Description

What did Juno do that was that bad? S.A. Bradley of the Hellbent For Horror podcast joins the show for an unlikely candidate for our longest episode of all time - Neil Marshall's spelunking-gone-wrong film, The Descent. We dive deep into the echoes of Deliverance (almost literally in the case of a radio station switch bit early in the film), Neil's career trajectory, the drastic difference in me viewing the film in my college years vs. today, the extraordinary accomplishment of a full 45 minutes of straight drama before the monsters appear, and just generally marvel at the incredible craftsmanship of this modern classic. You can find S.A. Bradley's novel, Screaming For Pleasure: How Horror Makes You Happy And Healthy, and more at https://hellbentforhorror.com/If you're enjoying Watch This Tonight, please leave us a 5-star review in Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you're listening, and mention what movie or TV series you'd like me to cover on the podcast (and I will).Subscibe for future episodes.
