When fact is stranger than fiction, and fear is something we all have in common, we present Documentary Horror. Covering a number of styles, we analyze Cropsey, The Galapagos Affair, and The Nightmare. With a few honorable mentions: Brother's Keeper, and Jesus Camp.
Lunch Hour Reviews Circle, Hush & 3 Seconds
We took our mics and recorder out for some fresh air. Recording outdoors to talk the sci-fi horror Circle, then Mike Flanagan's new Netflix film Hush, and we have an interview with Alex J. Mann, the writer/director of the Snapchat movie 3 Seconds. Also we cover the details of @SaveHorror's March Madness challenge between some podcasting colleagues. Check out Miskatonic Musings + The Girls in the Back Row + Women in Caskets.
The Flys!
We compare and contrast two classic sci-fi horror film adaptations: The Fly from 1958, starring Vincent Price, and David Cronenberg's 1986 body horror classic with Jeff Goldblum & Gina Davis.
Green Room!
Jeremy Saulnier's hardcore punk survival story Green Room is an impressive work. Honest and brutal, perfectly plotted, the scares and shocking moments are concussively impactful. Green Room is out Friday, April 15th in New York, and LA and nationwide April 29th. Check it out, see it with friends.
Ice Cream Man!
We watched Ice Cream Man. The the bizarre 1995 collaboration between Clint Howard and a prolific porn director. Mindy loves it for numerous reasons, and Darren is still confused. We also cover The Walking Dead Season 6 finale, do some catching up, and talk music. Apophenia is out now on the FANGORIA MUSICK site, on iTunes.
The Horrors of Roman Polanski
Joining us for this deep dive into the works of Roman Polanski is Keith from SaveHorror.com. Co-hosting while Mindy is away, he shares some favorite correlations between Repulsion (1965), and the classic Rosemary's Baby (1968). We follow the arc of these two classic horror icons and the psychological trials they're put through.
Apophenia Album Release!
My album Apophenia on FANGORIA Musick label is out today! Available at the Fangoria store for 3 bucks, and on the iTunes here. It'll soon be on Amazon, Spotify, and Google Play, as well.
It's 15 tracks; 13 instrumentals, with 2 bonus tracks including the song When I... that features Mindy on vocals. Samples can be found in our Music section.
The Invitation
For this Lunch Hour Review we cover Karyn Kusama's suspense-driven ensemble piece The Invitation. In theaters April 8th, starring Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, John Carroll Lynch, and Jay Larson. The comedian and podcaster (cohost of The Crab Feast) was nice enough to do a phone interview with Darren to talk about his experience on set, and future projects (pssst, he's gonna be on Twin Peaks).
