  • Episode 87: The Cabin in the Woods

    In Episode 87, the Philosophy in Film Podcast descends into the horror-comedy labyrinth of The Cabin in the Woods (2012), where slasher tropes and cosmic horror are delightfully turned inside out. Craig breaks out his sales tactics in Producer’s Notes (8:34), setting the stage for Alain to deliver a chilling Beauclair Synopsis (21:08), diving into the intricate setup of five unsuspecting friends venturing into a remote cabin, only to discover they’re players in a far darker game. Chris unpacks the metaphysical questions lurking beneath in Philosopher's Corner (42:58), dissecting themes of free will, ritual, and our culture’s fascination with horror. The Round Table (50:47) sees the gang debate everything from the film’s genre-blending to its critique of audience complicity, while the Reviews (1:23:41) segment uncovers their personal horror thresholds, wrapping up with #Mailbag (1:33:51). Join us as we open the basement door and explore all the philosophical and non-philosophical layers that The Cabin in the Woods brings to the horror genre.
