Hellraiser (1987) (GUEST: Ray Ortega "The Podcasters' Studio")
from Sequelcast 2 and Friends Hosted by Mat Bradley-Tschirgi
Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss the original Hellraiser movie from 1987 with special guest Ray Ortega, host of The Podcasters' Studio. Based on Clive Barker's 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart, Hellraiser is a family drama meets horror meets dark fantasy with elements of BDSM laced throughout. Julia (Clare Higgins) reminisces about an affair she had years ago with her husband's brother, Frank (Sean Chapman). After her husband Larry (Andrew Robinson) cuts himself on a nail while moving a matress, his blood leads to Frank's resurrection in a bloodied skeletal state. Can Larry's daughter Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) convince the demonic Cenobites to get rid of Frank? Thrasher enjoys the brief season of W/ Bob & David, especially the behind the scenes episode. Mat discusses the new film Alien: Covenant. He likes it, but feels they shouldn't make any more Alien prequels after this one; it makes for a dandy companion piece to Prometheus. Ray's been reading Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson, but finds it less interesting than Isaacson's book Steve Jobs. He's also trying to catch up on Homeland when time allows.
