Summary

On this week's episode, Jamie and Chico dive into sex and death in horror movies, specifically looking at how sexually transmitted diseases and infections come into play. Starting with It Follows, we discuss chain emails, social disconnection and HIV/AIDS. Next up, Cronenberg! The master of body horror's first film, Shivers, looks at a parasite that causes residents of a high-rise to turn into sex monsters. Finally, Contracted updated the zombie myth with its own twisted, although problematic, take on sex. Plus, what these films tell us about society's view of women and sex.

But sex as it connects to STDs and that idea of death, I think, was what we were kind of going for this week.

1:06.5

And we did give a hint on Patreon, of course, which was a screen grab from It Follows.

1:14.6

1:19.6

of these three that we're going to talk about.

1:23.8

And the most recent.

1:25.3

Yes.

1:25.5

And I feel like It Follows really kind of took the horror world by Storm a couple of years back when it came out, which I think was like 2015.

1:34.9

And it just kind of was this.

1:59.1

2:01.4

kind of unique feel, a unique look. But one of the things that I realized when I was watching

2:06.4

it is there are no adults in the movie. And that I feel like is that like sort of somehow
