S2 Ep 12: Holiday Special - Krampus

The Monstrous Feminine

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! To continue with the festivities, this episode we talk about the 2015 horror comedy, 'Krampus', directed by Michael Dougherty. 🐐🎅🏻🔮 We had a hard time categorising this film within the comedy genre: is it a critical satire that mocks to make a point or just bad slapstick? We also went into the strange folklore that relied on shoehorning in a Nazi Germany subplot, which felt inappropriate and incongruent. Finally, we discussed the issue of fat phobia in American comedy. You can find us on most platforms @themonstrousfemininepodcast, and on Twitter, @themonfempod.
