MACHINES 20 • Hollow Man (2000) + The Invisible Man (2020)

This week, we’re stripping it all back (literally) with a look at two very different takes on invisibility, male ego, and coercion: Paul Verhoeven’s Hollow Man and Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man, both reimagining H.G.Wells' classic tale of a mad scientist who discovers invisibility and then comes to regret it. Joining a very sick Anna is friend of the show Ruby McGuigan.

MACHINES 19 • The Horrors of Y2K

 The early 2000s were many things: 9/11, camera phones, government surveillance, MSN Messenger, low-rise jeans, Big Brother and the most extra horror films you can think of. Author Kirsty Logan joins the podcast to go over what makes this moment in horror history so unique, by looking at a wave of horror films from the early 2000s that channelled the paranoia and confusion of the emerging digital age: My Little Eye (2002), The Collingswood Story (2002), Feardotcom (2002).
