Interview with Filmmaker Chris Peckover (Better Watch Out)

Joining the podcast today is Chris Peckover, the director of the 2016 Christmas horror-comedy movie Better Watch Out. This program had actually devoted a whole episode to that suspenseful and grimly funny ride last holiday season, so it’s only fitting for Chris himself to finally hop into the guest seat. An alternate career path that Chris could have taken, the racist and xenophobic violence of anti-immigrant attitudes, the incel mindset, dark comedy being an important aspect of horror, and what Chris has been working on post-Better Watch Out emerge as some of the talking points for this episode.Spoilers for Better Watch Out start at 26:15Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere’s how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere’s how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineChris’s Good Word: TaskmasterReach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
