PARANORMAN & TURNING RED: Episode 175: Feel Good Fall Films Part 2 Artwork

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

WoHos!

We had such a good time with our Feel Good Fall Films that we decided to do two more: PARANORMAN & TURNING RED, two modern classics of animation.

PARANORMAN: A misunderstood boy takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse.

TURNING RED: A thirteen-year-old girl named Mei Lee is torn between staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the changes of adolescence. And as if the challenges were not enough, whenever she gets overly excited Mei transforms into a giant red panda.

Coming up on the Bonus show: Stefan and I discuss one of my favorite films, WE ARE STILL HEREC and hrissy Champagne from RESIDUE joins us to discuss DON'T GO TO SLEEP, a made-for-TV movie from 1982.

On the main show, Mac & I will discuss GRAFTED from New Zealand & THE SUBSTANCE from the US.

Remember, WoHos, We Love You and DON'T go into the basement!
