BONUS: Interview with David Charbonier & Justin Powell Jul 11, 2025

Show notes

Let’s get intense! Zena sits down with the talented writer/director duo David Charbonier and Justin Powell to dive into their latest thriller, PUSH. The film follows Natalie, a pregnant realtor fighting for her life during a terrifying home invasion when a deranged client crashes her open house. With Natalie on the brink of giving birth, every second counts, making her survival all the more desperate. PUSH premieres on Shudder July 11th!

Like their previous films, PUSH unfolds almost entirely within an isolated mansion, creating a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere. David and Justin share with Zena how PUSH started as one of their earliest scripts, inspired by David’s background as a real estate photographer. They also discuss the film’s striking cinematography, crafted by Daniel Katz, whose atmospheric, ’90s-inspired visuals perfectly amplify the suspense.

Tune in for an inside look at PUSH and the creative minds behind it!

BONUS: Interview with Paul Etheredge & Jeffrey Reddick Jul 04, 2025

Show notes

Bonus episode alert! Zena sits down with two legends of the horror genre: writer-director Paul Etheredge (best known for the groundbreaking queer slasher HELLBENT) and Jeffrey Reddick (the mind behind FINAL DESTINATION and a key voice in modern horror).

They're here to talk about their latest collaboration: THE OTHER! A chilling, thought-provoking film that blends horror and psychological suspense with sharp social commentary. Together, they dive deep into the making of THE OTHER, from the layered storytelling and character development to themes of adoption, race, identity, and the creeping dread that drives the film’s core.

In THE OTHER, after years of infertility, Robin and Daniel adopt Kathelia, a mute orphan with a troubled past. But as her behavior grows more disturbing, they realize something far more sinister has entered their home…and their lives.

Currently streaming on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, and Fandango.

BONUS: Interview Andrew Bell Jun 13, 2025

Show notes

In this bonus episode, Zena sits down with director Andrew Bell to talk about his haunting directorial debut, BLEEDING, which is now available on SCREAMBOX!

Using vampire mythology as a lens, BLEEDING dives deep into the emotional and social fallout of America’s opioid crisis. The film follows Eric, a 17-year-old grieving the overdose death of his brother. When his cousin Sean is drawn into a dangerous underground world of using and selling blood, Eric is forced to confront addiction, family trauma, and the cost of trying to save someone who might not want to be saved.

This inspiring conversation touches on:

The personal and societal themes behind BLEEDING.

How Andrew turned his 2019 Columbia thesis into a full-length feature.

The power of horror to explore real-world trauma.

Why BLEEDING feels more relevant than ever.

Don’t miss this raw and revealing discussion about the film, its origins, and what Andrew hopes viewers take away from his story!
