Out in the Japanese spooky hallways of horror podcasts, where every third microphone appears to be broadcasting from a basement illuminated by Halloween lights and unresolved childhood fears, there exists the delightfully unhinged institution known as My Bloody Podcast. It occupies that rare cultural space between a graduate seminar on horror cinema and three friends arguing in a video store that no longer exists.
On this bonus episode of My Bloody Podcast, Bryan Kluger and Marc Ciafardini welcome filmmaker Dave Boyle for a spirited tour through horror, cinema, Japan, and the many ways a trip to the dentist can become a genuinely terrifying proposition. Boyle’s latest film, Never After Dark, is a brilliant, beautifully unnerving Japanese horror movie featuring ghosts, blood, dark hallways, and enough dental anxiety to make you reconsider ever opening your mouth again. We get into Boyle’s beginnings, his years working in Japan, his love of Asian cinema, the peculiar art of scaring the hell out of people, and why horror remains one of cinema’s most wonderfully elastic forms. It’s a terrific conversation, and, mercifully, no dentists were harmed.
You can find My Bloody Podcast wherever podcasts lurk. It’s a reminder that great horror can be transcendent, bad horror can be fascinating, and arguing about both is often more entertaining than the movie itself.
