Its Halloween!! In honor of the holiday we cover one of Raphael’s all-time favs, THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS. Raquel isnt sure what to make of this films mix of horror, camp, & exploitation. Is this an urban HOME ALONE? Is this the ur-text for Jordan Peele’s GET OUT? Raphael admits that it actually scared him as a kid & Raquel almost stopped watching it altogether. This is Wes Craven at his finest! The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through & through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a movie to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film. Feel free to write to us! Give us some film suggestions at [email protected] or @gensplicepod on Twitter. Raphael is on Twitter at @citycelluloid. You can find his film writing at cinefile.info and film-cred.com
