Episode 012: Under the Silver Lake (2018)

Posted on August 18, 2021February 20, 2022 By Genre Exposure No Comments on Episode 012: Under the Silver Lake (2018)

In this episode, we wrap up our special block of episodes exploring the much-discussed and often maligned, but perhaps misunderstood, subgenre of “Elevated” Horror. The final film is David Robert Mitchell’s 2018 feature Under the Silver Lake. A curious follow-up to his horror hit It Follows (2014), this neo-noir black comedy weaves a complicated tale following Sam as he struggles between fantastical conspiracy theories and reality while undergoing a personal quest to investigate the disappearance of his neighbor. The gang charts out the many references and celebrates the vibe of old Hollywood throughout the film. Michael dives deep into the silver lake becoming completely enamored with the film. Meanwhile, Jason finds himself less impressed with its particular merits giving some balanced criticism. But before that, Dustin breaks all the rules presenting a rapid-fire account of the many films he managed to check out while on vacation. And so much more!

What We’ve Been Watching:
-Jason: Tenet (2020)
-Dustin’s Vacation Special: The Invisible Man (2020) & Possessed (1947) & The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) & Knives Out (2019) & Searching (2018) & Benny Loves You (2019)
-Michael: Mulholland Drive (2001)
