In a slight deviation from a singular focus on horror media, we talk about one of the OG goths, Mary Shelley. She is credited by many as one of the early the progenitors of sci-fi horror with the creation of Frankenstein. A complicated woman with an even more complicated story. Join us as we dive into Mary Shelley's life. Her loves, her losses, and the legacy she left behind.
In our first Special Episode, we decide to forgo The Great Wheel's decision just this once and discuss the current smash hit Obsession. Please join us as we discuss how this indie production managed to become one of the highest grossing films of the year. We are going to be outlining the plot and dissecting the themes as well as positing a few theories of our own. CW: discussions of misogyny, violence, sexual assault, and animal death
Rooty and Luffy take a trip to the Amazon with the monster movie classic The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Join us while we discuss the plot, the legend that inspired the film's story, and the behind the scenes content such as how they created the iconic Gill-Man suit.
We're starting our first episode strong, talking about the horror sci-fi classic, John Carpenter's The Thing. A film that barely earned back it's budget when it premiered, but went on to become a cult hit that inspired horror hounds going forward. Join us while we discuss it's plot, intricate themes, and amazing technical achievements.
