124 - Double Feature - Suspiria (1977 & 2018) →

February 17, 2020 by Pod Sematary in Best of 2020

Best of 2020 - #6 Suspiria (1977)

Read our afterthoughts for this episode here! 

It’s a double feature week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey finally discuss the Dario Argento classic, Suspiria, and it's not-a-remake remake!

The Original: Suspiria (1977)
"An American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders” (IMDb.com). This movie should really be seen more than discussed, but we're doing it anyway!

The Remake: Suspiria (2018)
"A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up” (IMDb.com) To paraphrase Kelsey, the Suspiria remake is a beautiful crust with a raw filling. Is that a good thing? Listen and find out!

006 - The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1970) & The House Of The Devil (2009) →

November 13, 2017 by Pod Sematary

In this episode, Chris and Kelsey discuss two "great" films, including Kelsey's potentially unpopular opinion about Dario Argento's first major film, and giallo classic, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970). She makes up for it with the delightfully nostalgic The House of the Devil (2009), written, directed, and edited by Ti West.
