Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad
Bodies of Horror: Episode 62 - The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) feat. Brian Keiper
Season 3, Ep. 1
•
Nichole is joined by Movies for Life co-host (and another Pod and Pendulum co-host), Brian Keiper, to discuss one of horror master Wes Craven’s “under the radar” films: 1988’s The Serpent and The Rainbow. We discuss some bits of the background of the flick and how it differed from Craven’s initial vision, as well as the intersection of faith and medicine.

51. Sexy & Surreal: Episode 24 - eXistenZ (1999)
01:02:09Terry and Joe wrap up series three of Sexy & Surreal with David Cronenberg's final 90s film, eXistenZ (1999). Gamer Terry gets into this first-time watch in its confusing back half, but finds plenty to love in the production design and Howard Shore's score.Plus: comparisons to The Matrix, "commit to the bit" actors like Law and Dafoe, and discussions aplenty about the world as simulation.

50. Such Sights To Show: Episode 27 - Underworld / Transmutations (1985)
36:54Bryan and Joe check out Clive Barker's first screenplay, Underworld aka Transmutations (1985).This George Pavlou (Rawhead Rex) film was plagued by producer interference, so much so that Barker has notoriously disowned it. For good reason! It's boring, has a soap opera aesthetic, and features an icky romance between Nicole (18 year old Nicola Cowper) and Roy Bain (38 year old Larry Lamb).Plus: kernels of Nightbreed and Lord of Illusions, early Miranda Richardson, and a confounding endingWanna connect with the show?> Bryan: @eviltaylorhicks (Instagram/BlueSky)> Joe: @bstolemyremoteMusic Credit: Hellraiser Theme by Christopher YoungCheck out Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad for more great content and the other Network pods

29:13Jenn, Gena and Joe return to discuss the first four episodes of Kristen Bell's half serious, half parody Netflix series, The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window. Up for discussion: Bell as MVP, the show's best joke(s), messy women, comparisons to Police Academy and The Naked Gun and whether this would have been better served as a film.Wanna connect with the show?> Gena: @genadoesthings (Instagram/BlueSky)> Jenn: @jennferatu> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!
47. Sexy & Surreal: Episode 23 - The Straight Story (1999)
47:42Terry and Joe close out the David Lynch side of S03 with a very unorthodox text: 1999's The Straight Story.Or maybe it just seems odd. On closer inspection, though, there are clear Lynchian elements; they're just lurking under the surface!Plus: an Oscar-nominated performance by Richard Farnsworth, hitting deer on the highway, and an out of control lawnmower action sequence.Wanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify"
