October 05 199. Frankenbirdeater
Welcome to spooky season, where Christine and Emily celebrate by talking about movies that aren't especially spooky. BUT THEY'RE REALLY GOOD! Up first is Frank Henenlotter's classic Frankenhooker, a film that BOTH your lady hostesses have somehow never seen. They follow it up with its spiritual sequel, 2023's Birdeater, a fascinating drama? thriller? something? by writing/directing team Jack Clark and Jim Weir. Both are streaming on Shudder, so have at it!

September 02 197. Mega Fire Birds

Be sure to follow The Projection Booth podcast for far more researched and thorough film analysis!

May 17 194. Julie & Julia & Julia Ducournau's Titane
In their quest to amp up some coverage of lady director movies, Emily and Christine find some common threads between 2009's Julie and Julia (directed by Nora Ephron) and 2021's Titane (directed by Julia Ducournau). Somehow it all makes sense.

April 12 193. The Brides of Frankenstein's Monster
Christine and Emily cordially invite you to the most awkward double wedding in cinematic history. On this obvious episode, the ladies tackle 1935's Bride of Frankenstein and 1985's The Bride. It's a scream!

March 08 192. The Adventures of Wong Foo, Queen of the Desert
Don your finest flip flop minidress and hop into our ill-prepared vehicle! We're driving cross-country with two glamorous road trips located on different sides of the world because let's face it: you can't talk about 1994's Priscilla, Queen of the Desert without ALSO talking about 1995's To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar. So many long titles with punctuation marks. So many glorious costumes. So many '90s hallmarks that age awkwardly, yet earnestly. Enjoy!
1 hr 11 min
February 08 191. The Ugly Him
Christine and Emily return to look at two of 2025's most interesting genre films that share a lot of thematic elements! First up is the OSCAR NOMINATED The Ugly Stepsister, then the unfairly maligned Him. Spoilers abound. Have at it.
