13. Josh Listens to the Rain (feat. Dane Figueroa Edidi!)

Artist, poet, and truthsayer Dane Figueroa Edidi virtually drops by to discuss THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME (Alejandro Hidalgo, 2013), a movie that (prepare yourselves) I had not heard of yet!

I am so glad Lady Dane brought this Venezuelan haunted house flick to my attention because it was BEAUTIFUL. And unless scares aren't your thing, I would recommend watching it before we start dropping spoilers after the first half hour.

BUT OH what a first half hour it is! Patricia Arquette goes too hard for Easter! Yemi Alade and Simu Liu! PLUS, I am distracted by rain no fewer than THREE times. Thrilling stuff. My life is a Chekhov play.

I also take my guest on a brief historical journey of the Nunsploitation genre of the 70s, much to their reluctance (Sorry Dane).

CW: Major spoilers for this film as well as William Castle's HOMICIDAL (1961). Milder spoilers for STIGMATA (1999), HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (2018), and UNFRIENDED (2014). We also talk some pandemic talk, and get into some even gnarlier things, like institutional racism, abuse, transphobia, and even Game of Thrones Season 8.

I'm still @JoshuaSimonSays and for the record, I adore Uma Thurman.
