This one bitch… After finishing April with back-to-back looks at stylish vampire films like The Hunger and Ganja & Hess, we’re kicking off May a film we’ve actually discussed before (in written form): Fred Dekker‘s 1986 classic Night of the Creeps! Night of the Creeps sees fraternity pledges Chris (Jason Lively) and JC (Steve Marshall) take […]

Absurd, Uncomfortable Transactions March wound up being a wild mix of episodes, starting with the classic thrills of UK haunted house film The Haunting, followed by a return to Woodsboro for last year’s Scream (2022), celebrating the 25th anniversary of Erotic Thriller Wild Things, as well as the practical effects of low budget creature feature Splinter, […]

Rococo Hussy. After four weeks of nothing but “Weird Sex” films, including David Cronenberg’s “the medium is the message” Videodrome, Andrzej Żuławski’s tentacle divorce film Possession, Kevin Smith’s “creature feature” Tusk, and Mike Nichols’ genre mixing Wolf, Trace and I are venturing into more subdued territory with Robert Wise‘s 1963 black and white classic, The Haunting.

A meek misogynist? Weird Sex Month is coming to an end, but here’s a quick recap of our coverage: we started things off with David Cronenberg’s Videodrome before moving into some divorce troubles in Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession. We then headed up to the Great White North to discuss Kevin Smith’s polarizing Tusk. Closing us out is […]

Tabitha! It’s been another wild month on the podcast, ping-ponging between genres and time periods.
