Welcome to Not Scared: A Horror Movie Podcast, where I talk people about their favorite horror movies and why they are special.
In this episode, I talk to two childhood besties, cinephiles Matt Epp and Jenni Schofield, at the same time, discussing our collectively-favorite director and his unique remake Suspiria (2018). Unfortunately we all forgot to get degrees in psychology and European history before we recorded, so this is less of an analysis and more of a conversation about a kickass film. We cover comparisons to the 1977 Dario Argento original, where this movie fits in director Luca Guadagnino’s European films, why Dakota Johnson actually rules, and how watching physical media has changed over the last decade. Ah, Lacan!
