    SHE DIES TOMORROW: Cursed Communication (ft. Eli from Bad Critic)

    In Part 2/2, we talk existential dread, absurdist philosophy, COVID-19, isolation, abortion, depression, fake news, and the meaning of life! Wow, that's a lot. But it's a loaded movie! Join us for our discussion on SHE DIES TOMORROW (2020), directed by Amy Seimetz. Along with film critic and communications major Eli from Bad Critic, we then compare the film to PONTYPOOL to determine what these films say about the ethics of communication.

    Blame Canada, mutts! We're talking zombies, propaganda, ethics of journalism, and metaphorical metaphors in this month's episode on PONTYPOOL (2008).

    CLOVERFIELD: Post-9/11 Anxiety (ft. Austin Torres)

    In Part 2/2 in our exploration of post-9/11 horror and how the wake of a national tragedy twisted our films, we turn to J.J Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Drew Goddard. CLOVERFIELD (2008) is a found footage giant monster movie that implores imagery from the terrorist attack and a group attempt to survive in a ravaged New York City. Joined again by Austin Torres (Would You Die? Podcast, Spider short film), we talk about healing through validation vs escapism, the depiction of the military, and of course compare it all back to RED EYE (2005) from last episode.

    RED EYE: Post-9/11 Anxiety (ft. Austin Torres)

    Riding a plane alongside dreamy-eyed Cillian Murphy may seem like a typical rom-com set-up, but it’s 2005 and you can’t trust anyone. The Dogs are joined by fellow podcaster/filmmaker Austin Torres (Would You Die? Podcast, Spider short film) to soar through the paranoia and patriotism that followed 9/11, and horror legend Wes Craven just so happened to direct this Rachel McAdams thriller, RED EYE (2005). And join us next week for Part Two, where we’ll be discussing the found footage giant monster flick CLOVERFIELD (2008).

    I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978): Getting Even (ft. Chloé Harper Gold), pt. 1

    Revenge is a dish best served bloody, hanged, and run over with a motorboat. The Dogs are joined by friend of the pod Chloé Harper Gold (writer, critic) for their analysis of the always controversial horror sub-genre of rape revenge. Starting off with the original I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE: is this an exploitation movie or could this actually be a feminist film masquerading as one? Then, join us next week for PART TWO where we analyze Coralie Fargeat's REVENGE (2017).  . "Day of the Woman: A Feminist Look at I Spit on Your Grave" by Candy Allison and Erica.
