Your Weird Aunts ·

2023/04/20

This week we rewatched The Cell with Jennifer Lopez and Vincent D'Onofrio. We talk about surrealism, tik tok, and the cultivation of raven familiars.

Barbarian or Be my Little Baby

Your Weird Aunts ·

2022/11/19

You thought your Air BnB experience was a nightmare. And we're never the type to victim blame but I assure you, if we showed up to a rental and Pennywise answered the door, we'd sleep on the street before agreeing to share the place but that's not what our heroine did and that's not how any horror movie gets going, with a series of good decisions. We watched Barbarian and you should too. It's a great, creative, beautifully shot film that any mother could love. Learn more about your ad choices

The Sandman or Enter Me, Sandman.

Your Weird Aunts ·

2022/10/02

This episode we watched Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. As longtime fans we get into the important details of the adaptation but as always, veer off into topics ranging from popcorn related drug fronts to interactions with our mirror selves in other dimensions, you know, girl talk. Join as we descend into dreams and give our thoughtful review of The Sandman. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stranger Things 4 or Vecna? I hardly know Ya!

Your Weird Aunts ·

2022/07/21

We ran up that hill to make a deal with God and we got him to swap our places. We watched Stranger Things and we learned some strange things about ourselves. Our love of Kate Bush was confirmed. Always trust a chaotic good metal head, an ingenious stoner, and a girl who knows to saw off a shot gun. What song would bring us out of Vecna's embrace and would we want to leave it?

The Batman Or True Detective at The Black Parade

2022/05/18

We watched THE Batman, and if you don't know which one, then you don't know your Batmans. While other podcasts may have a deep feel for the comics, know a lot about the movie history, we are just your out of touch weird aunts who saw the batman and had serious concerns about the hair choices.

Our Flag Means Death or The Glamorous Pirate show

Your Weird Aunts ·

2022/04/25

This episode we cover Our Flag Means Death, a pirate comedy that will unexpectedly break your heart. Are there amazing cameos? Absolutely. Are there gay pirates, full tea services on ships, telepathic seagulls? Of course. We discuss all the important themes, are pirates the punk rockers of the 17th century? Is this the original when Bowie met Iggy Pop on the high seas? Are you the Calico Jack of your friend group? Join us as we design our own flag, it's not a cat, and talk about what will become

Labyrinth or Jareth, Come Back!

Your Weird Aunts ·

2022/03/02

Keeping our fingers firmly on the pulse, knowing awards season is just around the corner, we watched The Labyrinth! From 1986? The Jim Henson film? Yes, the very same. Have you seen it before? Hundreds of times and yet, we watched it again for the sheer joy of it. We talk about the origin story, the making of, helpful facts of course but also, wildly unbelievable fan theories. Could you say we weave through a Labyrinth of our own design? Almost, but no one would. Learn more about your ad choices

The Eyes of Tammy Faye or The Eyes Have It

Your Weird Aunts ·

2022/01/19

This week we watched the movie, "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." Having both watched the documentary, there was not much to learn, but the performances were fantastic. We talk about crafting yourself as a commodity in America and the downside when you don't deliver on your own product. We also get into doomsday prepping, underwater caving, and the legacy of puppets. Join as we look through our own eyes at The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Learn more about your ad choices.

When Last Night in Soho lands you on The Boulevard of...

Your Weird Aunts ·

2022/01/05

For the first movie of the year, we treated ourselves to a pricy rental. "Last Night in Soho," is the latest from Edgar Wright and is a beautifully styled, throwback thriller. It's not just the aesthetics that seem vintage, but it borrows from classic psychological thrillers visually and thematically. It answers the question, how difficult is it for a psychic to live in a city with a brutal history? Very difficult. Join us as we take our own trip through Soho and as Ruth weighs the options of Last

It Follows or How to Lose a Sex Demon in 10 Days

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/12/13

This episode we watched the film It Follows about a young woman who is trying to outrun the consequences of an ill-fated one night stand. Sadly, a round of antibiotics and a pint of ice cream will not suffice when you are facing what appears to be some kind of sex demon after a lackluster sexual encounter. Luckily, Jay has a group of great friends who help her try and survive the monster with many faces. Join us on our meandering journey as we battle our own demons on this week's episode. Learn

Lamb or Love.Angel.Monster.Baby

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/11/18

This week we watch A24's latest offering Lamb with Noomi Rapace. It is modern folktale that follows a grieving couple as they welcome their newest arrival. While we go through several theories that include telekinesis, we mostly admire a gentle horror that is more in line with the Grim Brothers than Carpenter. Some come to our meadow and frolic with us and the lambs. . Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dune 2021 or Dune it and Dune it and Dune it Well

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/11/05

After revisiting David Lynch's Dune in an earlier podcast, we were very eager to watch Denis Villenueve's offering and it did not disappoint. This movie is crammed with so much talent, elegant styling, haunting atmospheres and apparently every Zaddy they could find available. Not that we forgot about sweet Timmy of course. It is a promising start and hopefully they'll be able to film the second part soon, because we can't wait to see a little carnivorous worm riding. Learn more about your ad

Squid Game or Red Light Green light, Dagona Candy,...

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/10/16

This week on the pod we cover Squid Game and we managed to keep all our organs. We ask the hard questions, would a bowel movement count as movement during red light, green light? What kind of trauma would cause you to choose boy band burgundy as a makeover hairdo? And also, can anyone be ethical when the game itself is corrupt? We also talk about Squid Game.

Midnight Mass or Grandpa's Vacation Disaster

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/09/28

We watched the newest in the Mike Flanagan horror anthology and just like a Priest wandering the desert, we were in for a rude surprise. While we had different reactions to this miniseries, we could agree there were a few flaws. Always glad to hear Neil Diamond, that is what we could firmly agree on. So join us as we plod through this long, dreary trek through the promised land where we find out if our communion wine has been spiked or if our supplements have just really kicked in.

Showgirls or It's a Dog Eat Dog Food World

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/09/13

As we're entering fall, we're starting our "Could it be we're falling in love with movies" era and watching some of our favorite films starting with the cinematic masterpiece Showgirls. A film that manages to have made all the wrong choices and yet is so earnest, so wrong, it's won a place a in our hearts. We have a scrappy young woman who claws her way to the top of Las Vegas Nightlife with her own determination and nail art, overcoming Herculean obstacles only to discover that getting what you

Annette or Been Around the World with My Flying Baby

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/08/25

So this week we reviewed Annette and if you're looking for an unbiased review, you are not going to receive one. Blinded by our devotion to all things weird, Adam Driver's inexplicable charisma and Sparks charming score, it was difficult to watch this film with a critical lens. Were there flying puppets? Maybe. Were indulgent mistakes made? Who knows? Would we have watched 15 more hours of whatever was happening during this film? Absolutely. Join us as we try to come to terms with our feelings about

Dune 1984 or Spice up Your Life

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/08/03

In our continuing series Summertime Sadness, your Auntie Ruth suggested that Auntie Jeanna watch all 2 hours and 15 minutes of Dune, the 1984 version. So what would happen if you took a saga with as much material as Game of Thrones, and tried to condense it into one film? Wonder no longer, because Dune took on that challenge. While David Lynch was not given full control, hours of footage were cut, and what we are left with is some Lynchian fever dream with the earnest Kyle McLaughlin trying his

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/07/18

So, we're entering into our Summertime Sadness series where Auntie Ruth and I choose movies that the other has never seen and we have the suspicion they may not like. While we are alike in almost every way, there are a few things we disagree on, and just like two freckled chicks without sunscreen, we've decided to take it up a notch and make this summer miserable. Now, we reviewed Crimson Peak which for reasons unknown, and loving all other Del Toro films, sent Auntie Ruth into a blind rage. We had

Jennifer's Body or Sometimes Friendship Can Succubus

Your Weird Aunts ·

2021/06/30

So for our last episode of Pride we get to reclaim Jennifer's Body. A film that has been resurrected much like Jennifer herself and achieved cult status over the years. It follows the path of a friendship that is severely tested by demon possession, but along the way shows the strength of the bonds formed between young women and the hell of being a teenaged girl.
