White Ladies in Crisis: The Girl On The Train (2016)

Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad ·

2024/06/04

Our journey into the realm of hot, messy women embroiled in murder mysteries continues with Tate Taylor's adaptation of Paula Hawkins' The Girl On The Train. Much like The Woman in the Window, the film stars an A-list actress (here it's Emily Blunt) doing great work in a lukewarm thriller.Plus: female archetypes, too complicated plotting, our desire for a miniseries, and comparisons to male-centric "prestige" pictures like OppenheimerWanna connect with the show?> Gena:@genadoesthings

2024/05/30

Terry and Joe finally hit one of former's most anticipated titles on the pod: David Lynch's surreal 1997 masterpiece, Lost Highway.This mind fuck of a film noir has true crime connections in Robert Blake, dual roles for Patricia Arquette, but makes the mistake of subbing out Bill Pullman for Balthazar Getty? Oof! Plus: impossible Hollywood houses, nightmare imagery, and wild speculations. Wanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast,

Disabled folks who have by default a non-existent to low quality of life? Check. Disabled characters being a burden to loved ones? Check. Magical cures? Check.2024’s Night Swim is a layer cake of the disability tropes we know and love, so Nichole channels her simmering rage to give a refresher on some of them (since we circle them frequently here on the pod).Want to share your thoughts on Night Swim or suggest a film to cover?

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 20 - M. Butterfly (1993)

Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad ·

2024/05/16

Terry and Joe tackle another challenging Cronenberg title with the adaptation of David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly (1993).Is this the straightest queer film ever? Although Jeremy Irons and John Lone are both doing great work, the film's reticence to engage with its gender, queer, and even political themes frustrates us to no end. By playing this realist and straight (in all senses of the word), the film is a bad marriage of director and material.Wanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry:

White Ladies in Crisis: The Woman In The Window (2021)

Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad ·

2024/05/14

The White Ladies in Crisis crew get back to basics with the first of three episodes dedicated to hot, alcoholic, messy, voyeuristic women embroiled in murder mysteries. Entry 1 is Joe Wright's long delayed adaptation of The Woman in the Window, which finds Amy Adams in unflattering pyjamas and the largest NY apartment we've ever seen, spying on Julianne Moore (or is it Jennifer Jason Leigh?) getting murdered.Plus: grown-ass men playing boys, twists on twists on twists, a Single White Female sequel,

Joe and Bryan return to the world of Books of Blood to discuss director John Harrison's 2009 UK adaptation, Book of Blood. C/W: brief sexual assault.It's nearly the same narrative as the 2020 Hulu Books of Blood, only this one has grime and sexuality. It feels properly Clive Barker-y!Plus: Lord of the Rings ghosts, not enough Doug Bradley, handjobs and BDSM, and debate about Mary's endingWanna connect with the show?> Bryan: @eviltaylorhicks (Instagram/BlueSky)> Joe: @bstolemyremoteMusic

2024/04/23

For this episode, Nichole is covering two films just released in theatres – Immaculate and The First Omen (2024). As a fan of religious horror, I was very excited to see both but was very surprised to find myself thinking about these films well after viewing and what they had to say about bodily autonomy (both in regards to reproductive health and beyond).Additional Reading/Research:> Leaving Eden Podcast: Ep. 161: Elora Dodd Speaks About Growing Up Neurodivergent In Fundamentalism on Apple

2024/04/18

Terry and Joe return to talk about Cronenberg's queerest film yet: the 1991 adaptation of Naked Lunch.This one is tough, particularly if you're less familiar with the life and work of William S. Burroughs. Visually it's very surreal and fantastical (the typewriters!), but narratively it doesn't come together in a satisfying way.Plus: the amazing FX, real life manslaughter, creature buttholes, and *that* Roy Scheider cameoWanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe:

After wrapping up Clive Barker's Books of Blood, Bryan and Joe dig into Brannon Braga's Trick r'Treat-style anthology, Books of Blood (2020).It's...fine. Too polished, strange story choices and Bryan is *not* a fan of how much the film hangs on the character of Jenna (Britt Robertson).Plus: Barker's involvement, speculation about how this went from a TV series to a standalone film, and comparisons to Hulu other Barker adaptation, Hellraiser (2022).Wanna connect with the show?> Bryan:

For this episode, Nichole covers 2013’s Under the Skin. Does having a disabled character (played by a disabled actor) as a pivotal part of another character’s turning point feel exploitative or authentic approach? How would it feel to shed the skin that has been a point of pain or even trauma? Would you get into a non-descript van with a stranger?Additional Reading/Research:> Digressions-2016-Volume-1-Issue-2-Lieke-Hettinga (1).pdf> Adam Pearson Says Actors with Disabilities Are Typecast
