@gaylydreadful.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social tackle our final Jennifer Lynch title, 2012’s CHAINED. From misguided accusations of torture porn to a bizarre 'twist' ending, this film is *interesting*. Plus: nature vs nurture, the film as a play, and Lynch's "booked and busy" TV career

While editing I realized we never even talked about the importance of the title! I was kicking myself while taking out some of my ums. 🤪 Anyway, tomorrow!!! It's a good episode, omitted title discussion aside. Make sure you're subscribed!!

Tomorrow on the Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad: @gaylydreadful.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social head south for a beach vacation with Brandon Cronenberg's third film INFINITY POOL (2023). Expect things to get a little weird

Paging @vinylgrrrl.bsky.social and @jennferatu.bsky.social

Today on the #AOASPodSquad: @jennferatu.bsky.social and @vinylgrrrl.bsky.social take an ill-advised field trip and wind up back in Almira to chat about surprise cameos, evolving powers, and burned dong in #GenV Season 2 Episode 5, The Kids Are not All Right.

For the second last Jennifer Lynch text, @gaylydreadful.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social are discussing both Hisss (2010) as well as director Penny Vozniak's documentary Despite The Gods (2012), which chronicles the notoriously troubled production of Lynch’s film.

Tomorrow on the #AOASPodSquad: @gaylydreadful.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social return to tackle Jennifer Lynch’s troubled Indian film, HISSS (2010). (And throw in discussion of doc DESPITE THE GODS for good measure)

Today on the #AOASPodSquad: Get out of the lake because @jennferatu.bsky.social, @genadoesthings.bsky.social, and @joelipsett.bsky.social have re-entered the Oscar race with a look at Nia DaCosta's update of Ibsen's famous play, HEDDA, starring a dazzling Tessa Thompson and a commanding Nina Hoss.

Tomorrow on #AOASPodSquad: @jennferatu.bsky.social, @genadoesthings.bsky.social, and @joelipsett.bsky.social hit up the party so that they can hang out with Hedda in Nia DaCosta's latest.

@bodiesofhorror.bsky.social ends National Family Caregivers Month with a focus on “paid” or “professional” caregivers. THE SKELETON KEY takes on weighty themes of generational trauma, racism and faith in the wrapping of a gothic ghost/haunted house story. Does it handle these themes well? Welp…

Tomorrow on @bodiesofhorror.bsky.social: Nichole is back to unpack the caretaking at the center of Southern Gothic thriller THE SKELETON KEY (2005)

I've been wanting to talk in depth about Possessor since I first saw it. Very glad I got to chat with @joelipsett.bsky.social about a movie I consider a masterpiece. Listen below 👇🏻👇🏻

Today on #AOASPodSquad: @joelipsett.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social discuss our favorite Brandon Cronenberg film, 2020's POSSESSOR. Plus: ultra gory violence, a reticence to engage with queer readings, and *that* ending

Tomorrow on the #AOASPodSquad: @gaylydreadful.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social return to the Cronenberg side of the pod to discuss Brandon's sophomore film, POSSESSOR (2020)

NEW EPISODE ALERT. I got to (somewhat) put on my former theatre major hat and chat about Taymor’s phenomenal adaptation of Shakespeare’s TITUS. Arguably Bill’s most brutal and bloody work, we see how bodily autonomy and mutilation make the political personal.

Today on #AOASPodSquad: Bodies of Horror is going all-out penny arcade nightmare with Julie Taymor’s 1999 film, TITUS. It’s Shakespearean horror! Plus: what it's like to experience bodily trauma, the impact it has on the family and caregiver(s), and the toll of revenge on the body.

First time watch for me and even though I figured out what was happening very quickly, I really dug this one. Give it a listen!

Tomorrow on #AOASPodSquad: @bodiesofhorror.bsky.social returns to discuss the fucked up family dynamics at the center of TITUS

Today on the Pod Squad: @gaylydreadful.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social are back to discuss Jennifer Lynch's SURVEILLANCE. This twisty crime thriller features a great cast (many of whom are playing against type) and may be the closest thing to Lynch's uncompromised vision as a creator.

Tomorrow on #AOASPodSquad: @jennferatu.bsky.social and @vinylgrrrl.bsky.social return to discuss Kate's return to school and the new status quo for Marie and Jordan in GEN V 2.03, "H is for Human"

Flag that video because @genadoesthings.bsky.social, @jennferatu.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social are talking AMERICAN SWEATSHOP. Starring Lili Reinhart as a woman-turned-vigilante, this film is part of a burgeoning subgenre we're calling "Good For Her...Oops, she took it too far."

Tomorrow on the #AOASPodSquad: @genadoesthings.bsky.social, @jennferatu.bsky.social, and @joelipsett.bsky.social return to plumb the dirty depths of Internet depravity with Lili Reinhart in AMERICAN SWEATSHOP.

There’s no new episode of @bodiesofhorror.bsky.social today, but host Nichole Goble encourages you to revisit the episode on Halloween stand-out, TRICK’R TREAT featuring guest @gaylydreadful.bsky.social

With the news that INFLUENCERS is dropping on Dec 12 on @shudder.com, why not revisit WHITE LADIES IN CRISIS as @genadoesthings.bsky.social, @jennferatu.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social discuss the first film?

Today on #AOASPodSquad: @gaylydreadful.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social find it hard not to compare Brandon Cronenberg’s feature debut, ANTIVIRAL (2012), to his famous father's work.

Tomorrow on the Anatomy of A Scream Pod Squad: Sexy & Surreal returns as @joelipsett.bsky.social introduces @gaylydreadful.bsky.social to Brandon Cronenberg's ANTIVIRAL (2012)

NEW EPISODE!! So excited to talk about this film. I like the vibes a lot but we are going to go deep on those ageist tropes, and the…interesting?…things it has to say about caregiving.
