Episode 12: American Interpretations of Foreign Visions

In the first analytical episode of season 2, May and Clinton look at American films that are set in foreign lands or have foreign protagonists. The transnationalist influence of global cinema is the guiding force behind the expansion of horror and science fiction as a legitimate genre worldwide. American films are considered the country's most valuable export, and in analyzing these tendencies, what can a viewer uncover about both the American voice and the picture painted of other countries through American lenses? The Green Inferno, The Eyes of My Mother, and Midsommar are discussed.  The episode is currently streaming on Anchor, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Breaker, PocketCasts, and RadioPublic.
