In this episode, we dig deep into the mailbag to check out the first listener suggestion the podcast ever received. This leads us back to show-favorite director David Robert Mitchell and his landmark 2014 horror film It Follows. Jason champions the film’s classical aesthetics. Dustin focuses in on the varying interpretations of what “It” actually is. Michael returns to the topic of nightmare logic and draws some interesting parallels to prior episodes of the show. And so much more!
Special thanks to Robert for suggesting we check this one out. Got a movie you champion? A hidden gem you think needs more love? Just want to see more discussion on a particular film? We want to check out the movies you suggest to us. Write in at genreexposure@gmail.com or contact us on your favorite form of social media and shoot us a movie recommendation.
