Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad Valeska Griffiths & Joe Lipsett

Terry and Joe return to talk about Cronenberg's queerest film yet: the 1991 adaptation of Naked Lunch.
This one is tough, particularly if you're less familiar with the life and work of William S. Burroughs. Visually it's very surreal and fantastical (the typewriters!), but narratively it doesn't come together in a satisfying way.
Plus: the amazing FX, real life manslaughter, creature buttholes, and *that* Roy Scheider cameo

After wrapping up Clive Barker's Books of Blood, Bryan and Joe dig into Brannon Braga's Trick r'Treat-style anthology, Books of Blood (2020).
It's...fine. Too polished, strange story choices and Bryan is *not* a fan of how much the film hangs on the character of Jenna (Britt Robertson).
Plus: Barker's involvement, speculation about how this went from a TV series to a standalone film, and comparisons to Hulu other Barker adaptation, Hellraiser (2022).

For this episode, Nichole covers 2013’s Under the Skin. Does having a disabled character (played by a disabled actor) as a pivotal part of another character’s turning point feel exploitative or authentic approach? How would it feel to shed the skin that has been a point of pain or even trauma? Would you get into a non-descript van with a stranger?

Sexy & Surreal returns for a third series as Terry and Joe tackle David Lynch's romantic road trip/crime movie, Wild at Heart (1990).
This film is *hot*, but it doesn't quite come together for us, despite the fine work of both Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage.
Plus: references to Elvis and The Wizard of Oz, wanting more of MVP Diane Ladd, Twin Peaks cross-overs, and debate about Lynch doing sex and romance.
