Your Hosts

Please prepare to present your token and board the Horroretc Podcast as we take you on a trip underground to cover horror films set in the subway.
A selection of four titles were chosen including a couple of potentially underlooked gems. We cover the 1972 'classic' Deathline (or Raw Meat depending on which continent you reside in) starring Donald Pleasance, move on to a recent Canadian indie film End of the Line from 2006, get to 2004's Creep (to see how a horror director cuts his teeth) and round things out with a recent entry 2008's Midnight Meat Train. It's definately a niche category but fun nonetheless. We would like to acknowledge in advance that the excellent opening scene from Suicide Club (2002) was not mentioned in the episode although in hindsight it absolutely should have been!
We round things out with come thoughts on a few non-horror films Valkyrie and Curious Case of Benjamin Button, as well we have some audio feedback and spend some time responding to a great discussion point raised in an email.

TERROR IN THE UNDERGROUND:
SUBWAY HORROR
THE Q & A SHOW 2: Nudity in horror, criteria for rewatching, a quality crisis, most frightening real life event, much much more...
It's Question and Answer time.
This week your hosts tackle some of the burning questions keeping horror fans up at night. Topics discussed include: the importance of nudity in horror, the criteria to make a film rewatchable, the current lack of quality Hollywood is offering, our greatest fears and most frightening real life experience, our movie picks for introducing the uninitiated to horror, films to strike from existance, and many more.
The format may appear unfocused but we needed an excuse to address some of the issues weighing on our minds as fans of the genre. We welcome your input on the topics raised and invite any additional questions you would like to have posed on the show.
We close out the show with a tribute to the late Ricardo (Khan Noonien Soong) Montalban.

"DON'T JUDGE MEEEEEEEEE"
Guilty Pleasures. Those film choices which you love in spite of yourself and in opposition to your established appreciation of quality filmmaking. We discuss the concept of the guilty pleasure film and offer up some of our dirty little secrets. A huge thank you to all the listeners who participated by sending in their picks making this an interactive episode.
We received in advance of this show many comments arguing the validity of the guilty pleasure film by expressing a lack of 'guilt' in the movie choices of a genre fan. We happen to agree with those comments but used this scenario to describe the concept: A friend randomly shows up at your door while this film is on...do you turn it off or leave it playing?
Lots of fun was had despite the imminent death by flu of one of your hosts. Here are some links of relevance to this weeks episode:

DEXTER. A serialized cable series concerning a serial killer working within the Miami Metro Police Department and all of the complexities and motivations that drive him. Sounds simple enough but the fact is this series has been an addiction of your hosts and is one of the most engaging and well written shows we've seen. In this weeks episode we split our main discussion into non-spoiler and spoiler sections as we first explain why the show is a must see and our thoughts on the characters and story structure, then get into our comments on the season 1 story and how it played out.
NOTE - The spoiler timeframe where key elements of season 1 are discussed is: 29:20 to 53:20
We highly recommend exploring this acclaimed series as for once we agree with the critics. Stay tuned for further installments devoted to season 2 and 3.
Movie talk includes comments on My Bloody Valentine 3D, Repo: The Genetic Opera, The Wrestler and The Poughkeepsie Tapes, as well as thoughts on a few new trailers.
Finally, we have an exciting new contest to announce. Thanks to Abaddon Books for providing a great prize pack for giveaway.

"No matter what you try, no matter how hard you work, I'll always be one step ahead of you for one simple reason..............I own you." -- Dexter to Sgt Doakes
Another week, another season of Dexter. Season 1 was so much fun to revisit that your hosts felt compelled to tackle Season 2 without delay. For those who have watched the second season of this fantastic show please join us on a trip back to revisit the plot threads and character evolutions including a stunning final four episode run. For those who may not yet have experienced Dexter, we recommend returning to the main segment after watching as the entire discussion is one big spoiler.
However, we do have another installment of the Horroretc Theatre for all to enjoy in the second half of the show this week... The True Story of Dracula. This is the third in a series of live to tape radio plays presented on the program. The Dexter talk ends at 1 hour 22 minutes, so please give it a listen.
