Psychoanalysis: A Horror Therapy Podcast

This week Mike is joined by Rachel Reeves (the Losers’ Club, The Pod & The Pendulum) and voice actor Sally Hourigan to talk about the viral sensation that danced into our hearts, M3GAN. We discuss how attachments formed in infancy influence our relationships throughout life, and how this film handles the sticky AI questions. Plus, the challenges of unexpected caregiving and Mike’s random thoughts when stuffed with cold medicine. It’s a rollicking good time. 

This week Mike is joined by Kay Lynch. She's the founder and program director of the Salem Horror Festival which is returning this April for two weekends in lovely, scenic Salem Massachusetts. Kay is on hand to talk about why the festival took a year off in 2022 and all the ways it plans on returning in bigger and better fashion this spring. We talk about the lineup and events as well as why it is so important for the festival to be a safe haven for queer persons, women, and trans artists. For listeners that wonder why we're talking about an event that 99% of you won't be able to travel to, have no fear, we do talk about the virtual component to the festival which will be announced shortly. In the meantime check out the links below where you can check out the program, the special events and purchase passes to the festival right now.  Salem Horror Main Page Salem Horror Fest Passes & Tickets Follow us on social media: Twitter: @PsychoAPod Instagram: The Psychoanalysis podcast Facebook: Psychoanalysis Podcast Support group If you really like the show, and want more of us, join our patreon for bonus shows and more content.

This week Mike is joined once again by Nichole Goble of the Bodies of Horror podcast to discuss the 1982 exploitation and cult classic Basket Case directed by Frank Hennenlotter. This movie is a look at the sleazy underbelly of early '80s New York City and a piece of classic Gore in Camp. It’s also a deeply empathetic movie about how we look at those that are different from ourselves. We talk about how the beauty in this movie lies in how it treats its subjects in a very humane way whereas others would disregard them as freaks. We talk about the strong bond and stronger tension between twins and talk about the stress that comes with being the person who needs the care and support of a caregiver. We discuss the unique stressors that come with that Dynamic and how it can often lead to tense battles between siblings. We keep it loose and we keep it real and we hope you enjoy this episode.

This week Mike is joined by Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana (Ghouls’ magazine, What A Scream pod, Moving Pictures Film Club) to talk about the 2022 psychological horror from Ireland “You Are Not My Mother.” Ygraine Discusses the deep roots in Irish folklore that this film contains as well as the effects of colonization in terms of how the world perceives Ireland in cinema and the arts. We explore the ways Irish traditions influence modern life. We discuss the difficulties that mental health challenges can have when it comes to motherhood and the fear that comes with knowing a parent or caregiver is not well. It's a wide-ranging discussion about one of the best unheralded gems of the horror genre over the past few years.

This week brings a new month and a new topic. What better way to kick off the topic of sibling rivalry with a classic of old world Hollywood that featured one of the most iconic feuds in movie history? Mike is joined by good friend Taffeta V (of the LATE podcast) to talk about WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? We discuss the real hatred between its stars Bette Davis & Joan Crawford, the burden of long term caregiving, the multitude of ways sibling rivalry rears its ugly head, and why Hollywood loves watching women of a certain age duke it out. We also explore the causes of sibling rivalry and discuss theories on birth order and personality development in our mental health section.

This week Mike is joined by Dan Pfleegor (Losers’ Club) and Nichole Goble (Bodies of Horror) to talk To West’s X. This mashup of Boogie Nights And The Texas Chain Saw Massacre gifts the world with two head turning performances from Mia Goth, while offering a surprisingly tender look at sex work and sexuality as we age. That it does so while also delivering a nasty slasher experience filled with gore and carnage just makes it all the better. We explore everything above and also discuss how rewatching this movie after checking out its surprise follow up Pearl helps deepen our experience and understanding of this one.  Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Psychoanalysis Patreon Music notes: "Infinite Perspective" by Kevin MacLeod "Long Note Three" by Kevin MacLeod "Emotion Picture" by Bill Ironfield Logo artwork by Jess Snively

This week, Mike talks about his favorite horror movie of all time when he discusses 1981’s An American werewolf in London, written and directed by John Landis. Once deemed “too funny to be scary and too scary to be funny” it went on to invent or at least refine the horror-comedy hybrid. This week he is joined by England’s own Rebecca McCallum of Ghouls magazine and the Moving Pictures Film Club to talk about their mutual love for this movie. We discuss the standout special effects created by Rick Baker, how the comedy and horror still hit 4 decades later, the mutual attraction between David and Alex, and also the queer overtones that permeate this film with the relationship of Jack and David. We also discuss the idea of othering and how it feels to be a stranger trapped in an unfamiliar territory in extraordinary circumstances. For our mental health topic this month we talk about new relationship energy and the many factors that go into why we're attracted to certain people. This was a fun one to record and if there's one thing Mike feels like he could talk about for days it's this movie. So beware the moon friends and stay off the moors because it's about to get all hairy up in here.

We’re kicking off bad romance and couples issues month with one of the greatest stories about a marriage going up in flames ever told. To try to relay the events of this movie is to grab madness itself by the horns. Rooted in his own acrimonious divorce, Polish director Andrez Zulawski’s POSSESSION tells the volatile, violent, and disturbing breakup of the marriage between Mark and Anna, played in spectacular fashion by Sam Neil and Isabelle Adjani respectively. But it's also so much more than that. It dives into cosmic horror in ways that are shocking and thrilling. Through the deployment of doppelgangers it explores how we try to excise the parts of our loved ones we dislike in order to mold a more perfect union. It mirrors the tensions of its setting-Cold War era West Berlin-while also incorporating modern dance into the movements of its characters in a way that adds depth and nuance to the story. There’s no way Mike could talk about this one on his own, so he’s brought out two good friends and great podcasters: Jessica Scott (We Who Walk Here) and TaffetaV (Late podcast). We get down and dirty with the details of this one, while also discussing the common factors in divorce and relationships ending.

This week Mike is joined by the wonderful Joe Lipsett (Horror Queers, Anatomy of a Scream podcast network) for a discomfort horror movie. We’re packing our tents and sleeping bags and heading to the English lakeside for the incredibly unpleasant EDEN LAKE. It’s hard to believe that this unsettling, gory little thriller gave rise to two massive stars with Michael Fassbender and Yellowstone’s Kelly Reily. We dive into the “hoodie horror” phenomenon and explore the conservative messaging that helped fuel the boon this subgenre enjoyed during the aughts. We also explore the class issues at play, the mental health effects of systemic poverty, the challenges of parenting unruly bastards of kids, and just why the kids seem so scary when we get old(er). Despite never wanting to watch even a single second of this movie again, Mike had a fantastic conversation with Joe that we hope you’ll enjoy.

During the height of lockdowns and uncertainty in the summer of 2020, a little movie hit Shudder. New movies hit the streaming service all the time, but this was a big deal because it was made during the pandemic with all its cast and crew sheltering in place. HOST was one of the few new movies we got during this period, and while it's firmly rooted in our fears and worries during this time, it gave fans something new to watch and discuss during a time when we desperately needed it. HOST tells the story of a group of friends that anger the spirit realm during a virtual seance. Mike has great company this week as he’s joined by guests Gena Radcliffe (KIll By Kill), Nichole Goble (Bodies in Horror), and Terry Mesnard (Scarred For Life, Gayley Dreadful) to talk about this movie and all the things WE did and the spaces we tried to fill in order to stay sane while locked down. From Animal Crossing marathons, backyards converted to cinemas, drunken script readings over zoom and so many more things we never thought we’d have to do, it was a wild time.

This week we have a very special episode as Mike is joined by director Andy Mitton (The Harbinger, yellowbrickroad, The Witch in the Window) to talk about his go-to slasher movie, Friday the 13th part 2. We talk about the gory days of renting R-rated movies and feeling like we were pulling fast ones on our parents, the joy and terror of Baghead Jason, ponder where Ginny lies in the pantheon of Final Girls and more. Andy also discusses his new movie, the absolutely terrifying THE HARBINGER. We discuss the challenges of filmmaking during COVID restrictions, the existential terror of the Plague Demon, and how to make nightmares feel unique and scary in modern horror.

It’s a new month and a new year, which means a brand new topic. As we enter the third year of living through the pandemic, Mike is joined by Jessica Scott and Rachel Reeves to talk about THE HARBINGER, the latest genre film written and directed by Andy Mitton (YellowBrickRoad, The Witch In The Window). We look at the earliest stages of living through COVID, back in 2020 when we were locked down due to shelter in place orders, and the fear and uncertainty of living through this unprecedented event. The Harbinger recreates the sadness, loneliness, and uncertainty of those times while adding new layers of terror with its plague demon. A warning to listeners, we get as personal as we can with this episode with our discussions on loved ones we’ve lost.

This week Mike and Lara are joined by Kyle Orozovich for the perfect Halloween comfort watch,  Shaun of the Dead. This 2004 British horror comedy was at the forefront of the early aughts zombie revival. Yet where films like Dawn of the Dead and 28 days Later were grounded and self-serious, Shaun of the Dead, delivered a metric ton of laughs to go over all along with some fantastic effects and gross out visuals. Shaun gifted the world the wonderful performances of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Sean and Ed to slacker 20 somethings that need a good kick in the pants in the form of the zombie apocalypse to get them to finally grow up. Or at least to get one of them to grow up.

This week Mike and Lara tackle another patron’s choice with Noriko’s Dinner Table. This early 2000s Japanese horror film is a master class in psychological horror as it explores two young sisters experiencing loneliness after getting pulled into a cult. While the intentions of the cult seem pure, their actions lead to horrific murder and mass suicide. Patron Holly joins us to talk about why she chose this movie and how much it impacted her as a young adult. For our mental health discussion we examine how cults and fundamental groups lure unsuspecting persons and prey on the lonely and vulnerable.

On June 30th four podcasters set out to break down the greatest horror movie ever made. What happened to them is tragic, even more so because they were young. This fifth Thursday Jenn, Lara and Mike are taking a much needed break. For listeners of both shows, this is a double dip as Mike is presenting the uncut version of his latest Pod and the Pendulum episode. Along with regulars Brian Keiper, Devaughn Taylor and guest Nichole Goble, Mike tackles Tobe Hooper’s classic from top to bottom. From an exploration to the social, economic, and political climate that influenced the making of the film; to reimagining the stench, sweat and bloodshed that went on in front of and behind the scenes; tackling whether Franklin is annoying or misunderstood; to why this holds up almost fifty years later; no armadillo is left unturned. So grab yourself a bowl or beefy, meaty chili and settle in for a hell of a road trip. Be sure to go to www.podandthependulum.com for our complete archives of nearly 150 episodes.
