What makes a house haunted? Hi Mutts, join the Dogs as we dig into our newest episode and one of the strangest films ever directed with HOUSE (1977) directed by Nobuhiko Obayahsi and inspired by his 10-year-old daughter Chigumi Obayashi followed by an American movie of the same title HOUSE (1985) directed by Steve Miner. It’s not the ghosts that make these houses haunted but something a whole lot more ubiquitous. See ya soon mutts!

Move over Ant-Man: David and Rob are discussing the original shrinking Scott, of THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957). In director Jack Arnold and writer Richard Matheson’s scifi classic, a man exposed to stray radiation begins to steadily shrink, as his humanity is stripped away layer by layer. What makes a man, a man? We’re talking emasculation and the artificiality of the American Dream.
Meanwhile, jumping across the Pacific, GODZILLA (1954, a.k.a. GOJIRA) uses its kaiju to directly comment on the atomic bomb and its fallout. The Cadaver Dogs want to see how both America and Japan evolved and responded to the devastation that followed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The climactic ending of World War II changed the world forever… and unleashed a giant nuclear lizard monster upon Tokyo.

The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens, ended World War II, and initiated the nuclear arms race that continues to this day. Yet the world carried on. A decade later, how did both countries reckon with the ever-present fear of annihilation? How did they assign culpability? Could Americans really just return to a simple life of domestic bliss? Could Japan ever finish mourning the loss?

The Mother Shelley of all questions: who is the monster - the creature or the man who made them? Or, in this episode, who is the barbarian and who is the muse??
Looking back at two top films from the past year, the Cadaver Dogs examine how the post #metoo era is presented in horror… through a male perspective. Travis Stevens’ artistic film A WOUNDED FAWN (starring Josh Ruben of Werewolves Within and Scare Me) sends us to a time when the Furies were feared by all and muses used their sexuality to inspire artists. We analyze the presence of ancient myths today, focusing in on the #MeToo movement with men’s abuse of female artists, how the women reclaimed their power, and how the men are adjusting. Then, join us down in the tunnels for BARBARIAN (starring scream kings Bill Skarsgaard and Justin Long). Down here, we have cancel culture, Frankenstein’s monster, male fragility, and false redemption. All-in-all, what we really ask is: do male filmmakers have a right to tell these stories now? And, what do they mean? At Cadaver Dogs, we ask the hard questions and have the hard conversations, but it’s all fun down here - we have cookies! And t-shirts!

#MeToo changed the film industry, society, and of course, horror. Next month, the Dogs are diving yet again into gender politics to analyze men's response to #MeToo through horror films. How did male filmmakers represent gendered terror through their male leads and female monsters? Was it nuanced?

Are you really going to re-use those needles? That’s the question we ask in this episode of Cadaver Dogs podcast where we cover not one but two reboots of classic horror franchises. First up, EVIL DEAD (2013), the Fede Alvarez remake of the Sam Raimi Classic. Does the classic cabin turned demon rehab hold up to the original violent entry? Second, we chain ourselves up for HELLRAISER (2022), the 11th entry and newest reboot of the Clive Barker series. Do these reboots do justice to these 80s classics?
Hellraiser compares the pain of drug addiction to the highest highs of sensual sensation, and Evil Dead revisits possession using the metaphor of the overpowering effects of substance abuse. Listen to hear more!
