Chris talked about one of his aims to use the \"genre as a Trojan horse\" and how he's going to \"smuggle much weightier themes inside of a movie that just looks cute and fun and scary\", citing \"Get Out\". We also get into how 'best of' lists or a list of favorites can be problematic, how there are so many films to choose from. Chris also talks about how he discovered his authentic voice, not taking criticism personally, and focusing on being a better listener which has improved his life as a husband, a father, and made him infinitely happier with his solo and collaborative work. \n\nStay tuned after the outro music to hear Skipper say, \"I see\" — which kicks off Siri and reaks some frustration. This is a good reminder that voice user interfaces (voice UI) are always listening. And we're talking about you — Siri, Alexa, Cortana, etc.\n\nThis episode was edited and mastered by Troy Lococo.Special Guest: Chris Landon.Links:The Science Behind How We TasteAlfred Hitchcock's \"Psycho\" (1960) — With Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh.\"I Spit on Your Grave\" (1978)\"Halloween\" (1978) — Directed by John Carpenter.
