Season 9, Episode 16 (Originally Released on October 30th, 2025)

Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show. Today, I’m joined by comedian, filmmaker, and host of the long-running podcast It’s Always Halloween, Lucé Tomlin-Brenner. Lucé’s deep love for classic horror and appreciation for the macabre make her the perfect guest to join me in revisiting Alejandro Amenábar’s The Others — a Gothic ghost story steeped in atmosphere, grief, and faith.

In this episode, we’ll dig into what defines Gothic horror and why The Others stands as one of the last great studio ghost films of its era. We’ll talk about Amenábar’s inspirations, the film’s critical and box office success, and the enduring emotional weight of Nicole Kidman’s performance. So light a few candles, draw the curtains, and join us as we wander through the fog and shadows of The Others.
