Episode 098- Travel Prepared to Survive
Deserts are the natural world at its most supernatural.
They are dangerous and merciless reminders that everything, including civilization, is temporary. Deserts remind us that we are one worldwide crisis away from entropy.
A perfect location for horror movies!
Join me as I discuss desert horror movies, the way they speak to our social anxieties, and I recount my own drive through the Mojave Desert to visit Death Valley!
I hope you enjoy the show!

Note: This show was completed before the domestic violence allegations came to light against director Richard Stanley. In solidarity with victims of domestic violence I’ve added links for resources.
