2025/03/04

For this episode, Nichole dives into the messy thriller waters of 1992’s The Hand the Rock the Rocks the Cradle.

C/W: grooming and sexual abuse.Expect a lot of talk about how both Gracie (Julianne Moore) and Elizabeth (Natalie Portman) as monsters, feeling sorry for an infantilized Joe (Charles Melton), and how the film works as an indictment of made-for-TV true crime adaptations and method actors.Plus: the film's disappointing award season performance, mirrors and monologues, and

2025/01/30

Let's get psychologically sexy! Terry and Joe unpack David Cronenberg's historical drama featuring a trio of hot leads in Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen.

Overall, however, we spend a lot of time questioning whether Cronenberg was a good fit for this material.Wanna connect with your co-hosts on Instagram & BlueSky?>

Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad ·

2024/12/24

For the final episode of 2024, Nichole is going seasonal with 2021’s French horror film, The Advent Calendar - a film that mixes fairy tale or parable vibes with the tried and true enchanted/evil object (think a Monkey’s Paw type story, but make it Christmas!) There are time-tested tropes around disability and disabled characters, but the film gives breathing space to encourage reflection on the inner conflict of internalized ableism and the battle with self-doubt that comes with being employed and
