John Carpenter - Part 5: Carpenter Vs. AmericanaDescription
Our third season of Filmography on the Master of Horror John Carpenter concludes with our fifth and final episode, John Carpenter vs. Americana, as Film Editor Dominick Suzanne-Mayer is joined by CoS Editor-in-Chief Michael Roffman and Daily Grindhouse's Mike Vanderbilt. Together, they examine Carpenter's understanding of the American Dream as seen in some of his most offbeat features and classics alike, the ways in which Carpenter's politics wrestle with things we're still forced to consider today, how he preys on some particular domestic fear, and much more.
