The Just Enough Trope Podcast

Put on your best satin cape with us this week as we talk with Melissa F. Olson, author of the Old World horror universe! Do vampires poop? Can werewolves swim? How can you rule an undead empire when you have to spend all day in a coffin? We get all of our supernatural questions answered in this turkey dinner of an interview, with a little Cloris Leachman on the side.

Plus, we've got greatly exaggerated news of the death of the movie business, tributes to Aretha Franklin and Marie Severin, a look back at the Maltese Falcon, a look forward to The House with a Clock in its Walls, and a drunk and disorderly call at the Star Wars cantina!

Wait, Thanos! You missed a few!

Tune in, turn on, and pod out with us this week as we trip through a collection of psychedelic films! Sort of . . . that was the plan, but the whole enterprise ends up being something of a "The Story of the Story" kind of thing. You'll see.

We're looking at Night is Young, Walk On Girl, Mindgame, and Devilman Crybaby, by Yuasa Masaaki, and Enter the Void by Gaspar Noe, plus a whole extra host of films and shows with non-linear storytelling and trippy visuals!

Plus, we've got news of Brendan Fraser, GotG Vol. 3, Crazy Rich Asians, James Bond, Doctor Who, and the refreshing taste of Peppermint!

You ready, B? Let's go get 'em!
