Somewhere, the hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, read that “elevated horror” is just a horror movie critics aren’t ashamed to like with the rest of them. It’s a silly term and you’ve got two film critics here who don’t buy it. There is quality to be found in all horror that doesn’t need an extra adjective. This week, they have a guest that supports them on that.

For their 73rd episode, two elevated film critics, worried dads, and non-kidnapping school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan welcome back special guest Cati Glidewell of “The Blonde in Front” to the shows. She’s back to talk about Scott Derrickson’s successful horror comeback The Black Phone. Don didn’t see this one, so he plays moderator while Will and Cati dial all the possible numbers for this Ethan Hawke vehicle.
