    Just as Mowgli one day appeared suddenly among a litter of wolf cubs, so too did Walt Disney’s final animated film appear on our DVD shelves.

    Ep. 4: Let Me In (and some Let The Right One In)

    This episode, we discuss the American retelling of the Swedish vampire classic, exploring our interpretations of both films’ open-ended storytelling. We look at the widely different tones of these near-identical films, and how both cleared the path for the “elevated horror” boom of the 2010s. Things get heavy as we consider the subtext of the films: From the whitewashed grooming of teen vampire romances, to queer coding in horror storytelling, to the unsettling connection the two hold in the public consciousness.Ultimately, we decide whether they live on for eternity on our shelves, or whether they bleed themselves dry after having been uninvited from our home… This is a public episode.

    Ep. 2: Reservoir Dogs

    This wasn’t the first time that director Quentin Tarantino put his foot in his mouth. Inspired by his viral comments about beloved actors, Heather and Mattie revisit his debut film and discuss the casual racism, sexism, and toxic masculinity on display in this 90s independent hit. Does the artisanship hold up, and will it be enough to keep the DVD on the shelf? Or will it be sliced from the collection as 70s pop music blasts from the radio? This is a public episode.
