Tobe Hooper has done it again. On the latest (Pod)Casters of Horror, Bennett and Jim argue that Dance of the Dead is a late-career triumph.\n\nMasters of Horror doesn\u2019t have the best reputation and perhaps no episode has attracted more derision than Tobe Hooper\u2019s post-apocalyptic Dance of the Dead. Among the most n\xfc-metal pieces of media ever created, Dance of the Dead follows a post-nuclear war town with drugged-up teenagers looking for thrills. Featuring Robert Englund as a twisted night club emcee, it\u2019s the first episode of the series to truly feel like a nightmare that you can\u2019t see on network TV.\n\nUnsurprisingly, Bennett and Jim find plenty to love in the episode. They sing the praises of Robert Englund\u2019s go-for-broke performance, the scuzzy mise-en-scene, and Hooper\u2019s total disinterest in narrative. It\u2019s another late-career triumph from one of the best to ever do it.\xa0\n\nListen for yourself.
