Bones (2001) feat. Carolyn Mauricette

<p>Prep your dogg jokes and don't go into the derelict old house because we're checking out Ernest R Dickerson's 2001 blaxploitation / slasher / Italian Gothic horror film <em>Bones</em>. Joining us is Carolyn Mauricette, Development Coordinator &amp; Programmer of the <a href="https://www.bloodinthesnow.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blood In The Snow</a> film festival, who has a deep affection for both Pam Grier and Snoop Dogg.</p><p>This episode is, first and foremost, an apology for sleeping on the film, which is a ton of fun. We heap praise on Dickerson's direction, the film's litany of homages and its many visually stunning sequences. <em>Bones</em> has characters we actually care about, doesn't make a big deal about a mixed race relationship and invests a ton of screen time on Snoop &amp; Grier's romance that other films would have cut out.</p><p>Plus: the agelessness of Grier and Bianca Lawson, undead decapitated heads, the film's questionable marketing, the lack of studio confidence in black horror and, finally, Carolyn's hilarious edible story.</p><p>Questions?
