Chopping It Up
A podcast discussing horror movies both new and old. Together, we will compare and contrast two horror movies, connecting them via various through lines including themes, tropes, motifs, actors, and sub genres, among other similarities. The goal is to explore the evolution of the horror genre, and to compare and contrast how these films interact with each other, and where they sit in the cinematic landscape. Each episode we’ll cover everything including remakes, sequels, reimaginings, and reboots of classic films, from slasher flicks to vampire movies to zombie movies to Lovecraftian films to monster movies to psychological horror to just about anything else you can think of.
