On this episode, Blamison talk about Nepo-baby Osgood Perkins' third feature film, Gretel & Hansel. Of course, we talk about its occult geometries, the consumptive critique of society and just how damn good this movie ultimately is. This movie is primed to be Perkins' most accessible film and yet the marketing is botched by Orion. Go figure.

Also talked about: nepotism, Perkins' obsession with young women, and more parenting bullshit.

Blamison pick up where they left off with Osgood Perkins' next released film Blackcoat's Daughter and this time they invite special guest Ryan Ellington of Grindhouse Theology and the Hardcore Baptist Convention™ onto the show. We break down how this early A24 offering is everything A24 wants to be and can never be again. We talk about how every choice Perkins makes in this film ripples into the present day "elevated horror" yet did it sincerely.

Other things talked about: Backdoor Sluts franchise, the origins of Grindhouse Theology and being a Baptist minister.

Blamison start off their Halloween series with a bit of a rocky start as Blake's mic seems to have been glitchy. First it sounds like Jamison is talking to himself, but eventually Blake's voice comes into the mix. This may be the case with the first three episodes...unfortunately.

That being said we start our exploration with Osgood Perkins' first(?) film I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House which can only be found on Netflix much to our chagrin.

We talk about watching this film inebriated or high or on acid and how nothing about this film seems like something that would get made now. Perkins hit the sweet spot with Netflix. Yet we find certain charms in the film.

Also talked about: parenting, coming up with the name of our series, and the typical bullshit.

Blamison actually talk about the Alien films. They cover Alien³ (Assembly Cut), Alien: Resurrection, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

Also talked about: just how bad Aliens is and they rank the franchise sans Alien: Romulus.

Clip from Sen. Ted Stevens describing the internet.

Blamison stretch the bounds of space and time and intellect in their discussion of the Alien franchise by exploring Alien³ (Assembly Cut) through to Alien: Covenant by way of CCM music, specifically the incestuous musical relationship between Decent Christian Talk, Audio Adrenaline and Newsboys. Stick around for this mind-expanding dive into the outer fringes of the Xenomorph mythos.

Also talked about: not Alien, so if that is, like, a problem for you then wait two more weeks and you will get nothing but Alien talk.

Clip from Multiplicity (1996).

Blamison deride the destestable follow-up to Alien with Aliens (get it? cuz there is more than one!) by the tech-obsessed (oblivious?) director James Cameron. We talk about the horrible characterizations, the special effects seams that are everywhere in this movie and how is the villains and locations were changed this film would be no different than an 80s actioner. And it doesn't stop there...

Also talked about: What we will be doing in the coming days, podcast time traveling, infant corporate takeover.

Clip: Key & Peele, Ssn 4, Ep. 1 - "Alien Invaders"

Blamison start a new series covering the main entries into the ALIEN franchise starting with the greatest of all 1979's Alien. We talk about how great the acting is, how seamless the effects are (and how they hold up over time) and some of our reasons for considering this movie a masterpiece.

Also, talked about: why this August is gonna be a great music month and various other tangents as we attempt to get to the movie bullshit quicker than normal.

Blamison dig into the film/propaganda piece known as

Also talked about: dat parenting 'bolshevik', silent films and their bombastic music, and we become singular spokesmen for our cities.

Clip from Season 6, Episode 24 of MADTv.

Blamison talk about the 2001 Oscar-bait film In The Bedroom by Todd Fields and the 2017 Mount Eerie album A Crow Looked at Me and discuss the theme of grief. This is a bit more of a downer episode than normal so gird your loins for some feelings (or lack there of--we're looking at you Blake).

Other topics discussed: Tom Cruise's cousin, what we have been watching lately, and confirm that Frailty is indeed a superhero film.

Clip from Season 2, Episode 1 of I Think You Should Leave.

Blamison talk about the utter confusion that is Joel Schumacher's 1995 hit film and soundtrack, Batman Forever. Is it good? Is it perhaps the only gay superhero movie? What was Tommy Lee Jones thinking when starring in this film? Why in the world was this soundtrack a multi-platinum success? All of these questions are addressed adequately and answered inadequately as only Fly By Films can do.

Other things talked about: our recent bouts with parasites and what we are reading, watching and listening to.
