It’s the best time of year dear listener! It is officially Shocktober! This month, we will have all of the movies to spook, scare, shock and send shivers down your spine. And we start with the genre mish-mash Shadow of the Vampire. We’ve got Willem Defoe, John Malkovich, Nosferatu, and a meta-narrative. It is definitely a movie that’s in our wheelhouse.
The host lineup this week is a first as Dustin, Arthur, and Alex find themselves running the ship. The conversation begins this week as we talk about “What If Scenarios” we’d like to see played out in film. Arthur, Dustin, and Alex pull out some fascinating ideas that would probably bring in some box office bucks. Then, we throw back the casket lid and stake out the analysis of Shadow of the Vampire. Alex kicks it off this week and offers up ideas and critiques of method acting and overbearing directors. She cites Kubrick and Hitchcock as prime examples of directors who would often take things too far. Jared Leto and his recent methodical turn as the Joker are also talking points for her analysis.
