Such Sights To Show: Episode 27 - Underworld / Transmutations (1985)

Season 3, Ep. 50

Bryan 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 ending

  • 87. Bodies of Horror: Episode 80 - The Front Room (2024)

    41:02||Season 3, Ep. 87
    November is National Family caregivers Month and, for better or worse, The Front Room (2024) has quite a bit to say about caregiving (the title is a reference to a bedroom in the house reserved for an older loved one when they move in for additional care). While the film delves into harmful tropes, it also puts some aspects of caregiving that we don't often talk about in the spotlight and there's merit in discussing them.Additional Reading/Research:> 2024 National Family Caregivers Month> Caregiving in The US | The National Alliance for Caregiving> America's Military and Veteran Caregivers: Hidden Heroes Emerging from the Shadows | RANDFollow Nichole on Bluesky at @bodiesofhorrorpod.Intro and outro music is “The Wind Frazzled Your Long Brown Hair” by Flashback81.Follow them at Twitter now, too: @81flashbackIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!

    42:50||Season 3, Ep. 85
    Terry and Joe are back with their first Cronenberg title of the season and...it's not great.Spider (2002) has an intriguing premise and a flawed execution. The scenes in the past are more successful, but Ralph Fiennes' contemporary bits are dull and often unconvincing.Plus: double your Miranda Richardson, and why the twist doesn't work for usWanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify"
