Episode 13. Too Many Hatchets, Not Enough Beards

You better hope that Newbury Comics t-shirt is made of kevlar, because this week, we’ve got a LOT of heat to get off our shockingly clothed chests (because if you’ve watched the movies we have over the last few weeks, you might be forgiven for thinking females don’t actually wear clothing). What starts as a somewhat agitated discussion of Adam Green’s Hatchet series turns into a whole lot of complicated questions on the modern slasher, independent genre scene, problematic representations of women, necessity or fossil of theatrical horror, and AJ Bowen’s facial hair. It’s somewhat intense, but good ultimately triumphs over evil. Spoiler alert to our episode: you really should bypass both films and just seek out The Abominable Dr. Phibes. We only say this because we care.
