  • Episode 14: Caryn Coleman (The Future of Film is Female)
    Dec 10 2024
    Caryn Coleman is the founder of New York-based film initiative The Future of Film is Female which amplifies the work of women and non-binary filmmakers early in their career, offering short film grants. Caryn's initiative has been exponentially growing and I wanted to ask her how she made it all happen! We talk about how Caryn came to curating, her Future of Film is Female highlights, and the knots and bolts of indie distribution.

  • Episode 13: Classism in Film with Tosha R. Taylor
    Nov 20 2024
    There's a plethora of "eat the rich" films these days, films that relish in showing the wealthy suffer without, god forbid, rocking the status quo. My guest today is Tosha R. Taylor is quite skeptical of the trend. Tosha R. Taylor is a writer, former academic, and regularly publishes and presents on horror, extremity, and queerness. We talk about the history of class in cinema, the invisibility of class issues in the majority of films, hillbilly horror, and Tosha picks some of her favorite class-conscious horror films.

  • Episode 12: Anthony Perkins with Xanthe Pajarillo
    Oct 16 2024
    I spoke with fellow Anthony Perkins superfan, PhD student and podcaster Xanthe Pajarillo, all about the immensely talented and under-appreciated Anthony Perkins. Perkins was far more than Norman Bates and I wanted to delve into his interesting and eclectic career with someone who gets it. We discuss his early days as a teen idol, his career in Europe, midcentury masculinity, and chose some of our favorite Perkins performances.
