Horror 101 - Episode 107: Pontypool
Listen now
Description
. On this episode we are going to tip our hats to our homeland. In 2008 director Bruce McDonald gave us a low budget and very different take on the mass infection outbreak horror subgenre. As you may or may not know this show comes to you from Ontario Canada. And this little gem is set in a small Ontario town just a few hours drive from here. Now, a lot of movies are shot in Canada but not a whole lot are SET in Canada and with this being so close to home and the fact that we've received more than a few hints from our listers to cover it, we've decided to give the Horror 101 treatment to Pontypool. Show Highlights: 01:00 Prelude to Terror... 04:10 Introducing Pontypool... 10:40 Lady in the storm... 14:07 The Wheels Start To Fall Off... 19:00 The Last Dying Gasp... 25:00 Dr. Mendez... 30:00 Killing the Word... 31:45 One Last Show... 36:00 Scoring the Film... 44:40 Conclusion...Thanks for listening!
