Podcast: Dakota Arsenault of Contra Zoom Plays “Make/Remake” with “The Invisible Man”

By: Staff –

In a new feature to Aesthetic Magazine, we are proud to announce that we are the new presenting partner for Toronto-based film podcast Contra Zoom. Your host, Dakota Arsenault, goes in depth about everything film; from lists, to reviews, and more!

On this episode, Dakota plays “Make/Remake” with the new horror film The Invisible Man. “Make/Remake” examines how two films that share the same story. It isn’t about what film was better or worse, but how they are similar and different while following the same arcs. In this episode we look at James Whale’s 1933 film The Invisible Man and Leigh Whannell’s 2020 remake The Invisible Man. Both films tell the story of a man who discovers how to make himself invisible through science and the disastrous, and deadly consequences it has on other people. Joining Dakota this episode is Calum McNab who hosts Scaretroducing, a horror anthology themed podcast.
