In this episode of Pop Culture Weekly, we’re diving into two very different but equally fascinating corners of pop culture: sharp social body horror satire and good old-fashioned horror mayhem as Kyle McMahon is joined by Scared to Death horror legends Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley and Slanted's writer / director Amy Wang and stars Shirley Chen, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan & Amelie Zilber.
First up, Kyle sits down with the stars and creators of the bold new film Slanted. Joining him are Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever), Amelie Zilber, Shirley Chen, and writer/director Amy Wang. They talk about how the film uses biting satire to explore identity, race, and the kinds of uncomfortable conversations that the best art refuses to avoid.
Then we head straight into horror territory with two absolute legends. Bill Moseley (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House of 1000 Corpses) and the incomparable Lin Shaye (Insidious, Kingpin) join to talk about their new horror-comedy Scared to Death. They get into their incredible careers, why audiences can’t get enough of monsters and the emotional truth that makes a great horror movie stick with you long after the credits roll.
It’s thoughtful, funny, a little creepy and there are definitely a few fanboy moments along the way.
