Episode 275 - Valentine (25th Anniversary)

Today we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Valentine (2001), the stylish horror thriller from director Jamie Blanks. Join us as we break down the film’s blend of romance and fear and shine a spotlight on the ensemble—David Boreanaz, Denise Richards, Marley Shelton, Jessica Capshaw, Katherine Heigl, and Jessica Cauffiel. We discuss what made Valentine stand out in the early-2000s horror scene and why it still resonates with fans today. Joining in on this discussion is Roger Conners of Dark Night of the Podcast as he helps us dive into how Valentine was ahead of its time in its depiction of its core female cast and with its takes on toxic masculinity that has gone a long way to turn into a cult favorite that continues to entertain today. Love Hurts but this listen certainly won’t!
