Episode 81 – Interview with S.T. Joshi
We know that we’re a film podcast, but for this Halloween, our final treat is for the readers: S.T. Joshi, THE preeminent H.P. Lovecraft scholar in the entire world, takes time out of his busy schedule to stop on the podcast and take all things Lovecraft and horror.
The author, professor, and all around enthusiast talks with Jim about how he first discovered the late weird fiction author, what drew him to the texts, why he loves the horror genre, how he reconciles his love of a racist author with being an Indian-American, and — because it is a film podcast — his thoughts on some of the best Lovecraftian films out there.
To keep up on all things Joshi is doing and has done, be sure to visit his website and read his blog!
