The Host (2013): "Would You Still Love Me If I Was A Worm?"

Spooky Tuesday — A Horror Movie Podcast

It's no Twilight, but we still need to talk about The Host (2013). No, not the Bong Joon Ho horror — we mean the Stephenie Meyer movie adaptation. That's right, it's time for another Fifth Tuesday, a.k.a. one of our non-spooky bonus episodes, and given that this film features a bonafide intergalactic invasion, we knew it would be the perfect way to close out Alien Month. After four weeks of figuring out all the various ways humanity might put a stop to attacks from outer space, it was time to ask the really important questions: What happens when the aliens win? Also, what if they're sort of sexy? With Saoirse Ronan doing her best bad Southern accent and Diane Kruger serving cunt in a ribbed white tank top, our latest installment of Spooky Tuesday does the work to tackle all the important topics: communism, supernatural love squares, and the true test of any romance.
