Peninsula

We conclude our South Korean zombiefest with a conversation about Yeon Sang-ho’s followup to Train to Busan, PENINSULA. In the scope of world-building, it’s a great concept. Unfortunately, some of the characters don’t work well, the story’s sloppy, and the effects are terrible. It has its moments, but largely it’s a disappointment. Still, it makes for a great conversation! Tune in!

Slumber Party Massacre (2021) • Member Bonus

We return to the Slumber Party Massacre series for our February 2023 member bonus episode. That’s right, we’re talking about Danishka Esterhazy’s 2021 remake/reboot ‘Slumber Party Massacre.’ It’s a ton of fun as a parody and revisioning of the original films. They’re all clearly having fun with this. They even throw in references to other great horror films and franchises. But does the parodying nature of this diminish the feminist approach? Do you need to have seen the previous films? Or does it stand strong as-is? Tune in!
