Podcasts about trollhunters

Troll? Again? No, it's a different Troll movie that the Kaiju Hollywood bad boys are talking about with special guest and comic artist Jeph Jacques. This is that Norwegian epic monster film directed by Roar Uthaug in 2022 titled Troll and not that American Troll film from the 80s or the CGI Trolls movie from 2016 or the film we actually reviewed before titled TrollHunter. There's too many dang movies titled Troll! Anyways, fun ep.

Trolls in Scandinavian folklore can be a little different from what’s imagined in the rest of the world.  We begin our show with a montage of clips from recent movies, Trollhunter (2010), Troll (2022), and Troll 2 (2025) — the latter two being Netflix productions that have rekindled interest in the subject while reimagining trollsin a way that does not always conform to the folklore. While all Scandinavian countries have their share of troll lore, this episode focuses specifically on Norway, the country with the most compelling collection of troll folklore. The first portion of our show looks at the Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen’s play along with  incidental music composed for the play by his associate Edvard Grieg. Introducing this topic is a clip from the 1970 musical Song of Norway, a fanciful Edvard Grieg biopic that garnered particularly bad reviews.  We learn a bit about why Grieg hated his well-known “Hall of the Mountain King,” a composition which accompanies Peer Gynt’s encounter with trolls inside a mountain in the Dovre mountain chain. We also learn what Ibsen hoped to achieve in telling the story of his antihero Peer Gynt, and how he wrestled with the movement known in Norway as Romantic Nationalism. Next we look at two figures integral to this movement, Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, a pair of folktale collectors often described as the “Brothers Grimm of Norway.”  Their 1841 publication, Norwegian Folk-Tales, along with updated volumes published in 1844, 1845, and  1871, provide most all the troll tales with examine in this episode. An exception to this is a book authored by Asbjørnsen alone, High Mountain Scenes, volume 2, Reindeer Hunt at Rondane. Published sometime before 1846, it’s the only volume referencing tales told about Peer Gynt, those being very loosely represented in Ibsen’s play. Asbjørnsen & Moe’s “Norwegian Folk Tales” The first of these we retell concerns a creature known as “the Bøyg,” something referred to as a type of troll in the story is described more  as a giant serpent of sorts. We follow this with more Peer Gynt episodes involving male trolls flirting with human females and a troll poking his enormous nose through a cabin window and suffering the consequences inflicted by Gynt.  The final story, “The Cat on the Dovre-Mountain,” takes place at Christmas, a time when troll encounters are particularly prevalent, and involves Gynt outsmarting a group of bothersome trolls via a peculiar stratagem. Next, we run through some lesser-known details of the best-known troll tale “The Three Billygoats Gruff.”  We follow this with another well-known (in Norway) story, “The Boy Who Had an Eating Match with a Troll.” It involves a youth outwitting a troll with a particularly gruesome ruse It was familiar enough to Norwegian audiences to be referenced in Trollhunter. Next we look at a character Askeladden, who is pitted against trolls in several of Asbjørnsen & Moe's stories.  He’s usually describing the good-for-nothing youngest brother of a trio, an underdog who surprisingly achieves great things. His name (literally “ash lad”) referenes his stay-at home habits, in particular, sitting by the hearth playing in the ashes. We learn of several characters with related names and habits in Scandinavian literature and a more insultingly rude nickname for such characters, one which Asbjørnsen & Moe chose to censor from their stories. Theodor Kittlesen, “Troll Pondering How Old iIt Is” (1911) Our next troll tale, “The Lads who Met the Trolls in the Hedale Woods,” gives us particularly monstrous trio of trolls sharing a single eyeball.  While this is atypical, we also encounter here the common trope of trolls sniffing the air for “Christian blood,” a suggestion that their kind of an older pre-Christian order.  A reference to trolls using magic is also contained in this story, something we’ll run into in other tales. We then hear some clips from a couple of Asbjørnsen & Moe-inspired films, the 2017 Norwegian film Ash Lad: In the Hall of the Mountain King and its 2019 follow-up, The Ash Lad: In Search of the Golden Castle.  The “Golden Castle” in Norwegian film title and  the title  of the relevant Asbjørnsen & Moe story is “Soria Moria Castle.” This one also features trolls, but in a peripheral role.  It’s a longer legend quest rather than a short folk tale in which we encounter three multi-headed trolls holding human women captive in three different castles. Our last story, “The Hen is Trips in the Mountain,” takes its  weird title from a strange phrase uttered to open a door into a mountain, like “Open Sesame.” When a young woman enters theis particular mountain looking for a lost hen, she meets an unpleasant end, as does her younger sister, but when the youngest of the three enters, she manages not to repeat the mistakes of her two siblings and later discovers that trolls can explode when touched by the first rays of dawn (as well as turning to stone, another common folklore trope). We wrap up the show with some interesting stats regarding the fascination trolls exert over the heavy metal subculture. Theodor Kittlesen, “Mountain Troll” (1887)    

Episode 239: This week we close KAIJUARY with a Norwegian Found Footage film in 2010's Troll Hunter. Did we end on a bang or a wimper? Tune in to find out.Make sure to join us next week for the beginning of our Women in Horror Month, with the 2024 Zoë Kravitz film Blink Twice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-cut-above-horror-review--6354278/support.

This month on Sitting in the Dark, we go big: big monsters, big fear, and big systems that respond to catastrophe with the confidence of a guy who just Googled “what is monster” on his way into the meeting. Kynan, Chelsea Stardust, Tommy Metz III, and Pete Wright take on three modern giant-creature films—Bong Joon-ho's The Host (2006), André Øvredal's Troll Hunter (2010), and Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One (in its Minus Color presentation)—and find a weirdly consistent thread across wildly different cultures: when the giant thing shows up, the institutions mostly don't.The Host kicks things off with tonal whiplash as a feature, not a bug. The film's mix of grief, comedy, and political bite becomes its own kind of monster, and the conversation circles what Bong is really lampooning, what still lands, and what hits differently on a rewatch. The creature design gets its due too—full daylight, hard to pin down, impossible to “know”—but what lingers is the movie's sense that people become collateral long before anything with teeth arrives.Troll Hunter shifts the vibe without letting you off the hook. The group gets into the found-footage push-pull—shaky cam, “why are you still filming,” all that—then pretty quickly agrees that Hans, the deadpan troll hunter, is the secret weapon. The film's charm is how seriously it takes the ridiculous premise: folklore becomes logistics, mythology becomes fieldwork, and the jokes don't erase the danger. It's one of those movies that makes you laugh… then reminds you you'd die immediately.Godzilla Minus One brings it home with a version of Godzilla that's less “spectacle” and more “reckoning.” The group talks about the postwar setting, the human story at the center, why the black-and-white presentation changes the feel of the effects, and how this movie earns its impact through quiet scenes as much as destruction.Across all three films, the episode keeps returning to the same uncomfortable idea: these are blue-collar fights. The people who do anything meaningful aren't the polished experts. They're ordinary, exhausted, under-resourced, and improvising. Which might be the scariest part.Next month, Chelsea flips the table for her birthday picks with an ultra low-budget lineup: The Battery (2012), Hellbender (2021), and Starry Eyes (2014).

On this episode of Movie Club, the boys take a trip to Norway with the found footage movie Trollhunter. Let's just say we had fun with this one!

On this eerie and imaginative episode of Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz journey through two vastly different yet haunting tales — The Phantom Carriage (1921) and Trollhunter (2010). From Victor Sjöström's ghostly meditation on mortality and redemption to André Øvredal's found-footage monster hunt through Norway's wilderness, the crew unpacks how both films use folklore, fear, and human frailty to explore what lurks beyond the veil. Expect thoughtful analysis, wild theories, and plenty of laughs as the guys connect a silent-era masterpiece to modern mythmaking — proving that great storytelling, like death and trolls, never really dies.

On this episode, acclaimed author Caitlin Starling (The Luminous Dead, The Starving Saints, The Death of Jane Lawrence, etc.) joins Aaron and Derek to discuss 2010's Norwegian dark fantasy mockumentary "Trollhunter" written and directed by André Øvredal. They talk about Caitlin's bibliography, inspirations, writing process and experiences with professional publishing. They also get into Trollhunter's blending of Norwegian culture and folktale with grounded reality, the movie's exploration of bureaucracy and lack of oversight, the effective use of found footage in the revelation of trolls and plot progression, and many other aspects of the movie. Derek and Aaron are in troll territory now. Caitlin once saw a troll try to eat its own tail.  Please follow Caitlin on Instagram @authorcstarling and on Bluesky @caitlinstarling.com Check out her works at her website: www.caitlinstarling.com We are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio and CastBox.

Roxy Striar and Greg Alba dive into the chilling mystery of The Autopsy of Jane Doe, a horror film that blends psychological terror with supernatural suspense. Directed by André Øvredal (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Trollhunter), this eerie thriller follows father-son coroners as they uncover the dark secrets hidden within the body of an unidentified woman. This reaction covers the film's most terrifying and shocking moments, including the unsettling toe bell scene, the gruesome skin peeling autopsy revelations, the radio static eerily predicting doom, and the terrifying corpse coming to life sequence. As the mystery deepens, the realization that Jane Doe isn't just a victim—but something far more sinister—creates an atmosphere of dread that lingers long after the credits roll. The film's claustrophobic setting, disturbing discoveries, and haunting atmosphere make it one of the most underrated supernatural horror movies in recent years.

Our next stop for Foreign Film February is the chilly mountains of Norway, home of the biggest, dumbest monsters according to this guy who gets paid to wrangle them. We met up with a real, life TROLLHUNTER (2010) and he had the audacity to smother us in the most horrible-smelling goop imaginable because he said, get this, it will repel trolls! He seems like a psycho but we're a group of disbelieving college students making a documentary so let's roll with it. What's the worst that could happen? Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The Monster Island World Tour moves into Europe with a stop in Oslo, Norway, to discuss the 2010 found footage kaiju film, Trollhunter (not to be confused with Netflix's Troll from 2022—we already covered that). Nate is joined by his college chum, the founder of Nerd Chapel, Eric Anderson, to dive into a movie that says Christians need not apply to be Norway's hunter of trolls (and we don't mean the internet variety). That's just one of the many aspects of this unique film that these two Christian nerds get into. Prepare yourself for a heaping dose of theology and folklore! For the Toku Topic, Nate delves into the “monster masts” controversy surrounding the construction of electrical lines in rural Norway, which helped inspire the film. Listen to our coverage of Netflix's Troll (2022) for more info on Norwegian troll folklore! LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mifv-max-14-troll.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Yes, Nate misremembered when the bonus episode on The Barbados Project was supposed to happen. But the good news is you got it sooner! Anyway, this low-budget found footage kaiju horror film is great warm-up to the next mainline episode on Trollhunter. It can be viewed (again) on Tubi, but it originally played the film festival circuit and on the obscure streaming service POV Horror. It's a rare film produced in the island nation of Barbados, let alone a kaiju film. But there are reasons it's flown under the kaiju fandom's radar and the Island houses none of the creatures in it. Why? Listen to find out!

The Last Voyage of the Demeter, in theaters now, is Based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula. It tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London. The film stars Corey Hawkins (In the Heights, Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew, Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones, The Nightingale) as an unwitting stowaway, Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones, Clash of the Titans) as the ship's captain and David Dastmalchian (Dune, the Ant-Man franchise) as the Demeter's first mate. Director André Øvredal also directed Trollhunter, Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark, Autopsy of Jane Doe, and Mortal. Andre joined Talking Strange's Aaron Sagers to talk about this missing tale of the Dracula lore, what makes Dracula an enduring movie monster, and what other scary stories André wants to tell in the dark. AND whether he'd prefer to face off against vampires or trolls. _______________________________________________________________ Talking Strange Paranormal Podcast with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, with a weekly "Small Talk" mini-sode with reader submitted letters and spooky tales.

Mark and Zanandi (@ZaNandi on Twitter) have covered a lot of beautiful horror films since 2019, and they decided to pit them against each other in a tournament of doom. In this episode, they have an incredibly hard time picking a winner because The Dark and the Wicked, The Blackcoat's Daughter, Scream (1996), Doctor Sleep, We Summon the Darkness, Trollhunter, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Jason X, Devil, Underwater and Candyman (1992) are really cool films.

Schlender. Defense: Dr. London Smith. Judge: The Honorable Big Ben Haslar. Jurors: Ryan Luis Rodriguez, Big Ben Haslar, Maynard Bangs. *** Advisory: Silvana Carranza. Prologue: Kirk R. Thatcher. Original Theme: WT Golden.

I was not a big fan of this one either, not as good a Cloverfield,even though just years apart. The director has gone on to make some interesting looking movies, so maybe doing a "found footage" movie is a good way to start a career into film making, it has worked for some. movierewrite1@gmail.com find us on Facebook: movie rewrite podcast
