For Episode 3 I’m joined by Joel H. Brewster, a fellow horror writer, filmmaker and podcaster over at No Stranger to Horror and writer at westcoaststrange.

Joel’s FFO was bleak, gory and twisted, and so we decided to chat about Can Evernol’s 2015 sordid cesspit Baskin. Join Joel and I as we discuss all manner of hellish topics including trypophobia, police brutality and my appalling pronunciation of the Turkish language. Let us know what you think: are these cops destined to spend eternity getting their eyeballs licked? And Can Evernol if you hear this, can we please have a Baskin video game?

On today’s episode I’m joined by Joe Chen, drummer and vocalist for UK death metal band Vacuous, and writer/review for Grinding Horror Zine.

Joe’s music taste might be on the blacker side, but his FFO of uncanny, heartless and colour was a welcome challenge; after all, an iconic colour palette is integral to the mood of any good horror. Alex Garland’s 2018 trippy sci-fi biobodyhorror has colour in abundance; nauseating yellows and lush forest greens all seeping through the migraine-inducing spill of the Shimmer. Join Joe and I as we discuss disease, decay and death metal.

On today’s episode I’m joined by Rebecca McCallum, film journalist, assistant editor for Ghouls Mag and author of Mums + Sons zine.

Rebecca is one of the most hard-working women in horror, having had her writing featured in Rue Morgue, Dread Central and Grim Magazine, as well as her series with Moving Pictures film club about the Women of Hitchcock AND her recently published pocketbook. I knew having Rebecca on the show meant incredibly thoughtful analysis and amazing insights, and her FFO of Gothic, dreams and women leant itself perfectly to a film deserving of such: Roman Polanski’s 1968 meditation on the horrors of motherhood and misogyny: ROSEMARY’S BABY.
Join Rebecca and I as we dissect one of the most important, troubled, terrifying and relevant horror films of our time. Vodka blush anyone?

Content warning: This episode contains discussion of rape, child abuse and sexual assault.

On today’s episode I’m joined by James Hillmer, a researcher and PHD student in Korean history and host of the stand up comedy based podcast Don’t Sit in the Front.

James and I have common ground, having both lived in South Korea and even ran in the same social circles there, so I knew I had to use his expertise and tackle a Korean horror - we chose Na Hong-jin’s 2015 bleak and bloody The Wailing. Join James and I as we discuss shamanism, Squid Game and so much more.

James is also producer of the Korean culture and politics podcast @heungcoalition
