On episode 17, WE ARE BACK . . . this time, chatting with writer and horror podcast-rock-star, Neil McRobert about a movie that made him cry when he was just a wee lad - James Cameron’s 1984 science-fiction classic, The Terminator. Our conversation runs from ideas of cyborg body horror, to the trope of the unkillable thing that chases you, relentlessly. We poke around in notions of how time-travel stories work (or don't), fiction writers as prophets, and the existential terror I feel when I think too hard about the philosophy behind simulation theory.
But we have fun too! I promise!
You can listen to Neil as he interviews horror-lit luminaries every week on his podcast, “Talking Scared,” where he’s spoken to everyone from Tananarive Due and Margaret Atwood, to Stephen King and Stephen Graham Jones. His writings about horror can also be found in Esquire, The Guardian, Elle, and Slate.
