1 hr 51 min - He Wants a Daddy (The Lighthouse - 2019) with Andrew Corns
Our misadventures with the fickle mother that is the ocean continues with our month-long celebration in nautical horror, Lost at Sea-tember! This time we've finally found solid ground with the 2019 film by Robert Eggers, The Lighthouse.
Joined by our friend Andrew Corns from The Revisionist Almanac, we obliterate seagulls, fancy some dino nuggets, and remark about Bjork somehow as we discuss the depths and ... shall we say ... lengths that make up the phallic titular lighthouse.

2 hr 6 min - Who Was That Unknown Topman? (Return of the Obra Dinn - 2018)
Haul the sails ya filthy currs as Lost at Sea-tember continues, this time solving mysteries in the 2018 puzzle game, Return of the Obra Dinn developed by Lucas Pope.
We enjoy "1-bit" graphics, are startled by maritime horrors, and spend a lot of time looking at men's feet as we find the fates of all who sailed the Obra Dinn.
Wait a second, who left all this unknown seaman all over the deck? Kraken ... clean up your mess!

2 hr 6 min - Too Many Hats! (Ghost Ship - 2002)
To some, it may be the worst movie ever, but there's gems - and gold! - to discover here, so we're excited to kick off a month of nautical horror with Lost at Sea-tember and the 2002 Steve Beck film Ghost Ship. Betrayal! Ghosts! Ships! This things has it all!

2 hr 2 min - Hot Pink Guillotine (Star Trek: Voyager - 1996)
Unnamed aliens are being tormented by a clown of their own making - the very representation of fear, which helps us to wrap up Auguste - our month-long celebration into clown horror. This time, the clown du jour is none other than legendary actor Michael McKean who wears the face paint and terrorizes his captives in the Star Trek Voyager episode "The Thaw."
Here's the executioner from the episode and you are welcome.

1 hr 26 min - Don't Blame Me, I Voted for Barbara Gordon (Batman: The Killing Joke - 1989)
The jokes just keep on coming because it's still Auguste! This time, that means we are covering the clown prince of Gotham, the Joker, with the 1989 graphic novel, Batman: The Killing Joke, written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland.
We talk about the history of "fridging" and how this well known example might not be as exemplary of the trope as it is known for! Also: throne of babies!

1 hr 47 min - Well That Wasn't Worth It (Terrifier 2 - 2022)
Auguste continues, as we take the whole month to look at various clowns in horror! And you might not hear them coming, but it's time to talk mimes and we do so with the low-budget gore-fest from 2022, Terrifier 2, written and directed by Damien Leone.
We talk about the very nature of art - and the nature of Art the Clown - as we try to sift through (unintentional?) missteps into misogyny, what is "too much," and if queer heroism can triumph an unstoppable evil.

2 hr 8 min - Black Handkerchief, Back Right Pocket (It - 1990)
We are kicking off a new theme month by talking about clown horror all month long. It's Auguste! And that means it is time to head through a perfectly silly little goblin door as we talk about the 1990 television mini-series, It, directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and adapted by Lawrence D. Cohen from Stephen King’s 1986 novel.
Bring along some friends to face the horrors of a demented clown, but also capitalism and fatphobia!

2 hr 54 min - Cart Before the ... Well, You Know (Nope - 2022)
We wrap up a monthlong celebration of Summer Blockbusters with the 2022 film, Nope, written and directed by Jordan Peele. We make an absolute spectacle of ourselves discussing animals, what expectations art carries with a filmmaker, and one of us makes a really hard sell to get a date with Keke Palmer.
Dance, Skydancers, dance!
