The Cabin in the Woods (aka hit em with the dumb-ass gas) with TJ
Fright Level: Spoopy
Trigger Warnings: Extensive gaslighting, violence toward women, extensive gore, disturbing images, Joss Whedon.
It's the first episode of this podcast we've ever done to necessitate and upfront creator based content warning as we talk about the meta horror of "The Cabin in the Woods" and having grown up with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly in a post Justice League world.
Despite our Whedonesque misgivings, we're still very much here for Drew Goddard and a just pre-fame Chris Hemsworth. There's a lot of speculation about how many times a person has to write or underwrite the same type of character before it MEANS something. We dig into the small but important difference between being clever and being self-aware as the movie identifies a number of important tropes and then...continues them. Witness the worst final girl ever to continue to be alive. Laugh along with us as we fall in love with the incredibly comic booky idea of "dumb-ass gas". Gasp with us as we unravel the mysteries of Chekov's dirt bike! Head to your basement and summon up the monster or your choice to enjoy this one with. We summoned TJ!
