Episode 114: Ginger Snaps

Episode 114 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are still looking at movies of any year, any genre and any quality and are unlikely to change any time soon.

Our penultimate mini-venture into the world of the werewolf movie takes us to Canada in the year 2000, but there's a definite 90s high school movie flavour as we take a look at John Fawcett's GINGER SNAPS! Starring Katherine Isabelle, Emily Perkins and Mimi Rogers, this is generally well regarded but there's a big question that has to be posed: IS IT BETTER THAN CURSED?

Hayley and Darren talk about their very different introductions to this film, their experiences of meeting the aforementioned Katherine Isabelle, the allegorical trappings of this movie and how the shadow of David Cronenberg hangs over Canadian cinema in general. They also confront a specific genre trope they don't particularly like (it's the one about pets), talk about its ban from certain UK cinemas and decide whether or not it's better than Cursed.

Once again, you'll be hearing our excellent, spooky Halloween theme which is composed and performed by Mitch Bain, as is all of the other music on the podcast. You can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.
