Pause Podcast

Pause Podcast

A podcast where two gals who love film try to yap their way into becoming indie darlings. Hosted by Daniella Bernadel and Kara Grozan. Pause Pod is your safe space to love cinema however feels right to you. We believe film discussions should feel like sleepovers with your besties. It should be fun and intellectual, but never pretentious. No gatekeeping, no "you have to watch this to be a real film girl", just genuine conversations about movies that matter to us, stories we feel should be uplifted and creating a community where everyone's perspective is valued.

    Spooky Season (One) Sendoff

    Welcome back Darlings! We've made it to our Season One Finale! This week we're closing out spooky season (and our first season) with a double feature that left us emotionally wrecked and shaking in our boots: His House and Psycho. From modern indie horror to Hitchcock's revolutionary classic, we're unpacking guilt, survival, and why horror is so much more than jump scares. We're reflecting on our journey through the world of horror, showing respect to our elders, and processing why these films about inner demons and outer terrors have us feeling all the feelings. From building our personal horror curriculum to discovering that the scariest monsters are often the ones we carry with us, this finale is equal parts spooky and sentimental. And because it's a finale, we're also doing our Q3 Letterboxd roundup where we're sharing our favorite films from the last quarter of the year. Kara's picks are Heartburn and One Battle After Another, while Dani's going with The Long Walk and Him (which features her newest celebrity crush AND an FSU alum, go Noles!). We are so grateful to all of our fans this season! We've loved discussing films with you and we have so much exciting stuff planned for next season that we cannot wait to share. So grab your blanket (to hide under), a friend (to hold onto), and your comfort chaser (to prevent nightmares). This is a season sendoff you don't want to miss. Goodbye and see y'all next season!
