88. It's Alive

For August, we’re diving headfirst into a brand new theme, and apparently choosing emotional violence because welcome to Family Horror Month! That’s right: toxic relationships, questionable parenting, inherited trauma and enough deeply uncomfortable family business to completely destroy Thanksgiving dinner. For Last Century Week, we’re traveling back to 1974 for It’s Alive, a film that asks: What happens when experimental drugs are handed out to pregnant women all willy-nilly and the result is a Monster Baby who just wants some milk, a nap and to go home? Unfortunately, instead of receiving a bottle and a little compassion, this poor newborn is met with screaming, disgust, armed police and an entire city acting like they’ve never seen a baby with claws before. We Get… A mother who loves her baby no matter what, as she should. A father who wants to love his baby no matter what…but Monster Baby has him completely fucked up. A society with absolutely zero sympathy for a helpless newborn who is, once again, just trying to find something to eat. Shady scientists attempting to bury their pharmaceutical mistakes. And the largest police response ever assembled to hunt down somebody who was literally born yesterday. So press play as we follow two distraught parents, one terrified city, several deeply shitty scientists and an entire police force determined to make sure Monster Baby never reaches his first birthday. #GhostNinjaRaccoon #GNRPodcast #FamilyHorrorMonth #LastCenturyWeek #ItsAlive #ItsAlive1974 #LarryCohen #Horror #HorrorMovies #HorrorFilm #HorrorPodcast #HorrorPodcasts #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #ComedyPodcast #Podcast #Podcasts #Podcasting #NewPodcastEpisode #NewEpisode #NowPlaying #HorrorFans #HorrorCommunity #HorrorLovers #ScaryMovies #ClassicHorror #CultHorror #CultClassic #70sHorror #RetroHorror #MonsterMovie #CreatureFeature #BodyHorror #FamilyHorror #MovieReview #MovieRecap #FilmReview #HorrorReview #SpotifyPodcasts #ApplePodcasts Follow me below for more reviews! 👇🏾 LETTERBXD: @GhstNinjaRacoon INSTAGRAM & FACEBOOK @ghostninjaraccoon Got a movie suggestion: [email protected] New Episodes drop Mondays!
