This week Drusilla and Joshua watched the Soviet/Ukrainian horror film, Viy, which was the first and possibly only Soviet horror film. Josh watched Werewolves Within, which leads to a discussion of little dogs and the people who hate them and/or hate to see them die. Drusilla watched the criminally underrated John Ritter film, Stay Tuned, which leads into problematic Jeffrey Jones and another dog. 

The pair briefly acknowledges the situation in Ukraine. Introducing the film requires a little discussion about Ukraine's place in the USSR and Gogol's history. This is a folkloric pagan horror included in Severin's folk horror boxset, All the Haunts Be Ours. It's kind of like Sondheim's Into the Woods. 

The pair does a deep dive on the plot, aesthetic, and legacy with plenty of tangents along the way. Then they play Have They Seen It before signing off, but not before announcing the next movie, 1973's Don't Look Now.

In this episode, Drusilla and Josh discuss one of the chicest lesbian vampire films of all time, The Hunger. It's so chic that Drusilla wore a beret! Drusilla watched Mill of the Stone Women and Josh watched Netflix's new Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022), which was surprisingly good. The duo discusses the sequels in brief and the general pitfalls of sequels and reboots. 

Then they get into the feature which stars Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon, and David Bowie. They discuss the less-than-stellar reviews from the time and how it compares to the 80s vampire films that followed.  Drusilla and Josh go through the narrative, which takes them down tangents like whether or not New York has alleyways and the makeup effects. The studio ruined the ending, maybe. 

Finally, Drusilla and Josh play Have They Seen It. They also announce the next feature, which is the Ukrainian horror film, Viy. 

Drusilla and Josh are joined by FREAKY and TIME CUT writer, Michael Kennedy, to discuss Rob Zombie's 2012 film, The Lords of Salem. Before they get to the feature, they discuss Battle Royale, The Man with Two Brains, Eyes of Fire, and Allison's Birthday. They discuss Zombie as auteur, what counts as an arthouse film, Nina Garcia, Sherri Moon Zombie and her terrible dreds, The Witch and witches generally, Gregg Araki, horror gatekeeping, low expectations, who has or has not seen the movie, and much, much more!
