Episode 7 It Follows (2014)
Running Scared
07/09/21 • 79 min
This week hosts Jamie Roberts and Robert Lendrum review David Robert Mitchell's 2014 horror It Follows. An incredible film with a whole lot of parents killing their kids sometimes in very sexy ways. We talk about the looming feeling of dread that the monster personifies and the pragmatics of escaping this relentless creature. On our True Horror segment we look at the Lions of Tsavo. Plus - Jamie tries to add toes to our rating system.

Episode 68 Smile (2022)
Running Scared
06/12/24 • 71 min
What is a smile when it's disingenuous? What is it covering up? Parker Finn's directorial debut Smile (2022) uses trauma not just as a theme but as an actual device to transfer a horrible demon between unsuspecting witnesses. Borrowing from Hereditary, It Follows and the Ring, among others, we argue Smile still brings something fresh and unique to horror genre. We ask the big questions: Did Rose kill the cat? Do we need the inability to communicate cliche? Or the annoying b-characters? Is the monster physically real? Does it pop into a room like a Leprechaun? Is the monster from REC and Barbarian popping up in everything these days? Plus we look at the Monster Metrics and the ASPM rate is off the charts!

Running Scared co-hosts Jamie and Rob take you "behind the scenes" on the production of our latest jogcast "The Belly".
