In my last ep for a while, I talk to Jonny about It's A Sin, RTD and alternative HIV/AIDS narratives.

I wrestle with 'Mank'--and you know what they say: when you wrestle with 'Mank', you both get dirty, but 'Mank' likes it!

'Mank' lovers, proceed with caution.

Contains major spoilers for 'Mank', minor spoilers for 'Citizen Kane', and a gratuitous tangent about 'The Simpsons'. I also rank on-screen portrayals of Orson Welles in a special one-off segment, Who Wore it Wellesest?

In (possibly?) my most disorganised episode so far, I look back on Boxdtober, look forward to a new challenge in November, and talk about the Starz show Counterpart (and a little bit about the Hulu show Four Weddings and a Funeral, but not a lot).

The Christopher Sharrett article I couldn't remember the name of is 'The Horror Film in Neoconservative Culture'.

Did you know that 'Clueless' and 'Bring It On' both had their UK premieres on the 20th of October, five years apart? It's true! And to celebrate, I have a great conversation with Ericka-Jade Mulherin, who was kind enough to guest on this episode.

Also, apparently Nicole Bilderback was in both films? I didn't realise that until we'd already recorded and I was in the middle of writing this description! Sorry to Nicole for not bringing it up. To be fair, her role in 'Clueless' is pretty small (best known as the "let's play suck and blow" girl).

As always, you can find me @panickypictures on twitter and @panickyintheuk on Letterboxd. Come and say hello!

Instead of my planned 'Kicking and Screaming' ep, I talk about the Cineworld closures and some of my #Boxdtober picks. I change topics at about ten minutes in, if you want to avoid the depressing part.

I revisit 'Showgirls' on the 25th anniversary of its premiere!

Please be warned that I will be discussing adult themes in this episode, including scenes of sexual violence. This episode also contains spoilers for the film!
