THAT’S DARK FORMAT OVERVIEW MOVIE EPISODES HOT TAKES & COLD CUTS Our format is pretty simple. We’ve put together a long-form podcast where we watch and discuss some of the craziest films made. Considering one film per episode, we record each episode in two separate major sections – Hot Takes and Cold Cuts. In Hot Takes, we finish watching a film and immediately begin recording a discussion that attempts to make sense of what we just watched. We start with a brief character sketch and a short plot summary to orient those listeners who don’t want to watch the film. Then we move through two major sections. What is the movie about? And how did the movie make you feel? After processing our thoughts and emotions in the comfort of friends, we hold an Accountability section where we question the director and others who are responsible for the making of a controversial film. We end Hot Takes with a Loose Ends section devoted to addressing any lingering questions or topics we deferred during the show. Cold Cuts is recorded after a week of reflection. Abandoning immediate reactions for a more calculated approach, we dive back into the film armed with research and organized thoughts. Take Backs is our opening section, an opportunity for each host to re-consider and address any of the hotter takes from the previous recording. We then discuss how the movie has impacted us emotionally and mentally throughout the week before turning to Fact Checking. In this section, Danny leads us through interesting and sometimes ridiculous facts surrounding the production and history of the film. Next, Pappy leads a section where we sink into the philosophical and thematic elements brought up by each film. Afterward, David leads a section devoted to reviews where we discover some of the most nonsensical viewer opinions on the internet. We conclude with the Big Reveal where David and Pappy tell Danny the movie they have planned for next week. 05
THAT’S DARK FORMAT OVERVIEW THREADS MAJOR SERIES THEMES Threads is a crucial component of That’s <strong>Dark</strong>. These are our minor episodes. Each season, we open or return to four important threads that deal with significant themes that connect the films we watch. From genre and ethical cinema to spectacle and laughter, we consider the major philosophical aspects of our show. THE SOUND GAME CALLING A BLUFF This is a bonus episode that arose from a disagreement between Danny and David while discussing Grotesque. Here’s the gist. David thought the bodily sound effects were pretty convincing. Danny did not. To settle the debate, David came up with The Sound Game. It’s a simple challenge. David cue’s up both audio clips from the movie and compares them against other sounds, some from real life audio bites. Danny (and Pappy) have to try to guess which are real and which came from the movie. THE GLOSSARY OF TERMS INSIDE JOKES FOR LISTENERS An audio companion-piece for our listeners. We’re continually coining or repurposing ridiculous terminology. And we keep track of everything here. If you want to learn the meaning of “riding cowboy,” “going to the courthouse” or any of other phrases you’ll hear throughout each season, consult the That’s <strong>Dark</strong> Glossary of Terms. 06
