In Part 2/2 in our exploration of post-9/11 horror and how the wake of a national tragedy twisted our films, we turn to J.J Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Drew Goddard. CLOVERFIELD (2008) is a found footage giant monster movie that implores imagery from the terrorist attack and a group attempt to survive in a ravaged New York City. Joined again by Austin Torres (Would You Die? Podcast, Spider short film), we talk about healing through validation vs escapism, the depiction of the military, and of course compare it all back to RED EYE (2005) from last episode.

Riding a plane alongside dreamy-eyed Cillian Murphy may seem like a typical rom-com set-up, but it's 2005 and you can't trust anyone. The Dogs are joined by fellow podcaster/filmmaker Austin Torres (Would You Die? Podcast, Spider short film) to soar through the paranoia and patriotism that followed 9/11, and horror legend Wes Craven just so happened to direct this Rachel McAdams thriller, RED EYE (2005).

Revenge is a dish best served bloody, hanged, and run over with a motorboat. The Dogs are joined by friend of the pod Chloé Harper Gold (writer, critic) for their analysis of the always controversial horror sub-genre of rape revenge. Starting off with the original I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE: is this an exploitation movie or could this actually be a feminist film masquerading as one?

Have you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party? This month, we're joined by director Jeremiah Kipp (Slapface, The Geechee Witch), to discuss the great red menace which must be extinguished by any means necessary! 1950s Americana is met with an existential threat in the form of shapeshifting aliens which mean to replace our way of life, our entire way of thinking, in the original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956), directed by Don Siegel. But is this threat really a metaphor for Communism, or is it meant to represent Senator Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare? Perhaps the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, or at least that's somewhat the stance of our second film, THE BLOB (1988), directed by Chuck Russell, itself a remake of another 1950s Cold War metaphor. Of course, this is the 80s, and so Reagan is bound to come up a few times. From the early days of the Cold War to the final days, how has America's shifting views of the Soviet Union affected the media we create? Is the greater threat an invading force, or is the call coming from inside the house? Let's dig into the glorious sci-fi horror, mutts! 00:03:52 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers 00:38:01 - The Blob 00:56:04 - Comparisons 01:08:27 - Bone Reviews Follow us at:  instagram.com/cadaverdogspod twitter.com/cadaverdogspod tiktok.com/@cadaverdogspod .

Ah, the American Dream: a suburban home with a white picket fence, green grass, and the perfect nuclear family. Until… ding dong! It's the boogeyman! Filmmaker Emily Bennett (Alone With You) joins David and Devin to discuss false utopias, the repercussions of repression, and why you should always face your fears.

This month, we're joined by Joseph Hernandez, actor and festival programmer at Brooklyn Horror Film Festival and South By Southwest, to discuss the blurry lines between familial obligation and unhealthy codependent relationships. Do you like vampires? We do. But this isn't your old school Hollywood Dracula, as Thomas' nosferatitus is treated as a serious illness and strain on his siblings who now must murder on his behalf, in Jonathan Cuartas' MY HEART CAN'T BEAT UNLESS YOU TELL IT TO (2020). Meanwhile, some hundred years prior and in the middle of the Spanish flu epidemic of World War I, Pearl finds herself trapped on her family farm and longing to be a star. But it's not about what she wants: it's about making the best of what she has. Mia Goth leads the Ti West-directed PEARL (2022). Are these relationships abuse? Is there hope for our protagonists to break free? When is it okay to let a family member go? What's with Joe's Jigsaw impression?

Not for the ”feeble-minded!” This month, David and Devin are joined by writer/film critic Tori Potenza to talk about basically everything that's horrible in America: systemic racism and white privilege. “Should we eugenics?” is a question posed when analyzing ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1932), adapted from an H.G. Wells classic and notoriously banned when the Hays Code took effect. We hope for a more cheery analysis with the 2019 film US, written and directed by Jordan Peele, but find more of the same old systemic racism bullsh**.

The trio cover hidden Canadian gem DEAD END (2003) and Michael Dougherty's KRAMPUS (2015).

Happy Halloween!! Spooky Season 2023 has ended… which means Spooky Season 2024 is officially underway, and David and Devin are celebrating with two classic ghost stories: THE INNOCENTS (1961), directed by Jack Clayton, and THE HAUNTING (1963), directed by Robert Wise. Adapting two famous works of literature (Henry James' The Turning of the Screw and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, respectively), the black-and-white films have their female protagonists arrive at gorgeous old Victorian manors… and encounter ghosts? We have much to talk about: from queer-coding, to second-wave feminism, to ambiguous endings, to the very definition of Gothic horror.

We're baaaaaaack!! The Cadaver Dogs return, joined by Allison Broder of the Who's There? Podcast, with a brand new episode on the horrors of aging and dementia. We'll first dive into the popular found footage film THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN (2014), directed by Adam Robitel. College student Mia is making a documentary on Alzheimer's, and Deborah Logan and her daughter invite Mia to feature them as her main subjects. But what happens when Deborah's condition takes a turn for the supernatural? On the other side of the world, three generations of women come together when the oldest's mind begins to unravel in the Australian movie RELIC (2020), directed by Natalie Erika James.

David and Devin review the latest installment of the Insidious franchise! First half spoiler-free. Ten years after the events of the first two Insidious films, we revisit the Lambert family. In an attempt to preserve their mental well-being, Dalton and his father have been made to forget the trauma they experienced. But is that really for the best, or does it simply leave them helpless when the door to the Further is opened once again? INSIDIOUS: THE RED DOOR is now playing in theaters, starring Patrick Wilson and Ty Simpkins, directed by Patrick Wilson. . 6:37 - Spoiler-Free Reviews 15:09 - Bone Reviews 16:20 - Insidious Franchise Rankings 24:28 - Full Reviews .

Hot takes incoming! David and Devin begin this month's discussion with John Carpenter's Stephen King adaptation CHRISTINE (1983). Classic nerd Arnie Cunningham has a killer new car - emphasis on “killer.” But when the self-driving self-healing automobile goes on a murderous rampage, and Arnie changes into a real jerk, are we sure it's all Christine's responsibility? Or has our geeky hero been hiding a darkness, a darkness which he is now embracing as he reaches maturity? Then, we'll switch gears and decades to Lynn Ramsay's disturbing psychological character study WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (2011), starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly. Eva has raised a monster: her teenage son Kevin has murdered his classmates with a bow and arrow, and in the aftermath she recollects on his childhood. Was he always like this, or did she fail him as a mother? What motivated Kevin to shoot up his school?

Sup Vagasil? School's out for the millennium, and everyone is possessed. Demons and aliens run amok in the Dogs' After School Special where the possession metaphor is used to describe the hell that is being a teen.

Move over Ant-Man: David and Rob are discussing the original shrinking Scott, of THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957). In director Jack Arnold and writer Richard Matheson's scifi classic, a man exposed to stray radiation begins to steadily shrink, as his humanity is stripped away layer by layer. What makes a man, a man? We're talking emasculation and the artificiality of the American Dream. Meanwhile, jumping across the Pacific, GODZILLA (1954, a.k.a. GOJIRA) uses its kaiju to directly comment on the atomic bomb and its fallout. The Cadaver Dogs want to see how both America and Japan evolved and responded to the devastation that followed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The climactic ending of World War II changed the world forever… and unleashed a giant nuclear lizard monster upon Tokyo. 0:06:38 - The Incredible Shrinking Man 0:27:10 - Godzilla 0:46:04 - Comparisons 1:01:39 - Bone Reviews Up Next: HOUSE (1977) / HOUSE (1985) Follow us at:  instagram.com/cadaverdogspod twitter.com/cadaverdogspod facebook.com/cadaverdogspod . “Revisiting THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN,” by Maria Tatar blogs.harvard.edu/tatar/2022/11/05/revisiting-the-incredible-shrinking-man-and-it-still-holds-up-after-65-years/ “The Incredible Shrinking Man Saw Beyond the Material Facade of Post-War Prosperity,” by Dan Persons tor.com/2021/09/15/the-incredible-shrinking-man-saw-beyond-the-material-facade-of-post-war-prosperity/ “How American Occupation Changed Japanese Culture,” by The Cold War youtu.be/olR9sOeR8oQ .

The Mother Shelley of all questions: who is the monster - the creature or the man who made them? Or, in this episode, who is the barbarian and who is the muse??  Looking back at two top films from the past year, the Cadaver Dogs examine how the post #metoo era is presented in horror… through a male perspective. Travis Stevens' artistic film A WOUNDED FAWN (starring Josh Ruben of Werewolves Within and Scare Me) sends us to a time when the Furies were feared by all and muses used their sexuality to inspire artists. We analyze the presence of ancient myths today, focusing in on the #MeToo movement with men's abuse of female artists, how the women reclaimed their power, and how the men are adjusting. Then, join us down in the tunnels for BARBARIAN (starring scream kings Bill Skarsgaard and Justin Long). Down here, we have cancel culture, Frankenstein's monster, male fragility, and false redemption. All-in-all, what we really ask is: do male filmmakers have a right to tell these stories now? And, what do they mean? At Cadaver Dogs, we ask the hard questions and have the hard conversations, but it's all fun down here - we have cookies!

Are you really going to re-use those needles? That's the question we ask in this episode of Cadaver Dogs podcast where we cover not one but two reboots of classic horror franchises. First up, EVIL DEAD (2013), the Fede Alvarez remake of the Sam Raimi Classic. Does the classic cabin turned demon rehab hold up to the original violent entry? Second, we chain ourselves up for HELLRAISER (2022), the 11th entry and newest reboot of the Clive Barker series. Do these reboots do justice to these 80s classics? Hellraiser compares the pain of drug addiction to the highest highs of sensual sensation, and Evil Dead revisits possession using the metaphor of the overpowering effects of substance abuse.

The power of Christ compels you! To celebrate the holidays, the Cadaver Dogs have a conversation about God… or rather, about a couple of horror films that are quite sold on “God is real.” THE EXORCIST (1973) is one of the most acclaimed movies in the genre, but does the plot basically boil down to an embrace of Catholic ideologies, or is there something deeper? As a film in the 70s, we will also bring in the Satanic Panic, as well as first wave feminism and how all these stray concepts interact. THE CONJURING (2013) doubles down on those religious themes, and even claims to be based on a true story, a claim we will most definitely be dissecting. The word “propaganda” may get thrown around, but do these movies qualify as propaganda? What does that even mean?

A curse on you and your family! JK JK That'd be pretty terrible wouldn't it?  This month, the Cadaver Dogs explore two films dealing with ancient curses in which main characters trade their humanity - or lose it - and become a beast of vengeance! Starting way back to the classic Universal horror movie that started Hollywood's love for werewolves with THE WOLF MAN (1941, dr. George Waggner). David, Devin, and Rob look at how WWII influenced the tragic figure of Larry Talbot and dig into the history of the Romani people. We also gawk at the stars that pack this film: Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, AND Claude Raines?? Then, fast forward to the f*ed up 80s with creature feature (or slasher?) PUMPKINHEAD (1988, dir. Stan Winston). No Reagan talk this time, but we do touch on the Rust Belt. Do we find curses more tragic or vilifying? How are they a source of “othering” in horror? And why are werewolves so damn awesome!?   03:49 - Carrie 30:30: - The Exorcism of Emily Rose 57:05 - Comparisons 1:05:55 - Bone Reviews . Up Next: GET OUT (2017) /  THE SKELETON KEY (2005) .

ANNOUNCEMENT: We have been nominated for “Best Film/TV Podcast” at Paranormality Mag! This is voted on by the public, so we'd really appreciate if y'all could take a moment to vote below. Thanks mutts! paranormalitymag.com/2022-paranormality-podcast-awards-voting/ . Back to where it all began… Camp Crystal Lake, otherwise known as Camp Blood. This is FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980). Slasher films are often discussed as a genre, but in 80s America they were also a movement, a response to the politics of the day. That's right, we're talking Ronald Reagan! Sex is sin, and teens who reject abstinence and fail to “say no to drugs” are the perfect victims for the Voorhees family. Then, we're jumping ahead to remove the slasher from this context and see how those themes and tropes change. Ti West's X (2022) is a newer film, but one we're already excited to dig our paws into! Releasing this just ahead of the release of X's prequel PEARL means we can examine the film unaffected by however the next film may change our interpretations. 0:08:11 - Friday the 13th 0:30:58 - X 0:49:45 - Comparisons 1:04:35 - Bone Reviews Up Next: THE WOLF MAN (1941) / PUMPKINHEAD (1988) Follow us at:  instagram.com/cadaverdogspod twitter.com/cadaverdogspod facebook.com/cadaverdogspod .
