Warning: Mentions of Cannibalism and Child neglect
In our final Halloween episode for 2022 we slip into the wonderfully eerie fairytale world of Angela Carter.
We live in a society that puts a lot of time and energy into othering its people. Someone who is not a wolf and not human must discover the world around and within them without assistance.
In the thirty-second episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and stunt coordinator/horror aficionado Danny Hernandez to discuss the "chinese box structure" and coming-of-age sexuality that encompasses the feminist subversion of traditional fable in Neil Jordan's adaptation of Angela Carter's The Company of Wolves (1984).

This is a special episode because one of our guests is an actual baby. The other guest is her mother; actor, writer, and director Alice Lowe. You may recognize Alice from her acting work in any number of things; Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers (which she co-wrote), Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, Hot Fuzz, The IT Crowd, and many others. But she’s also a director, and wrote, directed, and starred in 2016’s Prevenge. She’s on the show today, calling in from London, to talk about the undersung 1984 fantasy, The Company of Wolves. She and April discuss making independent films and not limiting your imagination just because you’re doing things differently. They chat about the writer Angela Carter and utilizing dream logic. Plus, Alice hammers home the importance of not eliminating the tragic elements from fairy tales.

Martial arts marketing meets the ways of the contrapreneur and the psychopathic predator. Should we be wary of the soft skills we teach in self-protection? Can a McDojo ever be honest?
This episode picks up with the magical realism of Angela Carter and her understanding of the both predatory danger presented in the wolf allegory and its allure. Then we look at the machismo of predatory salesmanship and how it attracts martial artists.

Curator and Funeral Director's Assistant Lola Palacios reflects on Angela Carter's 1975 short story, "The Lady of the House of Love." Several themes throughout Carter's tale of Romanian vampire romance interweave with Palacios' many artistic practices. We delve into the "death positivity" movement, the gendered politics of necrophilia, and Lola's recently curated exhibition "Night Perfume; An Homage to Storyville" which explores New Orleans' early 20th century Red Light District through a contemporary lens. Find Lola on social media at @followyrlola and if you're in New Orleans, catch her exhibition up at Arrow Cafe until March 8th.
