Episode 199: Filmmaker Stewart Thorndike and Threads (1984)
This week we're joined by filmmaker Stewart Thorndike. Stewart was the writer/director behind Lyle and her latest film Bad Things is currently streaming on Shudder. We chat about her film, her relationship to horror and then dive into the bottomless pit of bleakness that is Threads. Nuclear war, deformed babies, the hopelessness surrounding a nuclear holocaust, why it seems to be so easy for people to be in denial about certain things...we cover a good amount of stuff.Follow Stewart on Instagram.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Twitter.
