A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

Keep lookin' over your shoulder because Shocktober 2016 is rolling on. This week, we're back to talk about the much lauded It Follows. We hit the mean streets of Detroit in an attempt to crack this supernatural thriller open. Do we find success? You'll have to tune it to see, or hear? Anyway, Alex, Arthur, Dalton and Dustin gave it a good effort here. Also, it must be mentioned that things get very real on this episode. It happens during out analysis. If you have any trigger warning issues related to sexual assault or rape, you may want to skip straight to Arthur's analysis. This will be marked in the timestamps below.
Before we get down to business, their must first be some gameplay. This week we talk about our favorite Horror Film Scores. It is a good discussion filled with great examples. After the game, we get down to business and dissect It Follows. Trigger warning as Alex reads the film as with the spectre being a commentary on sexual assault and the spectre is a representation of PTSD. Next, Dalton informs us that we're all going to die. He brings up how sex is used as something to take death and mortality and growing older off people's minds.
Keep your eyes peeled, dear listener. Be careful not to get to comfortable with the people around you, and stay with your closest friends. They are the ones who will help when times get tough. Like us, we'll always be here for you if you need. Just hit that play button.
