Seb, Funké and Hannah get their minds freaked when Adam unveils his newest illusion: a TV special he is pretending is a movie. The team takes a deep dive (longer than the actual special) into Criss Angel as entertainer, magician, and religious figure.

The easiest episode title of all time is provided by Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman’s existential screenwriting comedy, Adaptation. Seb makes the case for one of the least weird movies Nara has ever seen, and for the great Chris Cooper.

Nara skates in with the odd skateboarding/revenge flick Gleaming the Cube. The fuck-it-five-hosts discuss the film’s bizarre title, weird subject matter, and begin their new miniseries “Chris It Wack”.

What’s this? A lost episode??? Recorded in the beforetimes as the beginning of a scrapped Conspiracy Films mini-series, Seb untangles a web of intrigue to arrive at a terrible truth: no one else likes this movie.

On this very special episode, Nara interviews director Amanda Kramer about her claustrophobic coming of age film, Ladyworld. Adam and Seb join for a post interview discussion about isolation, identity, and the stupidest we’ve ever been.

Adam takes the team on a trip to Bad City, with Ana Lily Amirpour’s 2014 Festival hit, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Is the film a comment on changing Iranian culture, a condemnation on American interventionism, or a revisionist feminist western? Tune in to find out. Plus, the first ever Is It Wack? Halftime Handoff.

Special guest Khanh invites Adam, Funké and Seb to ponder Kevin Smith’s divisive midnight movie, Tusk. What follows is a tense discussion on the career of Kevin Smith and the importance of Justin Long. Grab your favourite Walrus and take a listen.

Special Guest Ryan Al-Hage acts as a medium between the team and Olivier Assayas’ melancholy ghost story, Personal Shopper. Is this a horror film? Is Kristin Stewart a good actor? Who produced Ghostbusters? All of this and more answered in this very episode.

An entirely more positive episode about Wes Craven’s 90’s horror classic. Hannah assembles some of today’s hottest young heartthrobs to discuss the central question: do you like scary movies?

Funké looks into the mirror and invokes Bernard Rose’s horror cult classic. In the second episode of our Hallowack series, Adam, Funké and Nara discuss the film’s relative merits, while Hannah and Seb are banished to podcast jail.
