Episode 229: Guillermo Del Toro (feat. Chloe Waryan)
Listen now
Description
The spooky season is here! Why not indulge in the twisted fantasy worlds of one renowned, revered Mexican filmmaker by the name of Guillermo Del Toro! Of course I needed to enlist a super fan of his and I was lucky enough to have returning guest Chloe Waryan back on the show for another truly delightful discussion. Chloe may very well be my go-to guest every October (well at least for next year so we can finally talk about Mike Flanagan). Not to mention, you're in for a surprise when Chloe and I introduce a bonus segment after the movie reviews that I know you'll enjoy! We start out the first ten minutes with some recent horror discoveries from Chloe and a quick review of a documentary I got to catch at the Chicago International Film Festival. For more reviews from there, do check out my Substack linked below! Before Thanksgiving, you'll be treated to a brand new Michael Mann redux episode so stay tuned for that. Thank you so much to Chloe for coming back on and to you for listening.  00:00 - 11:34 - Introduction / Recent Horror Recs 11:35 - 42:05 - Cronos, Mimic, The Devil's Backbone 42:06 - 01:02:47 - Blade II, Hellboys, Pacific Rim 01:02:48 - 01:24:29 - Pan's Labyrinth, Crimson Peak 01:24:30 - 01:49:49 - Shape of Water, Nightmare Alley, Pinocchio 01:49:50 - 02:11:21 - Surprise Segment / Top 3 / Outro Be sure to follow Chloe! https://chloesnotscared.com Chloe's IG https://www.instagram.com/chloesnotscared Subscribe to my Substack! https://5years.substack.com Beach Too Sandy Water Too Wet podcast! https://www.beachtoosandy.com

It's been six weeks since a new episode of the show but this will be worth the wait, given not only the director we're covering but the guest is one of the best film critics working today. Letterboxd's very own Mitchell Beaupre returns after their debut a couple years ago for a nail-biting...
