Episode 119: Monster Movies

Danny Anderson hosts a a conversation with Michial Farmer and Nathan Gilmour about monster movies, focusing on the evolution of the genre from the early Dracula and Frankenstein movies to the self-referential remakes of the twenty-first century. At every turn the trio explores the philosophical implications of the monstrous and the place of such narrative in Christian worlds of thought. Among the movies, ideas, and other realities explored are slasher films, Frankenstein, zombies, Scream, and why low-budget scary movies work better than big-budget blockbusters.
