In the Great, Dark Realm of Transgression (Halloween Special)

*Disclaimer: This special Halloween considered episode is a "lost" episode that was recorded October of last year (2021) and recently recovered.   Within horror lies the tantalizing dare to transgress, to wade in the dark, be pushed forward, deeper into its immersive abyss by a perverse, often hedonistic curiosity. What things, good, bad, and ugly can be found there and what can we do with them once confronted? The realm of horror has more answers than you might think…horrific illusion is one hell of a drug!   Horror is the best genre. You won’t be able to convince me otherwise. An assertion as subjective as our own individual fears, but what about the fears we share as a society, in terrifying universality? What then? Let us consider...in a special episode of HomeBodyMedia inspired by the month of Halloween itself.   This special episode's “Stray Media” explores the fascinating transgressions found in Nia DaCosta’s 2021 evocative iteration of “Candyman” & Julia Ducornau’s blisteringly beautiful “Titane”. I also briefly encourage you all to take a peek at Paramount+’s compelling supernatural drama “Evil” & highlight Michaela Coel’s first venture in literary publishing, “Misfits: A Personal Manifesto”.  Supplemental / Contextual Content:  <ul> <li><a href="https://letterboxd.com/atprickb/list/terror/">A List of My Favorite Horror Films</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.philipbrophy.com/projects/chapters/horrality/chapter.html">Horrality: The Textuality of the Contemporary Horror Film</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VKtExlE_Ec">Candyman (The Impact of Black Horror)</a></li> <li><a href="https://fathersonholygore.com/2022/01/22/the-posthumanist-queer-trans-gothic-of-titane/">The Posthumanist Queer/Trans Gothic of TITANE</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.vulture.com/2021/10/julia-ducournau-on-writing-titane-2021s-boldest-film.html">Under Her Skin: Julia Ducournau lets us in on the years of fury, angst, and comedy that fueled the Palme d’Or-winning, genre-smashing Titane</a></li> <li><a href="https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3684646/deeply-personal-horror-midnight-mass-guest-essay-filmmaker-mike-flanagan/">The Deeply Personal Horror of “Midnight Mass”</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odusP8gmqsg">Michaela Coel's 2018 James MacTaggart Lecture</a></li> </ul>

Ain't Nothing Righteous In It

The panopticon of phony, punitive morality has got us all acting brand new lately, huh?  Extending upon my previous considerations on social accountability and power, I dive even deeper into the paradoxical fragility of power and its corrosion and distortion of justice, morality, and knowledge. How can we rebound from a growing pathology of passing the buck of accountability back and forth before we lose sight of what we’re even fighting for? Of course, I make a bid for cultural criticism. I also explore the hateful grievances parading as social and moral concern that a certain section of society holds against two successful anomalies in mainstream music; Lil Nas X & Lizzo. This episode’s “Stray Media” details David Lowery’s new contemplative epic “The Green Knight”, a LONG ass sociological deep dive into the recent HBO satire hit series “The White Lotus” created by Mike White, and a soulful reconsideration of Lorde’s latest and most polarizing record, “Solar Power”.  Supplemental / Contextual Content:  <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPNbYtv0Gpo">A Brief History of America Hating Sex Workers</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/unseen-vaccination-costs/">The Choice to Vaccinate Has Never Been Free</a> </li> <li><a href="https://meaningness.com/atomized-mode">Atomization: The Kaleidoscope of Meaning</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3mmg4bEQeQ">Who benefits from all this outrage & division?</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-truth-is-paywalled-but-the-lies-are-free/">The Truth is Paywalled But the Lies are Free</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/12/31/18152275/criticism-explained-cultural-writing">Why Cultural Criticism Matters</a> </li> <li><a href="https://gen.medium.com/i-lived-through-collapse-america-is-already-there-ba1e4b54c5fc">I Lived Through Collapse.
