Hot for Creature

This week Rob & Dylan watched Robert Zemeckis's The Witches. They're lucky to be alive.

In one of their most divisive eps yet, the creatures debate the quality of Oz Perkins's Gretel & Hansel. They talk nepo babies, child actors and a chance encounter with Alucarda

The creatures are back in the new year to discuss the 2020 box office smash The Wretched. Dylan tells the story of meeting on of his heroes, Rob muses on the personalities and streaming services and the two mine the canon for unrecognized auteurs. Happy New Year!

Happy holidays beautiful creatures! The creeps are here to finally cover 2015's Krampus (The Naughty Cut). They discuss film scores, Tron: Legacy, Spielberg and the recent Violent Night while squaring off with the Anti-Santa himself. Maybe the real Xmas present was the friends we made on the way.

The creatures briefly convene after their radio silence to plot out their 2023 holiday special! They bring the gift of movies and try to remember how to podcast!

For the first and last time on this podcast the creatures are diving into Gaspar Noe's oeuvre to see his singular take on witches in 2019's Lux Æterna. They pay tribute to Charlotte Gainsbourg, discuss the film's messages of misogyny in filmmaking, and talk about where in the world of cinema they would want to move.

Cw: gendered industry abuse

The creatures are joined by screenwriter, playwright and theatre practitioner Julian Sky Aldana-Tejada to discuss the most difficult film they've ever reviewed: the polarizing remake of Dario Argento's Suspiria. They go through some new physcial media acquisitions and straight into the weeds to decipher this mind-bending reimagining. It's all a mess, isn't it?

A little review cut from the Pyewacket episode for Phil Tippett's Mad God. No spoilers here!

Angst. The final frontier. The creatures are watching indie darling Pyewacket and reliving their young almost-goth days with the summoning of a witch-demon. They compare the film to other indie offerings, discuss sci-fi nomenclature and film noir, getting as nerdy as possible for your listening pleasure.

Cw: self-harm, familial trauma

The creatures are ready to dissect this 2016 horror/thriller with a doctor's precision, taking on The Autopsy of Jane Doe. They discuss the trappings of late 2000's horror, the connections between this movie and the earlier witch classics and, of course, how Star Wars could be rebooted to amazing effect.
