POP ART: Episode 113, Windchill/Dead End

POP ART SAYS MERRY XMAS: I know, I know, I’m coming down the chimney late on this one. I’ve been slowed down by some various health issues, and the holidays, though I’m feeling a lot better now, thanks for asking. I hope I don’t get coal in my stocking for this.

But on to Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture. It’s the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I’ll select a film from the more art/classic/indie/foreign side of cinema with a connection to it.

LONESOME HIGHWAYS: “I just forgot the number to 9-1-1!” For episode 113, I welcome back my annual Christmas guest, Jay Cluitt (of The Deep Blue Sea podcast), who really loves holiday movies. We have chosen to discuss two Christmas adjacent horror films: Wind Chill and Dead End. Blizzards, stalled cars, dead ends, getting lost, ghosts, dead people. What is worse than coming home for Christmas? It’s the drive home for Christmas.

In this episode we discuss why Christmas adjacent films are so popular. We also discuss the rise of Christmas horror films; just what is it with that? Jay liked Dead End more than Wind Chill, but both are quite scary and we certainly agree Emily Blunt was great. In the end, we learned the moral of the story is that if you come across a baby carriage on a lonely road, do not, DO NOT, stop. Drive off.
