On June 30th four podcasters set out to break down the greatest horror movie ever made. What happened to them is tragic, even more so because they were young.
This fifth Thursday Jenn, Lara and Mike are taking a much needed break. For listeners of both shows, this is a double dip as Mike is presenting the uncut version of his latest Pod and the Pendulum episode. Along with regulars Brian Keiper, Devaughn Taylor and guest Nichole Goble, Mike tackles Tobe Hooper’s classic from top to bottom. From an exploration to the social, economic, and political climate that influenced the making of the film; to reimagining the stench, sweat and bloodshed that went on in front of and behind the scenes; tackling whether Franklin is annoying or misunderstood; to why this holds up almost fifty years later; no armadillo is left unturned. So grab yourself a bowl or beefy, meaty chili and settle in for a hell of a road trip. Be sure to go to www.podandthependulum.com for our complete archives of nearly 150 episodes.
