Mind Over Splatter
Dylan Ferguson, Sheldon Kilcullen, William O'Donnell and guests discuss, dissect, and debate horror movies. Each episode digs into a different subgenre, series, or style of flicks. We reappraise underseen or underrated gems, and (over-)analyze films from unusual angles. Sometimes we get into fights. Various expert guests will appear to provide context and vaunt their particular obsessions.

Episode 3
Dylan, Sheldon, and special guest Sean O'Rourke dissect big-killer-animal flicks from 1995-1999, including Anaconda, Deep Blue Sea, Lake Placid, and the profoundly insane Congo. We try to develop a theory of why there was a boom in big-budget natural-horror at that historical moment, discuss the unexpected writers behind these screenplays, and learn some surprising facts about real-life man-eaters.
