Fearbaiting

This week, Lavender joins us to take a break from horror movies to argue semantics about whether or not Robert Rodriguez’s From Dusk Till Dawn, is actually a horror movie? Sara picks a real stupid hill to die on, because with the amount of Quentin Tarantino foot content in this movie, it is undoubtedly a horror film.

Lavender can be found on twitter at @lavendermanna!

Velcome back, dear listeners. I am speaking in a overblown German accent as is customary and am telling you this instead of vriting it out because halfvay through this bit I realized how tiresome that vould be.Bleh! This week, we brought Stephanie (@ageofoddish) along with us to venture into a world of bad German accents, metafiction, and Willem DaFoe as we watched Shadow of the Vampire! Mostly we talk about the Twilight series, but I think you can forgive us for that one.

This week on Fearbaiting, the search is over. This two-year psyop disguised as a podcast to find the new CEO of Beyblades, Inc has come to a close, and that person is JB (@GemstoneJester)! In addition to their job interview, we also got to talk for a bit about the 2000 adaptation of Junji Ito’s Uzumaki! And boy, do I hope you like impressions of cartoon characters in this one, because we’ve got them in spades this week!

Welcome back, y’all! This week, after months and months of consideration, we’ve invited Su to join us once again to talk about Death Note! No, not the 2009 movie, or the ill-fated Netflix adaptation, but the whole damn anime itself! We, of course, talk about the nuances of criminality and justice and the highbrow hugebrained philosophies of Death Note but also, of course, about how every character in Naruto is Catholic.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken
• Flash in the Pan

Friend of the show Morg joins us to talk about Bong Joon-Ho’s new film, Parasite! We recommend that you don’t listen to this before you’ve had a chance to see the film for yourself, but whatever! We’re not your dad!

We also talk about how the show is going to take a break from the end of November to the start of February, because Sara needs to avoid burnout, and we thank you for your understanding.

Oh, the morally-neutral winds of fate have swept us by again, which is to say, we talked about Monster House last episode in conversational passing and then we just happened upon someone who wanted to watch it with us, that person being JB (@GemstoneJester). So we did! Join us as we struggle to remember what that one movie… also from this era… you know… the other Halloween one… is called, talk in surprising detail about MoCap, discuss the ethics of putting a woman in a cage, and SO much more!

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Parasite (2019)
• Overworlds
