Don Shanahan
Fans and followers of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast likely know that co-host Don Shanahan, our own Film Obsessive Editor in Chief, is about as much of a horror fan as a cat is of water. He’s tried his far share, and it’s not his area of expertise. His podcast co-host Will Johnson loves the genre and can’t get enough of it. There’s value to all cinema. So, therefore, arms became twisted for the good of the podcast. It was time to walk into “a new nightmare.”
For their 218th episode, two slashed film critics, two dream-trapped dads, and two meta teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, circle back a little to spooky movie season as Don finally dips his toes into Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. To bring in the first-timer, Will suggested taking a look at Wes Craven’s bookends of the 1984 original and his heavily self-aware sequel, 1994’s Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. This gave our guys quite the slices of commentary and reaction for a bloody good episode. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
