Indiana Daily Student

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones, too.

In 1978, John Carpenter revolutionized the slasher horror subgenre with his classic “Halloween.” In 2018, after sequels, remakes, remakes of sequels and sequels of remakes, things finally make sense in Haddonfield, Illinois. Now, things are back to the beginning with a definitive sequel, simply entitled “Halloween.” On today’s episode of Double Feature, hosts Chris Forrester and Annie Aguiar talk Halloween, "Halloween", and why we love them BOTH.

It’s hard to nail down precisely what horror film is – is it scary? Violent? Bloody? But horror through film history has consistently been a response to taboos. In contemporary and independent horror, a new trend spins horror film into social metaphor. On a new episode of Double feature, hosts Chris Forrester and Annie Aguiar are joined by guest Joe Schroeder to talk about the recent social thriller “Get Out” and the period terror “the VVitch.”

Basketball season is back in Bloomington. The IU men's basketball team is set to start its 2018-19 season in just days with an exhibition Nov. 1 against Southern Indiana before the season opener Nov. 6 against Chicago State.

IDS men's basketball writers Cameron Drummond, Ben Portnoy and Murphy Wheeler breakdown this season's men's basketball roster and schedule.

Spooky season is upon us as we draw closer and closer to Halloween, but not everyone has the stomach for the gory flicks that define most of the horror genre. There are plenty of options for the weak-stomached that hold back on the blood and guts but still deliver on achieving the perfect vibe for the season. For the fourth episode of Double Feature, hosts Chris Forrester and Annie Aguiar gush over not one, but two masterpieces from Laika Studios— "Coraline" and "Paranorman."

Our special guest this week is IDS photographer Alex Deryn.

So sit back, get some comfy headphones, and... watch… as we dive in

Telling true stories is hard. There’s a delicate balance between adhering to fact and creating something in compelling and cinematic that’s hard to get just right without venturing into overt sensationalizing or relentless boredom. For our third episode of Double Feature, hosts Chris Forrester and Annie Aguiar speak as journalists first and film fanatics second as we talk about Journalism movies-- the good, the bad, and “The Post.”

Our special guest this week is IDS business beat reporter Alex Hardgrave.
