0:00.0 | In 2011, an up-and-coming horror director called Adam Wheeler called him, and he said, |
0:26.5 | In 2011, an up-and-coming horror director called Adam Wingard made his debut feature film, |
0:32.8 | a home invasion horror movie called Your Next. Much like many of his contemporaries like |
0:40.1 | Ty West, Joe Swanberg and Mark Duplass, Wingard was part of a new movement of horror filmmakers |
0:46.8 | that brought a mix of 80s nostalgia and mumble-core naturalism to horror. |
0:52.7 | Gone were the dingy, grainy aesthetics and new metal soundtracks of the 2000s, |
1:03.6 | here we got vibrant, colourful visuals and 80s synthy electropop. |
1:14.1 | A couple of years later, Wingard followed up Your Next with The Guest, which brought even more of |
1:20.0 | those neon-drenched 80s visuals and synthy soundtracks to the horror genre. |
1:29.8 | With this one-two hit of successful genre films, Wingard proved himself to be one of the most |

2:16.1 | genre one sub-jummer at a time. We are currently in the middle of our ninth season exploring the |
2:22.0 | evolution of home invasion, and this is part 25. We've reached the 2010s, and this week we're |
2:30.4 | going to be discussing as that intro suggested two films from director Adam Wingard, Your Next, |
2:36.7 | and The Guest. What a fun double bill. Please do check both films out if you get a chance before |
2:44.3 | you listen to our discussion, as this conversation will of course be spoiler-rific. So joining me to |
2:50.4 | discuss these two movies, I've got a longtime friend of the pod. He is an actor, a podcaster, |
2:55.3 | a writer among many other things. He's supposed to be here by now. I'm not sure where he is. He was |
