Hi, there, WoHos!!This week we watched the 1997 Satoshi Kon psychological thriller, PERFECT BLUE and the 2010 Darren Aronofsky knock off, BLACK SWAN.Both films concern a young artist who has a psychological break as she is trying to navigate the professional and creative pressures she faces.

Hey, Q-Balls!Something came up for Mac this week so we are pushing the main episode one week. Quinn stepped in to do an impromptu "emergency" podcast, though. And it is weird!In 1986, Quinn was getting ready for kindergarten and Christina was getting ready to graduate high school. Less historically important, 1986 was the year that FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR and RIVER'S EDGE came out. So that is what we talk about on this pod.We also go down an "indie queens" ramble at the end

WoHos!This week we looked at the Japanese original JU-ON: THE GRUDGE and the American remakes from 2004 and 2020.This is kind of a short one (like the original and far, far superior) version! We learned that you need more than a blonde actress, some haunted garbage or a John Cho cameo to make either of the remakes worth your time!Watch SEARCHING with John Cho instead or POSSESSOR with Amdrea Riseborough or THE WIRE with Frankie Faison!We hope you'll listen and enjoy.We love you.

Hi, WoHos and TWoHos!!This week we were totally on the same page with our thoughts on the original Dutch film SPOORLOOS and the American remake, THE VANISHING.It boggles my mind how the same man directed both films.Our PSA for this week: Please do not watch the remake. We consider it to be the worst one we have reviewed. Worse, even, than PULSE or MARTYRS and that is saying something.But the original is so good. We recommend (PSA #2) you watch it before listening, but hey, WoHos, it's your
