Benjamin Wheeler brings the crew along to Megalopolis. What is it? Dead wife? Defeated by Godzilla? The last movie Francis Ford Coppola will make? All we have is questions and the inability to turn back time to see this movie in a theatre with other people.

Josh introduces Anna and Cori to this Hong Kong horror comedy featuring a cursed widow, a breakdancing chair, and a paper car. Enjoy!

Anna brings us the expressionistic dark horror erotic comedy Dr. Caligari where we have mixed reactions to better living through chemicals. It’s weird and off-putting with fantastic performances, fun effects, and parboiled sheep trotters.

Our guest Teara Eakin has brought The Bothersome Man to us from Norway. He’s a man in a place that should be everything he wants but he simply won’t conform and be happy. It’s dark and beautiful and funny and difficult.

Is this All That Heaven Allows?! Fancy technicolour and Brechtian alienation?! Josh has many smart things to say about Douglas Sirk’s work with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. Cori and Anna are here just to giggle at every mention of White Tip Spruce. Check it out!

Anna invites us to check inside every drawer in Jan Švankmajer’s Alice aka Něco z Alenky. It’s about a stoic living girl on a non-stop stop motion taxidermy adventure with all our familiar friends! The White Rabbit! The Mad Hatter! Bill!

Josh introduces everyone to Closed Circuit. A 1978 Italian tv movie about going to the theatre in Italy in 1978. And also it’s about tv. And commercials. It’s excellent and we suggest watching it with little to no information and then maybe giving our show a listen.

Anna, Josh, and Cori are joined by VFX veteran Chad “Wedge” Collier as we cross state lines to escape dirty cops. Convoy is a movie based on a song but they made a new version of the song for the movie. Then they made the movie too long and it’s a good thing we all love CB radios!

The Year 2024 in review with Canada’s Sweetheart Anna Wasserman, Coriander “Content Creator” Dickinson, and movie enthusiast Josh A. Cagan.

Anna introduces us to the surreal contemplation of computer intelligence that is Computer Chess. It’s 1980 and there’s a chess tournament where the winning computer shall face off against the human mind! Also human minds will face off against human minds! Maybe humans and computers aren’t so different after all?
