Episode 58: Snack Break

What movies do the Women In Caskets disagree on? What do they watch on TV when not covering horror? What horror movie(s) do they think should be remade?

These are a few of the questions that have been asked along the way and Dawn and Jen think it's high time they do something about that. So tune in, won't you, as they take a little snack break from the norm and answer your questions as well as cover a few odd ends that haven't made it into full podcasts yet.

Think of it as that last run to the concession stand before the movie starts.

Episode 57: Through the Black Mirror

Love. War. Guilt. Hatred. Fear. Vengeance. Technology.

Since 2011, Black Mirror has been, in our humble opinion, the pinnacle of using technology, science fiction, and horror to delve deep into what makes humanity tick and how the human condition can be so easily twisted and manipulated. So obviously, we're gonna gush all over it in a super-sized episode!

Join Jen and Dawn as they take a look at the reflections of five of Black Mirror's best episodes: Fifteen Million Credits, White Bear, White Christmas, San Junipero and Men Against Fire.

"Heaven is a Place On Earth" by Belinda Carlisle.

Now the show notes (so many show notes this week):

• For a list of local Houston-area charities you can donate to, see THIS ARTICLE on Houstonia.
• To support Life After Hate (the organization reaching out to white supremacists that was recently stripped of its funding by the Trump administration) go HERE.
• The TED talk by Megan Phelps-Roper, a former member of the Westboro Baptist Church, is HERE.
• And last but not least, that Extra Credits episode on Sesame Credit is HERE. Because it's from 2015, here's a 2017 article on it from CNBC HERE.

For a bonus, as Dawn was pulling clips for this episode, she stumbled across an excellent video essay on Men Against Fire that really delves into the de-humanization process on display. That video is by Alix Guichard and it's on YouTube HERE.

So You Don't Have To (Patreon Special Edition): Jaws 3

The marine biology is all wrong, the dolphins are smarter than the humans, and the control room is from an entirely different movie, but all of that pales in comparison to awful, terrible, and absolute BOREDOM experienced by Jen and Dawn as they're forced to watch Jaws 3D (in 2D). 

Spoilers: It's actually Jurassic Park at Sea World. No really. It totally is.

The Women In Caskets would like to extend the most heartfelt of thanks to Preston, who paid for this episode by donating to our Patreon. Preston, we never would have done this without you. Seriously, we never would have seen this if you hadn't forced our hand.

Episode 56: Live from ArmadilloCon 2: Reality Bites

Recorded Live at ArmadilloCon in Austin, TX!

The Women in Caskets try to make sense of all those horror movies featuring, "Based on a True Story," in their title cards. From films that bear only a passing semblance to their source to somewhat faithful adaptations, serial killers to killer animals, and the truly gutsy ones that just made it all up and pretended it was real, it's a master list of the real-life macabre. 

The full list of films mentioned and their trailers can be found in our episode playlist on YouTube HERE.

Stuff You Missed In History Class did an episode on two of the killers mentioned (and probably more): Mary Ann Cotton and Sawney Beane. Check them out!

And one correction: Dawn mis-identified the plaintiff in the Warren litigation. The Warrens didn't bring the lawsuit, Gerald Brittle, author of a book on the Warrens, did, claiming that the Warrens gave him exclusive rights to their stories and all derivative works coming out of them. Warner Bros. et al claim the movies are based on historical records and therefore available for free use. Brittle countered that the Warrens made it all up, making the works fiction and therefore - you know what, it's kinda hysterical to read it all, look it up sometime.

Episode 55: The Raw Eyes of My Mother

Jen and Dawn sink their teeth into two movies that wowed them at Fantastic Fest 2016: Raw and The Eyes of My Mother. Both feature women struggling with their internal demons, dysfunctional families, and what it means to be whole and they do it by focusing wholly on the women at the center of their macabre tales. Haunting and visceral, together they are an interesting mix of stress, tension and dread while tackling very different problems: internal and external.
