"The frost, sometimes it makes the blade stick." 🩸🩸 link in bio🩸🩸 What do Eurodance music, Kung Fu, the rise of black cinema in the 1990s, and Marvel Comics have in common? Click the link to find out in Matthew and Quinton's discussion of BLADE (1998). Starring Wesley Snipes as the baddest vampire hunter in town, and Stephen Dorff as Deacon Frost, who's definitely not here to clown. The action-horror classic that ushered in a wave of Marvel Entertainment films that eventually turned into an MCU-nami celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Quinton tells you all about Wesley Snipes' determination to get the part and ensure that the film got made, as well as who else was in the running for the titular vampire slayer. Matthew shares how music played a huge role in post-Soviet collapse youth culture, how this music is the pulse of the film, and how such disparate influences such as gun-fu coming out of Hong Kong and the emergence of filmmakers like John Singleton and the Hughes Brothers give BLADE a distinct visual language in a very specific cultural context. Put on your sunscreen and step away from the Olive Garden, motherfuckers! - - #horror #horrormovies #film #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #moviepodcast #horrorpodcast #visceralreactions #blade #marvel #marvelcomics #wesleysnipes #vampires #1990smovies #comicbookmovies #stephendorff #blademovie #actionhorror #applepodcasts #spotifypodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQ5PwgMgOc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Quinton provides all the behind-the-scenes info, while Matthew takes you through the history of ventriloquism, what seems like an endless list of period-appropriate serial killers, and the landscape of 1970s entertainment.

Click 🦜🦆Link In Bio🦆🦜 to listen to our (50th!!) episode on Hitchcock’s THE BIRDS for its 60th anniversary! “Hitchcock-A-Doodle-Do.” Matthew and Quinton return to the Master of Suspense, except this time they’re trading in shower curtains for sparrows. The Birds is an obvious choice to look at environmental concerns of the 1960s, so we discuss it anyway. Believe us when we say that if birds had marrow, we’d find it. What does The Birds have to do with Vietnam? What is Hitchcock telling us about chaos and order during one of the most tumultuous decades in recent history? And does anyone have a quarter so I can place a call in this phone booth… Swipe right for some genuine birdage. - ##horror #horrormovies #film #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #moviepodcast #horrorpodcast #visceralreactions #thebirds #alfredhitchcock #hitchcock #tippihedren #1960s #daphnedumaurier #rodtaylor #jessicatandy #whenanimalsattack #veronicacartwright #ecohorror #applepodcasts #spotifypodcast (at Audubon Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnrSfX2OieM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Look to the skies! "Alien Anatomy 101," the NEW Visceral Reactions sode on I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE, is available wherever you get your pod(people)casts. Click the *link in bio* for everything we’ve got! Join us for a talk on aliens learning to love & paranoia in the Atomic Age! They say you don't know someone until you live with them. Sometimes, you don't know your partner is an alien body snatcher until you're married. Marge Farrell learns this lesson the hard way when she marries Bill Bradley. Cold, emotionally distant, and silent--behavior that isn't so out of place when all of the men in town are actually from OUTER SPACE. Who will listen to Marge's concerns that her husband isn't the person she thought he was? The police captain? Bill's friends? Matthew and Quinton? If you picked the last choice, you guessed right! We're discussing this 1958 sci-fi classic from Gene Fowler Jr. to celebrate its 65th anniversary! Topics range from gender politics and paranoia to figuring out how aliens can mate with humans. And we have something special for this episode! Since the show's about to turn ONE YEAR OLD, we decided to have an award ceremony for all the films we've covered in 2022. Curious as to what films and performances we loved the most? Then stick around for the final third of the episode. We had fun doing it, and we hope you have fun listening! - - #horror #horrormovies #film #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #moviepodcast #horrorpodcast #visceralreactions #sciencefiction #scifi #scifihorror #aliens #bodysnatcher #imarriedamonsterfromouterspace #atomicage #1950smovies #coldwarera #bmovies https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJcrAjO4o-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cat got your tongue? Click the *link in bio* to listen to "Super Freaks & Leather Baddies," for our discussion of Batman Returns (1992). The Dark Knight returns to take on Catwoman and the Penguin in Tim Burton's too-dark-for-Warner Bros. masterwork. Matthew and Quinton take you behind the scenes (and behind the leather) to discuss why Batman Returns works as a horror and a Christmas film, the identity and nature of the film's true villain, and who was considered to go up against Michael Keaton before Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny Devito were cast. It's a special holiday episode that doesn't expire, so don't bother trying to exchange it at Bloomingdale's. - - #horror #horrormovies #film #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #moviepodcast #horrorpodcast #visceralreactions #batman #batmanreturns #timburton #timburtonmovies #michaelkeaton #michellepfeiffer #dannydevito #christopherwalken #dannyelfman #comicbookmovies #dccomics #catwoman #thepenguin #christmashorror https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJbgSIuetn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Put your snowballs away and ☃️click the link in bio☃️ The Visceral Reactions' Christmas Eve Eve episode on Michael Keaton's JACK FROST is available NOW, wherever you get your podcasts! What else can you do when it's -35 outside? "Snowbody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." Matthew and Quinton don't stand a snowball's chance in hell getting through the 1998 Jack Frost without exposing the true terror it contains. Starring Michael Keaton, this frosty-family morality tale gestures towards a narrative of greater substance but melts along the way. We discuss the elements in the film that could easily be seen in a typical horror film while also indicating the moments when it turns slush. Once again, we're looking at the horror inherent to non-living sentient beings and how the anniversaries of traumatic events still sway us, no matter how much time has passed. We're trying our best to get into the holiday spirit, yes. But we're giving Jack Frost a fair chance, and, just maybe, if you're generous enough with your time, you'll spread Christmas cheer and Rate/Review and Subscribe on ApplePodcasts, or wherever you find your podcasts. Be kind, be safe, and no matter what/if you celebrate, enjoy your time with those you love. You never know when they might get turned into a snowman. - - #horror #horrormovies #film #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #moviepodcast #horrorpodcast #visceralreactions #jackfrost #snowman #christmasmovies #michaelkeaton #90shorror #90smovies #applepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #jackfrost1998 #christmastime #winterstormelliott https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhO9mfOZVe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"The Gospel of Jack Frost." You won't catch Matthew and Quinton humbugging around! So **click the link in bio** because we're full of the holiday spirit as much as snowmen are filled with the souls of the dead. For the first part of our Jack Frost special, we're looking at the 1997 cult slasher in which a chance accident, gallons of experimental acid, and a murderer on his way to execution combine for an essential 90s comedy horror. The episode covers a lot, as always, and this week we take on early versions of the Frost narrative, environmentalism in the 1990s, how to make a nonexistent budget work in your favor, and how Michael Cooney's is part of a discourse that also features, Toy Story, RoboCop, Small Soldiers, and Terminator. There's no cooler straight-to-home video in all of Snowmonton. So grab some hot cocoa, put away the hair dryers, and soul-search while we snow surf(what does that even mean?) - - #horror #horrormovies #film #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #moviepodcast #horrorpodcast #visceralreactions #christmas #christmasmovies #horrorcomedy #jackfrost #jackfrostmovie #cultclassic #90shorror #90shorrormovies #snowman #snowmen #applepodcasts #spotifypodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPDj7DuxhE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
