In this podcast we are tying into the Lovecraftian vibe of our Stuart Gordon October by talking about the Richard Stanley-directed Color Out of Space. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie as a cult classic and an exemplar of cosmic horror, how it treats Lovecraft's prose and adapts it for the modern viewer and how it attempts to mesh sensibilities of The Thing with an atmosphere of an ayahuasca ceremony. We also talk about raising alpacas and doing witchcraft in the woods as rich white people hobbies, Lovecraft's problematic views seeping through the narrative, how the filmmakers' choice to use magenta as the titular color out of space is a decision rooted in physics, how the word fuchsia doesn't make sense and much more!
