RSS Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 In another massive episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick has a little help from his friends and family. Momma and Papa Dread join him for some light conversation before Darryll sits down with Des to review Let the Right One In. And, she is woman, hear her adore! Megan stops by to have a slightly one-sided conversation about Twilight. But what about Mean-Spirited March, you ask? Well, how about the most depraved, disgusting and brutal film of all time? That's right, Vaughn from Motion Picture Massacre stops by to discuss Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom. Listener discretion is advised. Seriously. Tunes include "Gimme Shelter" by The Hellacopters, "Knock Knock" by The Hives, "Santa Carla Twilight" by Tiger Army, "Cake and Sodomy" by Marilyn Manson, and "Gospel Sodomy Boy on Blow" by Zimmer's Hole.

Dread Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 This episode was a beast to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDDwPCLIRhw. It is sort of NSFW. No nudity or even blood but there are lots of images of girls in underwear being psychologically tormented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Heh, about halfway through. I've been hearing good things about Let the Right One In from all corners, probably going to try and find it and watch it at some point in the near future. May I just say that the segments with your family were adorable? (Even if Twilight makes my soul bleed emo tears of blood?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks. LTROI must be seen. The more I've let it soak in, the more I think I liked it. See it before Hollywood fucks it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood may have already fucked it up. Check this out: http://iconsoffright.com/news/2009/03/let_...tles_in_to.html I feel so dirty.

Dread Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I remember more of the original than the dumbed down ones. But that first one is blatant. And way better originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I saw Salo once last year. That was enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I may end up watching it again. After some of the shit I watched this month, it was easy to see that this had some real filmmaking chops behind it. I meant it when I compared it to Fellini. Next week...August Underground: Mordum.

slothian Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Not enough podcasts utilise the phrase "My mom's favourite Swedish rock band" Great ensemble show, Mr Doomsday. Let The Right One In, Twilight and Salo juxtaposed together probably shouldn't work, but it does thanks to the variety of your co-reviewers. And your good self, obviously.

Molly Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Very, very well done, Des. And the ending of your Salo review made me very, very amused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Very, very well done, Des. And the ending of your Salo review made me very, very amused. Ha! Just you saying that right now made me realize my entire family was on this week's episode! Thanks Preston. I watched August Underground's Mordum last night and don't even know what to say about it... But I'm watching Martyrs tonight so that'll be doooope!

Stavros Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Enjoyed the review of Let the right one in, I thought I'd check it out since just ordered a US import copy and BBC critic Mark Kermode once again referred to it as the best film of the last year. I'll have to listen again after I've seen it, I'll probably get more out of it then. Couple of comments regarding people turning into vampires within three minutes. That's not a Buffy deal, that show always worked by the rule that the victim awoke the night after they were turned. That raises all sorts of questions (like how they managed to bury them on the same day as they died) but the graveyeard stuff was mostly for atmosphere rather than logic. Dread- "I totally hate when someone pops up three minutes after being bitten as a vampire...it's without art, its without subtlety in any fashion..." Sounds like you dislike From Dusk Til Dawn then. I don't mind rules being changed around vampires as long as those rules are consistent. Its like Zombies running, you do what you feel is dramatically the best fit for your film. There is no one right way to do it. There are plenty of aspects of the original concept of vampirism that have been tossed aside or resurrected for different versions. The quick change works well in some cases, particularly with the original 30 Day's of Night comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I juts prefer a person to die of the poisoning and return after the death has settled into the psyches of their loved ones. It has impact.
