    Reacting to the August 2024 catch-up episode. Thanks for the recommendations - how did I miss The Valley of Violence?! Loved the “don’t say it” moment. Your work is always appreciated.

  • Not digging the weird “Morning ZOO!” vibe

    I’m a big fan of horror, and consequently of most horror themed podcasts, but I am not a fan of this weirdly out of place vibe.the whole thing is packaged with this out of place rock radio “wacky” morning DJ vibe, or like sports talk radio. From the opening seconds when you are blasted with booming bass, electric guitar, rock radio style intro, to the main host using that fake, bombastic, “radio guy” voice that is typically reserved for talk radio, game shows, and used car commercials, and throw... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP#482 - Jordan Downey (THE CYCLE)
Q: Where did your fascination with that world begin? And what was the process of making it feel authentic?
Downey learned about body farms and researched forensic anthropology, consulted experts, and used their guidance to make Megan's work credible. He saw the profession as a way to explore a forensic investigator who helps identify the dead and bring closure to families.
EP#482 - Jordan Downey (THE CYCLE)
Q: What was it about that world that inspired you? And how did it begin to influence the story that you were telling?
Downey and Kevin Stewart drew on the Pacific Northwest's foggy, desaturated atmosphere and their interest in police procedurals to shape the film's investigation and mood. They also wanted to bring an aquatic-horror element into the werewolf story.
EP#482 - Samantha Sloyan (Mike Flanagan's Carrie) 🩸
Q: How did you perform the scene where Carrie smacks you across the kitchen?
We planned with a stunt approach, experimented with securing the hand, and used a harness to ensure the action looked real while keeping safety intact, with multiple takes and camera movements to capture the impact.
EP#478 - Eli Roth ( Ice Cream Man)
Q: How did you cast the Ice Cream Man and develop that unsettling, almost friendly neighborhood persona for the character?
Roth explains he pictured the Ice Cream Man archetype as a warm, nostalgic neighbor and then let the actor bring the unsettling edge through precise choices, ultimately choosing Ari Millen for his ability to inhabit that balance without slipping into caricature.
EP#476 - Riley Barker (That's A Bad Idea, camera assistant on Obsession)
Q: What was the most challenging scene to film on Obsession?
The bedroom scene with flowers and the intense party sequence stand out as high-pressure shoots that required careful choreography, multiple takes, and coordination across departments to maintain the mood and timing.
