In this episode, Nichole talks about the 2023 award-winning film, Poor Things. Much of the discussion around this film has focused on gender, gender roles, and sexual autonomy but there is a fair bit to say about how disability is very present in this film – particularly with the characters of Bella and Godwin.

Gena, Jenn and Joe return to discuss William Friedkin's 2006 adaptation of Tracy Letts' stageplay of the same name, Bug. C/W: self-harm This is a film that will get under your skin, but it's the tragedy of the narrative, the stunning performances by Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon, and the disorienting editing that have us talking. Plus: Sha…

חזרנו. פרק חדש. עונה חדשה. ולמרות שאנחנו אחרי שנה קשה שעדיין ממשיכה עם הלחימה, החלטנו לנסות לחזור לשגרה קלה לצד המלחמה. אז אחרי שהורדנו את החלודה, נפגשנו אחרי הרבה מאוד זמן, בפרק פתיחת העונה של הליגה האיטלקית לעונת 2024 - 2025. הנאה מובטחת

In spite of being ""not that into reality TV"" we got sucked into this most recent season of Love Island USA along with the rest of the internet and we had a lot of feelings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nichole saw In A Violent in theaters but held off on recording an episode before watching it a second time because she had pretty visceral reaction to her first viewing. In a Violent Nature finds us in familiar territory: campers teens taking on the zombie/reanimated adult form of a child – with a developmental disability – that accidentally died i…

Bryan and Joe discuss the Eisner-nominated comic anthology Tapping The Vein (1989) which adapts the most memorable stories from Books of Blood. Since we've already discussed the narrative, we're focusing primarily on the art...and it's a mixed bag! Which ones do we like and which ones feel defanged? Wanna read along? Tapping the Vein is available f…

A YA shifter romance was adapted into a TV show so obviously we had to talk about it, and we brought back our very first friend of the pod, Ceri Riley, to unpack all of our feelings about our girlboss queen, cartoon villains, and of course horses. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Gena, Jenn, and Joe return to wrap up the back half of The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window with a look at episodes 5-8. Up for discussion: is the payoff worth it? Did the show use its best jokes off the top? Would revealing the killer earlier have worked better? And who wanted that S02 set-up?! Wanna connect with th…

We’re going dystopian future for this episode and talking about Repo! The Genetic Opera. I am joined by Ariel Powers-Schaub and we have some pretty hot takes on organ donation/transplants, “big pharma” and horror musicals. > Where to Follow Ariel: @Ari_Hellraiser > Ariel’s Book, Millennial Nasties is out September 17th Want to share your thoughts o…

Terry and Joe wrap up series three of Sexy & Surreal with David Cronenberg's final 90s film, eXistenZ (1999). Gamer Terry gets into this first-time watch in its confusing back half, but finds plenty to love in the production design and Howard Shore's score. Plus: comparisons to The Matrix, "commit to the bit" actors like Law and Dafoe, and discussi…

Bryan and Joe check out Clive Barker's first screenplay, Underworld aka Transmutations (1985). This George Pavlou (Rawhead Rex) film was plagued by producer interference, so much so that Barker has notoriously disowned it. For good reason! It's boring, has a soap opera aesthetic, and features an icky romance between Nicole (18 year old Nicola Cowpe…

Before flying off with their Season Four coverage, Jenn, Rachel and special guest Justin Gerber reminisce about the weird, wild, and wonderful moments of season three.

Terry and Joe close out the David Lynch side of S03 with a very unorthodox text: 1999's The Straight Story. Or maybe it just seems odd. On closer inspection, though, there are clear Lynchian elements; they're just lurking under the surface! Plus: an Oscar-nominated performance by Richard Farnsworth, hitting deer on the highway, and an out of contro…

We’re getting into some foreign horror for this episode and heading The Orphanage, the 2007 film directed by J.A. Bayona. We have disabled characters, some light touching of tropes of that we (thankfully) move away from and gut-punch of an ending. Want to share your thoughts on The Orphanage or suggest a film to cover? Reach out to Nichole on @Bodi…

Up for discussion: the pros and cons of standalone stories, a punishing backstory for Boone (C/W: everything), canonical debates about Ashberry:…

It's finally time: we've reached Joe's favourite Cronenberg film, 1996's Crash. Expect lots of gushing from Joe, but what does first time viewer Terry think of the controversial film adaptation of J.G. Ballard's novel? Plus: is this sexy, clinical or both? Why is Elias Koteas so hot? Is the gay sex adequate? And where is Holly Hunter? Wanna connect…
