Echoes of Silence – The Lasting Legacy of Silent Films

Lights, camera, message us. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2527210/open_sms] Before the dialogue, before the soundtracks, there was silence—and yet cinema spoke volumes. In this episode of Behind the Slate, Jules and Devon journey back to the era of Chaplin, Keaton, and Murnau to uncover how the earliest filmmakers crafted stories that still shape the way movies are made today. From expressive performances and groundbreaking camera work to the editing techniques that defined visual storytelling, we break down the silent film innovations that echo through modern blockbusters and indie gems alike. Whether it’s the raw tension of A Quiet Place or the breathtaking visuals of Mad Max: Fury Road, the silent era’s fingerprints are everywhere. 🎧 Join us as we explore the artistry of silence—and why its influence will never fade.

The Texas Witch – When Legends Hunt Back

Lights, camera, message us. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2527210/open_sms] In this episode of Behind the Slate, Jules and Devon break down Gianna Lutz and Andrew Evans’ indie horror The Texas Witch. Set in Jacksonville Forest, the story blends campfire folklore with modern fear—missing people, grief, clout-chasing YouTubers, and the chilling legend of Emily Covington. We unpack what makes the script tick: its sharp pacing, grounded dialogue, and layered character arcs. Plus, we dive into exclusive Q&A insights from the filmmakers—why they chose to root the legend in real Texas history, how they balanced practical and CGI gore, and why the ending has audiences asking: did Piper survive, or did she become the witch herself? If you love horror that feels real, messy, and unforgettable, this episode will keep you out of the woods for good.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
