This week! The Dames are kicking off Spooky Movie Season with a deep dive into the evolution of horror, especially in the later years. From the Satanic Panic of the 70s and 80s to the social justice films of today, we explore all the things we love about modern horror movies, with a little bit of classic appreciation thrown in for good measure.
We also spend a little bit of time discussing Neon's elitist release strategy of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Memoria: https://twitter.com/IndieWire/status/1445403907161792523
