Kicking the Seat celebrates the scary season by looking back at Carrie with Aaron Christensen, of Horror 101 with Dr. A.C.! Yes, Brian De Palma's horror masterpiece turns 40 this year, and our friends at Scream! Factory have unleashed an extras-packed, gorgeously restored Blu-ray, which the guys talk about in-depth. What holds up four decades on? What doesn't? Can Ian be forgiven for criticizing one of our most beloved visionary filmmakers?
Also, Aaron provides a status update on his annual Scare-A-Thon, which this year benefits the Greater Chicago Food Depository. You can sign up to help horror fight hunger by emailing him at drach101@gmail.com.
And don't forget to visit Classic Cinemas Elk Grovetonight for the next installment of the Critic's Classics Series. F This Movie's Patrick Bromley will introduce Wes Craven's landmark horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and host a Q&A after the show! All your screams come true at 7pm!
Lastly, Ian teases his appearance on the upcoming episode of Michael Smith's White City Cinema Radio Hour podcast! He sat down with the writer/director of Cool Apocalypse and with David Fowlie of Keeping it Reel to discuss the Chicago International Film Festival--which kicks off tomorrow!
