Listeners, you either die a normal film podcast, or live long enough to see your show completely devolve into a Christopher Nolan marathon. Between Heath Ledger's legendary turn as the Joker, Nolan's transformation into an IMAX-first director, and the coolest truck crash in cinema history, there's so much to explore in this sprawling behemoth of a picture. We went for nearly four hours on this one, and could easily do another four. THE DARK KNIGHT is (still!) just that good!!

Send us a Question!PARTY PLEASER: Shirleon joins Melvin to summarize a late-90s retelling-with-a-twist adaptation of a beloved fairytale: Snow White: A Tale of Terror! From its surprisingly nuanced characters to its downright diabolical antagonist, the two enjoy discussing the horrific ins-and-outs of this late-20th century oddity! Topics:The opening tone-setter for Snow White: A Tale of Terror really sells the atmosphere of dark fantasy.Interestingly, the opening dynamic between Claudia, the "Evil Queen" equivalent, and Lilli, the "Snow White" equivalent, is more of Claudia seeking a good relationship with Lilli while Lilli acts consistently bratty.Once the movie goes grimdark, it doesn't stop topping itself with bizarre dark fantasy ideas.Discussing why they think classic fairytale villains, Disney or otherwise, are so compelling.The film is undeniably a horror film, but it's largely psychological with some horror-lite sequences.The "Seven Dwarves" equivalent are essentially Highwaymen, and each one has some form of physical deformity or ailment which contrasts with Claudia's unabashed vanity.The whole "catatonic Snow White" sequence that the fairytale is famous for starts and ends near immediately.The film is loaded with "show don't tell", but sometimes it's to a fault.Recommendations:Fairest of All by Serena Valentino (2009) (Book)Mirror, Mirror by Jen Calonia (2019) (Book)Event Horizon (1997) (Movie) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

In the chilling third episode of SAMAY, the atmospheric dark fantasy film noir hindi horror story from Bhay Originals, Dr. Atharv plunges deeper into the terrifying consequences of his actions. The very fabric of reality unravels around him as he navigates a nightmarish, shifting landscape born from the distorted timelines created by the yantra clock.Forced onto a ghostly, unsettling bus journey, Atharv arrives not in the Delhi he remembers, but in विकृत दिल्ली (Vikrit Delhi) – a city warped into a horrifying film noir reflection, filled with unsettling anomalies and shadowed figures. His desperate search for understanding leads him through the decaying corridors of an abandoned hospital, a place echoing with temporal disturbances and the trapped souls of the past.Within this atmospheric ruin, Atharv discovers the fragmented journal of Dr. Kapoor (कपूर की डायरी). Its pages contain a chilling account of the encroaching temporal chaos, disturbing experiments, and cryptic clues pointing towards "three tasks" – perhaps the only way to navigate the सुरागों का जाल (Web of Clues) and mend the fractured multiverse he unleashed.Can Atharv decipher the desperate warnings left by Dr. Kapoor before this distorted reality consumes him? The clock ticks ominously as he begins to understand the true cost of altering destiny.This suspenseful Hindi horror story continues SAMAY's journey into darkness. Perfect for fans of atmospheric sci-fi horror, psychological thrillers blended with dark fantasy, and Hindi audio dramas exploring complex mysteries.➡️ Watch SAMAY Episode 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itPbaZfHlro➡️ Watch the Full SAMAY Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itPbaZfHlro&list=PLdvJUnylV0qtCQBQz6GmHPc5Mrk2E9f0zWhat do you think the "three tasks" involve?

Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot. The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.There's a good chance you've never heard of Francis Stevens. But after today's story you will probably never forget her. She has been called “the woman who invented dark fantasy.” She was born Gertrude Mabel Barrows in Minneapolis Minnesota in 1883. Some say her middle name was Myrtle instead of Mabel but since the state of Minnesota and the county where she was born don't have birth records going back that far we will never know.She wrote her first short story at age 17, a science fiction story titled The Curious Experience of Thomas Dunbar. She mailed the story to Argosy. The story was accepted and published in the March 1904 issue, listing the author as "G. M. Barrows”. Although the initials disguised her gender, this appears to be the first instance of an American female author publishing science fiction, and using her real name. She had only seven short stories published and wrote five novels, with just two released during her lifetime.
