The “wall of fame” at Footsteps recording studios. I did a bunch of documenting there last week and it will become a show in the near future.

Did you know? Almost every footstep, every chair creak and every rustle of clothing—really all the non-musical, non-dialogue sounds you hear in a mainstream, notable box-office movie are painstakingly re-recorded, in sync with the video, by a ‘foley artist’ in a recording studio.

On the new season of Sounds Familiar (starting 9/7) we’re going into the studio with the foley team behind The Life Aquatic, The 40 Year-Old Virgin and Cloverfield, to find out what it takes to be the discreet (and not-so-discreet) sounds of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Episode of Siskel & Ebert from 1980 regarding violence toward women in horror films.

This video was a point of inspiration for the topic of this week’s podcast, in which I speak with Dr. Lisa Wade, the founder of Sociological Images and author of this blog post.

…sorry everyone, I may be spamming a bit this week because the first episode of my podcast will be available this week. I’ll try to keep it to a bearable minimum, but please know that, in addition to merely shameless self-promotion, I’m really excited about and proud of this project.

Also, take note: while you can subscribe in iTunes with the link above, it will be at least a few more days before the podcast is listed in the iTunes directory.

Thanks for your patience.
