Episode 190: Filmmaker Cate Jones talks her new film 'Chicken House'

This week, filmmaker Cate Jones joins the show to talk about her latest film. Chicken House has been playing the festival circuit this year and has been seen at genre fests such as the Chattanooga Film Festival. This weekend the movie will be playing at The Shawna Shea Memorial Film Festival, The Arizona Underground Film Festival, and the Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival.The film is about four aspiring actresses who live in a house together. When one of them moves out of their home, the other three have to bring in a new roommate. The new addition to their household turns things upside down as tensions rise and some unexpected visitors make their appearance.Chicken House touches on a number of themes. It deals with friendship, sexuality, identity, and the idea of close mindedness versus being open minded. Cate goes into the process of writing the film and how she brought her cast together. There is also a discussion about some of the ideas explored in the film.When we asked if Cate would join our humble little podcast, we also asked if there was a movie she wanted to talk about. She chose an interesting one in 2018's Vox Lux. Blake had to overcome his natural dislike of Natalie Portman in order to discuss a movie that brings a lot of ideas to the table.We talk about the nature of celebrity and tragedy, Portman's performances, and and ending that some may find self-indulgent. We also talk about the strong acting in the movie and how it is impossible to make Jude Law not look handsome. How did this all lead into a talk about Annihilation?Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network. Morbidly Beautiful is your one stop shop for all your horror needs.
