| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike Munzer. As always, I am your host. |
| 0:23.5 | Now, we're bringing you a little bonus episode today as a little preview for the upcoming |
| 0:28.1 | Edinburgh Film Festival. Evolution of Horror are going to be working and partnering with the |
| 0:32.9 | festival this August, and I'm very excited to be there in attendance throughout the festival and I'm also |
| 0:38.4 | going to be hosting one of the midnight premieres. It's, if you haven't been, an amazing city, |
| 0:44.7 | an amazing vibe. Edinburgh is genuinely my favourite city in the UK. I love any chance to go there, |
| 0:51.0 | but particularly in August when the film festival is going on, it's also |
| 0:54.6 | going on at the same time as the theatre, the fringe festival, and of course the television |
| 1:00.7 | festival as well, the book festival is happening. So the whole city is alive with all of these |
| 1:06.6 | incredible creative events going on. And it's just a beautiful place to just be and hang out. |
| 1:12.5 | So I'm going to be there for a few nights from the 16th of August through to the 21st. |
| 1:17.1 | I'm going to be there with various other friends of the pod as well who are up there. |
| 1:21.1 | So come along. Grab yourself some tickets to come and see some awesome films. Come and hang out with me. |
| 1:26.9 | It's going to be a really fun vibe. |
| 1:28.4 | And we're going to talk a little bit about the program in this bonus episode because there is a |
| 1:33.5 | midnight movie category. So every night across the film festival, there will be a different |
| 1:38.1 | midnight premiere of a film in the horror or kind of horror adjacent genre, essentially. So I sat down with the |
| 1:46.3 | programmers for the festival, Paul Ridd and Emma Boa, who took me through this year's program |
| 1:52.7 | and gave me some incredible recommendations for some of the films they are going to be |
| 1:57.4 | screening, including the new movie by Ben Wheatley and the new toxic Avenger films. |
| 2:03.9 | So please enjoy my spoiler-free Edinburgh preview conversation with Paul Ridd and Emma Boa. |
| 2:11.9 | A big welcome back to Paul and Emma. |
