Ghouls Next Door

• Dandadan: Fan Service, Puberty Horrors, and Unlikely Heroes

  As quirky and charming as Dandadan is on the surface, full of bright color, relatable young protagonists navigating first love and their growing bodies, wacky alien creatures and exciting fight sequences, Dandadan has a brilliant knack for knocking its viewers off their feet with unjarring and upsetting backstories. Dandadan is not always an easy watch. While there is constant, excessive stripping down of the story’s young protagonists, if you’re able to stomach the initial uneasiness to grapple with the entire picture, you’ll find that creator Tatsu shares our concerns and fears. Ghouls discuss whether this show can be labeled as fan service or social commentary, cover the horrors of puberty, the power of friendship, and the unlikely hero, Momo.

• Blood Quantum (2019): Red They Dead, White They Bite

Ghouls revisit one of their all time favorite horror films that turns the classic monster, zombie, into a harsh history lesson.
