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.

Episode 26: The Nightmare Continues Part One

Jen and Dawn descend further into Freddy-mania with a look at how the series reached critical pop-culture mass, the trouble with diminishing box office returns, and the production schedule from hell. And that's all before they jump into their look at A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.

Join them for the first of a two part look of Freddy's fouth and fifth offerings, along with slight detours through Jen's childhood, a plea to the Women In Caskets's rich fans (they have those, right?), and some fangirling over soundtracks. 

This episode is the first part of a two-parter that covers A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child.  

Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11.
Nightmares 1 and 3 were covered in Episode 24 and Episode 25.

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