No Stranger To Horror

**Content Warning: Part of the discussion does also reference the #Metoo movement and sexual assault in reference to both of the movies.**

Montreal based alt-pop singer and life-long horror fan Maryze comes on the show for a double-header featuring The VVitch (2015) and Jennifer’s Body (2009)!

Together, Maryze and I, discuss what went wrong with marketing of Jennifer’s Body, the trauma faced by the characters, #Metoo, why Megan Fox’s performance was underrated, some hot takes on the 2020 film A Promising Young Woman (spoilers), and much more!

Maryze also opens about the struggles of the music industry, her journey as an artist, why she loves horror, and how Tik Tok changed her career when she began reviewing deadly icicles.

Grab your silver weaponry and fortify your doors and windows, as this next episode of the podcast tackles the 2002 cult film Dog Soldiers directed by Neil Marshall. 

Along with me on the ride is long-time werewolf film superfan actor Gabriel Carter (Award-winning short films: Roses, Time Heals No Wounds, and Mistress of Bones) who talks about both director Neil Marshall’s spin on the legendary monsters as well as his bestial love for unappreciated sub-genre.

Gabriel and I get deep into several horror-related topics including directors who would make the perfect werewolf movie, CGI vs practical effects, and who we think will win between King Kong vs Godzilla.
