PODCAST

Movies and Chaos

Mark Palermo, Serena Whitney

This is a podcast looking at the impact and legacy of cult films. It’s hosted by Mark Palermo (former critic, screenwriter of Detention) and Serena Whitney (former critic, programmer of The Revue Cinema in Toronto). The movies discussed tie into screenings happening at The Revue and Thrillema, a cult series Palermo helps run in Halifax. Why do these movies endure? Is some stuff too much for modern audiences? Theme music: "Hypernormalization" by Rich Aucoin, Artwork: Ryan Wilson
