Happy American Heart Month! What better time to do the pod's first revisit – all the way back to Episode 1 - than with the 1992 classic, Dr. Giggles? This film has had a piece of Nichole's heart since childhood when she would use it to help talk about disability with friends. Now, many decades later, the film still packs more nuance than even she remembered.

Gena, Jenn, and Joe are back from a slightly extended holiday break to talk patron saint of the pod Rose Byrne and her Oscar-nominated performance in writer/director Mary Bronstein's gruelling If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025).

This film is *not* playing around: it is incredibly rough, but it is also effective and even necessary.

Plus: Conan O'Brien's dramatic role, worrying about an affair with A$AP Rocky, and why Linda's husband and child are barely seen.

A cure can be alluring – especially when your prognosis is only 6 months. In Mother of Flies, Lena is a young cancer patient who is surrounded by a religious family and community asking her to rely on prayers as her condition becomes more grave. This film also looks at how care becomes a dehumanizing task that can strip someone of autonomy, intentions be damned.

Welcome to the first episode of 2026! This is going to be a look at some of the horror films I found particularly unsettling, moving, and/or poignant – or just plain fun – in 2025. I couldn’t think of a better way to kick of the year with something easy and breezy to welcome us into a new year!

Terry and Joe wrap up another series of Sexy & Surreal with a look at Caitlin Cronenberg's 2024 feature directorial debut, Humane.

The Canadian film has a great cast of familiar faces, but as a satire, it doesn't have enough bite. There's plenty of potential here, and we're curious to see what Caitlin does next, but this doesn't quite come together.

Plus: wrapping up thoughts on Caitlin, Brandon & Jennifer overall, and how the landscape has changed since their famous fathers started their filmmaking careers.

Terry and Joe tackle our final Lynch title as we discuss Jennifer Lynch's last film, 2012's Chained.

From misguided accusations of torture porn to a bizarre 'twist' ending, this film is *interesting*. Still, the performances from Vincent D'Onofrio and Eamon Farren are outstanding, and the premise has plenty of promise.

Plus: nature vs nurture, the film as play, and Lynch's "booked and busy" TV career
