Check out the second episode of The Brood, focused on the genre of body horror. Because of various storms in the Midwest and East Coast and some microphone problems, Letitia's sound was a bit fuzzy, but the episode is so good, you won't even notice!

In case it was difficult to hear, see below for the Nurse Forsythe monologue from the movie "Shivers" discussed at the beginning of the show:
Nurse Forsythe: Roger, I had a very disturbing dream last night. In this dream I found myself making love to a strange man. Only I'm having trouble you see, because he's old... and dying... and he smells bad, and I find him repulsive. But then he tells me that everything is erotic, that everything is sexual. You know what I mean? He tells me that even old flesh is erotic flesh. That disease is the love of two alien kinds of creatures for each other. That even dying is an act of eroticism. That talking is sexual. That breathing is sexual. That even to physically exist is sexual. And I believe him, and we make love beautifully.
Movies discussed in this episode:
Shivers/They Came From Within
From Beyond
Bad Biology
In My Skin/Dans ma peau
Sick

Welcome to the very first episode of The Brood, a podcast devoted to a thoughtful and critical discussion of the horror genre in film. In this first episode, Josh, Letitia, and Chris discuss what horror is as a genre (or if it is a genre at all), why horror matters, our first experiences with horror films, and what is upcoming for the show.
Tune in next month for our first themed episode, when we will discuss the sub-genre of body horror. We'll be posting links and a list of the films we'll discuss a bit closer to airdate.
Enjoy!
