Enter the dark and twisted world of the film industry in the ‘90s with the Netflix miniseries Brand New Cherry Flavor.  Seen through a neo-noir lens by creators Nick Antosca and Lenore Zion, this adaptation of the novel by Todd Grimson is a purely sadistic story of vengeance and dark witchcraft.

Along with me on this ride through bizarre violence is none other than my guest Clare Wright! Clare is avid horror fan, film school grad, and a fashion aficionado, who runs a social media page dedicated to monthly deep dives into different subgenres of standout films.

We talk about our admiration for mutual friend and horror content creator Amber (@hornbloodfire) , I quiz Clare on her Letterboxd top picks, what makes Roy Hardaway the perfect love interest, Giallo films’ fashion, our mutual hate for genre gatekeepers, and much more!
