Thomasin and her family are doomed to find out whether or not the witch is real or not. Dr. David. D. Perlmutter and Julie Brannan join the episode to talk all about it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.
In this episode, Alex welcomes back regular guest Cole Costello for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with pop culture absurdities and quickly descends into the dark corners of modern horror. The two rank their favorite horror films of the 21st century, debate everything from Barbarian and Hereditary to The Lighthouse and The Hateful Eight, and explore why folk horror, psychological dread, and the unknown continue to captivate audiences. Along the way, they dive into Robert Eggers, Blood Meridian, and the timeless question: what actually makes something scary?

This event, known for showcasing the biggest upcoming films and industry trends, has provided a wealth of information that fans and filmmakers alike are buzzing about. They begin their discussion with a fascinating look at DC Studios' upcoming project, Clayface. This film, which is being heralded as a body horror masterpiece, is penned by the talented Mike Flanagan, who is known for his ability to weave horror elements with rich character development. The direction is in the capable hands of James Watkins, whose previous works have demonstrated a keen eye for atmospheric storytelling. The guys analyze what this unique take on the classic villain could mean for the DC cinematic universe, particularly in how it might explore themes of identity and transformation in a way that resonates with contemporary audiences.Following this, the conversation shifts to Christopher Nolan's much-anticipated film, The Odyssey. This project promises to be a visually stunning reinterpretation of the classic tale, featuring a pivotal scene that showcases the legendary Trojan Horse. The guys discuss Nolan's signature storytelling style and how it might bring new layers of depth to this ancient narrative, potentially blending historical elements with his trademark non-linear storytelling. They ponder on the implications of such a scene in the context of modern cinema and how it could influence audience perceptions of heroism and cunning.Next on the agenda is Robert Eggers' intriguing new film, Werwulf, which stars the dynamic duo of Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lilly-Rose Depp. The guys express their excitement about Eggers' unique vision, known for his meticulous attention to historical detail and atmospheric tension. They speculate on the film's premise and themes, considering how it might delve into folklore and mythology, potentially offering a fresh perspective on the werewolf legend. The chemistry between Taylor-Johnson and Depp is also a point of discussion, with the guys contemplating how their performances could elevate the film's narrative.As the episode progresses, the guys engage in a rapid-fire news segment that covers a plethora of upcoming projects that are generating buzz in the film community. They touch upon Evil Dead Burn, a new installment in the beloved horror franchise that promises to deliver the same thrills and chills that fans have come to expect. The conversation then shifts to Dune Part 3, where they discuss the potential for the continuation of Frank Herbert's epic saga and what it could mean for the characters and the expansive universe. They also touch on the intriguing title Avengers' Doomsday, speculating on how this new entry might reshape the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its heroes.Furthermore, the guys briefly discuss Digger, a project that has caught their attention, along with a new venture from J.J. Abrams that has yet to be fully unveiled. The anticipation surrounding Abrams' work is palpable, given his track record of creating compelling narratives that captivate audiences. Lastly, they wrap up the rapid-fire segment with a mention of Violent Night 2, a sequel that has fans eager to see how the story of Santa Claus in a violent showdown will unfold. Each of these topics fuels an engaging discussion, providing insights and predictions that keep listeners on the edge of their seats, eager for the cinematic experiences that await.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy
This is the final boarding call! The SITC submarine is departing port for one more journey 20,000 leagues under the sea. This time, the tentacular, mighty Poseidon of masculinity, King Triton, wields his whale dick, effectively blasting us with oozing gallons of salty sea. Creator of the Hyperreal Film Journal and critic, Ziah Grace, joins Torie below deck to dissect Robert Eggers's ferociously homoerotic, abrasively bleak masterpiece of cinematography, THE LIGHTHOUSE (2019). Starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattisson as one of the greatest “odd couples” to ever grace 35 mm, this claustrophobic meditation on Sartre's existential idiom “hell is other people,” is packed with alpha/beta power dynamics, a yonic/phallic(!!) lighthouse, perverted seagulls, and enough masturbation to generate a Sperm Whale's worth of ejaculate. These gents have No Exit, and, for one hour and 50 minutes, neither do you. Get ready for an onslaught of girthy tentacles, depressing orgasms, alcoholism, gaslighting galore, and man-on-mermaid action (alongside a very large, anatomically explicit mergina). Other highlights include Torie's Willem DaFetish and an inevitable discussion of the most fiercely gatekept piece of male anatomy ever to circulate the Hollywood rumor mill.
This week on The Broski Report, Fearless Leader Brittany Broski discusses chia seed pudding, discovers meditation, unpacks Robert Eggers's filmography, and holds an extended book club.

[14x9] Our penultimate Season XIV episode keeps the Dracula fanged fun coming, as we look at Luc Besson's 2025 version starring Caleb Landry Jones in the eponymous role as a romantic take on Bram Stoker's villainous character...

Happy 2026, Vintage Sand fans! Thank you for taking time away from looking for real estate opportunities in Greenland to join us for Episodes 65 and 66, our first of 2026. Herein, Team Vintage Sand returns one last time to the source of some of our most popular episodes: Danny Peary's hard-to-find 1993 classic "Alternate Oscars". In the past, we have used Peary's model to approach the Best Picture Academy Awards from every decade going back to the 1930's. Collect them all! For this episode, we wrap up this series with the most recent complete decade, the 2010's. First, a caveat: we began this podcast eight years ago, in the spring of 2018, which means that we have already discussed many of today's films in a number of different contexts already. We did our Best of the Teens in early 2020, and recently did our Top 10 of the Century so far, wherein many of the films we're talking about today are contained. Add in that we did episodes on the best of 2018 and 2019, respectively, in those years, and you get the sense that we have already covered this ground several times. But like all good film fans, we're completists, so we conclude this series of episodes with these two, which will focus on 2010 to 2014 and 2015 to 2019 respectively. Mercifully, perhaps, these episodes are shorter than most others we've done, simply because, as mentioned, this is terrain we have covered several times already. The teens were clearly a transitional time for film, especially in Hollywood. The foreign market came to dominate, as did the teen market, which led to a kind of lowest common denominator for American film in these years. Throw in the uncertainties created by the rise of streaming and the changes in where and how people watch film, and you have…well, it's still a little too early to tell what the 2010's will look like to film historians, if there are indeed any film historians left. That being said, it's clear that the decade featured some of the greatest films ever made, ones that will stand the test of time and will continue to be watched long into the future. In many ways, the Mexican New Wavers dominated the decade, winning half of the Best Director Oscars for the whole decade: Del Toro for "Shape of Water", Cuarón for "Gravity" and "Roma", and Iñárritu for "Birdman" and "The Revenant". And of course, the stunning triumph of "Parasite" ended a decade in film that many were ready to write off (and got rid of the bad taste left behind by "Green Book" the previous year). It was also a decade that saw the arrival of some wildly innovative and talented filmmakers, among them Chloe Zhao, Ryan Coogler, Ava Duvernay, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, Steve McQueen, and Damien Chazelle, plus amazing directors who transcended often marginalized genres like Ari Aster, Alex Garland, Robert Eggers and Denis Villeneuve. We also saw some great works from directors who came of age in the 90's and early 00's like David Fincher, the Coens, Spike Lee, Christopher Nolan, Todd Haynes and the Andersons, both Wes and PTA divisions. And for the icing on the cake, we got some brilliant work from the old guard Hollywood New Wavers like Martin Scorsese (who just seemed to pick up steam as the decade went on), Steven Spielberg, (at least with "Lincoln"), Terrence Malick and, most surprisingly, Paul Schrader. So make yourselves comfortable, have yourselves one of those lovely pastries from Mendl's, and join us for our final foray into the world of Best Picture Alternate Oscars!

Joining us for the conversation is Hammer Time podcast co-host Becky Darke!Join us as we marvel at all of the research Eggers did to ensure maximum authenticity, crafting a period film thats as scary as it is stomach-churning. That it all ends in a (somewhat debatable) "good for her" ending is just the icing on the cake.

This week, Ahsohn and Derek are talking about the movies they watched during spooky season, a new TV series about MK Ultra from the creator of The Sopranos, and MORE! Check it out whereber you get your pods!
For their final witch flick, Matt and Eric deliciously tackle Robert Eggers' (and Anya Taylor-Joy's) debut film, THE WITCH. Yup, let's all feel repulsed, unsettled, and generally miserable. It's a good time!
"Professor, my dreams grow darker. Does evil come from within us, or from beyond?" We watched a double feature of the original "Nosferatu" from 1922, directed by F.W. Murnau, and the most recent version, "Nosferatu" from 2024, directed by Robert Eggers, and we may need to sleep with the lights on. The original "Nosferatu" is the archetype for not only modern vampire movies but for horror movies in general. Count Orlok, as portrayed by Max Schreck (yes, it's his real name), is so iconic that it's become part of vampire lore. The Eggers film took this century-old material and made it so spooky, so creepy, and so modern that it's sure to endure for just as long. Lily-Rose Depp is a revelation as Ellen Hutter, and Billy Skarsgård is securing himself on the Mount Rushmore of modern horror. Nicholas Hoult and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are easy on the eyes, but the grotesque, eerie performances by Depp and Skarsgård seal the deal.

It's Halloween, so we decided to do a "scary" one! Podcaster, author, and emissary from the City of Brotherly Love Trevor Strunk joins to discuss Robert Rodriguez's 1998 Breakfast-Club-Meets-Body-Snatchers riff The Faculty. Boasting a memorable cast of young up-and-comers and a script written by Scream-scribe Kevin Williamson, the film is both playfully self-aware and slyly subversive in its explorations of social hierarchies and the omnipresent 90s fixation with conformity to the monoculture. We begin by exploring how the film updates the Body Snatcher narrative, borrowing (and explicitly citing) the literary works of Robert A. Heinlen and Jack Finney, as well as both previous Body Snatchers film adaptations by Don Siegel and Philip Kaufman. Then, we contend with some of the movie's most intriguing premises - its assertions about capitalist hierarchies and how they maintain the oppression of marginalized out-groups as well as how American society impedes gratifying sexual expression (especially for women). Finally, we examine the deceptively cynical ending and what it suggests about the stickiness of the neoliberal order, its structural hold on the horizons of our sociopolitical imagination.

Welcome to our annual Halloween spooky spectacular with a film that needs two Vs to spell out Witch because it is very, very awesome! Rach tells us all about living deliciously: how she ranks the animals in this movie, why she is a rabbit, and how much she wants to knock those twins' heads together. Ty does his best devil impersonations while telling spooky stories about the sexy witch dreams that inspired the film, who the real terror on set was, and how Robert Eggers became the horror icon we all know and love today.
The fine, upstanding gentlemen of Pod Casty for Me, Jake Serwin and Ian Rhine, return to discuss Hirokazu Kore-eda's After Life, which follows a group of recently deceased people entering a state of limbo where counselors (also deceased) help them locate their most important memory and then go about the work of turning that memory into a film that they will watch forever in eternity. The film adopts, at least in part, a docu-fiction quality, assembling talking head interviews with several non-actors telling their memories directly to camera before becoming a treatise on art-making itself, considering how cinema reflects and retains memory. We begin with a discussion of Kore-eda's formalism, and how the director embraces both the erudite affect of slow cinema and the melodramatic dramaturgy of classical narrative to mixed effect. Then, we engage the film's high concept premise, how its emboldened by its ambiguities and where the film still feels grafted to terrestrial quotidian experience. Finally, we ponder the wide array of films that deal with the afterlife as a bureaucratic machine, and whether applying systemic order to something like death is a comforting fantasy or a cloistering nightmare.

“Enduring night. A spectre of death. He spreads his shadow, and he's coming.” An intertitle from a 1922 film reads: “Nosferatu. Does this word not sound like the deathbird calling your name at midnight? Beware you never say it—for then the pictures of life will fade to shadows, haunting dreams will climb forth from your heart and feed on your blood.” This week, we continue our seventh annual Freaky Film Festival with a gothic horror remake.

Last year, director Robert Eggers, who burst onto the horror filmmaking scene with The Witch and The Lighthouse, premiered his remake of the classic 1922 silent German Expressionist vampire film. Starring Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, and Willem Dafoe, the film sees Bill Skarsgård step into the iconic Max Schreck role of Count Orlock. This is adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula bewitched audiences, becoming Egger's highest-grossing film to date, and earned four Academy Awards nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. But as we kick off our month of spooky movies, are our hosts seduced by this symphony of horror. Or, like a bad cover version, is Eggers' take ultimately toothless?
