GBW #7: Strangers in a Strange Land (Green Room / Hostel / From Dusk Till Dawn)


Listen Later

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!

On this week’s episode, Chris chose siege horror films, specifically ones in which our characters are completely side-swiped by the turn of events. We start the discussion with Jeremy Saulnier’s 2016 tension-filled, backwoods horror-thriller “Green Room,” followed by one of Eli Roth’s “best” movies - 2005’s “Hostel” - before closing out with the 1996 genre-bender “From Dusk Till Dawn,” directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino. We analyze all three of them in regards to their different approaches to violence and how each flavor of it does (or doesn’t) work for the story being told.
