'HAPPILY EVER SLASHER' LOOKS FOR LINKS BETWEEN ROM-COM & HORROR
"He kills her with spirals," giggles one of the two hosts in the latest episode of the podcast Happily Ever Slasher. "All’s fair in love and gore" is the tagline for the podcast, hosted by Amanda and Tara, which looks at one romantic comedy film and one horror film every week, "to find out just how much the two have in common."
The latest episode links Garry Marshall's Pretty Woman and Brian De Palma's Body Double, which, Amanda and Tara note, both take place in Los Angeles, with shared themes of authenticity and performance. "Can we call ourselves feminists and still enjoy these movies?" they ask in the episode description. "(We can and we do.) But we can admit it’s a BIG problem. BIG. HUGE. The lesson this week: Life is not a fairytale. Princesses need to save themselves. So pry yourself away from the telescope and join us."
