Episode 93: Days of Horror with Mike Civins

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Every October my good friend Mike Civins does a horror movie marathon. He watches 31 titles over 31 days, like clockwork. I have always been curious about his project, which happily ranges far and wide and includes movies that aren’t often thought of as a horror. This year he watched the Alien movies, including Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien Resurrection, but he also saw Wolf’s Hole, a movie from Daisies director Vera Chytilova. Also on the menu were goodies like Angst, Dolls, and a truly horrifying film, The Cremator. So, Mike finally came on the podcast to talk about his adventures, both the highs and the lows. Mostly I just quiz him at random about titles from his list so I can listen to the outlandish plots. You may be wondering why I’m posting this now, and the answer is, why not?
