INFESTATION: SXSW 2021 – THE THIRD ROUND

Bob and Chris are back with a look at four more films that debuted at SXSW this year. First we have “Violet”, with Olivia Munn playing a hollywood executive whose inner voice is outwardly expressive to the audience’s point of view. Next is “The Spine of Night” a hard-R “Heavy Metal” magazine style animated film not for the kids. Then we tackle “Sound of Violence”, a strange, culty slasher about a woman who experiences powerful synesthesia when she kills. Last is “Alien on Stage”, the story of a small group of bus drivers in England who put on a stage performance of the famous movie and became kinda famous themselves.

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.

If it weren’t for sad music and scary stories I wouldn’t be as well-adjusted and cheerful as I am today. Moonlighting as a musician off and on since adolescence, I am as big a fan of scores and needle drops as I am of slow zooms, production design, and third act exposition. Just about all of my screen time is spent on international horror, drama, and hour long episodic. Big fan of genre, and the biggest fan of supernatural horror and dark sci-fi with meaningful representation and narratives that use trauma, grief, and grace as more than surface-level content. Also, I read a ton of modern horror novels/comics and stan Matt Berry. In the before times I worked music and film festivals across the US and will hopefully return to that sometime in the future.
