Christmas goals unlocked!

BLUE MOON is now playing in theaters!

I enjoyed this quirky, dreamy “novella” (somewhere between a short and a feature). It’s worth checking out if you can handle spiders!

@conrad-esq.bsky.social and I are doubling up on CRUISING. Our Main Feed episode is free to listen to, with our $3 Patreon exclusive episode digging into hot sex, dubbing, and…James Franco 🤮

Let’s go to the clubs! (Tomorrow)

THE SKELETON KEY isn’t a great film, but it sure is a watchable one. A staple of the 2000s-era female-led thriller, some of the race stuff hasn’t aged super well, but Rowlands and Hudson sniping at each other is hella fun.

My fave part of this episode is @jennferatu.bsky.social’s absolutely disgusted reaction to a bunch of jellyfish being dumped in a bathtub

Sorry folks, but when Tubi’s SLAY is right there, this one just doesn’t cut it.

This was such an intriguing adaptation convo. Two texts working in different genres and aiming to tell similar, but also very different stories.

I’m ready to party Now watching: HEDDA

This week's IT: WELCOME TO DERRY is a bit of a shrug as we "get the gang together" for some janky FX. It's not bad, but it's a lot of watching characters figure out stuff the audience already knows.

ICYMI: @jennferatu.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social kicked off Aquatic Horror month last week with a look at Wolfgang Petersen’s THE PERFECT STORM Check it out on @bloodyfm.bsky.social and @bloody-disgusting.com

Of course I wore leather for our episode on Cruising. I had to! I didn’t want to disappoint @conrad-esq.bsky.social!

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I kick off coverage of the Murdaugh family with a primer before we start discussing MURDAUGH: DEATH IN THE FAMILY on Patreon on Wednesday

Tomorrow on the pod: @jennferatu.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social kick off coverage on the Murdaugh murders, starting with a primer on the family.

Yessss 🙌

Lemme just pop on this (un)natural oil disaster movie real quick Now watching: DEEPWATER HORIZON

This was a fascinating pair to discuss re: the adaptation process. Both are well worth your time, so check ‘em out before Tuesday!

🤷‍♂️

Can’t wait to dig into this effed up family next week

My fave Jennifer Lynch film (and arguably her best). Hear @gaylydreadful.bsky.social and I talk it out for his first time watch

This series wound up being pretty messy, so @jennferatu.bsky.social and I spend a lot of time parsing through our thoughts

It’s never a bad day for STRANGER BY THE LAKE

Woot! Taking @gaylydreadful.bsky.social on a ride trip with Jennifer Lynch’s best film tomorrow

Will the finale change our minds about the show? Tune in tomorrow

You can’t do a series on cruising without talking about CRUISING 🤷‍♂️

Baby’s first time watching FRANKENSTEIN and this shit is <gaaaay>

Halfway through the limited series and @jennferatu.bsky.social and I are struggling with the format

Y’all really don’t get how Black women be in the TRENCHES outchea. Like, after last night, the first women mayors were elected in Albany, Detroit, and Syracuse. And every one of them is Black.

Fuck. Yes. 😍

ICYMI: @brennacgray.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social wrapped up scary season with a look at #clowninacornfield. Here’s how it fared at YA BINGO

WUT?! 🤯😍

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I kick off daily coverage of Netflix limited series THE MONSTER OF FLORENCE with episode 1, which tells the sordid tale of Barbara Loci’s marriage and murder.

This movie is already being misunderstood, so I’m excited to unpack it with @tracedthurman.bsky.social tomorrow

A month of water disaster flicks. Let’s go!!!

This story is wild, particularly the full story (on Patreon) that dovetails into Satanic Panic and cannibalism?

I *need* this

Operation get through THE IMPOSSIBLE without crying is in full effect. I feel really bad for putting @jennferatu.bsky.social through this for @murdermfiction.bsky.social.

Who’s ready for a serial killer sprint?

Jaaaaaaames. Time to see how INFINITY POOL holds up

@conrad-esq.bsky.social and I found ourselves quite frustrated by THE HISTORY OF SOUND. The film looks great and features two strong performers, but many of the narrative choices simply don’t work and comparisons to BROKEBACK (and even GOD’S OWN COUNTRY) do Hermanus’ film no favours.

I would agree with this because Dave has talent and hasn’t sexually assaulted anyone

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I are starting a new month and it begins with a prolific serial killer in Italy.

I’ve been intrigued by this film since its festival run earlier this year. More tomorrow…

This movie is such a fucking blast that I was actively mad at myself for sleeping on it for so long. This is a very fun audio commentary so watch along with @tracedthurman.bsky.social and I

This was such an incredibly difficult task (even with ranked Letterboxd lists!) A true kill your darlings episode!

ICYMI: @jennferatu.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social closed out a second month on ED GEIN with the little seen film from 2000, which is sometimes called IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOON. Read more on @bloody-disgusting.com and listen via @bloodyfm.bsky.social

I’ve liked Reinhart for a while and this was a good opportunity for her to stretch herself in a film that feels depressingly topical (complimentary). Listen to @genadoesthings.bsky.social, @jennferatu.bsky.social and I unpack the drama!

@conrad-esq.bsky.social and my coverage of PLAINCLOTHES is now available, including the Patreon episode where I advocate that the build-up to sex can be hotter on screen than the actual act itself!

<checks notes, sees Depp’s name> Naaaah
