Her Private Hell feat. Zach Smith

Zach Smith (@ZachOnArthouse on Substack and TikTok) joins Andrew and Peyton to discuss the films of Nicolas Winding Refn. They dig into everything from 'Drive' and 'Only God Forgives' to 'The Neon Demon' and 'Too Old to Die Young' before tackling NWR's newest film, now playing in theaters: 'Her Private Hell'. Sophie Thatcher ('Yellowjackets') and Havana Rose Liu ('Bottoms') star as actresses who cross paths with a diamond-covered killer known as the Leather Man in 'Her Private Hell'. Meanwhile, Charles Melton ('Riverdale') plays an American GI cutting his way through the Yakuza to save his daughter from the same fate. It's everything you've come to expect from Refn: long pauses, neon lights, and a kickass soundtrack. Zach shares his enthusiasm as a dedicated Refn fan and discusses his recent interview with 'Her Private Hell' editor Matthew Newman. The wide-ranging discussion also includes trailer reactions to ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Ebenezer’, TIFF 2026 programming, and early screenings of ‘Motor City’. Plus: we can’t wait to revisit 'Drive' at Enzian next month! https://enzian.org/film/drive Zach's Substack: https://zachonarthouse.substack.com/ Zach's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zachonarthouse Zach’s Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/zsmith33/ 'Mat Newman on Finding the Ending of Her Private Hell and His Collaboration with Nicolas Winding Refn' (interview by Zach): https://zachonarthouse.substack.com/p/mat-newman-on-finding-the-ending 'Die, Mommie, Die!': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9qpbbvffQI More of Cinephomaniacs: https://linktr.ee/cinephomaniacs More of Peyton: https://letterboxd.com/dualip/ More of Andrew: https://andrewlikesmovies.substack.com/

The Odyssey

Hark! King Nolan has returned, three years after his victory in the Barbenheimer wars, with 'The Odyssey'. Odysseus (Matt Damon) journeys across the seas, facing a giant Cyclops, a powerful witch, a deadly whirlpool, and more in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s legendary poem. The epic cast also includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and dozens more. Peyton and Andrew praise the film’s scope and practical effects as they embark on an in-depth breakdown of all things 'The Odyssey'. They also discuss a trio of classic horror stories getting updated, with new versions of 'Carrie', 'Crystal Lake', and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' on the way, plus a new announcement about 'The Batman: Part Two'.

Evil Dead Burn

The ‘Evil Dead’ series is back with one of its meanest and goriest installments yet. Join Andrew and Peyton for a trip back to the cabin in the woods as they crack open the Necronomicon and discuss all things ‘Evil Dead Burn’ in a new episode of Cinephomaniacs. Young widow Alice (Souheila Yacoub, ‘Dune: Part Two’) cremates what’s left of her abusive husband at the start of this sixth ‘Evil Dead’ movie. Back at the family home, tensions flare beyond typical family dysfunction as Alice’s in-laws turn into Deadites one by one, including Hunter Doohan (‘Wednesday’) and Tandi Wright (mother of ‘Pearl’). This French-fried ‘Evil Dead’ is one of the franchise’s darkest, but does that make it groovy? Or should all copies be burned by dawn? Listen to find out! Meanwhile, Olivia Wilde’s ‘The Invite’ gets a wide release, and we watched the trailer for ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’.

Leviticus / Girls Like Girls

Cozy up to two very different new movies about young love in this Pride Month episode of Cinephomaniacs! In the Australian horror flick ‘Leviticus,’ Joe Bird (‘Talk to Me’) and Stacy Clausen (‘Thrash’) must escape a shapeshifting monster that takes the form of the person they desire most: each other.

Andrew and Peyton also discuss queer cinema staples old and new including ‘The Watermelon Woman,’ ‘Satranic Panic,’ and ‘The Miseducation of Cameron Post.’ Original ‘Girls Like Girls’ music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0MT8SwNa_U ‘Leviticus’ scene pack: https://neon.app.box.com/s/v3miniojkj3ne2oc45kfndwbhfb78z2p/folder/386488088907 More of Us: Cinephomaniacs: https://linktr.ee/cinephomaniacs⁠⁠ Peyton: https://www.instagram.com/paaaaaayyy/ Andrew: https://linktr.ee/andrewlikesmovies

Scary Movie (2026)

Wazzup! Peyton and Andrew break down ‘Scary Movie’ (2026) in this new episode of Cinephomaniacs! This newest installment in the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise is a slasher parody legacy sequel reuniting the Core Four of Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall for the first time in 25 years. They’ve got a lot of horror movies to catch up on, and nothing is off limits, from ‘Sinners’ and ‘Longlegs’ to ‘M3gan’ and ‘Wednesday.’ Your Cinephomaniacs co-hosts dig into the franchise’s funniest swings, why so many jokes feel like simple scene recreations, and whether the Wayans’ return lives up to the hype.
