Episode 2: Mimic

“These things can imitate us, they can infiltrate us, they can breed a legion before anyone would notice.”
-Mimic (1997)
Welcome back to the latest installment of Del Toro Discourse! In today’s episode, we’re discussing the filmmaker’s second film (and first / almost last American film) Mimic (1997). Listen to us chat about Bug Mama / entomologist Dr. Susan Tyler’s lack of glove etiquette, untapped monster storylines, casual child murder in the sewers, the genuine horror of working with the Weinsteins, and the debut of the one and only Doug Jones in Del Toro’s filmography!
