  • Great movie talk!

    Andy is a fabulous podcast host. He knows how to have great conversations with people, and it is obvious how much he loves movies. I really appreciate his insights on movies, books, and more. I look forward to each new episode!

  • Great MidWest Film Podcast

    The best part of listening to Andy is not his incredible wealth of film knowledge, or his wide taste in genres, it’s that he actually cares about the films as much as he cares about the people he’s talking to and you get a little touch of local history or personal history in each episode, also love the new balcony series.

  • this is my first episode of this podcast, and I don't think I'll give it another chance. they didnt start talking about the movie til 34 minutes was left. so over an hour is just about the guests' life (which is fine if you are listening for that). so, if you are a fan of empire records I'd skip this podcast

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

214. Let's Taco 'Bout Widows featuring Arthur Howell
Q: If you were to sell this movie to someone who's never seen it, how would you hype it up?
I'd emphasize that it's not your typical heist movie; it balances sleek, stylish execution with grim consequences, and it features a powerhouse ensemble led by Viola Davis, all wrapped in a sharp political and social subtext.
214. Let's Taco 'Bout Widows featuring Arthur Howell
Q: Arthur, in your own words, what is Widows all about?
Widows is about deconstructing the tropes of the heist genre, showing that the film is more focused on the politics, gender dynamics, and the realities of its women leads than on the mechanics of the heist itself.
218. Let's Taco 'Bout The Curriculum of Horror featuring Duncan Barlow
Q: What are some examples of books or films you assign, and how do you balance accessibility and depth for students?
He discusses assigning novels (paired with lectures) and linking to online or journal articles to avoid high costs, while ensuring that core ideas from critical texts are conveyed through lectures and discussions.
218. Let's Taco 'Bout The Curriculum of Horror featuring Duncan Barlow
Q: How did horror become part of your academic teaching, and what methods do you use in your curriculum?
He explains a cross-disciplinary approach, starting with foundational horror theory and incorporating Deleuzian concepts, sound studies, disability studies, queer studies, and psychological research on empathy to create a continuum of horror discussions.
218. Let's Taco 'Bout The Curriculum of Horror featuring Duncan Barlow
Q: Duncan, who are you and where do you come from?
Duncan describes growing up in Louisville, playing in punk bands, moving to grad school for an MFA and PhD, and eventually becoming a professor who teaches horror literature/theory, with a family involvement in video editing and music.
