Hereditary is a spooky movie that is very good. If you like spookies then stop this podcast, don’t look up anything about “Hereditary” (2018) and just sit down to watch it. If you don’t like heebie jeebies then go watch Overlord in preparation for next week. If you find Nazi’s and WW2 scary then go back and listen to the Hot Rod episode since it’s the best movie so far.

This week the episode opens with a shocking twist and a production error within the first 45 seconds. Then the discussion shifts into a discussion on how the vampire mockumentary "What We Do in the Shadows" (2014) pays homage to various tropes of vampire lore and documentary filmmaking.
There are also several moments where my brain stops working that result in awkward pauses or segues so enjoy!

Zachary and Colbary discuss that very popular Marvel movie that just came out and made some major cheddar this past weekend. I'm writing this episode description despite the fact I wasn't included in the recording session since I didn't see the movie in time and needed to mow my lawn. Since I wasn't involved this is probably a terrible podcast episode but I don't know since I won't listen to it for a few more days. My understanding is there are SPOILERS discussed in this episode but of course there are, what else would they talk about?
"Yeah, there are impressive effects for sure. Fans of the genre will love it"
"I don't know if people who haven't seen all 68 prior films will understand everything that happens, but I loved it!"
"I just find it kind of cheap that they brought back X % of the dead characters but oh well."
"So are you excited for Ant Man 3?"

We open this week's episode with an interview with Michael John Fuller who served as a technical sound advisor on Christopher Nolan's film Dunkirk (2017) helping craft the ominous warning siren of the JU 87 Stuka dive bomber that haunted the film.
Following the interview we discuss how Hans Zimmer and the rest of the sound design team capture the unceasing anxiety, paranoia, and terror in Dunkirk (2017).

Susan Sontag said that "Camp discloses innocence, but when it can, it corrupts it." Perhaps no film corrupts innocence more than Turbo Kid (2015). In this episode, we explore what makes the film campy, and Jackson tries to make us believe that "the far-flung future" is an actual phrase.

“They’re in space and then they get like a transmission thing so they go down to this little planet. One of them gets this thing stuck to his face and they bring him back to the ship even though Ripley didn’t want to, and then that thing hatches a little chest monster and then that alien turns into an alien and it kills everybody, except her, and she escapes and then it’s with her and then…she, uh, kills it. The End.”
FSM focuses on how editing and sound design elevate tension in Alien (1979).

A Star is Born is a film built on chemistry. Chemistry between the leads, chemistry between each singer and the music, chemistry between the film and the audience. In today's episode, we analyze this chemistry and if it worked, or if it was combustible. Combustible. Chemistry. Characters. The three Cs of filmmaking.

Is it normal to weep a little bit when a toy cowgirl gets donated to charity, or a walking rectangle loses his wife? No, not it is not. It’s actually kind of pathetic. Regardless, in this episode we break down how Pixar has mastered the montage in Up (2009) and Toy Story 2 (1999).

“Son, you’ve got a panty on your head.” From accents, to costumes, to motivations, each of the characters in the Coen Brothers’ Raising Arizona warps expectations in some way to create a reality much different than ours.

Every great podcast consists of three parts or acts, the first act is called "The Pledge". The podcasts hosts promise the conversation will remain focused on the topic at hand. The second act is called "The Turn". At this point the podcast nearly gets derailed into a conversation about Lost (inarguably a top 5 TV show). The third act is called "The Prestige" (get it?), in this act the FSM crew discuss the art of misdirection and non-sequential storytelling in Christopher Nolan's 2006 film, The Prestige.

Music can be either diegetic (living in the world of the film, think music from a radio) or nondiegetic (existing outside of the reality of the film, your typical film score). But sometimes, music crosses from diegetic to nondiegetic. It exits the characters’ universe and enters ours, or vice versa. This is called Crossing the Fantastical Gap, and in this episode, the guys look at Reservoir Dogs and Apocalypse Now and how it works in specific scenes.

In this inaugural episode of Film Studies Minor, Zack, Colby, and Jackson introduce the concept of the show and jump into their analysis of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). The world has been crying out for more under-qualified film analysis by a roundtable of millennials, and this conglomerate of amateurs is here to provide just that. They focus on the creative use of sound that helped Fury Road route the Oscars, while picking up Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing.
