This week, we discussed Possession (Andrzej Żuławski, 1981), Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg, 1993), and Event Horizon (Paul W. S. Anderson, 1997). As it turns out, we're all just trying to fill the holes inside of us. We go "off menu" again, only to quickly return to the original menu.

This week, we discussed The Secret of Roan Inish (John Sayles, 1994), Destroyer (Karyn Kusama, 2018), and Crossfire (Edward Dmytryk, 1947), and we realize we're really talking about the possibility of transformation. Or maybe grace. Anyway, stick around after the episode for a special bonus "off the menu" feature in which we get into the weeds about ol' Dungeon favorite The Untamed (Amat Escalante, 2016) and a little place we like to call "Fuck Garden."

This week, we discussed Don't Look Now (Nicolas Roeg, 1974), Wild Blue Yonder (Werner Herzog, 2005), and Lady in the Water (M. Night Shyamalan, 2006). Stick around after the episode for a special bonus "off the menu" feature we recorded for some reason.

This week, we discussed Sword of Doom (Kihachi Okamoto, 1966), Bone Tomahawk (S. Craig Zahler, 2015), and Ball of Fire (Howard Hawks, 1941).   We talked about weapons, including communication, and about what the pandemic has done to our sense of the dungeons within.

This week, we were joined again by special guest Natalie to discuss The Joy Luck Club (Wayne Wang, 1993), Jennifer's Body (Karyn Kusama, 2009), and Diary of a Mad Housewife (Frank Perry, 1970)—a collection of movies about, to at least some degree, the nightmare of being stuck in relationships that aren't working.

This week, we discussed Timecop (Peter Hyams, 1994), Gulliver's Travels (Dave Fleischer, 1939), and Paris, Texas (Wim Wenders, 1984). As it turns out, every single movie is actually La Jetee, so we get into that a bit.

This week, we discussed Air Bud (1997, Charles Martin Smith), Watership Down (1978, Martin Rosen), and Falling Down (1993, Joel Schumacher). As it turns out, these movies are all about the problem of knowing when to acquiesce and when to fight. They are also about coming to terms with your feelings about clowns.

This week, our special guest Natalie joined us again to discuss Onibaba (Kaneto Shindo, 1964), Mirror (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1975), and Martha Marcy May Marlene (Sean Durkin, 2011). Are cults doors? Is Seth Landman running away from God? Stick around and find out!

This week we watched Cabin Boy (Adam Resnick, 1994), Deep Cover (Bill Duke, 1992), and Post Tenebras Lux (Carlos Reygadas, 2012). Sometimes the cover is so deep, you drown.
