This week in podcasting.

The latest series of Get Me Another just began and this time, they’re gonna be looking at the films that followed in the wake of Fatal Attraction. I don’t wanna claim that this had something to do with the Letterboxd list I made some time ago, but I totally will anyway because this is too damn impressive to be chalked up to mere coincidence.

Speaking of serendipity between me and the podcasts I listen to, one of the most recent episodes of the podcast Colors of the Dark - who, sometime ago, did an episode that inspired me to create my many ‘horror Oscars of the (insert decade here)’ posts - saw the hosts casting their ballots for the works of the 2000s. All told, it was a rather disappointing listen. The Descent. The House of the Devil. Let the Right One In. Jennifer’s Body. Drag Me to Hell. Ad nauseum. (I know this was the remake era, but good God, there were other movies that came out in that time.) The boner for the latter was particularly disturbing. Even now, I can’t possibly see how I’m able to derive entertainment value in rooting against a young woman who wants nothing more but to improve her station in life and for an ancient Karen that could’ve easily solved her own problems ages ago without having to damn an innocent soul to hell. (Though the lead actress’s fervent support of a certain blithely destructive asshole does go some ways to making her character as unlikable as we’re apparently supposed to find her to be.) Another podcast bites the dust.

And sadly, Best Movies Never Made is still MIA. I really miss those guys.
