Being this is our first foray into the works of Jordorowsky, we dip our toes in with what we felt was his more grounded and approachable film of the 3 to come; which makes sense being the

This week on the podcast, we’re celebrating Pete’s birthday by treading into some uncharted Waters… John Waters that is as we watched the tentpole film of John Waters’ Trash Trilogy with 1972’s “Pink Flamingos”. Fam, this film’s got it all. Sex, rape, incest, human trafficking, cannibalism and that’s all within the first hour! It’s not that long of a film so it’s really the bulk of the film, but you get the idea. And boys and girls, don’t you skip that final scene, it’s a real treat! Join us as we

This week on the pod, we’re keeping things light with all manner of monsters, wizards, facists and fetishists as we mainline the 2008 horror/comedy “Tokyo Gore Police” right into our brains. Strap it, because this film is a genuine hoot. From an over saturation of violence, to some genuine freaky kinks on display, Tokyo Gore Police is a film that doesn’t make a lick of sense and that’ just alright with us! We talk about this films love for practical effects; no surprise being the feature debut of

Happy New years you fucking assholes. Brace yourselves because we’re kicking off the year with some deadly serious mommy issues in 2001’s “The Piano Teacher”. Join us as we we run the gamut of conversations on the film from the origins of true degenerate behavior, conflating kink with love, and when it comes to consensual non-consent play, you really don’t need someone who goes off-script. We try to get at the heart of a true white whale in the female incel and ask ourselves the broader question of

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to our final episode of the year; our Vegas Revue! This week on the pod we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of one of the all-time cult, sleaze classics in Paul Veerhovens’ “Showgirls”. A film so equally bad and incredible, it defies conventional critique; though that didn’t stop scores of audiences upon its release from doing just that. Join us as we talk about the films abysmal initial release and the ensuing damages it left in its wake, specifically to that of star

This week on the podcast, Hell is trench warfare.

We watched the 2022 WW1 Epic “All Quiet on the Western Front”. Listen as we discuss the truly inspiring origins of this adaptation and learn just how much work it is to keep an option on a script (we learned something today too!). Oh and don’t worry, we’ll give you some of the cliff notes of the real

This week on the pod we watched a body horror delight from this year in “The Ugly Stepsister”. Join us as we discussed the nuanced nature of this messy lead character who only kind of deserves what she’s got coming to her. But let’s be real, in this fantastic depiction of 1800’s Norway (and in any time period really), being a woman is about survival of the fittest; or in

Youth is wasted on the young, especially when the youth is too wasted to remember what the hell happened. This week on the pod, we’re closing out Bummer Summer with the granddaddy of cautionary tales to the restless youth of America with Larry Clark’s 1995 film “Kids”. Join us as we revel in the horror of what it’s like to experience this film through the lens of adults and reminisce on our own teenage fuckery.

Join as Pete dives down memory lane with his first encounter with a movie that was so bleak it made him want to take a shower, and Aaron comes at this without the fondness of 2000’s filmmaking style.

Join us as we foray into the first Todd Solondz film for the podcast and contextualize just what makes this director a perfect contender for the podcast.
