Welcome to the Horror Agenda. This week we're covering the 1998 Robert Rodriguez directed The Faculty. The story is by David Wechter & Bruce Kimmel with the screenplay by Kevin Williamson.
We talk conformity, high school hell, Robert Rodriguez and more.
In this episode we reference videos from the Robert Rodriguez Archive here. We reference two 1998 reviews of the Faculty, one from Vanity Fair by Dennis Harvey, and one from SFGate by Allan Ulrich. We also reference this BFI piece by Mark Salisbury about the pod people and the ways Invasion of the Body Snatchers has happened in various forms.
We also briefly discuss the forthcoming the Faculty remake, that as of January was happening.
This week Victor recommends Shifting Gears on ABC, a sitcom about a newly divorced mom moving back in with her father.
Carlos recommends the book Like Brothers by Mark and Jay Duplass. A book about their lives and their film making journey as brothers.
Carlos also recommends Flow (2024), a new animated film about a cat, who does all it can to survive a flood.
