Episode 143: Director Andrew Traucki and Deliverance (1972‪)‬ Scarred For Life

This week we're joined by writer/director Andrew Traucki! He's an Australian filmmaker who made The Reef, Black Water and Black Water: Abyss as well as the found footage film The Jungle. His latest film, the standalone sequel The Reef: Stalked is out Friday in theaters and streaming on Shudder. His Scarred for Life moment was from the film Deliverance (1972), a film that established the "hillbilly horror" subgenre and has given a lasting legacy of tourism and filmmaking in Georgia as well as crafting a visual and audio cues surrounding the rural horror subgenre. We talk about The Scene, the banjos, eco-horror and the 70s idea of "masculinity in crisis"...all of which are sadly still pertinent today.

Here's a link for the article by Isabel Machado on Deliverance.

Andrew Traucki has a Facebook page for The Reef.
