Film History

Look out for UFOs and stay away from Froot Loops because we're discussing Gregg Araki's tender-yet-traumatizing adaptation Mysterious Skin (2004). Tagging in for the conversation is RogerEbert.com Assistant Editor and The Spool founder & EIC Clint Worthington.
Join us as we have many difficult conversations about a film filled to the brim with controversial subject matter. From Joseph Gordon Levitt and Brady Corbet's heartbreaking performances to the accurate depiction of the long-term effects of child sex abuse, there's no shortage of things to talk about.
Plus: a defense of the single working mother, praise for Michelle Trachtenberg, MPAA woes (again) and the journey of Scott Heim's source novel from page to screen.

Tarot (Patreon Clip)

After plenty of requests for coverage, we're finally caught up on AMC's Interview with the Vampire S01. Spoiler alert: we both strongly recommend this.
Qualms about Sam Reid's accent aside, this show has everything: hot sex, unabashed queerness, race and class critiques, and Bailey Bass is  as Claudia.
Plus: thirsting after Jacob Anderson, vibing with Eric Bogosian's interviewer, and anticipating Ben Daniels in S02

Interview with the Vampire S01

Smash all the lights and strike a match because we're talking about disability horror, Audrey Hepburn and Wait Until Dark (1967).
Joining us for the conversation is disability documentary filmmaker Ariel Baska, who has a love/hate relationship with the film and its contribution to "cripping up."
Plus: that famous jump scare, accusations of misogyny and ableism, the gross history of "Ugly Laws," and the return of Trace's recurring joke about Charade
