The Horrors of Love

Barbarian (2022) with Bella Mazzetti

February 28, 2023 • Jeanette Wall • Season 1 • Episode 2

In this episode, we are talking about one of the newer films on the Horrors of Love film list, Barbarian (2022). We discuss the various types of toxic masculintiy displayed by the many "barbarians" of Barbary Street, how comedians make excellent horror maestros, and what films we're excited about that are changing the landscape of the genre. Bella Mazzetti is our guest; she is a Public Health Nerd and educator, iconic for shredding in the Miscreant Records band Jawbreaker Reunion, and she’s one of my favorite people to talk to about horror movies.

Please listen with care as we do discuss sexual violence and incest.
