Denis de Villneuve's Dune has exploded in our minds, and we have opinions about it. We compare it to David Lynch's film, Jodowrosky's unmade film, and go off on a few mild tangents. Duke, duke, duke!It's not an April Fool's Joke this time.

The gang (we're a gang now) discuss H.R. Gieger's particular brand of accessible horror-art, its origins, meaning, and influence, and about ten other subjects as our flow (and pronounciation of the man's name) keeps tacking back and forth like a whirligig in a hurricane. Good times.

The Brust of the Lieber Fitz-Gerald

Shallow & Pedantic ·

2020/09/22

We indulge in some Edmund Fitzgerald Porter and wax on about two creative fantasy authors that we've introduced each other two: Stephen Brust and Fritz Leiber. In the process, we hit upon why Andrew doesn't like cross-world fantasy, whether sci-fi and fantasy should be distinct, and stumble upon the Universal Field Theory of Creative Decline. A long and ramshackle episode, but fun.

The Philosophy of Horror

Shallow & Pedantic ·

2019/10/31

It's Halloween, so we must do the thing that Halloween Podcasts do: confront the terror of the season. No, not inappropriately-timed store displays, just a cliff-dive into the ontology of horror. What is it? Why do we make it? Is it tragedy or comedy? Is it didactic, or merely sublime? Do we have to talk about IT?
