This week, we’ve got a guest curator in the house! Caleb—Lead Podcasting producer, social media pro, and haunted bookstore enthusiast—takes over the feed to bring you one of his personal faves: I Hate It But I Love It.

If you’ve ever watched a movie and thought, “That was kinda awful… but also incredible?”—this show gets you. Each week, hosts Kat Angus and Jocelyn Geddie (both based in Toronto) pick apart a film they love and hate in equal measure. It’s smart, chaotic, and packed with deep dives, behind-the-scenes facts, weird accents, and original musical numbers. Yes, really.

In the episode Caleb’s picked, they take on 1994’s The Crow—a cult classic with confusing lore, campy characters, and a tragic backstory that’s hard to ignore.

If you like your movie podcasts unfiltered, funny, and full of pop culture brainworms, I Hate It But I Love It is well worth the add.
