A DAY & FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES: Episode 173: Trying to Defy Fate! Artwork

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

WoHos!

This week Mac & I discuss two films that are about Trying to Defy Fate. We looked at the South Korean film A DAY/HARU and FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES from the US. A DAY involves trying to escape a tragic time loop, and FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES involves trying to escape death. One of these films is successful.

On the next main show, Mac & I will discuss "Feel Good Fall Films" with THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS & KPOP DEMON HUNTERS.

Coming up, we have a Bonus Show with Chrissy Champagne from RESIDUE: A TRUE CRIME PODCAST, more Feel Good Fall Films, and a show on IN MY SKIN from France & THE SUBSTANCE from the US.

Thank you for all your support! It Means the World of Horror to us, truly!

By the way, if you happen to listen to us on PocketCast or any other app besides Spotify, we'd love it if you left us 5 stars and a review.
