The monster film brings our darkest fears to screen. It puts us face-to-face with the things we fear most as a collective society. Today, we examine how the monster film has changed over time and place in film history, what makes a great movie monster, and how history and culture has changed our perception of what to fear. For this, we will be examining the original Godzilla (1954) and its historical post-WWII context and the modern Jordan Pelle horror film Nope (2022).

The western is a genre most popular from the 1940s to 1960s that takes the frame to the vast and lawless American West, exploring a land amidst its transition from a frontier to a country. Within a world yet to be tamed, we see an America stripped down to its survival, and thus, showing some of its true colors and values within it. We examine two films: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966) a quintessential epic classic epitomizing the genre, and The Power of the Dog (2021) a modern approach aiming to reflect the genre.
