Pop Life: Things That Disturb Me

The vampire horror genre is making a comeback and the science fiction anthology show Black Mirror has a few new episodes available on Netflix.  Those are the topics on this week’s Pop Life podcast.

Host Joe Lee is joined by Dr Kendall R. Phillips, Professor of Communications and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University and author of Projected Fears: Horror Films and American Culture, to discuss Joe’s long-held fear of blood-sucking vampires and the recent slate of vampire themed shows appearing on cable television.  The two also discuss the terrifying neural implant technology that appears in several episodes of the Netflix show Black Mirror.  Take a listen as Dr. Phillips helps Joe work through his issues.
