310: Jump scares and spine chillers! A horror deep-dive with film critic William Bibbiani.

Had a fantastic time talking about the horror genre with film critic & podcast host William Bibbiani (The Wrap, The Critically Acclaimed Network)! We talk about how and why 2022 horror is making a killing at the box office, from 'Smile' to 'Barbarian' to 'Halloween Ends’. How the horror genre can help us process terrifying realities, from misogyny to living through a pandemic. How a studio like A24 and directors like Jordan Peele & Robert Eggers are doing groundbreaking work. Plus William Bibbiani's all time favorite jump scare and so much more! Happy Halloween!!
