Recluse Horror

The Recluse heads to Sam's lair to talk about Fright Night Part 1 and 2 in tonight's gripping episode of Recluse Horror! The Recluse confronts one of her most unhealthy obsessions, says a very odd word far too often, and Sam tries to turn the podcast into one about an unsuccessful eighties spin-off cartoon. The Recluse also decries Barney the Dinosaur as a form of behavior correction and/or punishment, delving into yet another of her emotional scars involving what should be entertainment. The movies discussed were: Fright Night (1985) Fright Night Part 2 (1988) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

Silent Sunday lives! Well, at least for tonight. In this episode, The Recluse and Sam discuss two works of fiction whose names are always mispronounced, The Call of Cthulhu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Ever wondered the correct pronunciation of Cthulhu? The Recluse will tell you (and then continue to use the more common pronunciations for the rest of the episode), even though the filmmakers behind this 2005 adaptation of the book took the coward's way out of pissing people off by choosing to make it as a silent film. Also discussed is the accuracy of Dracula adaptations to stage and film, fog effects, German Expressionism, sexy string beans, and Robert Smith from The Cure. The movies discussed were: The Call of Cthulhu (2005) The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

A curious entry from what is claimed to be the sixties starts off tonight's episode with Sam and The Recluse's review of The Beast of Yucca Flats. The Recluse explains the reasoning behind her particular soft spot for Tor Johnson, attempts to puzzle out the stranger aspects of the film, and shares a quote about the movie's director from Mystery Science Theatre 3000's Kevin Murphy. And the debate is lively once again in tonight's addition to the Keatingverse Saga with Sam and Rec's review of Pod! Why does Sam prefer Darling to Pod? Why does Rec prefer Pod to Darling? What is the one thing that makes this movie stick out to The Recluse? Why does she seem fixated on the director?

The knives are out in this episode of Recluse Horror, wherein Sam and The Recluse squabble over which of a director's movies are the least bad, assigning different sliding scales to the quality of the pieces in question. The Recluse rants about stealing and misusing material from better filmmakers and names Osgood Perkins as one of the emerging writer-directors that excites her the most.  Sam and Rec both lament the annoyance of watching a movie for the first time under the wrong circumstances and the affect this can have on developing a fair opinion.

In this episode, Sam and The Recluse discuss what happens when the audience isn't in on your joke with Drag Me to Hell and the brilliant, subtle ways that the filmmakers behind I Am Not a Serial Killer try to put you into the mind of their main character that, sadly, may have been lost on general audiences. The Recluse, universally known for being on top of her game and incessantly informative, also momentarily confuses the title of a Sam Raimi film for that of a long-running anime series.
