World of Horror with Mom & Mac
Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS: Bonus Episode 137 with Quinn McLaughlin
WoHos! Q-Balls!
Ms. Q is back to talk with me about how her Introduction to Film students reacted to this film. It was nice to revisit this classic and we had a nice ramble about their perceptive insights.
We also are such fans of Brooke Smith and Ted Levine as well as Jonathan Demme's direction and Tak Fujimoto's cinematography.
We also talk about the minor car accident Quinn was in (she's fine), the difference between Quinn's and my brain, the TV show my dead mom would have loved, Mac's amazing, prescient pattern recognition, "kids today", escape rooms, and what a good teacher Quinn is. Plus what the end credits of PEARL have in common with this film.
This is being released on Quinn's actual birthday, so go ahead and wish her a Happy Birthday. You can find her at instagram.com/quinnmcl03!
Next up on the main show Mac and I will be looking at squishy body horror with SOCIETY and eXistenZ. Next up on the Quinnisode, Quinn and I will be spotlighting Jesse Plemons.
Remember, Q-Balls and WoHos, we love you, don't go into the basement, and more dicks!
