TAATM #469: Bug vs. Arachnophobia
Erin and Paul review two films about infestations of creepy-crawly critters: William Friedkin's harrowing 2006 psychological drama BUG, and Frank Marshall's cheerfully junky 1990 horror comedy ARACHNOPHOBIA.
Each episode, Paul Matwychuk (film critic for CBC Radio and EIGHTEEN BRIDGES magazine), Heather Noel (owner of the alternative video store The Videodrome), and Erin Fraser (curator of the Graphic Content and Reel Family Cinema series at Metro Cinema) watch a double feature of two thematically related films, one "arty," the other "trashy," and then debate which one deserves to win the week.
