Thanksgiving (2023)
from Fear of the Dark · host staceyabaran
In this seasonal holiday-inspired episode, Matthew and Stacey fight over a waffle iron at the Black Friday sale (disclaimer: no one actually got hurt)... Join us today as we discuss Eli Roth's 2023 slasher film, Thanksgiving, based on the fictitious trailer originally advertised in Grindhouse (Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, 2007). We talk about the corporate phenomenon of Black Friday, the film as an homage to the slasher genre (is it though?), and where Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, 2002; Hostel, 2005) fits into today's horror mediascape. Film: Thanksgiving (Eli Roth, 2023) Intro Music: “The Army of You” (Library of Congress Free Music Archive) Outro Music: “Late Night Indigo” (written and performed by Stacey Baran) Fear of the Dark is a film podcast about race and horror, hosted by Matthew Vernon and Stacey Baran.
