The Oh, Oh, The Hi everyone and welcome back to the Faculty of Horror Podcasting from the

Horrid Halls of Academia. I'm Alex West with Andrea Subisadeati and we are back this month and this month we are reaching out to the

Farest limitations of our known universe with two really epic sci-fi horror films.

They are really epic.

They are like the cream of sci-fi horror, I dare say,

with the exception of maybe alien,

which we've already covered, but these movies attack the

sci-fi horror mash-up genre in a very specific way and there's similarities

and there's differences but I think they're a great pairing to watch together and

talk about together. And I think they're an interesting thing to do a couple months

after we tackled John Carpenter's The Thing, which is of course one of the big horror films from the 1980s.

And then going ahead to the first film we're going to talk about, Event Horizon, which is in 1997.

And then the next film we're going to talk about Sunshine, which is in 1997 and in the next film we're going to talk about sunshine which is in 2007.

So we're kind of leaping over the decades with science fiction horror and what it has to offer

and I think that's really cool especially where the thing was so

situated on earth and embroiled in men's dilemma and now we're going into this kind of

larger dilemma of humanity and what it means to be human and what it doesn't mean to be human.

Yeah. So I feel like to get into this discussion, a conversation about these terms and these genres is in order I think

it's actually kind of a hot button topic right now I'm seeing a lot of stuff on

social media about what is and what isn't horror.

And it seems to me that horror is doing very well right now

and what always tends to come along with that
