Hi Ladies! I am very happy to see Haneke get some attention. And in general I agree with your analysis (and most of the comments here), but I have to say that I think a greater knowledge of Hanek...

Hey guys! New fan here. I recently graduated from UNCW with a BA in film studies/production, and part of the reason I went to film school was due to my love for horror. Just yesterday I found thi...
First time leaving a comment. I've been listening to the podcast for over two years, and have loved almost everything you both have discussed. I do have one small critique, though. What about "Tu...
What no love for Night of the Creeps?

Love the show as always, but I’m halfway into the “Young Frankenstein “ coverage and the “Frau Blücher” (whinneeeee!) mispronunciation is driving me slowly mad! I’d be interested in ...
Would you ever do an episode about Scream/IKWYDLS/some other nineties film? Love your podcast but miss the days when it featured more movies I've seen.

As usual I enjoyed your podcast immensely. I will certainly look up the dialogue on hospitality. I would like to give you a German perspective on a few cultural aspects of the movie that might ha...

I was a little dissapointed that the effect the movie "Jaws" on our view of sharks in general had, was not mentioned. Now I know this is not a podcast about nature or eco-themes in general but I ...

You touched on this lightly, but I thought it was worth expanding on. Before Psycho, whatever was showing (Typically a couple of cartoons, a 20-30 minute serial, then the main feature) ran on a l...
I thought I'd read that Danny McBride the actor is not the same person as Danny McBride the writer of the new Halloween. IMDb says otherwise, and now you two as well. I'm so confused!
Have you ladies seen "Eyes of Fire" from the '80s? It has a very similar vibe to The VVitch and I would recommend it as a companion watch. It's hard to find, but it's on Youtube in its entirety i...

I hadn't much considered the difference in what the mother is wearing between the two versions until now--but once you brought it up, my instinctive thought was Naomi Watts showing more skin and ...

Hi, I am glad that you are discussing a movie by one of my favorite directors. I waited a long time for this, but since you are the "faculty of horror" and want to educate people a few annotation...

The biggest problem i have with Haneke's American remake was the casting of Watts and Roth. Both appear a lot younger and smaller then their Austrian counterparts. The American victims didn't see...

I will make this quick and brief. I just want to say I thoroughly enjoy the Faculty of Horror, you and your co-host have a great rapport with each other, and I thoroughly enjoy your insightful di...

The cultural cringe that you kept mentioning is not mainstream Australia it is the Universities and Social media platforms so really disappointing that you kept repeating it. An interesting take ...
I'm not sure where you got a lot of you're information from in regards to the Australian cultural cringe but it sounds like the minority view held in some Universities that has a loud Social medi...

Another great episode. I feel the same way you both do about EH. The synopsis sounds like the film wouldn't work, but it kind of does. I saw EH when it was released and it's always been a film th...

Hi, I listened to this one last night and the issue of the wrong upload remains. I'm also using pocketcasts.
