Class is back in session and today Tyler and Mike are
discussing a very interesting movie just released on
Shudder that you may have missed called Honeymoon. We
are discussing in depth what the movie has to say about
relationships in general and marriage specifically. We will
then look at the 7 principals of successful relationships and
evaluate the relationship in Honeymoon using those standards.
1:35-Tyler discusses the newest beer by Boulevard
Brewery. Vamos is their new Mexican Style Beer. Also the boys
discuss Jeepers Creepers 3. Tyler did not write down the
metacritic score for the movie. It was 37... which is as he
said not great. Michael also discussed how the director
Victor Salva was a convicted pedophile. It was news to Tyler
but you can check out and interesting article about
the movie and the director here. He is indeed a convicted
pedophile.
6:56- Mike discusses the first episode of HPC extra credit
with Ellen Datlow. You can check out some of her anthologies
on Amazon or on other episodes of The Horror Pod
Class.
10:45- Mike invites us to listen to a podcast called This is
Horror. He particularly enjoyed an episode that includes an
interview with Nick Mamatas. Mamatas discusses how to write
fiction and the class origins of genre fiction which both guys
really like talking about.
Check out the episode here.
12:34- Tyler mistakenly said Honeymoon was released in
2016. He was wrong as usual. It was released in
2014.
23:03-Tyler discusses the concept of Checkov's Gun. It
is a literary device where we are introduced to a
concept/object/idea at the beginning of the film because it will be
important later on in the book or movie.
There is a great
description of the device here.
25:02-Michael discusses a really interesting phenomena in ants
where a fungus gets inside of their brain and causes them to commit
suicide and spread the fungus to the rest of the ant colony.
You can read more about Zombie Ants
here.
33:08- Tyler says cootch. Lets let it go. It was
not a great moment. He feels bad enough about it
already.
43:55- Tyler is doing the show notes and wishes to make
it clear his wife is not a handcuff also the trip to the lake this
weekend has been cancelled.
53:55- Tyler keeps calling it THE Honeymoon. That
is a different movie. The name of the movie they are
discussing is just Honeymoon.
