Trap (2024): "Perceiving Hole"

About this episode

The episode discusses the film 'Trap' (2024), exploring its themes of music and family dynamics.

Spookies, it feels like we've been waiting forever to work this theme month into our schedule, but one could also argue the genre was only invented in 2024. Nonetheless, we'd like to welcome Pop Star Horror Month to the stage, and we've invited Trap (2024) to be our opening act. A true daddy-daughter film where Josh Hartnett plays a doting father who moonlights as a serial killer, this flick also features a collab between writer-director M. Night Shyamalan and his own double act offspring, Saleka Shyamalan. Come join the concert with us on our newest Spooky Tuesday as we talk tunes, mommy issues, and more.  References: https://people.com/all-about-m-night-shyamalan-kids-8691825 https://consequence.net/2024/06/trap-saleka-interview-lady-raven-release/ https://www.theringer.com/2024/08/05/movies/trap-movie-concert-music-lady-raven-m-night-shyamalan-saleka https://ca.rollingstone.com/music/trap-m-night-shyamalans-daughter-saleka-as-lady-raven-shares-first-song-from-dads-new-film/ https://bloody-disgusting.com/music/3823462/saleka-releases-lady-raven-with-special-guest-kid-cudi-listen-now/ https://www.nylon.com/nylon-nights/saleka-shyamalan-trap-premiere-interview
