Well, it&#8217;s not so much a reboot as it is a sequel.\u00a0But whatever you want to call it, I hope you&#8217;ll join me for the long-awaited (for me at least) third episode of The Last Theater on the Left Podcast!<\/p>\n<p>In this episode, I discuss a movie I recently watched for the first time and can&#8217;t stop thinking about, 1977&#8217;s <em>House<\/em>!\u00a0This film\u00a0has gotten a lot of praise and has been called &#8220;crazy&#8221; and &#8220;incomprehensible&#8221; by many reviewers, but I think most of the commentary I&#8217;ve seen online, even though it\u00a0might be positive and well-meaning, misses the point of this fabulously wild Japanese horror movie. Listen as I dig into the deeper meaning behind the frenetic visuals of\u00a0<em>House<\/em> and try to get people to view it from a different perspective. Yes, it&#8217;s a crazy movie, but it&#8217;s so much more than that.\u00a0It&#8217;s crazy for a purpose, and I think it&#8217;s brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>Download the show here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/media.transistor.fm\/3b9fb67a.mp3\">Episode 3 &#8211; House<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to the feed here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/lasttheater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/lasttheater<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Show Summary:<\/strong><br \/>\n0:00 &#8211; Reintroduction to the podcast<br \/>\n8:39 &#8211; Review and analysis of\u00a0<em>House<\/em><br \/>\n44:51 &#8211; Movie recommendations inspired by<em> House<br \/>\n<\/em>52:29 &#8211; Outro and plugs<br \/>\nTotal Run Time: 54:24<\/p>\n<p>Theme music: &#8220;Rising Game&#8221; by Kevin MacLeod (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.incompetech.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">incompetech.com<\/a>)<br \/>\nLicensed under Creative Commons: <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">By Attribution 3.0<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for listening!
