Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society 29/09/2025: Lucy O'Brien: Duddington and Our Awareness of Others’ MindsABSTRACT What enables me to know that others exist?

I will suggest a way of understanding what it is to see minds in action. I will also argue that ways we stand to be affected by others offers a resource for knowing others that takes us beyond perception, and is one that constitutes an antidote to...

We're celebrating horror's biggest holiday and the first movie of our "Home Invasion" genre with a very special episode. So special, in fact, that this week Claire and Luce watched not one movie, but TWO: the French (and/or American) nightmare that is Martyrs.

Tell Me When It’s Over 29 - The Descent (2005)Spelunking in the dark caves of North Carolina? Squeezing yourself through tight passages and traversing underground chasms?? Going on a forced-fun girls trip and having to wake up early instead of sleeping in?!? It's a HARD NO on all those things!

Tell Me When It’s Over 27 - Jaws (1975)It's the 4th of July weekend in an American seaside town, the teens are drinking on an unpatrolled beach and the mayor has a jacket that screams "nautical chic with a side of small-town hubris" - what could possibly go wrong! This week is Shark Week, as Luce and Claire dive deep into their fears of the water with a Spielberg classic, Jaws.

Claire quickly had to throw out any preconceptions while grappling with the whiplash of Jerry Goldsmith's whimsical, warm soundtrack against a guy tearing his own face off. But did she think it was any good? Find out in this week's episode, where the house is DEFINITELY not clean.

Tell Me When It’s Over 18 - The Shining (1980)After a brief break, Luce and Claire are back from the dead (get it?) with a new sub-genre: GHOSTS! Claire wanted Patrick Swayze, but instead Luce chose an absolutely axe-through-the-door classic, The Shining. This week, we talk hauntings (both real, imagined and whatever poor Shelley Duvall went through), the auteurism of Kubrick and the joy of slowly opening a massive catering tin of fruit cocktail and glugging it out into a bowl.

Tell Me When It’s Over 17 - Drag Me to Hell (2009)Vomit! Orifices! Talking goats!

Tell Me When It’s Over 15 - The Blair Witch Project (1999)Grab your tissues and wipe your noses, it's time to look at another modern horror classic. This week we dig into the turn-of-the-millennium, "did they really wear those jeans" flick that had everyone afraid to go camping, The Blair Witch Project. Luce and Claire talk about the power of viral marketing in the pre-viral days, what it was like to watch a horror movie thinking it was real and what it's like to be almost a quarter of a century late to the cultural zeitgeist.

Tell Me When It’s Over 13 - The Exorcist (1973)Is The Exorcist the greatest occult film of all time? Was this the ONE horror movie that Lucy was never allowed to watch growing up?

Tell Me When It’s Over 12 - Rosemary’s Baby (1968)Nobody puts Rosemary’s Baby in the corner!

Tell Me When It’s Over 10 - Train to Busan (2016)In a twist this week, Claire picks one of her favourite movies and a zombie flick that Lucy hasn't seen: the sensational Korean film Train to Busan. You want perfectly choreographed fight scenes? Check! You want hunky beefcake role models showing us nuanced interpretations of fatherhood? Bingo! You want a totally unsolicited musical number and thoughts on train safety? We got 'em! Plus Lucy sheds light on why this movie tears your heart right out (but not in the way you expect). Busan!

Tell Me When It’s Over 8 - 28 Days Later (2002)Exactly how long does it take for society to totally crumble into oblivion after a zombie outbreak? Exactly two fortnights! This week, Claire chooses a harrowing Danny Boyle flick about a misfit band of survivors trying to make their way to safety a little less than a month after an outbreak takes down the population of London. But could it be that there are worse monsters out there than zombies? (Yes. The answer is yes.)

Tell Me When It’s Over 6 - Night of the Living Dead (1968)After surviving the slashers it's time for a new horror genre: Zombies! For the start of their foray into a terrifying new world of undead monsters, it's Claire's time to pick, and once again she has confused about five movies into one. So while she couldn't pick Richard Ramirez's "From Dusk 'Til Dawn" (is that a movie?) she's gone for the next best thing: the classic that arguably kicked it all off, George Romero's 1968 classic "Night of the Living Dead".

Tell Me When It’s Over 5 - Candyman (1992)It's time to bust out the urban legends. This week, Claire and Lucy dig into the world of the Candyman.
