Talk Without Rhythm Podcast

Join El Goro, part-time luchador and full-time cinephile, as he delves into the broad grassy spaces and massed granite tarns of cinema. Each episode, El Goro discusses two movies tied together by some kind of theme. Action, sci-fi, horror, high-brow, low-brow: it's all fair game.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm joined by my bud Kelly Forbes of the Garbage People Podcast to discuss two recently released horror films: Pascal Laugier's Incident in a Ghostland and Ari Aster's Hereditary. But as frequently happens when Kelly and I get to talking, our conversation sprawls out into critiques of the concept of "elevated horror," critiques of horror fandom, the concept of calling something "overrated," our problems with the recently-released film Mandy, the times when it is morally justified to torrent films, and assholes who can't keep their phones off at the theater.

Strap in folks.
