The Horror Pod Class

Horror is fun and important. Orrin and Tyler look at a movie each episode and examine what is good, what is bad, and how it could be used in the classroom or out of the classroom to teach us something about ourselves.

S03E06: Don't Breathe and the Captive Woman

The Horror Pod Class ·

2019/09/19

2016's Don't Breathe happened to strike a chord with the public, making ten times what it cost to make. To Dawn Keetley, a Professor of English at Lehigh University, it signifies a growing trend in our cultural subconsciousness. We use her essay, "Lock Her Up! Angry Men and Captive Women in Post-Recession Horror" as a jumping-off point to discuss the movie and what trends we are currently seeing at the nexus of politics, culture, and horror.

S03E05: Depraved with Larry Fessenden

The Horror Pod Class ·

2019/09/11

Today we are joined by a very special guest, Larry Fessenden. His latest movie, Depraved, is a modern retelling of Frankenstein and Tyler and Mike loved it so much we just had to get Larry on to discuss the movie. We have a wide-ranging discussion including Larry's early '90s cult hit Habit, what draws Larry to the classic movie monsters, which themes in Frankenstein still have cultural significance, and how your kid son rebels against you when you are a horror movie maker.

S03E04: The Monster and Alcoholism

The Horror Pod Class ·

2019/09/04

Welcome back class! Today we are diving into a 2016 movie that you may have missed, The Monster. It's out on Netflix right now and it totally got Tyler right in the feels. Mike too. It's a good flick that does a whole lot of stuff right, including its depiction of an alcoholic parent. So today we are discussing how The Monster gets that so right when other movies and TV shows (looking at you Cheers and The Shining) get it totally wrong.

Welcome back class, glad you could join us for another Horror Podclass where we dissect and define some of the concepts and ideas in horror. To that end, we are looking at Haunted House stories! When did they first appear? What elements do they all have? How can you tell if YOUR house in haunted? Are any of the Paranormal Activity sequels or prequels worth seeing?

S02E39: The Cultural Significance of Cannibal Holocaust

The Horror Pod Class ·

2019/05/31

Today we are talking about the 1980 film Cannibal Holocaust and while it has its problems and its problematic elements, it is often cited as both a horror classic and the first found footage film. Today, we are diving into the film that everyone always mentions but maybe hasn't watched start to finish. We both watched the whole movie and did some research about where a movie like this comes from and what cultural significance it might still have in our internet age.

Extra Credit: Interview with Jenn Wexler

The Horror Pod Class ·

2019/05/20

The beauty of small theatres is that they act as little pockets of experimentation. They are smaller and more adaptable and willing to try lots of different things to get people in the door. That's why last week Screenland Armour hosted a kick ass free screening of The Ranger directed by Jenn Wexler. A small budget slasher film with a fiesty indepededent spirit was exactly what I needed to start the work week. The Ranger at its core is a movie about a girl whose uncle dies in the woods only

S02E38 Mother! Deep Ecology and other stuff

The Horror Pod Class ·

2019/05/17

Welcome back to the Horror Pod Class! Today we are talking about the movie, Mother! Not the Danzig Song. Not the Mike Pence catchphrase. No, we are talking about the super weird fever dream of a movie that captured our hearts (pun intended). There is a lot to unpack about this movie, including the biblical imagery and the discussion about how art is perceived, but there is a really cool undercurrent of philosophical themes related to Deep Ecology and Eco-Feminism.
