Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated The Retro Podcast Massacre in Podcasts

Oct 12, 2020

There are so many great things in this podcast, I sat down to listen to 10 minutes and ended up binging a few episodes by accident. There's fantastic humour, a selection of popular and obscure horror films, skits that will make you chuckle and a super bonus occasionally of cat content... oooh, plus a feature called Pets In Peril which is something I didn't even know I needed!

Apart from all that... the host's voice sounds like it has been pulled out of a classic horror film, or perhaps from narrating The Twilight Zone, it's glorious and I have never heard such beautiful swearing.

Possibly the most impressive thing is the production, this is a gold standard for podcasting as far as I'm concerned. I don't think I've heard such a fantastically crafted piece of audio. All of those things above were wonderful on their own, but add in sound effects and music and well... it's spooky season, go and check it out yourself and see why I love it so much.

Movie Favorite

"The next I would say is La Strada because, well, do I really have to say? I feel like it’s sort of self-explanatory. Like [laughs] Giulietta Masina, I mean every performance, but particularly the last scene in the movie, with Anthony Quinn and just being on the beach, and everything about that movie is beautiful. And there’s something always about his films that, knowing that audio was recorded post shooting the film — I’m pretty sure that’s true with that movie — just to know, in a way, if it is true, it’s just to know that there are two sort of performances happening simultaneously. You can see and hear that. And I love that idea and what skill and sort of the presence to this day that movie has. And it’s also personally really resonant because my father said after he saw that movie, it was what made him want to make movies, and when I finally saw it when I was a teenager, I understood why. So it inevitably has a resonance beyond the brilliance of the movie itself."
