Description
This week we chat with Bomani J. Story, the writer/director behind The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster. We talk about adapting Frankenstein, the way this adaptation is different than a lot of other works inspired by Frankenstein, Bomani's extensive horror history and so much more before we explore the seminal The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. We discuss never wanting to go to Texas, Bomani's first experience with the film, watching TCM on a crappy VHS and how that adds to the film, the folk horror aspect of it and so much more, laughing all the way. The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster is currently playing in theaters and will have its VOD release on June 23rd. Follow Bomani on Instagram.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Twitter.
