On today’s episode I’m joined by Jessie, a fellow horror reviewer and curator of gorgeous, colour coordinated screenshots over on Instagram @softxdeath. Jessie and I knew that today we didn’t even need an FFO - our topic was pretty much decided for us via a mutual obsession for Konami’s 2001 psychological survival horror game, Silent Hill 2. Join Jessie and I as we navigate through the decaying wasteland that is James Sunderland’s subconscious, lament the death of Pyramid Head at the hands of consumerism and wonder if we will ever get to play PT. Check out Jessie’s Instagram @softxdeath. Jessie is such a selfless and supportive member of our community, so please consider donating to the multiple good causes she has curated on her linktree!

Episode 7: The Wailing with James David Hillmer (@jdhillmer)

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
