Apologies for miss naming Leon.

Today, we're diving into the shadowy world of Maxine Minx, where the female experience on film takes center stage. We’ll explore the dark and twisted realms of sex work, the iconic Bette Davis, and the eerie subgenre of hagsploitation. Gender roles, societal expectations, and the treatment of female bodies at the hands of male figures—nothing is off the table.

We’ll also dissect relationship dynamics, both on-screen and off, and no horror podcast is complete without a deep dive into the grisly kills that keep us on the edge of our seats. Along the way, we’ll witness Ti West's growth as a director and the art of delivering constructive criticism, helping each other grow while embracing differing viewpoints.
