This is a podcast where a dad (Phil) and his teen (Ollie) talk about the films of Guillermo del Toro.
It’s anime! It’s a thriller! It’s bizarre! It’s awesome! It’s Satoshi Kon’s “Perfect Blue” on The Ecstasy of Influence on It’s Del Toro Time!

Yes, this is the video that will most likely go the most unwatched! It’s Pupi Avati’s “L’Arcano Incantatore” and it’s really good!
https://berenstainbearcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Arcano.mp3Who is the biggest GO-BO-LIN of them all?! The Monster! The Creation! The FRANKENSTEIN! Yes, it’s out BAZILLIONTH version of Frankenstein and we’d like to remind everyone that THE MONSTER IS NOT VERY NICE! It’s “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein” y’all on the Ecstasy of Influence!

https://ia600802.us.archive.org/27/items/del-toro-age-innocence/DelToro-AgeInnocence.mp3Welcome to the JUDGMENT ZONE! It’s Phil and Willow and we’re back to talk about Albert Brooks’ 1991 classic “Defending Your Life!” What a weird movie to come back on, I swear. Anyways, here it is!
https://ia600800.us.archive.org/0/items/ecstacy-defending-your-life/Ecstacy-Defending%20Your%20Life.mp3Aaaaaaaand, we’re done! It’s “A Little Something For Us Tempunauts” by Philip K. Dick and “The Dark Descent” is over! PARTY HORN NOISE!
https://ia600308.us.archive.org/7/items/del-toro-tempu/DelToro-Tempu.mp3WE’RE SO CLOSE TO THE END! It’s the penultimate “Dark Descent” story and it’s a whopper! “The Hospice” is quintessential Robert Aickman: it’s creepy, offbeat, weird, strange, chilling and inexplicable. We really loved it and now… only one story to go!
https://ia600303.us.archive.org/23/items/deltoro-hospice/Deltoro-Hospice.mp3What a mystery this story is! Willow isn’t sure if she likes it, or if it even qualifies as horror. I’m enamored of it, but can’t really decide what it’s about! PERFECT! It’s “The Asian Shore” by Thomas M. Disch!
https://ia800307.us.archive.org/20/items/del-toro-asian-shore/DelToro-AsianShore.mp3This week, it’s one of the most terrifying and terribly intimate stories we’ve yet covered. The cosmic horror of “The Willows” by Algernon Blackwood!
