Hey class! Come meet Mike and Tyler, two high school teachers who absolutely love to talk and write about the horror genre! We also own and write for a website named Signal Horizon, where you can get the latest news, reviews, and analysis of works from the horror and dark science fiction genres!
Hey Class. Its Tyler here doing the show notes
again. Like my lesson plans they may be a little incomplete
:). This week we had a lot to discuss regarding the great
found footage flick Lake Mungo and various forms of
psychoanalysis. Enjoy.
2:20- Tyler talks about Deadpool 2. It was pretty
good. Not amazing but totally worth his 10.00 investment in
moviepass. Get your movie pass
2:30- Tyler is reading Jason Parents Book They
Feed. It looks like its got zombie stuff in it. SUPER
COOL!!!. Buy it here.
3:00- Mike and Tyler talk about Grimscribes Puppets another reference to Thomas
Ligotti. Tyler tries to pretend he knows something about
Ligotti. He does not. It is obvious. it is cringy and
maybe a little pathetic. Mike mentions another podcast we
love called the Outer Dark Podcast. It is totally worth a
listen.
5:45- Mike recommends the episode of Pseudopod by Thomas
Ligotti called Bungalow House. Download it here
16:30- Tyler discusses Head Full of Ghosts by Paul
Tremblay. Tremblay recommends Lake Mungo and we totally
understand why.
17:19 Tyler discusses Tubi TV. It is a pretty cool
app. Check it out.
18:15 Tyler discusses Oz Perkins who directed Blackcoat's
Daughter who will also direct the film adaptation of A Head Full of
Ghosts. He also directed a Netflix original I am the Pretty
Thing That Lives in the House
23:30- Mike mentions that the oldest human
remains ever were found in and around Lake
Mungo.
29:00- Mike talks about a book we reviewed on Signal Horizon
called America's Dark Theologian by Douglas E. Cowan. Its a
really great connection and aneven better
read.
35:30- Tyler talks about the article "Conjuring the
real: Ghosts, technology and landscape in 'Lake Mungo'" in Screen
Education Issue 82 September 2016 by Tyson Wils. Check it out for further
reading.
Horror is fun and important. Orrin and Tyler look at a movie each episode and examine what is good, what is bad, and how it could be used in the classroom or out of the classroom to teach us something about ourselves.
