Lena, Maria und Darius besprechen den Cannes-Abräumer und Deutschen Oscarbeitrag "In Die Sonne Schauen" von Mascha Schillinski. Klar, das ist Kunst mir großem K. Doch was steckt unter der sperrigen Oberfläche des Films? Es geht um Gothic-Horror, komplizierte Erzählweisen, Tumbl und die Frage, wie lange man tatsächlich in die Sonne schauen sollte.

Dark academia reads gorgeously on the page—but stumbles on screen. In this episode, we unpack the big reasons: the aesthetic-over-story trap, elite settings that limit relatability and diversity, and the reality that streamers cancel fast and world-build slow. We use “Wednesday,” “The Order,” and our beloved Poe-soaked, gothic campus imagery to ask: is the genre “unfilmable”… or just misunderstood? We also float a fix—adult animation—plus how fandom pressure and multi-book epics make accuracy impossible without killing character depth. We cover:Why the vibe can eclipse plot (and how that nukes character empathy).Elitism, scholarship kids, and why viewers bounce off “pretentious” casts.Streamer economics: fast cancellations vs. slow-burn worldbuilding.“Wednesday” S2 hype (and that cameo) vs. book-to-screen pipelines.The bold idea: make dark-academia animation for adult audiences.

Cultists, continuing with the Sinners theme. Another one of the film's often cited influences was Stephen King's Salem's Lot. Adapted as a two part TV movie by Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, this Gothic Horror throwback scarred the Gen X kids that grew up with it on television, and gave us one of the ‘70s most iconic vampires the Nosferatu-esque Kurt Barlow.

Both Dan's stories seem to present exceptionally strong evidence for life after death. The first comes from the state of Illinois and is the exceptionally strange late 19th century tale of the Watseka Wonder.  Then his second story takes us back to the early 18th century to Canterbury, England. Did famed English author Daniel Defoe write  the first based-on-a-true story ghost encounter claim? Lynze begins the back half of the show with a creepy encounter with a shadowy figure inside of the mind of someone playing a game. Then, we are off to New Orleans where we hear about two fans strange stay in a French Quarter hotel. Monthly Patreon Donation: This months charitable donation is going to Ignite Adaptive Sports. Ignite Adaptive Sports mission is to provide snow sport opportunities to people with disabilities. They believe that everyone should be able to enjoy winter sports, regardless of skill or ability level. We are a volunteer based organization that provide snow sport lessons to athletes with disabilities out of Eldora Mountain Resort.  In 2024, 320 volunteers gave 22,390 hours of their time to provide 1,690 snowsports lessons to 459 athletes. Ignite Adaptive Sports provides sit skiing lessons, cross country and snowshoe lessons, downhill skiing, snowboarding and ski biking lessons. They rely on grants, donations, an annual fundraising gala, and our host mountain Eldora to be able to provide this much needed service. Dan and Lynze had the pleasure of meeting Sam Brady who works with this great non profit. Sam shared with us that Ignite Adaptive Sports is run by almost all volunteers with only 2 paid staff members. They typically receive funding for disabled veterans to be able to receive lessons  at no cost to them. However, this year,  due to budget cuts in the DEI space, it's not looking good. Sam asked if we'd be interested in supporting this cause and supporting disabled people, especially disabled veterans. We sent $11,600 over to them and put another $1250 into the scholarship fund!

Gothic Horror

Date: June 29, 2025Players: Sean D. (Sören Ironwood – Aasimar Paladin), Chris (Radley – Human Fighter), Carey (Traxidor – Half-Elf Cleric), Trip (Daermon Cobain – Half-Elf Rogue)Filed Under: Curse of Strahd, Gothic Horror, D&D RecapsTwelve days in Barovia and each dawn feels like dusk. At the Blue Water Inn, a messenger arrived with a letter sealed in wax — Strahd von Zarovich's invitation to dine at Castle Ravenloft. Radley, their sardonic Eldritch Knight, joked about wine with the Devil. Traxidor, cleric and conscience, argued no. Sören, the Aasimar Paladin, nearly growled at the thought of bowing to Strahd's civility. Daermon Cobain, rogue and blade, said little — his coin flicking through the shadows.They refused. There would be no supper with monsters — not yet.Morning brought nails hammering declarations into timber. Lady Fiona Wachter now called herself Burgomaster of Vallaki by the will of the mob that strung up the old Baron. Her orders stripped the last hope from the town: worship of the Morning Lord forbidden, a curfew enforced, all must bow to her Reeve. And every young woman? Inducted into her “Society of Vallaki's Maidens” — loyalty by marriage or worse.They walked the scorched town to the crackle of funeral pyres, then turned into Blinsky's Toys, where horrors wore porcelain smiles. Gadof Blinsky, a jester with a monkey named Piccolo, sang his eerie line: “Is no fun, is no Blinsky!” They found a doll identical to Ireena Kolyana — Strahd's stolen love. Blinsky confessed he made dozens for Izek Strazni, the Baron's monstrous enforcer, who always wanted more. The party left with the doll and an unease that clung like a damp shroud.At the looted manor, they found the Baron's son Victor's hidden attic lab. The door's Glyph of Warding nearly dropped Sören, but inside they found more grim trophies: animated cat skeletons, mannequins facing the wall, and a broken teleportation circle — an escape gone wrong. A dead end — yet the footprints in the scorch marks said someone had tried.Next, they dug up Miloj's grave and learned the bones of Saint Andral had been sold to Henrik van der Voort. At his coffin shop, they found the crates cracked open, dirt scattered — and Henrik himself, torn to ribbons, his entrails smeared across the walls and ceiling. They cut off his head like a butcher dressing a pig and took it as proof, though no bones remained.At dawn, they rode with the Martikovs' wine wagon to Krezk. Sören, ever devout but unhinged, flayed the flesh from Henrik's skull on the road. The Martikovs threatened to dump the barrels if the barbarity didn't stop — until three peasants begged for silver to fight werewolves. In moments, they revealed their fur and fangs. The Martikovs fled with the wine, yelling for the party to run. But the adventurers stood their ground: blades flashed, holy power sparked, and two beasts fell before the last vanished into the mists.Saint Andral's bones are lost. Lady Wachter rules in Strahd's name. The Count's invitation still waits on a table set for guests who haven't yet come. And the mists? They watch everything.Subscribe to follow every step deeper into Barovia's throat.

Brocarde is the creator of an enchanting world where dark, haunting aesthetics meet passion-fuelled lyrics and design. Her latest single "Identity Theft" was produced by Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars). Brocarde is a dynamic storyteller who marries both music and fashion in an orchestral explosion, designed to make the ears and eyes bleed. A one-woman horror story, if centuries aligned, Brocarde could almost be the secret lovechild of Edgar Allan Poe and Sylvia Plath. In what could only be described as an effervescent melting pot, Brocarde's bubbling cauldron is peppered with hints of Little House on The Prairie, and seasoned with remnants of the Addams family values: she's an all-consuming artist who's not for the faint-hearted. Brocarde arrived on the music scene in 2019 presenting her debut single Last Supper. With its biblical relatability and an army of sinister pigs, the music video depicted a twisted fairy tale that whetted the appetite of her loyal supporters. She was hailed as "One to Watch" by Planet Rock Magazine, and secured airplay on Kerrang!, Planet Rock and BBC Introducing.  www.Instagram.com/brocarde website www.Brocarde.com  About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

Send us a textGothic horror from Italian master, Mario Bava! A small village is cursed by the ghost of a young child, who just so happens to be causing a number of deaths. Operazione Paura, Operation Fear, Die toten Augen des Dr. Dracula, Curse of the Living Dead, Don't Walk in the Park? None of those titles feel like a good fit for this movie, and neither does Kill, Baby...Kill! (1966), but I guess we'll just go with that one.

Valentine's Day is supposed to be about love, but leave it to Hollywood to remind us that sometimes your girl gets snatched up by a 500-year-old vampire with a hairline worse than LeBron in 2014. That's right—we're sinking our teeth into Nosferatu (2024), the latest reimagining of the silent horror classic, where the only thing scarier than the bloodsucking is how fast your woman will leave you for a dude rocking a medieval cape. You already know the TruVue Podcast crew had to bring that barbershop energy to the box office, and let's just say we had thoughts on this one. From shadowy corridors to seductive stares, Nosferatu takes romance to a toxic, undead level, proving that no man is safe when a vampire with 500 years of game pulls up. And speaking of legendary cinematic moments, I had to bring up one of my own—yep, my old music video got a mention in this episode.
