Not for every show by any means but rather just to open the
door to different topics and films to explore. Many great horror films do not
fit into a box or a particular theme, sub-genre, or a notable person’s work.
Consequently if we just stuck to our format that we have used to date, we would
never touch on many films that all three of us and many of you find joy or
interest in.
We are very excited because it helps us narrow a show down
to a deeper (and at times richer) conversation. An easy example to use is
modern indie horror films with this format. We have already (spoiler but not
really) covered more than one in the first couple of shows we have recorded.
Without this format we would be left to do a show (maybe with a sequel show) to
cover specific titles we found notable and then be done with it. However, with
the “Monster Mash” format we now can explore a couple of modern indie horrors
each episode if we so feel inclined. Not to mention it keeps your hosts fresh
on doing the show. Having the liberty to each pick a film we want to cover
makes this a lot of fun. We are all exploring films we want to personally but it
is also keeping us from burning ourselves out. Covering multiple franchises every
month (many of which suck) can be a daunting chore if you let it become so. The
good news we are not!
PLEASE give us feedback on this experiment we are trying. We
are very excited about it and we hope you are as well but if you do not tell us
we will have no idea. The same goes for displeasure. We just find ourselves rejuvenated
with this and I will not speak for the other two (although I am sure they would
agree whole-heartedly) when I say that I love being able to go a little deeper
on these films we pick. A stand alone movie needs more than 5 or 6 minutes to
breeze through, especially when we have our reasons for picking them.
Thank you, as always for stopping by and opening your ears
to us!
