What happens when women bring traditional folklore into the horror genre and subvert it? You get award-winning feature length films, Iranian vampires and Mayan werewolves to name a few examples. Ella Al-Shamahi is joined by Iranian-American filmmaker Ana Lily Amirpour and Mexican filmmaker Gigi Saul Guerrero to discuss how to create horror on screen.Ana Lily Amirpour's award-winning debut feature film, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, is a Persian-language Western-horror. It follows a skateboarding vampire who wears a chador and haunts the fictional Iranian ghost-town of Bad City. Feminist readings have interpreted the vampire as a vigilante who preys on men that disrespect women. Ana's later films have included big stars such as Kate Hudson, Suki Waterhouse, Jason Momoa and Keanu Reeves.Gigi Saul Guerrero is known by fans as La Muñeca Del Terror, which means The Horror Babe. She gained recognition for La Quinceañera, a horror series based on the Mexican traditional celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday. Her film Culture Shock follows a Mexican woman who crosses the border into the US in hope of finding the American dream. What she finds instead is an American nightmare. Gigi's work often draws from Mesoamerican folklore and Mexican tradition. Producer: Elena Angelides(Image: Gigi Saul Guerrero. Credit: Luchagore Productions. And Ana Lily Amirpour.

We're FINALLY back, and BADder than ever, with BAD CITY! Maybe our favorite martial arts film of 2023 (and definitely the most underrated), this tale of Yakuza vs cops has all the makings of an action classic. Gritty, grizzled detectives who punch and kick their way to justice? Check✅ Evil crime lords who savagely kill anyone in their way? Check✅ Bone crunching fight scenes including a 15+ minute martial arts finale!? DOUBLE CHECK!!!! ✅✅Listen in as we share why we enjoyed this movie so much, why the martial arts sequences are so good, and why star Hitoshi Ozawa needs to be in more movies!!! Don't forget to subscribe, download, like, and share with your friends! You can currently view Bad City on Prime, Tubi and the Hi-yah app! Thanks again for the continued support and we hope you enjoy!

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

Mark joins Adam in studio and they kick off the show discussing a lawsuit from Brown Rudnick involving the parent company of PornHub and how Visa is in their crosshairs as well. Adam also shares a particularly harsh burn he suffered at Sonny's hands and shares his experience performing with Blues Traveler. The conversation then turns to new book out from an LA Times on which Mark has strong negative thoughts and Adam gets an update on the Tinhorn Flats situation. As the show wraps up Adam & Mark get very fired up about the lawlessness plaguing Los Angeles.
