Spooky season is just around the corner, so were starting a little early with MALIGNANT. Raquel had to go see a daytime screening cause she was afraid but ended up finding some campy fun. It was a treat seeing what happens when multi-billion grossing director James Wan gets carte blanche from a studio. Is MALIGNANT a (neo)giallo or not? Also Raquel learns what a giallo is. Raphael loves the idea of huge budget exploitation film tailor made for cult status & perpetual midnight screenings. Raquel is starting to realize she enjoys horror movies more than she thought. A ridiculous episode for a ridiculous film.
The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through & through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a movie to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film.
