M3GAN, and the new horror renaissance
Description
One of the biggest movies in the world right now is about a robotic doll who goes on a violent rampage.
The film is called M3GAN, and it’s part of a new wave of campy, self-aware horror movies that are becoming huge box office success stories.
On today's episode, we explore how horror appears to be in the middle of a renaissance right now, thanks to an emphasis on fun, slick marketing, and a healthy dose of social and political satire.
