    Jennifer's Body (2009)

    She's not eating people, she's eating boys. Peyton and Andrew review the 2009 horror comedy cult classic ‘Jennifer’s Body’! Megan Fox stars as Jennifer, a popular high schooler who finds herself possessed by a bloodthirsty demon. As Jennifer starts picking off their male classmates one by one, Jennifer’s best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) must do whatever it takes to stop her. Written by Oscar winner Diablo Cody (‘Juno’) and directed by Karyn Kusama (‘The Invitation’), ‘Jennifer’s Body’ received mixed reviews when it hit theaters, but it’s gradually found a rabid fanbase. Adam Brody, J.K. Simmons, and Kyle Gallner round out the cast of this modern Halloween classic. Listen to the latest episode of Cinephomaniacs wherever you get your podcasts.

    You Can See Everything

    Why would we deceive you? Andrew and Peyton review ‘You Can See Everything’, the new Elizabeth Holmes documentary from A24, in a new episode of Cinephomaniacs. In 2014, Forbes called Elizabeth Holmes the youngest self-made female billionaire for her company Theranos. She falsely claimed that their device could perform every test on a single drop of blood. In 2022, Holmes was found guilty of defrauding investors and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. Directed by Nathan Fielder (‘Nathan for You’) and Lance Oppenheim (‘Primetime’), ‘You Can See Everything’ follows Fielder into the home of Holmes and her family in the final month before she goes to prison. Holmes promises Fielder he can see everything, but can he? Living in close quarters with Holmes and her partner Billy Evans, Fielder tries to determine how much of Holmes is an act and what’s underneath. Quickly becoming one of the most successful documentaries ever, ‘You Can See Everything’ is a funny, shocking, and unpredictable film that explores relationships, lies, and the nature of performance itself. We also react the upcoming Halloween-themed thriller ‘Slayground’ and discuss one spooky favorite and a slasher classic we watched for the first time.  Listen to all this and more on the newest episode of Cinephomaniacs, available wherever you get podcasts.

    The Exorcist (1973)

    We’re continuing spooky season with a review of ‘The Exorcist’ in an all new episode of Cinephomaniacs! 12-year-old Regan is possessed by a demon in this iconic 1973 horror film. Desperate to save her, Regan’s mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests. The showdown between good and evil is one of most thrilling, and referenced, finales you’ll see. ‘The Exorcist’ was the highest grossing film of 1973 and became the first horror movie nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, and Jason Miller were all nominated for their performances. It’s available to stream on HBO Max and rent or borrow anywhere else. Peyton and Andrew discuss the film’s theme of faith vs. science, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and the struggle of a mother to help her daughter that makes the film so gripping, even today. This episode also includes a mini-review of ‘V/H/S/Mixtape’, a reaction to the disappointing first trailer for Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew’, and a discussion about Steven Soderbergh stepping in to help Matt Reeves finish ‘The Batman: Part II’. We compel you to listen to the newest episode wherever you get your podcasts.

    Possession (1981)

    It’s officially spooky season, and Cinephomaniacs is starting it with a bang! Peyton and Andrew review Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 cult classic ‘Possession’. Sam Neill (RIP) and Isabelle Adjani play Mark and Anna, a couple living in West Berlin whose marriage is rapidly falling apart. When Anna asks for a divorce and begins exhibiting increasingly strange behavior, Mark suspects she’s seeing another man, but the reality is something beyond his wildest nightmares. ‘Possession’ premiered at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival, where Adjani won the award for Best Actress. Żuławski wrote the film during his own painful divorce. The result is a bizarre mix of drama, horror, action, and sci-fi. The film was banned and censored for years, but you can now watch it from the comfort of your living room. ‘Possession’ is available on Shudder and for free with a public library card on Hoopla and Kanopy. This episode also features discussion of ‘Masters of the Universe’ (2026) and Curry Barker’s ‘Obsession’ followup, ‘Anything but Ghosts’ (2027).

    Resident Evil (2026) feat. Kyle Flynn

    Andrew and Peyton are joined by their friend and fellow film critic Kyle Flynn to review ‘Resident Evil’ in an all new episode of Cinephomaniacs. In the latest movie from Zach Cregger (‘Barbarian’, ‘Weapons’), Austin Abrams plays a hapless organ transport driver unknowingly caught in the first night of a zombie apocalypse.  None of our hosts had ever seen a ‘Resident Evil’ movie before, and they brought a mix of reactions to the newest one. Is it a fun horror comedy that recreates the feeling of playing the game or a dull affair that just feels like holding a dead controller? The discussion also includes reactions to the Palme d’Or winner ‘Fjord’, the upcoming Chris Evans Hollywood satire ‘Sacrifice’, and the right wing Jonathan Majors action film ‘Run Hide Fight: Infidels’.

    Onslaught

    Peyton and Andrew review ‘Onslaught’, an action thriller in theaters now. ‘Onslaught’ has been one of their most anticipated movies of the year, and they were ecstatic when A24 invited them to a press screening earlier this month. Adria Arjona (‘Don’t Blink’) stars as a veteran managing a trailer park whose daughter is staying with her for the weekend. When a trio of super soldiers escape a nearby military base and begin killing everything in their path, they soon find they messed with the wrong mom. Dan Stevens (‘Cuckoo’) also stars as the Nazi scientist behind the experiment, and Drew Starkey (‘Outer Banks’) as the government agent trying to cover it up. Adam Wingard (‘The Guest’) directs, returning to horror after directing ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ and ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’. They get into all things ‘Onslaught’, from funny acting choices to some stomach-turning gore. Along the way, we touch on the big Telluride news of Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary, ‘You Can See Everything’, and Luca Guadagnino’s OpenAI biopic, ‘Artificial’.
