## Resource

It Follows that we should probably talk about this movie before Dan stages a coup. We’re five episodes deep into our Liminal Spaces season, and Sarah has chosen David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows (2014). While Sarah has watched this enough times to be legally haunted, Dan is still convinced that a Detroit setting should automatically involve more OCP interference or at least a robot that can’t climb stairs. From the weird dreamlike vibes of the anachronistic production design to Disasterpeace’s unforgettable synth score, we’re asking the big questions: Is it about ghost crabs or just the inevitable, slow-walking march towards death? We also explore the cinema of the suburbs where Maika Monroe is often floating on water and Keir Gilchrest is always holding a beer. What to expect from this episode: Dan explains why his knowledge of Detroit begins and ends with Robocop and car manufacturing. Sarah breaks down why David Robert Mitchell used 360 degree pans to create a sense of hyper-alert horror. We debate if Maika Monroe’s character qualifies as a final girl. Chats around the anachronisms, including that legendary (and non-existent) electronic clam-shell phone. We discuss the real-life body found during location scouting that changed the productions plan. We ponder the potential sequel and whether it will go in a full Aliens style James Cameron direction.
