Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast

Charmingly outdated-by-1981-standards practical effects, wild borrowings from the best of recent and distant masterpieces of influence, and maybe a pinch of the ol' booger sugar informed this revered Italian director's take on the supernatural something set in 1980 New Orleans for reasons not fathomable, but from a fathomableness of The Beyond! That's right, the year was 2024, the medium was a podcast, and the rss feed was Loathsome Things: A podcast for horror movie fans who don't expect too much from their podcasts!

Welcome to the Neo-French Extremity? New French Post-Extremity? Who can say? It's a really rad zombie movie about youthful, drug-fueled sex and paranoia, poor parenting, and a very strange relationship with authority... or is it? Enter one of the top 5 greatest zombie movies of all time. Possibly THE greatest? I don't know. It's Loathsome Things: a high production value storytelling podcast known to cause constipation and diarrhea in child and dogs under 10 years of age.

Not actually about Brian De Palma's female siblings, this film is instead about Brian De Palma weird, hazy, perhaps deeply subconscious feelings about white women, their role in society, their capabilities as functional humans, and the role that black men play in his feelings. Also, it's a Hitchcockian something-or-other in a decidedly pre-masterpiece phase of Brian's directorial development. Call it De Palchcockian. Anyway, it's actually a pretty enjoyable flick most of the time, and warms our very specific cockles due to its precursoriness to Basket Case, a film especially beloved by Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast you can turn to for sound financial and lifestyle expertise.

Is it folk horror? Is it Babadookie? Is it sci-fi? We're not really sure from whence this sub-step monster was spawned, but we know we mostly liked it with a few quabbles.

This film is a strong recommend from us. Enjoy a uniquely splatterific experience! Rodrigo Aragão is from Espirito Santo, Brazil. His father was a magician and cinema owner. Rodrigo was influenced by The Empire Strikes Back and Evil Dead. He worked as a make-up effects artist in the 90s until he started with his own horror play, Mausoleum, and then started directing short films, then premiered his first feature film, Mud Zombies, in 2008. He just became one of our favorite gory movie directors, thanks to this gem.
