Episode 30: The Nightmare is Real

Layers like an onion. Critiques sharper than Freddy's knives. More meta commentary than a grad school literature class. What is it? Wes Craven's New Nightmare.

There's so much depth and commentary in this movie we probably could have done two podcasts on it, but we managed to cut it down to one.

We really hope you've enjoyed listening to our Nightmare on Elm Street retrospective as much as we did recording it. Stay tuned for something new next podcast!

Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11.

Nightmares 1 and 3 were covered in Episode 24 and Episode 25.

Nightmares 4 and 5 were covered in Episode 26 and Episode 27.

Freddy's Dead and Freddy v Jason were covered in Episode 28 and Episode 29.

Episode 25: The Nightmare Begins Part Two

If you haven't listened to Part One, STOP. Go listen and we'll be here when you get back.

Dawn and Jen pick up where they left off, finishing their discussion of A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors. The Obi-Wan Kenobi arc of Nancy Thompson, a few crazy effects that didn't make the final cut and a recent scientific discovery that puts the "bastard son of a hundred maniacs" in a whole new light. 

This episode is the second part of a two-parter that covers A Nightmare on Elm Street and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.  

Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11.

Our heroines, Nancy and Kristen, were also part of our look at Final Girls in Episode 2.

Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11.
