Adventures in Moviegoing with Edgar Wright

British director Edgar Wright, the avid genre remixer behind Shaun of the Dead , Hot Fuzz , Scott Pilgrim vs. the World , Baby Driver , and Last Night in Soho <, sits down with critic Alicia Malone to discuss his early moviegoing memories (including sneaking into Gremlins as a child), his abiding love for popular genres, and what he looks for in a good horror movie. The films he has chosen to present reflect his omnivorous embrace of art house and grindhouse alike, with the British teen exploitation shocker Beat Girl and Mario Bava’s hyperstylish giallo classic Blood and Black Lace rubbing shoulders with masterpieces by Max Ophuls, Ingmar Bergman, and Luis Buñuel.
