In this week’s episode Allison chatted with horror screenwriter Stephen Tronicek and they both geeked out hardcore over their favorite films! The 21-year-old St. Louis resident talked about his award-winning screenplay Pieces, why he loves body horror, his opinion on the work of David vs. Brandon Cronenberg, and his favorite film of 2021 so far. He also waxes poetically on why he thinks perfectly sane-seeming people love horror and why he really digs J-horror and not their American remakes so much.
