Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

Let’s get a little personal, shall we? For this episode Nichole chats about 1989’s Tetsuo: The Iron Man, an experimental cult sci-fi horror film that follows the horrific nightmare and reality of man becoming metal. She watched this film after a valve replacement surgery that began her own metal mission and, as a result, the film hit a profound way. Following more viewings and additional research on the film and the director’s vision, Nichole is finally ready to discuss this cult classic on the pod.Want to share your thoughts on Tetsuo or suggest a film to cover?

Let's get psychologically sexy! Terry and Joe unpack David Cronenberg's historical drama featuring a trio of hot leads in Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen. Alas, there's something...lacking about this one.Plus: Knightley's accent, boring stretches, a scene-stealing Vincent Cassel, and an intriguing finale. Overall, however, we spend a lot of time questioning whether Cronenberg was a good fit for this material.Wanna connect with your co-hosts on Instagram & BlueSky?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremote / @joelipsett (BlueSky)Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify"If you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Discover more fabulously spooky Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad and follow the network on Instagram and BlueSky @aoas_xx Hosted on Acast.

For the month of January, Nichole is chatting about a couple of her favorite horror films from 2024. First up? Tilman Singer’s incredibly strange and haunting Cuckoo, starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens.This is definitely not a film that will hit with everyone, but the connection that forms between Gretchen, and her mute sister, Alma, is lovely. The film also touches on themes of bodily autonomy in some interesting and unexpected ways.Additional Reading/Research:> The Ecology of Avian Brood Parasitism> Brood ParasitismWant to say hi, share your thoughts on Cuckoo or suggest a film to cover?
