It’s the first week of our month spotlighting female directors and we’re celebrating one of the biggest names in the business: Kathryn Bigelow. She made her solo directorial debut with 1987’s NEAR DARK, our topic for today.

It has been Brennan’s quest to watch this film since the very first episode of Scream 101. Will it live up to expectations? Join us as we review the film, shake out some more ten word reviews, and figure out if there’s ANY vampire movie Brennan likes.

If you donate $5 or more to one of the following organizations, you will be able to choose a movie we review on the show!

Episode 1: I Madman, You Jane

in

Welcome to the first episode of Scream 101, the podcast where a horror nerd forces his less horrific friends to watch terrible movies with him! Today's episode focuses on the cerebral 1989 slasher I, MADMAN, in which a woman is stalked by a deformed killer that comes to life out of a pulp novel. We review the film, pick out our favorite kills, play games, and much much more!
