We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. We talk about Enys Men, the Dead Ringers series, Star Wars: Rebels, Justin talks about the recent West Coast road trip and reading Adam Nevill’s Some Will Not Sleep, as well as hanging out with Carly from the Final Girls Horrorcast in LA and fellow Cinepunk Evan Vallela in Portland, as well as attending the McMinnville UFO Festival. Up first is Frankenhooker. Justin talks about how it didn’t hit the same way that Henenlotter’s previous work did, due to mostly a lack of any sort of deeper messaging and a sort of “try hard” attitude on Henenlotter’s part. We discuss the concept of the film as a possible work of feminism, even if Henenlotter wasn’t intending to do so. Th
