In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2019 film Midsommar.
Episode Highlights: Katherine discusses the problems of generic classification, Anthony shares his appreciation of Florence Pugh's performance, and we debate how the film changes depending on whether it is a horror film or just a really dark coming-of-age story.
A Dose of Scholarship: To learn more about the trickiness of generic classification, you cannot go wrong with texts like Stephen King's Danse Macabre or Noel Carroll's The Philosophy of Horror.
