The Oh, Hi, I'm Professor George Mahalco, director of My Bloody Valentine, and you're listening

to the Faculty of Horror Podcast.

Hi everyone, I'm Alex West with Andrea Subasati.

And you are listening to the Faculty of Horror Podcasting from the Harrod Halls of Academia. And today it's a little bit fuller in the room

org vault. We are joined as we said last episode by Paul Corrup, founder of Conexploitation,

co-curator of the Black Museum lecture series alongside Andrea,

columnist for Roo Morg, all-round writer for Roo Morg, and managing editor of Spectacular

optical.

How are you, Paul? I'm tired already talking about you.

I'm tired of listening. I'm great. Thank you for having me on the show. I mean it's really

exciting to be here. I know you guys don't have many guests so I'm quite honored to be part of it.

Well as they say we only go after people with very special and specific skill sets and I can't

think of a better topic to have you on for because Andrew and I have talked about having you on quite a lot.

And it's to talk about David Cronenberg, the Canadian Auteur, Baron of Blood, all around Canadian horror guru.

That's right, we wanted to talk about Gronenberg, we wanted to talk about Canadian horror,

so who better to have on then Paul Conluxplooitation Corup and we let Paul decide what movie we were

going to focus on and to that end Paul picked Shivers. Why did you pick this film?

Shivers has always been my favorite David Cornenburg film.

You know, it's not one of maybe his best films, but as his first film,

it kind of has a raw energy to it that I feel a lot of his later films don't quite achieve and I just think it's also one of his smartest films.

Even though the filmmaking quality of it is not quite as good as he started to get later on it really has a lot of

smart interesting ideas stuffed into this kind of low budget or framework.
