Bodies // Summer of Horror // Befuzzled kings

Joining Alice Fraser this week is the mighty Tom Neenan (The Mash Report, The Hauntening).

The subgenre deep dive this week looks at bodies / good use of embodiment - such as body swapping in Altered Carbon or Cronenbergian body horror. Tom espouses that 2025 has seen the greatest summer for cinematic horror in recent memory, discusses the trope of befuzzled kings leaving a trail of chaos in their wake, and feels a bit eurrgh about campery being shorthand for villainy.
