Geek On! What Movie Monster Represents The Fears Of The 21st Century?

Last time on “Geek On!” Kiernan Mac and Simon Colverson discussed the symbolism and reasoning behind why the zombie genre has become popular within modern media. After the show, many zombies were annihilated in the ensuing fight for survival as the duo attempted to leave the CKCU premises. However an eerie, mystic, ethereal force has drawn the duo back to the dreaded recording room at the CKCU station, on Halloween of all nights. Neither gentleman knows why they have been called back, yet there lingers a mutual desire to discuss monster movies. Spooky! Relive the discussion as host Kiernan Mac, along with returning guest Simon Colverson, delve into discussing which movie monster will come to represent the problems and fears of the 21st century. Why does humankind scare? Which Hitchcockian aspect of horror, and corresponding movie trope, has society become susceptible to? Where’s my Ferrari, Magnum? Find out only on Geek On!
