The Horrors Persist (Crossover Ep): A Face in the Crowd

Description
Quick edit: At 28 min, Sammi says "The Sound of Music." She meant "Singing in the Rain." In light of the recent censorship on behalf of ABC/Disney, we decided it was a good time to talk about some important movies and other pieces related to censorship and the media. Yes, we will likely return to Bachelor Nation, but not right now! For the time being, consider this a crossover episode into a new podcast that will be launching soon - The Horrors Persist. For our first episode, we cover A Face in the Crowd, a 1957 movie starring Andy Griffith. Steve describes it is as movie that covers the first influencer. Sammi describes it by saying it's like what Being There would be like if the main character was a dick. Either way, we hope you enjoy it! You can watch this movie on Tubi if you're looking for a place to stream it, at least as of the time of this publishing. Some other things we cover: The Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch Food for Nought, a book by Ross Hume Hall In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson Welcome to Me Citizen Kane Network Ace in the Hole If you want to keep up with more horror and horror-adjacent work (this one is definitely adjacent, but horror-like based on the state of things), make sure you check out theorrors.co. There will be much more on there soon!
