Today, as this episode releases, is July 30, 2020 — the 16-year anniversary of the release of M. Night Shyamalan's The Village (2004). For those who don't know, "The Village" is a social-psychological Thriller about how innocence can be lost by trying to protect it too fiercely.

If you could spend three hours and 17 minutes trying to explain why your all-time favorite movie is a masterpiece, would you do it? Damn right! Your host of Considering the Cinema, Jason Pyles (aka "Jay of the Dead"), has spent years trying to explain why M. Night Shyamalan's The Village (2004) is his all-time favorite film and and cinematic masterpiece. It is doubtful that anyone will listen to all three hours and 17 minutes, but Jay just had to put this out there on the official record. Plus, if someone ever asks for an explanation again, this episode exists!

Don't worry, this isn't a three-hour solocast! In Episode 032, Jay welcomes three different special guests, including his wife, Natalie Pyles, filmmaker and podcaster Joshua Ligairi, and filmmaker Mack Robins. This episode is comprised of five sections, namely Section 1: Memories of Opening Night with guest Natalie Pyles, Section 2: Box Office, Section 3: Story and Theme with guest Wolfman Josh Ligairi, Section 4: Technical Filmmaking and Soundtrack with guest Mack Robins, and Section 5: Listener Question and Concluding Thoughts. Listen as long as you're able!

Like brains? Then you'll love listening to special guest Kyle Bishop (aka Dr. Walking Dead) because he's very smart about zombie cinema. In Episode 030 of Considering Horror Cinema, your late-night Horror host Jason Pyles (aka "Jay of the Dead") and Kyle Bishop review The Cured (2018) and four zombie short films: Zombies V The CWA (2019) and The Last Taxi Driver (2018) and Still (2016) and Zombied (2019). You will hear Dr. Walking Dead's take on our current predicament with this global pandemic COVID-19. Jay and Kyle also muse about whether the zombie can help us through our world's apocalyptic outlook. Kyle says zombie films are not a genre. And he also discusses why a short film is not a short story. A short story is a regular movie. And a novel is equivalent to a series. Jay also brings you his first installment of his What Monsters Mean series as he and Kyle discuss What Zombies Mean. Join us!
