BONUS EPISODE: Post 9/11 Horror (with Jake Ures)

When podcast guest Jake Ures told us about his theory that the 2003 horror mash-up "Freddy vs Jason" was a 9/11 allegory, we knew we had to sit down and talk to him. As a bonus discussion this week, we'll be talking about the post 9/11 effect on pop culture - specifically, the horror genre. From "Freddy vs Jason" to the gritty reboots of "The Hills Have Eyes" and Rob Zombie's "Halloween" films, we'll be discussing some of the most rotten horror of the 2000s and how they reflected the cultural zeitgeist after 9/11. "Freddy vs Jason" is available to rent on iTunes. "The Hills Have Eyes" is streaming on HBOMax. "Halloween" and "Halloween II" are available to rent on iTunes.
