Black Sheep (2006) | Episode #14

In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2006 film Black Sheep. 

Episode Highlights: Katherine talks about ecocriticism, Anthony claims the true stars of the show are of the four-legged variety, and--in addition to a delightfully extended bit on our career dreams of being horror creatures--we discuss the importance of good creature effects.    

A Dose of Scholarship: For a specific look at ecocriticism and the horror novel, check out Stephen A. Rust's 2014 article "Comfortably Numb" published in the journal Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment. And for those interested in digging deeper into the field of ecocriticism, you cannot go wrong with starting with Cheryll Glotfelty and Harold Fromm's The Ecocriticism Reader: Landmarks in Literary Ecology and Ken Hiltner's Ecocriticism: The Essential Reader.
