The Cinematic Schematic closes out our December theme of “Misunderstood Movie Monsters” with a Guillermo Del Toro monster themed episode that includes a special panel discussion talking Pan’s Labyrinth, our review/analysis of Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water with Laron Chapman, and the latest edition of Sound Trek from Alexandra Bohannon featuring the score from one of Japan’s most iconic monsters.

This month’s “Sound Trek” takes a trip into the supernatural, the realm of Japanese sci-fi and into the alien invasion genre. Links to all of Alexandra’s selections can be found below.

We close with a special conversation discussing Pan’s Labyrinth with The Oklahoman‘s culture writer and member of the Oklahoma Film Critics Circle, Nathan Poppe, Oklahoma filmmaker Rogelio Almeida Jr, and Christopher Shultz from Lit Reactor and the Oklahoma Film Critics Circle. The panel discussion took place after a screening of Pan’s Labyrinth at Tower Theatre in Oklahoma City.
