This episode is an examination of a film that has been on Nichole's "to cover" list for some time: 2014’s Late Phases.

The movie follows an older, blind veteran as he moves into a retirement community and goes on the defensive against an unknown creature (or creatures) taking out members of the community. Werewolf movies are a blind spot for Nichole, but she really appreciated what this film brings to the table.

Intro and outro music is “The Wind Frazzled Your Long Brown Hair” by Flashback81: @81flashback

It's the end of the road for Sexy & Surreal as Terry and Joe hit 40 episodes and run out of texts. But what better film to go out on than The Shrouds (2024), the Canadian auteur's ode to death, memory, and obsession with the physical?

Also: Vincent Cassel as director proxy, Kruger's triple roles, conspiracy theories and failed Netflix series

Plus: a tease that there's still life in the podcast?

For this episode, we’re talking about the 2025 film, The Rule of Jenny Pen. Tagging in is The Pod and the Pendulum's Mike Snoonian to discuss everything from the stigmatization of NPS (neuropsychiatric symptoms) associated with Alzheimers to the fear of aging.

Plus: lots of praise to the lead performances of John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush, who bring a dose of subtlety to some very broad characters.

Gena, Jenn, and Joe return to celebrate Mother's Day with a look at director Frank Perry's Mommie Dearest (1981).

Starring a delightfully unhinged performance by Faye Dunaway, the adaptation of Christina Crawford's autobiography is dark (C/W: child abuse), but also...campy and hilarious?

Plus: a dissection of the film's most iconic scenes, the deleted bits, and whether this film would play well with "the youts" of today

It's the end of the road for the Lynch side of the podcast as Joe and Terry wrap up Twin Peaks: The Return with Parts 16-18.

It's the finale, so how does Terry feel about the 18 hour "movie"? What was Joe's experience rewatching the series?

Plus: praise for McLachlan, circling back on the Tulpas, episode 17 as the "conventional" ending and why we think that The Return just might be the perfect synthesis/culmination of Lynch's themes!

Joe and Sharai are annoyed with Kate and Henry and are confused why Lady Phoebe is here to do the silliest thing of the episode.

We also discuss this dramatic jailbreak, being happy to see Nadia is back on the chessboard, and why Maddie accidentally outing herself to Harrison while trying to get laid is the best. 

Plus: Unpacking arguably one of the most delightfully unhinged bits of scene work that Penn Badgley has ever given YOU.
