Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

episode 133: PAN'S LABYRINTH: Episode 133: Where There are No Lies or Pain
WoHos!!
We talked so much about MEN that we had to break the pods into two parts. Although we make some passing references to MEN, this podcast is about Guillermo del Toro's 2006 classic, PAN'S LABYRINTH.

WoHos!!
We return to slashers and look at THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE from 1982 and ANATOMIE/ANATOMY from Germany. One of these might be called feminist and one of these...would not.
Mac and I had a great ol' ramble about springtime, the myth of expertise, sleepovers, pretty privilege, and wasted opportunities.

WoHos! The theme this time is "Loss of Innocence". We reviewed THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER from the US & THE INNOCENTS from Norway.
We enjoyed the exploration of the distance that grows between a child and parent during adolescence in THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER. Everyone can relate to that feeling, but thankfully only a few will ever know the horrifying reality our protag Tyler feels in THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER...

Was the Mac Effect (where Mac makes Mom like a movie less after the conversation) in effect, or was it the Mom Effect this time?
*Mac may disagree with this classification!

WoHos!
For the last main show of 2023, we look at two movies about vampires: SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE from the US and RIGOR MORTIS from Hong Kong.
Mom & Mac Chat: Names that drive up the wall, kids today, being too attached to our phone. Also, Mom is (Internet) autistic.
Mac liked SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE a whole lot because of the performances. Mom liked RIGOR MORTIS a lot because of the cool fight scenes and some of the folklore, confusing as it was...
