¡Bienvenidos a la Academia de los Nocturnos! Esta semana, nos sumergimos en el inquietante universo del cine de suspense, terror y fantasmas, explorando esas obras que consiguen helar la columna vertebral solo con una presencia, un susurro o una sombra. Descubrimos con Francisco Javier Millán cómo el suspense se construye sin necesidad de efectos visuales. Te invitamos a revivir este viaje por el cine que nos obliga a cuestionar la frontera entre lo real y lo invisible… Y esta noche, en "Caminando entre Monstruos" Javier Resines se centra en la vida y el legado de Miguel Joaquín Eleicegui, más conocido como el Gigante de Altzo. Este personaje histórico padecía de gigantismo y, como era común en el siglo XIX, fue exhibido a lo largo de Europa por un empresario, un destino lleno de dramatismo y tristeza. La biografía del gigante se sitúa en el contexto de los controvertidos "fenómenos" o freak shows de la época, comparándolo con otros casos españoles que sufrieron explotación similar debido a sus condiciones físicas. Sed bienvenidos y bienvenidas.

The lights are hot, the synths are humming, and the 80s Movie Bracket has reached its glorious endgame. Rob, Dave, and Kurt throw open the studio doors and welcome two heavy hitters of nostalgia, Jim from Children of the 80s and Giff from Pop Culture Yearbook, to help settle an argument that has echoed since VHS rewinds were a workout. Four mighty brackets, Action, Comedy, Sports, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy, have battled through montages, one-liners, and slow-motion triumphs, leaving eight titans standing. This is not a debate, it's a cinematic steel cage match where reputations are on the line and John Williams-level drama hangs in the air. On the final card, Back to the Future squares off against Ghostbusters in a clash of flux capacitors and proton packs, while Die Hard and Predator bring bare-knuckle bravado to the action corner. Comedy sends Coming to America and Three Amigos to the front lines armed with royal swagger and accidental heroics, and sports delivers pure heart with Hoosiers versus The Karate Kid, a battle of gym floors and crane kicks. With Jim and Giff in the mix, every vote carries the weight of mixtapes, sleepovers, and movie posters taped to bedroom walls. One film will rise above them all, crowned the greatest 80s movie of all time, while the rest take a bow to thunderous applause and a perfectly timed guitar riff Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall
