S2E17: DISGUST - Cat Benstead on Raw (2016)
The Beauty of Horror
Content warning: discussions of sexual assault, chronic illness, cannibalism, vomiting, skin conditions, bullying, and self doubt.
On this episode of The Beauty of Horror, Chandler talks with the host of TGIF: A Horror Movie Podcast, and the Founder and Co-Editor of Hear Us Scream: The Voices of Horror, Cat Benstead about Julia Ducournau's skin-crawling feature debut, RAW (2016)!
They talk about Cat’s relatively recent start in horror (which has now led to a second edition of an anthology of horror essays), a child’s path to autonomy, independence, and finding their place in the world, sibling rivalry, peeling off skin and Elmer’s Glue, social disgust, and, of course, aesthetics.
