Realms Unknown

• Bodies // Summer of Horror // Befuzzled kings

  Joining Alice Fraser this week is the mighty Tom Neenan (The Mash Report, The Hauntening).The subgenre deep dive this week looks at bodies / good use of embodiment - such as body swapping in Altered Carbon or Cronenbergian body horror. Tom espouses that 2025 has seen the greatest summer for cinematic horror in recent memory, discusses the trope of befuzzled kings leaving a trail of chaos in their wake, and feels a bit eurrgh about campery being shorthand for villainy.📚 Buy recommended books here! https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/RealmsUnknownNEWSFILM Red SonjaWHAT HAVE YOU BEEN PUTTING IN YOUR BRAIN?FILM 28 Years LaterFILM Bring Her BackFILM WeaponsFILM TogetherSwordheart - T KingfisherTROPE ON A ROPEBefuzzled kings and the chaos they leave in their wakeLooking in the mirror, pulling at something and creating a Cronenbergian horrorSUB GENRE DEEP DIVE - bodiesFILM LooperFILM TogetherTV Doctor Who - The Invisible EnemyTV Doctor Who - Into The DalekFILM TuskPODCAST SmodcastAltered Carbon - Richard K.
