SCARETRODUCING

We close out our HANNIBAL LECTER series with 2007's prequel "Hannibal Rising" a.k.a Young Hannibal!

Join us as we debate the movie, rank all the films in the series and pay tribute to the late, great Joel Schumacher who passed away earlier this week.

Enjoy!

As always, thanks to:

It's the final Hopkins entry of the series & to close it all off the creators decided to go right back to the start with RED DRAGON.

Due to the fact that we covered 99% of this movie in our MANHUNTER episode (it's a remake for those who didn't know), this time we've done a more comparative episode in which we run through just what is done better/worse than the first attempt. And yes...we mention Ralph Fiennes penis.

Enjoy!

What do you do when your writer, director and one of your two Oscar winning stars refuse to return for a sequel? GO RIGHT AHEAD ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT! 

Alas we arrive at Ridley Scott's operatic, blood-fuelled, crazy-as-fuck entry into the HANNIBAL LECTER franchise and join us as we dive deep into the deep issues such as: should Anthony Hopkins have been recast? Is Clarice Starling reduced to nothing in this movie? And should people eat their own brains?

Listen to find out!

Arguably the best film we've ever covered on this podcast, this week we take a look at Jonathan Demme's masterpiece THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.

With a new Hannibal, new Jack Crawford, new director, new everything...the film became a pop-culture phenomenon AND critical darling, culminating with it taking home "The Big Five" at the 64th Academy Awards (Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Screenplay - adapted).

Outside of being a masterwork of cinema, the film also has it's place - and it's controversies - when it comes to societal issues and naturally we take our time to discuss them. We're talking Morality in genre films, Feminism, Trans representation, Diversity "quotas" and of course HANNIBAL FUCKING LECTER.

ENJOY!

Join us as we being a new mini-series and dive into the devilishly delicious world of Hannibal Lecter (or in this case "Lecktor")

FIVE! ZERO!

Folks, we hit 50 episodes & we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than rounding out what has been a disastrously disappointing franchise by covering 2006's clueless remake THE OMEN!

Listen as we divulge just how much this franchise likes to repackage the same lame scares time after time - and even offer up our own take on where the franchise should go in future.

Here's to half a century, GRACIAS POR ESCUCHARNOS!

The Omen franchise rumbles on with less and less fanfare, little-to-no interest from the wider public & depreciating returns in it's ideas or execution. Alas, we come to the fourth entry (the made-for-TV one) and, as always, we talked about it!

Listen at your peril!

Well well well, here we are with more deep dive discussions into the diabolical world of Damian Thorn & the Omen...it's OMEN III BABY!!!

Dutifully, our deliberations on the movie occasionally detour into other dreaded world including:

1) Death (FINAL DESTINATION)

2) Dinosaurs (JURASSIC PARK/WORLD)

3) Disease (IT FOLLOWS)

4) Deranged/Disturbed/Demented (AMERICAN PSYCHO)

Enjoy!

It's late, but it's here - our latest dive into THE OMEN franchise with 1978's DAMIEN: OMEN II.

Listen as the Scaretroducing due discuss the merit's of this sequel, as well as the cultural impact the franchise has had on the world (particularly naming kids Damien). We apologise for the delay, but regret nothing! Listen at your peril!

Also - a massive thank you to the Contra Zoom podcast (twitter: @ContraZoomPod) for featuring us on their recent "Make/Remake" episode covering THE INVISIBLE MAN. You can - and should - listen to the episode available via https://linktr.ee/contrazoompod

Celebrating our first year as a podcast, we begin a new mini-series: THE OMEN - starting with 1976's classic horror film.

Enjoy!
