With scary movie season under way we continue our "Communicating Fears in Film" spotlight theme. Host Garret Castleberry is joined by Kyle Hammonds to analyze the spooky movie hall-of-fame fan-favorite, 1988's Beetlejuice, and its juggernaut legacy sequel in 2024's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Each movie is directed by Tim Burton and features standout comedic performances by Michael Keaton. The hosts further the relatively new "Filmic Echoes" methodology, and make the case for why the director's return to original content retrieves an authenticity to Burton's craftsmanship that may have disappeared in recent years.

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Roundtable FinaleIn this Season Seven Finale, Garret Castleberry hosts a leadership quorum comprised of students completing the Special Topics in Media Studies course emphasizing "Communicating Fears in Film". To facilitate a roundtable discussion on season seven, contributors were provided a set of course-related prompts to prepare for a hybridized media production/oral final. While every response or answer holds value, our LIVE roundtable special does represent an abridged attempt to spotlight high points closely linked to their course experiences. Ultimately, we consider the episode a "director's cut" finale that provides formal closure--while also leaving the door open to future opportunities--to t...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Post-Season Reflexive SpecialFollowing this Season Seven focus on Communicating Fears in Film, cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry pause to reflect on the season, examine course themes, and assess past and future potentialities for Special Topics in Media. In an homage to academic form, the dialogic duo engage in a bit of scholarly form that includes reviewing season seven's themes (00:54), the methods used to engage media analytically (7:42), a classical practice of peer review (23:21), an examination of formal arrangements aptly titled revise and resubmit (29:50), and finally Garret and Scott consider scholarly gaps (36:38) that recalls content left on the curriculum design cutting room fl...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Eastern Othering, Part 3 - Gremlins (1984)It is the end of the road for the Eastern Othering focus, as well as the course-centered discussion series in this Communicating Fears in Film season of Special Topics in Media. Coinciding with the cult cinema 80s emphasis on Eastern Othering, cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry investigate the ways in which director Joe Dante's 1984 feature film Gremlins mixes and mingles between comedy and horror, benefits from the Spielbergian rub, and anticipates future anti-Christmas movies while unmistakably celebrating the season just as it critiques the monstrous side of consumer capitalism. As with their Red Dawn coverage, the dialogic duo...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Eastern Othering, Part 2 - Big Trouble in Little China (1986)Continuing the Eastern Othering unit for this Communicating Fears in Film season of Special Topics in Media (5:18), cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry examine a second consecutive cult film from the 1980s, John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China. While Carpenter's feature was distributed by 20th Century Fox in 1986, the project lingered in development for years. These tales of storytelling influence provide a rich preproduction backstory (11:16), while also setting up a second conversation this season concerning Carpenter's horror oeuvre (see S7, E10 focus on astrophobia and adaptation in The Thing). The dialogic duo express favor for Big Trouble while a...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Eastern Othering, Part 1 - Red Dawn (1984)In this episode, Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry initiate what could be considered the least identifiable "horror" entry to date in this "Communicating Fears in Film seventh season of Special Topics in Media. The dialogic duo venture into a fifth theme, "Eastern Othering", and inaugurate this topic with an unconventional selection, director John Milius's alternate history domestic war feature, Red Dawn (1984). In a fun twist, the cohosts diverge in their preference for the feature (11:02), with Garret defending the film's allegorical potency and relatable small-town Rocky Mountain setting just as Scott takes umbrage with Red Dawn's incoherence narrative trajectory and unr...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Nightmarish Nature Special - The Mist (2007)This week Special Topics in Media expands discussion of Nightmarish Nature by welcoming special guest new voice to the program, Hannah Herron. An author and and avid reader of horror, thrillers, and sci-fi, Hannah joins Garret to discuss director three-time Academy Award nominee Frank Darabont's 2007 adaptation of the Stephen King novella, "The Mist". Garret and Hannah discuss Darabont's screenwriting career behind numerous horror projects, including sequels (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, 1987; The Fly II, 2989), remakes (The Blob, 1988), adaptation (Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, 1994), as well as his elevation to auteur director helming a trio of Stephen King projects.

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Nightmarish Nature, Part 3 - Contagion (2011)Rounding out our formal trilogy of "Nightmarish Nature" films in this Communicating Fears in Film season of Special Topics in Media, cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry collaborate on on a unique outlier to the (mostly) horror focus with a biological thriller from director Steven Soderbergh in 2011, Contagion. Shot in Soderbergh's frequent handheld, close up-heavy fashion, Contagion anticipates with deadly realism the effects of a deadly global pandemic that functions as an eerily prescient harbinger to the real-world novel coronavirus that laid siege to much of the developed world in 2020. The dialogic duo initiate investigation recognizing alternative bio-terror films i...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Nightmarish Nature, Part 2 - Tremors (1990)Special Topics in Media continues its trek into "Nightmarish Nature" in our Communicating Fears in Film season with a exploration of director Ron Underwood's cult classic Tremors (1990). Cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry unpack origins both filmic and ephemeral as this southwestern creature feature horror-comedy from Universal Studios occupies a unique space in cinema history. The dialogic duo delve deep into the collaborative industry practices that help make Tremors a film that is on one hand disposable while on the other hand unforgettable. From the script's construction (21:53) to its lineage in the buddy-action era (25:25), the hosts situate a cultural c...

After an unscheduled hiatus in programming to usher in the New Year (while preparing for the new spring semester!), cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry RETURN with a transitional film conversation that bridges our previous focus on "Astrophobia" with a new emphasis this month, "Nightmarish Nature". Continuing season seven's sprawling topic "Communicating Fears in Film", the dialogic duo take aim with an eerily troubling thriller from "the master of suspense" Alfred Hitchcock, 1963's The Birds. The team comes firing out of the gates with an examination of Hitchcock's brazen shifts between filmmaking and e...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Astrophobia, Part 3 - Signs (2002)In part 3 of the "Astrophobia" discussion series to the Communicating Fears in Film season of Special Topics, cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry jump ahead fifty years from recent coverage of 50s sci-fi chillers to discuss and dissect M. Night Shyamalan's blockbuster homage to Hitchcock, Signs (2002). The dialogic duo struggle with words (more Garret than Scott), either by intention or by design, while putting together a respectful defense of Shyamalan's auteur contributions to film history (7:20). With a cultural contextualization of for the director and film in place, the hosts place this film within an astrophobia narrative framework (23:49). Scott shifts f...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Astrophobia, Part 2 - It Came from Outer Space (1953)Still reeling from last week's calamitous "Thing-off!" double-feature, the dialogic duo dare to stare into the abyss once more in their continuation of the "Astrophobia" unit for this "Communicating Fears in Film" season of Special Topics. Crossing the mid-point of season 7, cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry examine another key fixture of 1950s science fiction cinema, director Jack Arnold's It Came from Outer Space (1953). Their examination includes a close reading of the text (12:18) mixed with a sprinkling of this season's analytic focal points, including Hollywood's experimental 3D phase (19:43), the return of the theramin (20:21), and a conversation about dualistic tensions...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Astrophobia, Part 1 - The Thing from Another World (1951)Blasting off into the upper atmosphere of film discussion, cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry ignite their third unit focus for season seven of Special Topics in Media. This new unit carries over some trends from the previous unit, Cold War Creatures, but settles in on a focused fear of things from above, or as Stephen Prince calls it, "Astrophobia". The dialogic duo tackle concurrent themes relating to Astrophobia first with a primary focus on director Christian Nyby's (but also Howard Hawks') science fiction classic The Thing from Another World (1951), while also putting this film in conversation its remake, J...

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Cold War Creatures, Part 3 - Them! (1954)Rounding out the third part of our unit emphasis on "Cold War Creatures", cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry rev up their affection for Atomic Age allegories with director Gordon Douglas's 1954 classic, Them! The film experienced waves of praise among critics and moviegoers, followed by decades of broad audience obscurity, and then resurgent cult reverence over time. The dialogic duo explore Them!'s use of distinct desert mise en scene and how it functions in opposition to seafaring creature features ranging from Ray Harryhausen's The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (Eurgene Lourie, 1953) to previous discussion of Ishiro Honda's Godzilla (1954) (5:25).

Special Topics in MediaCommunicating Fears in Film: Cold War Creatures, Part 2 - Godzilla (1954)Traveling deeper into the second unit emphasis on "Cold War Creatures", cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry pivot away from Universal movie monsters to examine the alpha creature feature Asian import, Gojira! Setting a cinema standard for what would become the Kaiju sub-genre, Ishiro Honda's Godzilla (1954) functions as an allegorical post-war pandora's box in relation to its focus on nuclear testing in the Atomic Age. The dialogic duo tackle the allegorical and mythological functions of the original Japanese edit of the film (5:40) while exploring the depths of its ensemble performances. The hosts also examine how the film visualizes a...

Cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry close out their focus on the era of Universal's classic movie monsters with a leap forward into 1950s science fiction-horror. Kicking off their month-long examination of sci-fi/horror, the dialogic duo blend classical conventions with primal monster inventions in a close reading of director Jack Arnold's Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).

The hosts peek into H. G. Wells' source material novel as well as subtle influences connected to Universal's growing catalog of suspense-thriller and classic monster movies (3:58). This leads to a conversation about cultural context that elevates The Invisible Man as a commentary on class difference in the early twentieth century, and the relationship between class and power in the literary tradition (17:00). Whale's feature sparks d...

Adapted from Mary Shelly's 1818 novel Frankenstein; Or, the Modern Prometheus, Universal Studios solidified their "Classic Monster Movie" formula (2:10) with this second feature that released later in the same year audiences came out to screen Bela Lugosi portray Dracula. Along the way, Scott and Garret assess the ebb and flow of horror's cultural popularity in the early twentieth century (3:00), the role(s) involved in Frankenstein's adaptation (6:27), Universal's recurring...
