55 min - Coraline - Creating Horror for Children
Just because it's for kids, doesn't mean that Neil Gaiman's novella and Laika Studios' film aren't creepy as heck. KJ and Pippa discuss the value of spooky stories for kids, and talk about the old short story that inspired Coraline in the first place.

59 min - The Disaster Artist, The Room, and Being a Bad Director
Pippa and KJ are joined once more by Ryan Trumpler, this time to discuss James Franco's The Disaster Artist, based on Greg Sestero's memoir of the same name about the making of The Room. This is an episode that started out silly, but turned into a deeper discussion of bad behavior from directors and whether that behavior is tolerable for the sake of art. (Spoiler: it's not.)
1 hr 18 min - Maze Runner and Remembering the Dystopia Craze
This week, KJ and Pippa are joined by special guest Jino from the Nostalgia Club Podcast! Listen on to hear our hot takes, fun facts, and critical analysis of the sci-fi dystopian tale that dares to ask: what would society be like if you put a bunch of teenage boys in a weird little maze? We're digging up this somewhat forgotten moment of the dystopia craze with a little help from our resident nostalgia expert.
