  • We've Got Mail #58 | What Does It Mean To Be "Well Read?" (Guest: M. Lopes da Silva)

    It's an all-new episode of WE'VE GOT MAIL, the podcast where film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold answer YOUR letters!

    This week, Bibbs and Witney are joined by author M. Lopes da Silva, whose new novel HOOKER is a retrowave, feminist, pro-queer, pro-sex work slasher/vigilante thriller about a sex worker in 1980s Los Angeles who uses hooks as weapons to fight a misogynistic serial killer!

    Our listeners sent in a bunch of questions for Bibbs, Witney and M., including what it actually means to be "well read," which fictional books we'd like to own, and what our unproduced screenplays are like!

  • Rocky Horror: Episode Zero - Hercules (1958) and Hercules Unchained (1959)

    Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, and in Season 2, they're using THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW as the starting point!

    This week on EPISODE ZERO they venture back to ancient Greece, or at least Italy in the 1950s, for an epic double feature of HERCULES (1958) and HERCULES UNCHAINED (1959). These two superhero blockbusters put brawny men front and center, with glorious homoerotic subtext that can't possibly be ignored!
