World of Horror with Mom & Mac

Mom & Mac / Christina Hare & Mac Hare

Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

WOLF CREEK, BLACK WATER & THE LOVED ONES Episode 5: Fair Dinkum! (Australia)

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

Send us a text

WoHos!

It's Australia week on the World of Horror Podcast!! Our all-watch this week is the 2005 slasher flick, WOLF CREEK. Mac watched the 2009 splatter film THE LOVED ONES, and Mom watched the killer crocodile film, BLACK WATER. Which role did John Jarratt (Mick Taylor in Wolf Creek) turn down? Which role in a killer crocodile film did he accept? How many humans do crocodiles kill per year? How many alligator and crocodile films has Mac seen?

Notes:
It seems Mick Taylor was referring to war crimes the Australians committed in Vietnam and that he was a member of the ANZAC.

Palindromes are words that have the same meaning backwards and forwards, such as noon and radar. "Semordinilaps" are words that have different meanings read backward and forward such as stressed/desserts, diaper/repaid or in the case of WOLF CREEK, Navithalim Mining Company (Ivan Milat), kind of.

Crocodiles are not dinosaurs nor are they descended from dinosaurs. They are cousins of dinosaurs. Badass cousins.

What did we get right? What do you want to fight us on? Aw, WoHo's, let's not fight!

Some folks I missed in the Thanks and Refs Bit: Allen Hyde, The DiMattias and Quinn McLaughlin.

Next week, our all watch is BLACK CHRISTMAS. Mac is watching ANNA & THE APOCALYPSE, Mom is watching EL DIA DE LA BESTIA, and our very special guest is watching BETTER WATCH OUT. Join us!

TENEBRAE & YOU'RE NEXT: Episode 111: Mac's Picks: Slashers: Gloves & Masks

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

07/09/23 • 135 min

(WoHos!)
You'll forgive the later-than-usual release of this episode. I got sidelined by a little of the mid-summer doldrums.
This week Mac and I looked at TENEBRAE from Italy and YOU'RE NEXT in our detour into slashers.
Next time we will be back on track discussing movies about possession with THE EXORCIST from the US (Which I think will be a first-time watch for Mac) & THE WAILING from South Korea (Which is a " I lost the number of times I have watched" movie for us).
Stuff we talked about
I overstated the stats (Maybe? They are hard to track) or child molestation. According to the National Center for Victims of Crime, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse.
The Instagram scholar I like a lot is Dan McClellan, on Thread at 4040915, who has a podcast called Data Over Dogma.
Thanks for all your support! If you'd like to subscribe to the podcast, we will give you a shout-out on the next show (and on all the shows!)
We love you, WoHos! DON'T go into the basement!

FRESH (2022) Episode 63: Meat Cute

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

03/25/22 • 38 min

Send us a text

WoHos!
Mac came to town to have lunch and so we had to record a bonus mini on FRESH, the best advertisement for veganism I have seen lately!
Spoilers abound, so if you haven't seen FRESH yet, I'd encourage you to do so. We'll be here when you get back.
We explore the pretty much successful feminist themes and bemoan some of the less successful intersectional feminist themes in the film.
There's a lot to celebrate here, and we are not just talking about Sebastian Stan's dance break! While it is not a perfect film, it got under our skin and it was lovely to discuss. We hope you will listen and enjoy.
Is Mom's theory about Ann's backstory completely wackadoo? Was Mollie drawn clearly enough for ya? How about that Alex Garland Choreo?
Coming up soon:
Mom's picks on Psychological Horror: THELMA from Norway and CARRIE from the US.
Mac's picks's on Beast/Animals Attack: BOAR from Australia and TREMORS from the US.
We are really digging this format. Mom also promises some minis later this spring.
We're also looking to pair THE ORPHAN, THE ORPHANAGE and THE BABADOOK. Suggestions welcome!
Listen. We love you. And DON'T go into the basement!

STARSHIP TROOPERS & SLASH/BACK: Episode 122: Aliens!

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

11/26/23 • 130 min

Send us a text

This week we looked at the cult classic, STARSHIP TROOPERS, which is a flick Mom can't believe she never saw. We both loved this one a ton.
We also looked at the low-budget gem, SLASH/BACK, from Canada, which talks about the friendship girls share as well as some aliens who land in a small Nunavut town. Mom went gaga for the scenery in this one.
There is lots of waffle up top in this one. If you want to jump to the movie talk, that starts at 26:18.
Next time on the main show we are looking at vamps with SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE from the US and RIGOR MORTIS from Hong Kong.
We are going to have one more special guest show on VIDEODROME and then we will have a couple of retrospective shows to finish out 2023.
Thanks for all your support, WoHos!
We love you and DON'T go into the basement!
Of course, Mom was talking about HAROLD & MAUDE.

THE THING (1982) Episode 65: Film vs. Film Podcast Special Guests It Means the World of Horror to Me™ Bonus Peak Russell

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

04/17/22 • 77 min

Send us a text

WoHos!
This week we talked practical effects, sausage parties, paranoia, isolation, childhood sleepovers, bro-ing out and how damn good looking Kurt Russell is in this movie.
We had Martin and Boaz on from the wonderful Film vs. Film podcast in the second part of our Crossover Extravaganza 2022. For the first part, go check out their episode on Vampire Films from April 8, 2022. It was a blast!
Martin's invitation inspired us to create this spinoff bonus series with other podcast people and friends to discuss their favorite horror films. Coming up we have discussions on the David Lynch films, FIRE WALK WITH ME, MULHOLLAND DRIVE and the Tim Burton animated classic, CORALINE.
We had a little audio bleed on this one, but on the upside, I found a nice little app called Type Studio, which looks like it will make editing faster and will provide a fairly serviceable transcript, to boot. Here that is:
https://app.typestudio.co/share/Oizc8PDleGPbz5F2FIFt
Please get in touch with your thoughts on THE THING and on your favorite horror flicks. Also please stay tuned for our main episodes on Animal Attack horror films, BOAR & TREMORS and Creepy Kids movies, THE ORPHAN & GOODNIGHT, MOMMY coming up in the next few weeks.
WoHos! Your support means the World of Horror to us, truly. If you like what we are doing, please spread the word about the pod.
A warm welcome to our new listeners in Sweden and Guatemala. Vi alskar er alla, Ga inte alla in i kallaren/ Nosotros te amamos No vayan todos al sotano!!

HELLBENDER & RAW: Episode 83 Bitter Sixteen (Coming of Age Movies!)

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

09/16/22 • 138 min

Send us a text

WoHos!
This week, Mac chose two movies that really demonstrate the idea that adolescence is hell: HELLBENDER from the US & RAW / GRAVE from France.
Both involve 16-year-old women who learn truths about their true nature. Good people get hurt. It's a whole thing.
Contents of the content
Mom & Mac Chat: Mac has job interviews, Mom gets REAL vaccinated, and Five Guys doesn't care about your nut allergy.
Mac's Watches from August: One-Piece / dishonorable mention: ALLEGORIA
Mom's Watches from August: CARNIVAL OF SOULS, PREY, THE INNOCENTS / Dishonorable Mention: THEY / THEM
Mom's Shoutouts: Film vs. Film podcast with Comfort Films Podcast (Stephen King adaptations), Your Mother Ate My Dog podcast, singer Madds Buckley
Mom talks RAW
Mac talks HELLBENDER
Some questions remain, of course. How do you think lying to your kid is a good thing? If all your friends ate a rabbit kidney, would you eat one, too? How problematic is the portrayal of Justine's gay roommate? Out of Mom & Mac, which host shares a birthday month and year with Toby Poser?
Coming up:
Mom's Picks--A Woman Obsessed movies: MISERY from the US and SYMPATHY for LADY VENGEANCE from South Korea
Mac's Picks--60's / 70's Creature Features--THE CREEPING FLESH from the UK & 100 MONSTERS from Japan
Apologies to Theo Germaine, who uses they / them pronouns. I kept calling them him.

ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968) Episode 67: It Means the World of Horror to Me™ Bonus

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

05/02/22 • 63 min

Send us a text

WoHo's!
It's a special It Means the World of Horror to Me episode!
Original Friend of the ShowTM, Quinn was nice enough to come by with one of her favorite horror films: ROSEMARY'S BABY from 1968. We spoil the hell out of it, as per, so if you don't want it spoiled, have a watch or rewatch before you listen.
We are both such fans of the cinematography, the performances, the suspense and creep factors built on a toxic marriage, and the already tenuous proposition of pregnancy! What say you, is pregnancy magical or is it horrifying?
Some other topics covered: The Pollening that occurs this time of year in NC, Sidney Blackmer's connection to our home state, smoking on the Dick Cavett show, dream sequences, ovulation cycles, the abandonment of the Hays Code, and who is the obvious winner of the YOU FOOL award for ROSEMARY's BABY.
Coming up next on the main is Creepy Kid films. We will cover THE ORPHAN from the US and GOODNIGHT, MOMMY, which I almost could not finish the first time I watched it!
WoHos, please get in touch and remember:
We love you and
DON'T go into the basement!

THE HOST (2006) & PARASITE (2019): Episode 97: Mom's Picks: Song Kang-ho movies

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

02/17/23 • 160 min

Send us a text

WoHos!
This week, it was Mom's picks and Mom chose movies featuring acting legend, Song Kang-ho. We talked a whole lot about THE HOST (2006) & PARASITE, from Director Bong Joon-ho.
Mom & Mac Talk: Lawn Talk, Hair talk with the Hares, Mom and Tina Turner, Mac's toxic friend group in college, why we are not friends with people we were friends with in college, CDs vs. Spotify
Mac Talks The Host (2006)
Tangents include: The new problematic Harry Potter game and J.K. Rowling's transphobia, Anti-LGBTQ Bills, Obsession for living in a Post-Apocalyptic world,
Mom Talks Parasite
Tangents include: Dealing with telemarketers, Mom's rewatch of "Lodge 49"
Notes: Apologies to Hangulphones. I know I mangled the names mercilessly. Also, I mispronounced the bottom-dwelling husband's name, Geun-sae as Ge-un a few times. I also realize that wives do not take husbands' names in South Korea so "Mrs. Kim" & "Mrs. Park" are just used as short-hand.
Stuff we mentioned:
Neil Brennan on ride-alongs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dec_Hx9quiw
Vanity Fair: 'Parasite' director Bong Joon-ho breaks down the opening scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP-eqx2X9AY
Coming up on the main show, we will be looking at films involving dementia: THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN & RELIC. And Q-balls, it is time to celebrate because Quinn McLaughlin will be joining me on the next QuinnisodeTM to discuss THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (1962).

SHAUN OF THE DEAD & ONE CUT OF THE DEAD Episode 57: Zed's Dead, Baby! (Zombies!)

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

02/14/22 • 63 min

Send us a text

WoHo's!
Mac's genre pick this week was zombies and we watched two zombie comedies: ONE CUT OF THE DEAD from Japan & SHAUN OF THE DEAD from the UK.
Zombies in both films function as a wake up call to our main characters and both films are examples of labors of love. Check them out or check them out again!
We were having so much fun discussing SHAUN OF THE DEAD that we forgot to rate it, but I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Mac would give it 5/5 cricket bats. That makes two 5/5ers this show. You're welcome!
A very happy 52nd birthday to "friend of the show" Simon Pegg.
We have two minis coming up which will serve as the meat in the podcast mains sandwich. That metaphor needs work. What I mean is, before the next main, which will be out in two weeks, Mom and Mac will review David Cronenberg's sophomore effort, RABID and Mom is going solo to cover Mario Bava's SHOCK. This is Mom's pet project to fill in her own gaps in horror knowledge and to, with hope, connect to some academic types to discuss foundational horror. If you are one such type, or you would like to recommend someone, please get in touch!
On the next main, Mom is highlighting Haunted Houses and we will review BEETLEJUICE from the US and THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME (2013) from Venezuela.
Thanks so much for all your support, WoHos!
We love you.
DON'T go into the basement.

Send us a text

WoHo's!
SUMMARY
What do you call this genre of horror? Supernatural teens? Puberty pandemonium? Menarche Mayhem (at least in one case)? Parent's (REALLY) Just Don't Understand?
We learn this week that (A) you sure 'nuff can't keep 'em down on the farm and (B) when that "old time" religion is cast aside in favor of the oldest of religions, things get a little crazy in the best possible way!
We discuss THELMA from Norway and CARRIE (1976) from the US.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mom's shout outs this week: Nada Que Ver, Los Criticos y el Sillon Perdido & Brain Ladle Trivia podcasts
Mac's shout out: Nier: Nearautomata, Ari Aster's shorts on Shudder
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
If you would like to participate in a podcast ad swap, please get in touch! We promote your podcast and you promote World of Horror on yours!
Some very exciting guests are coming up. Stay tuned! Would YOU like to guest with us? Please get in touch. We can talk your favorite (or favorite three) horror movies, foundational international horror movies, the history of horror, the philosophy of horror or what have you. I think I want a dog trainer when we do werewolf films (not kidding) and we're always up for talking to filmmakers, horror story writers, other podcasters, academic types, horror fans and our WoHos!!
Once Mom is finished with Spring semester at the end of this month, some minis will be populating your feed--15-40 minute bonus eps on International Horror Films. Got a favorite? Get in touch.

Follow us. Mr. Joachim Trier is!
COMING SOON
Later this month, we are going to host Martin Harries and Boaz Dicks from Film vs Film Podcast to talk about THE THING. Not international, you say? Well, they are English, so it's international to THEM. Don't like that explanation? How about this one: It's okay to break the rules, especially if you make them!
After that, Mac's choice is Animal Attack Films and we will be reunited with our true love (?) John Jarratt when we review BOAR from Australia and TREMORS from the US.
Mom's next genre pick after THAT is Creepy Kids! We will be looking at ORPHAN from the US and GOODNIGHT MOMMY from Germany.
Remember: We love you, WoHos! DON'T go into the basement!!
