    FEB 25

    Stephen Herek's 1992 The Mighty Ducks

    Our 45th episode takes a scalpel to the heart warming redemption arcs of a yuppie lawyer and gaggle of ice skate wearing urchins. Quack quack, Mr Ducksworth.

    JAN 5

    Walter Hill's 1979 The Warriors

    Gang violence, flamboyant costumes and a race to get home. For our 42nd episode talked about New York in the 1970s via this iconic cult film. Can you dig it?

    Tony Randel and Clive Barker's 1988 Hellraiser 2

    12/03/2025

    Robin Hardy's 1973 The Wicker Man

    11/11/2025

    William Friedkin's 1973 The Exorcist

    We accidentally broke our 'no high art' rule for our 39th episode. Oh well. Join us for blasphemy, foul language and many other faux pas in our latest edition of Dissect the Direct. The power of Christ compels you...
