Sibling Rivalry / Basket Case (1982) with Nichole Goble

Psychoanalysis: A Horror Therapy Podcast

This week Mike is joined once again by Nichole Goble of the Bodies of Horror podcast to discuss the 1982 exploitation and cult classic Basket Case directed by Frank Hennenlotter. This movie is a look at the sleazy underbelly of early '80s New York City and a piece of classic Gore in Camp. It’s also a deeply empathetic movie about how we look at those that are different from ourselves. We talk about how the beauty in this movie lies in how it treats its subjects in a very humane way whereas others would disregard them as freaks. We talk about the strong bond and stronger tension between twins and talk about the stress that comes with being the person who needs the care and support of a caregiver. We discuss the unique stressors that come with that Dynamic and how it can often lead to tense battles between siblings. We keep it loose and we keep it real and we hope you enjoy this episode.
