The gang tackles Ridley Scott's 1979 classic Alien. The podcast's audience had a chance to vote on what genre the last movie would come from in our chapter on Horror's Versatility. Sci Fi was chosen, and of course, it had to be Alien.

We discuss our experience with the franchise, what kind of lens we used during this viewing, our favorite scenes, the variety of genre from each franchise entry, Ripley, and our perception of the movie's theme.

The guys rely on their reactions and feelings to get through this analysis of the 2022 movie Skinamarink. This is the Experimental portion of the Horror Versatility chapter, as chosen by Tin Man and KMax. Mr Vozly relates the movie to an art installation or video art rather than a traditional movie. As always we discuss our initial reactions, but we also discuss the ideas of jump scare vs dread vs discomfort with examples from this movie. We work together this time to piece together our interpretations of the theme.

The second movie in the Horror's Versatility chapter comes from 2020's The Wolf of Snow Hollow, written, directed, and starring Jim Cummings. This represents horror's reach into the crime/thriller genre (and maybe more?).

The guys talk about the movie's effectiveness as genre, and how effective watching with different lenses is. We also individually break down what we thought the theme was, pulling from specific examples from the movie. Different perspectives, different perceptions.
