COVID / Host (2020) with Gena Radcliffe, Nichole Goble, and Terry Mesnard

Psychoanalysis: A Horror Therapy Podcast

During the height of lockdowns and uncertainty in the summer of 2020, a little movie hit Shudder. New movies hit the streaming service all the time, but this was a big deal because it was made during the pandemic with all its cast and crew sheltering in place. HOST was one of the few new movies we got during this period, and while it's firmly rooted in our fears and worries during this time, it gave fans something new to watch and discuss during a time when we desperately needed it. HOST tells the story of a group of friends that anger the spirit realm during a virtual seance. Mike has great company this week as he’s joined by guests Gena Radcliffe (KIll By Kill), Nichole Goble (Bodies in Horror), and Terry Mesnard (Scarred For Life, Gayley Dreadful) to talk about this movie and all the things WE did and the spaces we tried to fill in order to stay sane while locked down. From Animal Crossing marathons, backyards converted to cinemas, drunken script readings over zoom and so many more things we never thought we’d have to do, it was a wild time.
