7. The Blair Witch Project and Diabolique

A Halloween special where Stephen and Albert discuss a modern horror classic, The Blair Witch Project (1999), alongside a French suspense classic, Diabolique (1955) (or Les Diaboliques), a film that would inspire Psycho (1960, and 1998 - why not?) and is seen by many as an early influence on modern horror.

Get ready for reappraisals, muted responses and impassioned defences. Also, listen to the end for some horror recommendations from Stephen.

1. 'Birth of a Nation' and 'Gone With the Wind'

Two infamous, overtly racist and hugely successful films. Join Stephen and Albert as they try to navigate the thorny conversation around these films, unpicking their influence; how they reflect their time periods; why they are pernicious; the dangers of a canonical approach to film and the key question: should you watch actually watch these films?

Also, Stephen lists 13 essential films by 13 different Black filmmakers, films to watch instead.
