The '00s Zone
This is a podcast that looks back at the movies of the '00s, and tries to make sense of that seemingly culturally faceless first decade of the new millennium. It's hosted by screenwriter, filmmaker, and sometimes critic Mark Palermo (Detention) and actor Loretta Yu (Blood and Water, Diggstown). Sometimes there are guests (also of some renown).

We’re joined by writer Lauren Messervey to look back at THE RING, the 2002 American remake that introduced J-horror to mainstream America. Then we argue about Gaspar Noé’s controversial New French Extremity shocker IRREVERSIBLE and discover the true meanings of art and crime.
Also: Von Trier, Chinese vampires, and how horror can empower.
