Joe and Graham from Films at First Sight join Caitlin to cover 1999's Audition. Takashi Miike is a memorable director, and Audition is an unforgettable movie. Some view it as a feminist take on revenge; others view at as misogyny put to screen. Regardless of where you land, we can all agree that Asami is an iconic figure within the monstrous feminine and that Audition is damn scary. We expound on the film's themes of love, loneliness, depravity, and surrealism, and we like that we've grown to see the movie with new eyes. And we can't believe Joe's parents watched it. Tangents include: Joe's 40th, hair cuts, the "male loneliness epidemic," mojo dojo casa houses, rock stars, TV, sandwiches, morning vs night showers, choppable toes, crackers, and Daphne du Maurier. Full review starts around 25:30.

Audition: Kiri Kiri Kiri

Plug it Up is a horror movie podcast about the monstrous feminine. Host Caitlin Grant and her funny guests look at the monstrous feminine in all its forms, including: monstrous menstruation (like Carrie and Ginger Snaps), monstrous motherhood (like Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen), femmes fatales (like Jennifer’s Body and The Love Witch), black widows (like Dolores Claibore), body horror in women (like Teeth and Raw), treacherous friendships between women (like The Craft), women battling horrors (like You’re Next), and women who are themselves horrific (like Gone Girl). 

Although this show focuses on the experiences and portrayals of women in horror, it’s a gender inclusive space, and the discussion is open to people of all gender identities and presentations. It’s an explicitly intersectional feminist, trans-inclusive podcast for horror fans.
