The Horror Pod Class

Welcome back to The Horror Pod Class! Today's discussion will center around the awesome Benson and Moorhead flick Resolution, with a bit of a continued discussion about their latest movie, The Endless.  Specifically, we discuss how the film uses addiction to tell a compellingly weird horror story and how they get it right when so many others don't.  Also, we make fun of some random guy who left a less than positive review on Amazon.  It's a good time.

Welcome back to The Horror Pod Class! Today's discussion will center around the brand new Netflix blockbuster, Bird Box.  Specifically, we discuss how the film uses a discussion of parenting styles to make an engaging narrative.  Also, we make fun of some random guy who left a review of The Happening on Amazon.  It's a good time.

Thanks for joining us for the second half of our favorites of 2018. Today we are talking about our favorite movies and articles we read. We are also making some bold and some not so bold predictions for 2019. Grab a seat class is about to begin.

Thanks for joining us again at The Horror Pod Class, today we are doing something a bit different for us... best of the year lists!  We are going to be walking you through some of the absolute best podcast episodes of the year and the best horror short fiction.  So let's jump in!

Welcome back to The Horror Pod Class! Today's discussion will center around the 2008 Swedish film, Let The Right One In.  Specifically, we will be discussing why this movie is better than your average vampire move and how it captures the stages of adolescence.

S02E17-Race, Class, Gender, bad reviews, and ideas for the remake

Welcome back after the Thanksgiving break!  Hope you all are rested and ready to learn about Psychogeography.  If you have never heard of the concept, don't worry!  Its really cool, fun, and not as hard to understand as its way too long and overly complicated Wikipedia entry indicates.

Welcome back class!  Today Tyler and Mike are talking about The Strangers (2018) and what it has to tell us as an exemplar of the Home Invasion Subgenre.  Is there even such a thing?  What does it mean and why does it scare us?  Did 9/11 change horror?  Those are some of the topics we cover, as well as "Tyler's Taxonomy of Home Invasion Movies."

Today we are discussing a franchise that we have all heard of and watched, the Saw franchise!  Yep, it doesn't matter if you love or hate Saw, you have to admit that at least the first one was pretty powerful.  Instead of hating on Saw, which we do a little bit, we take a look back at Jigsaw through the lens of French philosopher Michel Foucault's conception of "biopower" and "biopolitics."  Plus, hear Mike's take on S.T. Joshi's latest nonfiction work, 21st Century Horror.

Howdy boys and girls, welcome back to another Horror Pod Class!  Today we are all going to learn about the "Screenlife" movie making technique, why it works or doesn't, and what it could mean to the future of movie making.  What is "Screenlife?" Screenlife is an innovative digital language that tells a whole narrative within the frames of a screen. The method was created by Timur Bekmambetov, whose name Tyler doesn't even try to pronounce correctly.
