Tobe Hooper & New Releases (w/ Scout Tafoya)

For Episode #15 of the Cine-Cast, some members of the C-F gang (Associate Editors Ben and Kathleen Sachs, contributors John Dickson and Megan Fariello) have a long talk with New York-based critic Scout Tafoya, author of a new critical study of horror director Tobe Hooper (THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, POLTERGEIST, LIFEFORCE). The conversation touches on nearly every phase of Hooper's storied career, with a focus on the artistry that directors can smuggle into disreputable cinematic material. But before the group talks Hooper, we round up some notable recent arthouse releases (Sky Hopinka's MAŁNI, Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese's THIS IS NOT A BURIAL, IT'S A RESURRECTION) and delve into the current blockbuster GODZILLA VS. KONG. Don't forget to read the Cinefile Cinelist every week at www.cinefile.info The introductory theme is by local film composer Ben Van Vlissingen. Find out more about his work here: www.benvanv.com
