    Horror, Nostalgia & Physical Media with Brandon Christensen (Bodycam, Night of the Reaper)

    In this episode, I sit down with director Brandon Christensen to talk about his latest film Bodycam, a unique found-footage horror told entirely through the perspective of police bodycams. We get into the idea behind it, the challenges of working within that format, and what makes it such an effective way to tell a story. From there, the conversation opens up into a deeper look at Brandon’s love for film as an art form - from the movies and games that shaped him, to the drive to create and tell stories through cinema. We also get into something a lot of horror fans feel but don’t always talk about, how movies feel different now. The nostalgia of the 80s and 90s, the experience of discovering films back then, and the slow loss (and recent resurgence) of physical media and collecting as part of the culture. Of course, we dive into horror itself and why the genre continues to connect so strongly with audiences, and how it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves, both at the box office and on the awards stage. This is a laid-back, honest conversation about horror, nostalgia, and what keeps us coming back to movies in the first place.

    Movie Moguls with Craig Singer (Dark Ride/Perkins 14)

    In this episode, we sit down with director, producer, and author Craig Singer for a deep dive into a career that spans filmmaking, studio leadership, and the business side of Hollywood. Craig takes us back to his early days in the industry and the path that led him to creating films like Dark Ride, Perkins’ 14, and 6:45. We get into the stories behind these projects, the realities of independent filmmaking, and what it takes to bring bold ideas to the screen. We also discuss his latest project, The Block, and what continues to drive him creatively after decades in the industry. Beyond directing, Craig shares insights from his time as a VP at Disney, the decision to step away from the corporate world, and how he transitioned back into filmmaking and entrepreneurship, building and selling businesses along the way. A major part of the conversation focuses on his book, Moguls: The Lives and Times of Hollywood Film Pioneers Nicholas and Joseph Schenck, which explores the history of Hollywood through the rise of the Schenck brothers - from the silent era and the Roaring Twenties, through the Golden Age, World War II, and the paranoia of the McCarthy era. It’s a story that mirrors the evolution of Hollywood itself and the enduring pull of the American Dream. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories, industry insight, and a genuine love of film, this is a conversation that covers every side of what it means to build a life in the movies.

    Why Do We Love Horror? with Psychotherapist Katie Evans (Mental Health Monsters)

    In this episode we’re joined by psychotherapist Katie Evans for a fascinating conversation about the deep psychological connection between horror and the human mind. We explore Katie’s lifelong love of the genre and how her professional background has shaped the way she understands our attraction to the dark, the macabre, and the things that scare us. Why are we drawn to horror? What does our fascination with monsters, violence, and taboo ideas actually say about us? Together we dig into the psychology behind horror fandom - from repressed desires and difficult emotions to the safe space the genre creates for audiences to confront fear, grief, and the unknown. We also look at how different types of horror reflect different parts of the human psyche, and what they reveal when you scratch beneath the surface. Beyond the films themselves, we talk about the powerful sense of escapism and community that horror offers, and why so many people find comfort within the genre. Katie also shares details about her upcoming book, the incredible tour of talks she’s currently delivering across the UK and Ireland, and what’s next on her journey exploring the psychology of horror.

    Is This The Darkest 90s Horror Movie? Jacob's Ladder (1990)

    This week on the show, we descend into the haunting world of Jacob's Ladder - a film that, on the surface, feels like a straightforward psychological horror about demons, paranoia, and a man losing his grip on reality. But scratch beneath that surface and you’ll find something far more profound. What if this isn’t just a story about madness… but about death? About grief? About the terrifying space between holding on and letting go? In this episode, we explore the film’s deeper themes - the idea of being trapped between life and death, the fear of accepting the inevitable, and how resistance can turn peace into torment. We break down the behind-the-scenes origins of the film, the philosophical concepts that shaped it, and why its message may be one of the most emotionally devastating in horror history. Is it a demonic nightmare? A psychological breakdown? Or something far more spiritual? Sometimes the scariest thing isn’t the monster in the shadows - it’s the truth waiting at the end.
