I'm Glad You Exist

BACK FROM BEYOND THE PODCAST GRAVE!

But for real, just a big ol' hiatus whilst I got some life stuff sorted.

Big episode today - we're going familiar with my own family, my big brother, Dan Liot.

Dan is on instagram as @jerseysoberwalker and has become an influencer and promoter within the sober scene in Jersey. He's been sober for over 1700 days now and we're chatting about where that came from, the struggles along the way and what the future looks like for him.

BONUS EPISODE

Context found within, tl;dr, I've moved flat and got engaged! I haven't had any time to set-up a new home studio yet for recording, so until that's back up and running, here's a little sneaky episode Nyxx and I got done before I packed up all the kit.

On today's episode I'm joined by frontman, musician and fashionista, Jack Bergin

Jack is the vocal talents behind Australian metal band, Void of Vision.

Their music crosses a range of themes, from depression and substance abuse to eroticism.

Void of Vision are one of my favourite bands creating music today, and in this chat you'll hear all about VoV's origins and transformations over the year, what success means to the band and what lies ahead for a collective of talented musicians who are just finding their stride.

You can follow Jack on instagram @backjergin, and the band @voidofvision.

Hey guys! A quick update for y'all about the immediate future of CC.

TLDR: We're taking a lil break for our own sanity and will commence your regular horror programming very soon!

Stay spooky,

John

We're keeping the finger on the pulse of contemporary horror this week! We watched The Outwaters, "it's the 2023 Blair Witch!", is it though? I guess, kinda?! What it definitely is is a found footage movie that's generated a lot of hype and we were certainly on the train too! 

We conclude Nightmare Fuel by also dipping back into Found Footage, how serendipitous!

From the horrors of a living room in Skinamarink, to a good ol' fashioned black mass orgy in an abandoned building - this week we're chatting about Baskin! An offering from the lands of Turkey where such cultural differences are imperative to getting the most out of this story.

Can you spy him, deep within? Little Possum, black as sin.

2018's Possum, written and directed by Matthew Holness is one of John's favourite films, let alone horror films. Tune in for 90 minutes of him gushing to Nyxx about why this film is so good, whilst simultaneously being an horrifically awful viewing experience.

Intro theme song by Sam Delanoe

The year's most divisive movie takes the form of this narratively obtuse, indie horror. Is it the nostalgic horrorscape 50% of the audience celebrate it as, or is it simply a weird little film that stands out because it breaks convention so brazenly? Find out RIGHT NOW!

Intro theme song by Sam Delanoe

It's the mac-daddy, grandfather of all found footage films, The Blair Witch Project and Crafting Chills is spending almost three hours going into our biggest takeaways from this cultural phenom. 

Thus concludes Found Footage month and we move onto our next theme -- NIGHTMARE FUEL!

3-2-1 AND WE'RE LIVE!

No we're not, and neither is the conceit of this film, so this opening bit by me really makes no sense.

What does make sense is this absolute horror icon being just about as flawless as a found footage horror film can be! And for the lazy among us, it's even more scary because *gasp!* SUBTITLES! That's right, this Spanish horror darling is Crafting Chill's first foreign language film, and what a gem to lead the way!
