Just in time for Halloween (minus the "just in time" part), Reel Politik present their definitive guide to horror cinema, featuring a bountiful quantity of clips from films that aren't really horror in any sense. Sadly Laura had to prepare to give a talk, but Jack, Tom and Yair are all there to drop pearls of wisdom: on how Tom looks like Bashar Al Assad, how Tom loves U2, how Tom edited a really funny bit out of the episode (although that wasn't actually discussed as we weren't editing and recording simultaneously.)We talk about Mandy, Get Out, the Stepford Wives, the Halloween franchise, the Hannibal franchise, A Quiet Place, the Cronenberg and Carpenter catalogues, and other highlights of the genre. Plus we obviously discuss Jack's Twitter ban, as well as incipient fascism in Brazil. No, we do not think the two are comparable.
Part two of our conversation with Joe Kennedy and Trevor Bastard will be coming in the next week. Until then, subscribe to help our operations continue to expand @ www.patreon.com/reelpolitik
