Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 283: Tony DiTerlizzi on "The Wump" and the Horrors of Growing Up
Q: Could you talk a bit about exploring those themes of justice and revenge and where those lines blur, especially for a younger audience?
DiTerlizzi says the book treats revenge as psychological horror and draws on the anger children can feel when they are hurt. Unlike stories where the protagonist's anger simply erupts, The Wump asks its hero to face what he is capable of and ultimately points toward healing.
Episode 283: Tony DiTerlizzi on "The Wump" and the Horrors of Growing Up
Q: Can you give us the elevator pitch, the log line, so to speak, for The Wump?
DiTerlizzi describes a middle-grade story about Timothy, an oddball 12-year-old who tries to follow the rules while facing bullies and an emotionally distant mother. His shadow self becomes a physical monster that helps him seek revenge, until the consequences become serious.
Episode 282: Mostly Horror Rewind - Levi Holloway's Grey House
Q: Could you talk about the writing process of this play and sort of where it began?
Holloway says Grey House came quickly after the deaths of his twin sister and father. He wrote from grief, family history, personal nightmares and the play's mythology, developing the work through collaboration with artists at A Red Orchid Theatre.
Episode 282: Mostly Horror Rewind - Levi Holloway's Grey House
Q: What are your thoughts in general on horror and theater, and whether or not we should have more of it?
Holloway argues that theater can make horror especially immediate because audiences share a live space with performers. He sees horror as change and says Grey House uses honesty, emotional exposure and carefully guided attention rather than relying only on jump scares.
Episode 288: Halloweenie Hangout with Mimi Dybs
Q: What are two movies on Halloween that you think are must watches?
For a family-style Halloween, Dybs picks Casper and Hocus Pocus. For a scarier movie night, she recommends Heretic and The Babadook.
