Smile (2022)

Smile and the whole world screams with you! That’s right, we’re showing teeth and talking about the biggest horror hit of the fall, SMILE!! Along the way, we dig into how the film both explores and exploits mental health, why this just might be the most J-Horror film not filmed in Japan, and the relief you feel when you give up on something stupid and come clean about how the film triggered our own struggles. All this, plus a grizzly Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we wonder why the past crop of horror flicks brought audiences back to theaters! Grin and bear it with us today, won’t you? CW: This episode, as does the movie, delves into the subject of both mental health and suicide.

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.
