This is the first episode of the Aughts pod to take the conversation international, and your hosts couldn't have a better guest for it. Shudder's Director of Programming, Sam Zimmerman, brings his vast genre knowledge to a discussion of Bustillo and Maury's New French Extremity touchstone: 2007's Inside. Jordan, Sam and Sam dig into the differences between French torture and American torture in the 2000s, the singular presence of Béatrice Dalle, the importance of baby POV, and — if you know you know — a little bit of Aly & AJ. Oh and also, there's a slight switch up to the talking format due to some unforeseen circumstances that have made this a, shall we say, high concept episode of Aughtsterion in its execution. Just listen and find out what that means.
