Priscilla, Queen of the Desert or I Have One Thing to...

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/06/15

So we're striding into Pride this month and reviewing the classic film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. A story of a humble pilgrimage of self-discovery through the Outback, like Chaucer in Sequins, we discuss the impact of the film and it's continuing charm. With Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving, and Terence "Kneel Before Zod" Stamp, it's literally packed with talent, like an overstocked makeup bag. So let's celebrate after a long, strange trip of our own this past year. Learn more about

The Wicker Man 1973 and 2006 Versions or Mind Your...

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/06/06

After covering Midsommar wherein we mentioned the 1973 version of The Wicker Man as an obvious inspiration, we decided to go ahead and re-watch both versions of the film. I think if you are a willing student, these films have a lot to teach. The most important lesson of course being, if you find yourself on a secret island the first thing you should do is find the quickest route off that island. Barring that, asking a ton of questions is probably a bad idea despite your job description. So grab your

Midsommar or Sometimes You're the May Queen and...

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/05/25

To welcome in the Summer we're covering Midsommar and crowning our very own May Queen! Midsommar is a divisive horror film and every few weeks on social media someone will post, was the boyfriend really all that bad? Well Your Weird Aunts had pretty strong feelings about it and I'm sure you can guess, we were fairly comfortable with the stranger elements. But join us in this fairytale gone horribly wrong and dance until you drop! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Let the Right One In or I've Never Met a Girl Like...

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/05/05

This episode we cover the Swedish classic horror romance, Let the Right One In. Ever since the book was released, based on the title of a Morrissey song, it's had our attention. It is a beautiful story about the nature of love and connecting with other people who see you as you are and love you for your authentic self. Having watched this film on it's release and re-watching it now, it's only grown more bittersweet and it really endures. So join your aunties chat about one of their faves, it's

Bram Stoker's Dracula or Love Never Dies, Just ask...

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/04/15

This week following our mini-horror marathon, we took advantage of Francis Ford Coppola's version of Bram Stoker's version of Dracula. A gothic romance, a tortured protaganist, an air of spirtualism and mesmerism as the dawn of the new age sees the last of the real magic dying, oh and what of the magic of love you say? I think you'll find it powerful. If you're looking for a different pace of film stuffed with practical effects and every in demand character actor of the early 90s you will be in for

Saint Maud or Saint Maud is Hot for God

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/03/25

After a long winter we're springing into horror with Saint Maud. It's a film by writer/director Rose Glass who brings us an intimate portrait into the unraveling of our lead Maud. So as an audience we see the film through Maud's eyes mostly and she is experiencing a spiritual revelation but of course we suspect there may be something more sinister going on beneath the surface. As you may suspect, Your Weird Aunts could not have loved this movie any more, but that's kind of our thing. We hope you

Velvet Goldmine or Wham Bam Thank You Glam

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/03/06

In our last of the Strange Love Series, we watched Velvet Goldmine, Todd Haynes' late 90s film and Valentine to Glam Rock. This movie stars Toni Collette, Jonathon Rhys Myers, Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor as titans of the Glam era, amalgamations of Iggy Pop, Bowie, Eno, and Marc Bolan, and how their influence helped a generation of alienated kids see what could be possible for their own lives. Surprising no one, Your Weird Aunts, loved it then as they love it now. So, come visit with your

Bridgerton or Gossip Earl

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/01/20

This episode we watched Bridgerton the new offering from Shondaland. Bridgerton answers the question, what if Jane Austen just took it all the way there? While our take might not be the most academic or thoughtful, it's probably what you would hear from your out of touch, older millennial aunts and aren't you missing that right about now?

Ragnarok or They Might Be Giants

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/01/05

This week we watched the Norwegian series for Netflix, Ragnarok. A young family returns to their idyllic hometown when a young man discovers he has a particular set of skills, especially when he gets around large hammers. Not only that, he also begins to suspect that the rich, extremely attractive family that also happens to own the one company that is the largest polluter in their small town, may in fact be frost giants in disguise. What coming of age story doesn't include at least some of these

October Faction or Of Magical Bondage

2020/12/27

This episode we cover the series October Faction. On its surface it's a show about a family of monster hunters, and yet, who are the real monsters? You see what we did there? Sadly, October Faction only had one season on Netflix and it was really packed with talent, so another season would have given it a chance to grow. But if you'd like to hear our review of a show packed with elite Monster Hunting Organizations, warlock twins, grade A Silent Hill Monsters, underwater magical bondage, give us a

2020/12/20

On this episode we watched Cursed. Cursed was adapted from the book by the same name from Thomas Wheeler and Frank Miller who's responsible for everything you've ever liked. Join us as we discuss the important takeaways from this retelling of the Arthurian legend including, suspicious wig work, handsome conflicted villains, medieval hot tubs, and again really suspicious wig work.

Daybreak or The Revenge of Baron Von Triumph

Your Weird Aunts ·

2020/12/20

This episode Your Weird Aunts have watched Daybreak, every single episode. Now usually, Netflix lets a series run at least two seasons, but Daybreak only made it one. Sadly, had this apocalyptic teen horror/comedy been released a year later, it might have found an audience that related to the material, but this wasn't the only bit of bad luck this series ran into. Daybreak had a ton of unmet potential, and plenty of really talented players, who knows what one more season might have done? So come
