19 - Enjoy with a Horror Accent (Frozen [2010] with Jessica Scott/ Rift [2017] with Jose Nateras)

The Calls Are Coming from Inside the Podcast

We’re putting ourselves into isolation for this part of our Winter Horrors series. Whether we’re stuck on ski lift in the middle of a winter storm or rekindling with our exes in an isolated Icelandic cabin, our two films this week look at loneliness and isolation in different ways. First, we discuss with Jessica Scott, of We Who Walk Here, Adam Green’s tense survival thriller, Frozen (starting at 00:01:06). Then, we dive into analyzing the queer loneliness of Erlingur Thoroddsen’s 2017 film, Rift (starting at 00:58:14) with actor and writer Jose Nateras.
