On this special episode, we are joined by Archie, a returning friend of the pod, to take another trip back to the crazy 90's and talk about the wild film Natural Born Killers!
It's a frenzied, psychedelic onslaught of violence with satirical takes on American culture, the media and sensationalism of said violence. The film is like a fierce storm of frightening, surreal and hypnotic imagery that just doesn't let up. Is it deep or dumb? You decide!
Susan's recommendation for next episode: What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962)
Music in this episode taken from the Natural Born Killers soundtrack.
Intro music: "Waiting For The Miracle" by Leonard Cohen
Outro music: "The Future" by Leonard Cohen

In what may be our shortest episode of the podcast ever, we talk about two Canadian horror films: American Mary & Ginger Snaps! While American Mary may have some good ideas and concepts, does it execute them well? And is Ginger Snaps deserving of the cult following it has? Tune in to find out!
Armand's recommendation for next episode: Natural Born Killers (1994)
Intro music: "Ginger Claps" by Machine Girl
Outro music: "Out By 16, Dead On The Scene" by Machine Girl

We're back after taking another goddamned leave of absence for a month! Again, we're sincerely sorry for the wait. A lot has happened in the past month, which will discuss in the episode, but I think we can finally get back on track with our regular schedule moving forward.
On this episode, we're diving deep into Jordan Peele's new summer blockbuster film "Nope" and we also talk about the classic John Carpenter film "They Live"! That's right, we're tag teaming 2 alien flicks back to back! Of course, HUGE SPOILER WARNING for Nope because we ain't holding back on this one folks.
Susan's recommendation for next episode: Ginger Snaps (2000) & American Mary (2012)

We're back after being away for almost a whole month! Again, we're so sorry for delaying yet another episode. As you can tell by the title, we have some major life updates that will affect the show moving forward. All will be explained in this episode.
We're gathered here again with Susan (who is now pretty much a co-host of the show) to discuss a film that is described as a campy, satirical homage to late 60's technicolor B-movies: The Love Witch. It's a very fitting film for the time we're living in as it dissects heteronormative relationships and gender roles/dynamics and how they affect women.
We also catch up on some other movies we saw over this past month such as Audition & Neptune Frost. Plenty of things to discuss in this episode, so don't skip a second!

On this episode, we are joined again by returning friend Susan to talk about the very well made biopic The Social Network. Not gonna lie folks, we were very procrastinated and scatterbrained in this episode and we ended up rambling about crazy things. Even if the convo is distracted at times, it still was a fun discussion and I think y'all will enjoy this one. What are your weird ass experiences with social media growing up? Please let us know.
Susan's film recommendation for next episode: The Love Witch (2016)

[Heads up: the audio quality is not the best in this episode. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.]
On this week's episode, we're joined by returning furry friend Jules The Nintendo Boy as well as a newcomer named Trace to discuss a little Japanese horror film called Hiruko The Goblin, directed by the innovative Japanese filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto! Tsukamoto's claim to fame was making a lil' small budget cyberpunk body horror film known as Tetsuo: The Iron Man. After gaining notoriety for making one of the most craziest films in the world, he was able to make his first proper studio film Hiruko The Goblin, which is based on a manga titled Yokai Hunter.
How does the film hold up in comparison to Tetsuo? What does Tsukamoto uniquely bring to the table with this film? All will be answered in this episode!

Heads up: this episode is mostly raw & unedited. If there are any issues with audio and the overall quality, we sincerely apologize.
On this week's episode, returning friend of the show Susan joins us to discuss the hit film of 2008/2009, Slumdog Millionaire. It won 8 Oscars and received much praise from white people all over the west. Is the praise well deserved and has this film stood the test of time? These questions will be pondered over in this lengthy discussion...
We also revisit The Northman and have a more in-depth conversation about it now that everyone has seen it. Armand & Susan also talk about their experience seeing the bizarre & abstract David Lynch film Inland Empire in a theater. There is a lot to talk about in this long episode so strap in for the ride!

We're baaaacckkk! Once again, we sincerely apologize for yet another delayed episode. Armand was too busy goofing off in Austin as he attended the Oblivion Access music fest with some friends.
On this week's episode, we take our 3rd journey into the surreal world of David Lynch and discuss his dark, sexual nightmare of a film Lost Highway. We also talk about the new Batman film and Armand briefly reviews the new Robert Eggers movie The Northman. Interestingly enough, these films can kinda all be tied together as Armand points out in this episode. What's the connecting tissue? Toxic masculine bullshit. Tune in to find out more! FREE THUGGER

(Heads up: there are a lot of audio problems this episode. We're so sorry. Gonna do our best to mitigate this in the future.)
We're back with a long one this week folks! On this episode, we're joined by our good friends Archie & Susan to talk about what some may deem as a beloved 90's American classic "White Men Can't Jump." We also saw the new mind-blowing, fun & innovative film "Everything Everywhere All At Once"! Do we finally crack the code and discover the answer of why exactly white men can't jump? Has "Rick and Morty" ruined the discussion of existentialism? All will be answered and discussed in this episode!

[CONTENT WARNING! This episode contains discussion of gross, graphic & sexual material.]
Hey y'all. As you can tell by the title, this is not our regular scheduled programming. Unfortunately due to just a bunch of scheduling conflicts & bad coincidences, we had to delay our episode on "White Men Can't Jump".
We didn't want y'all to go empty handed though. So to make up for another episode being postponed, we present to you our re-edited version of our discussion on the very gross horror/comedy film Kuso! Back in October 2021, Armand somehow was able to convince a few friends to watch this and oh boy did they have some things to say about this nasty movie. Pretty sure this traumatized them. It was all good fun at the end of the day though and it made for one of our most entertaining and interesting film discussions! We hope you enjoy this classic episode. Once the new episode is ready to go, you'll get it ASAP! Thank you so much for your love, patience and understanding. We really do appreciate it.
