Welcome back to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike Munser and as ever I am your host. In this

podcast, we explore and dissect the history and the evolution of the horror genre, one subgenre

at a time. And we are right at the end of our 10th season exploring the evolution of nature

biting back in horror. This is part 36 and And this week, it's a little bonus review,

really. It's a bonus discussion. I let the patrons decide what movie that we didn't discuss

in depth this series they would like to hear covered. There were a load of great choices.

We ended up putting it to a vote. There were several other films that

people could have voted for, including children of men, the shallows, watership down, orca, and a whole

bunch of other really interesting movies. But the winner with the most votes was Jordan Peel's

Nope from 2022. Such an interesting choice for this particular season.

So I sat down and chatted to friend of the pod, Devorn Taylor, about Jordan Peel's nope and where

it fits in the nature bites back subgenre. Enjoy. A big welcome back to Devorn Taylor. Hello, Devorn. Hello,

hello, Mike. Thank you for having me back. It's been, what a, what a journey. This nature

bites back series has been. And coming to come into the epic conclusion, I think this was a very

perfect pick for a very big ending for the

season. I know, right? This is, this was a little bonus extra. Our patrons got to vote for

another film that they wanted to hear discuss this season. I think they've made a good choice here,

Devona, like a slightly left field choice, one I wasn't expecting, but I'm, I'm quite excited to

discuss it with you.

Yeah, you know, because it's like, you know, you usually have like a good curveball or two

somewhere in the season, you know, and, but this one, definitely, I think it makes a lot more sense.

It's like when you say it out loud, it's like, wait, nope, and the nature bites back.
