Episode 95 – White Noise (2022)

It’s 1984 but it’s also 2023 and we’re afraid of dying and fumbling our way to survival and it’s goofy and tender with an airborne toxic event still keeping us up at night.

Episode 94 – The Triangle of Sadness (2022)

After a looooong hiatus, we’re (finally!) back. And we missed you. We watched Triangle of Sadness, one of the more recent iterations of the increasingly popular eat-the-rich theme, and talked all about representations of class struggle, villianizing billionaires, and the kinds of dismantling capitalism stories we wish were being made.

Episode 90 – Vesper (2022)

Needs More Slime

Vesper is viscous, gooey, slipshod, and visceral. Ferny plants shoot lethal, glowing pink darts that burrow into you and turn into insects. Scavenging pilgrims build rubbish towers high into the sky. A floating orb holds the consciousness of a bedridden man, and a 13-year-old girl plays with plants to have some shot at survival. Yes, we enjoyed this one.

Episode 89 – Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)

Our biggest piece of advice if you’re planning a hurricane party with your friends in a mansion for the weekend – Put. Away. The swords. We watched Bodies Bodies Bodies and talked about funny horror and killer parlor games. And also – what are people in their twenties like again??

Episode 88 – The Rehearsal (2022)

Fake real fake real bar bar bar

Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal is bizarre, uncomfortable, emotional, surprising, and deeply, deeply weird. This show was HBO being cool with spending millions to let a guy confront his anxiety through helping others confront their own anxieties – which is ok by us!

Also – we’re back! (thanks for sticking with us, we love you).

Episode 87 – The Gray Man (2022)

Leave the streetcar alone, you monsters.

This week we’re coming at you from our neighbor to the north – Canada! We watched The Gray Man, starring Ryan Gosling (a Canadian!) as a CIA assassin named Six who learned a little too much about his employer and so is on the run in a cat and mouse chase across Europe. The movie was wildly expensive to produce and is wildly mediocre. Do better, Netflix.
