Black Death Podcast: Peg Aloi, Medieval Horror, and Religious Dialogue

 

TheoFantastique Podcast 2.2 for 2011 is now available. In this edition my special guest is Peg Aloi, a religion scholar and film critic and who maintains her own blog at The Witching Hour, who engages me about the film Black Death directed by Christopher Smith. In this interview and dialogue, Peg and I discuss the film cinematically, as well as its religious elements (bringing together our different religious traditions, an idea I first suggested at The Wild Hunt), and how this film may, in the words of Smith, function as a dark parable for our times. TheoFantastique Podcast 2.2 can be listened to by clicking this link.

See the trailer below. This is a difficult film to find on DVD, but you can watch it on your computer through the TheoFantastique Store via Amazon.com Instant Video at this link.
