  • Episode #11: Tenebrae - The Camera Turns Around
    May 24 2026

    We're at the halfway point, and Dario Argento just walked through the door.

    Tenebrae is the film that made me realize horror could be angry — not at you, but at itself, at the people who consume it, at the whole beautiful, ugly machine. It's a giallo that dissects giallo. A murder mystery that turns the camera around.

    This episode, I'm getting into why Argento made this one after a decade of being accused of glorifying violence against women — and why his answer was stranger, more complicated, and more honest than anyone gave him credit for. You're going to have questions. Good ones.

    If you love this genre — really love it, the way you love something that embarrasses you a little — pull up a chair.

  • Episode #10: Near Dark—Vampire, Western, Addiction, and the Price of the Outlaw Life
    Apr 6 2026

    Kathryn Bigelow's 1987 solo feature debut is a vampire-Western-noir hybrid that deliberately strips the glamour from the vampire mythos. This episode breaks down why Near Dark treats immortality as a form of addiction, the undead clan as a "using circle," and the climactic blood transfusion as a detox and recovery narrative. The discussion examines the film's cast, its American outlaw mythology, and how it foreshadowed the darker, more honest approach to the genre that eventually caught up to Bigelow’s vision.
