    Ep 193: Longlegs; Happy as Peaches

    Daddyyyyyy! Mommyyyyy! It’s time to let us in so we can talk Osgood Perkins' highly-anticipated nightmare, Longlegs. Get ready for our take on the film's masterfully cryptic marketing, mysterious characters, and the fine line between laughter and screams that Nicolas Cage brings out in his bone-chilling performance as the film’s titular character. From its terrifying trailers to the palpable dread that grips audiences from the very first frames, what do you think? Does Longlegs stand tall among this year's horror offerings?

    Ep 192: Maxxxine; Blow-Your-Load Moments

    Maxine Minx is here and she's taking over more than just the Universal Backlot! In our latest episode, we're diving into Ti West's highly anticipated grand finale to his trilogy, Maxxxine. We know what you're thinking - how is this going to measure up against X and Pearl? We're stabbing into that very topic and bleeding into the campy 80s aesthetic, meta-commentary, and the effectiveness of blending reality with fiction in film. Seeking fame amidst the Satanic Panic may not have been the best idea, but what do you think? Will you accept a life you do not deserve?

    Ep 191: Hundreds of Beavers; The Corporate Blockbuster Antidote

    Carmela calls it "non-stop thrills." Josh insists it's earned a spot in his Letterboxd Top 4. Looney Tunes is hyperventilating and Charlie Chaplin is shaking. What could I be talking about? Obviously none other than this week's pick: Hundreds of Beavers. Crafted with a shoestring $150k budget and entirely self-distributed, it’s not difficult to see why this film is an instant cult classic. Join us as we camp out in the black-and-white wilderness and explore the evolution of modern comedy, creativity in the face of limitation, and the impact of streaming on the b-movie. Do you think you’re ready for a horde of cinematic beavers?

    Ep 190: I Saw the TV Glow; There is Still Time

    Babe, wake up, it’s an A24 week! With an absolutely stacked soundtrack, crises of identity, and surrealist nightmare fuel that feels like it was ripped straight out of the 90s, director Jane Schoenbrun held nothing back with her sophomore feature, I Saw the TV Glow. The Pink Opaque is the perfect canvas for us to get into self-discovery, the media we latched onto as kids, and the line between nostalgia and getting stuck in the past. This one seems to be a little divisive, so let us know what you think!

    Ep 189: Inception; Dream a Little Bigger

    With several Chris Nolan films back on the big screen, it's the perfect time to dive into Inception. Regal is re-releasing this mind-bending classic over a decade later, so we're strapping in to explore it all over again. Join us as we go level-by-level through the early careers of the film’s all-star cast, revisit the iconic shots, and break down its undeniable cultural impact. Remember when we were wide-eyed 15/16-year-olds, struggling to grasp the plot? Now, in our little retrospective, we get to see how Inception stacks up in our Nolan movie rankings. Don’t miss out! What’s your favorite Nolan film?

    Ep 188: Problemista; I Stand with Bank of America

    Though it may have been overshadowed by giant sandworms at the box office, Julio Torres did not hold back with his directorial debut, Problemista. In typical A24 fashion, the imagery is quirky and surreal, the characters are complex, and the sense of childlike wonder is unmistakable. Join us as we talk navigating the mazes of parental pressures, soul-crushing customer service interactions, and bureaucratic nightmares that make up adulthood. Because amidst all that, aren't we all just trying to find someone who understands us? Who knows, maybe we’re all just dead instead… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Ep 187: Dune: Part Two; Pesky Paul and the Reverse Hero’s Journey

    The spice must flow! Dune: Part Two has arrived, and it's a cinematic sandstorm. From the mind-blowing visual effects to the star-studded cast, join us as we dig deep into the immersive world of Arrakis, Frank Herbert's iconic legacy, and whether Part Two lived up to the hype. As always, we discuss what we liked, what we didn't, and if we’ll be sticking around for Part Three. Did the impossible-to-avoid memes and viral sandworm popcorn bucket prepare you for this visual feast?

    Ep 186: The Zone of Interest; The Film You See vs. The Film You Hear

    This week, we’re exploring one of the latest A24 films to hit the big screen, The Zone of Interest. Rarely do movies give us the chance to talk about issues that are so relevant to current events, but Jonathan Glazer ensures that we have context to do just that. Join the conversation as we discuss how it feels to be in a home with the commandant of Auschwitz, Glazer’s unconventional filming techniques, and allegories to modern conflicts that are impossible to ignore. Offering powerful reminders about what turning a blind eye truly looks like, The Zone of Interest makes it clear it’s up to us to heed the warning.
