On this week episode I'm pleased to be joined by Simon Abrams, author of the gorgeous new book The Northman: A Call to the Gods. In it, we discuss how the book came about, some of the fascinating tidbits he picked up while interviewing cast and crew of the viking epic, and how Robert Eggers helped transport audiences back to both a different time and a different mindset. If you haven't seen The Northman on the big screen, you really should: it's monumental in every sense of the world. Folks who live in New York City will have a chance to do just that at the Museum of the Moving Image this Sunday: there's a double feature of The Northman and Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, which Eggers cites as an inspiration for his Viking epic.

Hey, Babes! Down with the aristocracy and colonialism right? This week we're covering Joe Marcantonio's debut feature: Kindred (2020). Listen to us nerd out about music, talk about the need for diversity behind the screen, and the politics of women's bodily autonomy! This movie is almost brand new, so just know there's SPOILERS here.

Ghoul Gang assemble! In this episode Ariel, Candace, and Gaby are talking to our extremely special guest Claire C. Holland, author of horror-themed poetry collection - and our show’s namesake - I Am Not Your Final Girl, about early horror memories, the creative process, monster fuckability (sorry), and of course scary movies. Featured in this episode is the “ghoulishly sadistic” (according to Simon Abrams, rogerebert.com reviewer and apparent squishy baby marshmallow) slaughter-fest of a home invasion movie You’re Next (2013). We get into the ins and outs of rich kid sibling rivalry, final girl survivalism qualifications, and why you should never, ever date your professor. Is there a sequel brewing here? Can hiring a few hitmen count as ethical capitalism? Are filmmakers more likely to take a crossbow bolt to the face than the average person? And what the hell is mumblegore? You’ll have to listen to find out. Check out Claire Holland’s book, I Am Not Your Final Girl: “a collection of feminist-horror poems about final girls... The poems confront the role of women throughout history in relation to subjects such as feminism, violence, motherhood, and sexuality. Each poem is based on a fictional character from horror cinema, and explores the many ways in which women find empowerment through violence and their own perceived monstrousness.” https://www.clairecholland.com/books A proud part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Yeah, this one ain't gonna be funny. First, I talk about Trump being worthless, all the damn shootings, the migrant caravan and the blackface debate. Then, I just go into the horrible few days I've had, thanks to a really bad cold and several, racist hipsters. Since I recorded this on Halloween night, I later play a pre-recorded interview with film critic/good friend Simon Abrams, where I picked his brain about the state of horror cinema and what are the best horror movies to watch during this time of year. As for music, I play tunes from the late, great Wah-Wah Watson and the still-alive Raphael Saadiq. The Sour Hour airs Wednesday nights, 9/8c, on KPFT HD2.

In this special edition of The Cinephiliacs, Peter averts from the regular format for the next three weeks to report back from his annual visit to the New York Film Festival, a favorite cinephile event of his. To help him break down the first week of films, freelancer extraordinaire Simon Abrams joins him to discuss a cornucopia of films that explore cinema, religion, history, and the imaginative process. They dive into the bold use of digital imagery in Brian De Palma's Passion, clash on the complex morality in Christian Mungiu's Beyond the Hills, and elate over the joy of Alain Renais's You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet. Also included in this episode are thoughts on Christian Petzold's Barbara, Noah Baumbach's Frances Ha, Valeria Sarmiento's Lines of Wellington, and Peter Strikland's Berberian Sound Studio. 0:00-2:11 Introduction 2:54-11:31 Passion (Brian De Palma) 11:31-21:26 Barbara (Christian Petzold) 21:26-23:49 Frances Ha (Noah Baumbach) 24:30-35:36 Beyond the Hills (Christian Mungiu) 35:36-43:53 You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet!

I might as well tell you right now: The next few Crizzlecasts are going to be lengthy. This is what happens when you have endlessly fascinating people for friends. Today, we start with Simon Abrams, perhaps one of the most hard-working, freelance film critics out there. (You can read his published pieces on his blog.) But, along with having one of the most adorable handles on Twitter, he's also a podcaster himself. I caught him before he took off to the Toronto Film Festival one Sunday night. And, for nearly two hours, we just riffed. We talked about The Reader (Kate Winslet's ass is in there as well), David Cronenberg, Paul Verhoeven, whether or not Lee Daniels is a shitty filmmaker and why must publicists make it so hard out there for a freelancing pimp. I start to ramble near the end (this was bought on by drinking Francis Coppola wine), and Simon makes a high-pitched noise in the middle that still baffles me when I listened back to it. But, other than that, this is one entertaining-as-hell episode.
