186 - Tremors (1990) & The Host (2006) →

May 17, 2021 by Pod Sematary

CW: Suicide, Infanticide

It’s Subterranean Monster Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey make a goddamn plan to sell food by the river.

Read our afterthoughts for this episode here!

The Classic Film: Tremors (1990)
"Natives of a small isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one” (IMDb.com). Tremors is a television classic from our youth and we can't believe it's taken us this long to get to it. This valley is just one long smorgasbord!

The Modern Film: The Host (2006)
"A monster emerges from Seoul's Han River and begins attacking people. One victim's loving family does what it can to rescue her from its clutches” (IMDb.com). From the oscar-winning writer/director of Parasite, Bong Joon Ho's The Host was at one point the biggest movie to come out of South Korea, and you should definitely find out what the hype's all about.

081 - House (1985) & Stir Of Echoes (1999) →

April 22, 2019 by Pod Sematary

CW: Sexual Assault, Suicide, Ableism

It's Kevin Bacon wee--I mean It's another Haunted House week on Pod Sematary! This time, Chris and Kelsey are talking about two movies where a man is driven to madness by the spirits in his home, including a recommendation from listener Aaron!

The Classic Film: House (1985)
"A troubled writer moves into a haunted house after inheriting it from his aunt" (IMDb.com). Would you have guessed by this description that the movie was a comedy? We certainly didn't.

The Modern Film: Stir of Echoes (1999)
"After being hypnotized by his sister-in-law, a man begins seeing haunting visions of a girl's ghost and a mystery begins to unfold around him" (IMDb.com). Even though Kathryn Erbe's Maggie drives Chris up a wall, Kevin Bacon's great performance more than makes up for it.

Plus, another Supernatural Check-in!
