Popcorn (w/ Zena)

It was the kernel of a great idea… take a meta approach to the slasher genre and the theatrical experience. Five years before SCREAM savaged the slasher, 1991’s POPCORN burst onto the scene - but didn’t quite make the same impact. On this episode, we go deep into this 90s horror artifact along with Bloody Disgusting Podcast co-host and Returning Champion, the lovely Zena!! Along the way, we fill up tanks full of faces, wonder which audience the film was aimed at, enroll in the University of California at Oceanview, Jamaica U.S.A., evoke the specter of The Curse 2, discuss Gen X’s Amish fashion era, go “full Moochie” mode, talk pretty dumb guys, re-litigate the ghost strategy of Death Spa, and consider why Jill Schoelen has so often been paired with burned villains!! All this, plus we’ve got a Mandatory Tina, a Motivation Dungeon, an unplugged reggae band, and a freshly popped edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Your ticket to the show is waiting at the box office, people!!

In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead franchise and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.
