Summon a few vengeful spirits and join us on this spoooooooooky installment as Christine and Emily tackle Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem and newcomer Ted Geoghegan’s We Are Still Here. We gently spoil both, but give fair warning and never get too specific about the details. Also of note: lots of talk regarding RuPaul’s Drag Race, because why not? Share your own thoughts over at our Facebook group. And to those who were worried: it’s okay. The dog doesn’t die.

Journey back with the ladies to a simpler time, a time when cocaine ruled the night and hair gel ruled the day. On this very hedonistic episode, Christine and Emily cover Mary Harron’s 2000 adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s controversial novel American Psycho, pairing it with Gregor Jordan’s lesser known and loved 2008 adaptation of The Informers. Much kidnapping and missed vampires ensue. Come discuss these films and so much more over at our Facebook group (just search The Feminine Critique) or tweet @femininepodcast.

The ladies go back in time to cover Hitchcock's Rebecca and The Archers' I Know Where I'm Going!

If you like hand-eating jewelry boxes, non-rapey hospital orderlies, and bad math, then boy is this the episode for you! After an inevitable indictment of the V/H/S series, Christine and Emily dive in back to the start of the ‘90s to see if the cultural icon that is Pretty Woman holds up to 2016 eyes. Up next is John Carpenter’s (sigh) 2010 output, The Ward. We do talk heavily about its ending, but there’s fair warning before we spoil. Share your thoughts on the matter at our Facebook page and always pack your own floss.

Do you read Sutter Cane? Because Sam Neill does. And it’s a pretty good bet that Billy Zane does too. When you’re stuck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with nothing but Nicole Kidman and a terrible dog, these things happen. As you probably guessed, Christine and Emily are tackling 1989’s Dead Calm and 1994’s In the Mouth of Madness. Also, The Darkest Hour is terrible and you shouldn’t waste your life on it. Agree with us on Facebook or Twitter @femininepodcast. Bon voyage!

Spells! Puritans! Butter! It’s a witchtastic episode as Christine and Emily sign the devil’s book, don pretty frocks, and rap their way through 1989’s Teen Witch and 2016’s The W(VV)itch. Fair warning, we do go into fairly substantial depth with the latter and discuss many spoilers, so you’re better off flying your broomstick over to your nearest theater before listening to the second half. Unless you think you’re above it all because you’re the most popular girl. Now that we’ve said these things, we guarantee you’ll never these songs out of your head. TOP THAT.

Put up your dukes and maybe your life for this very aggressive episode. It starts with Karyn Kusama’s 2000 film debut Girlfight, a Sundance champion that marked the start of Michelle Rodriguez’s career. Next up is 2013’s Raze, starring the cast of Death Proof and a lot of sweatpants. We apologize for a few technical glitches, which include such hits as “Emily doesn’t understand the mute button,” “Christine’s Skype decides to censor her,” and of course, “seltzer spillage fiasco extraordinaire.” That aside, we hope you enjoy the show and share your thoughts on our Facebook group or Twitter locale (@femininepodcast). Hugs and punches!

Back when she had two arms and a full head of hair, Charlize Theron co-starred in a little film called Reindeer Games. And we watched it. Also up is 2015’s Dark Places, the most recent adaptation of a Gillian Flynn novel. We actually manage to avoid spoiling either film, so fear not…if you had that fear. Share your thoughts on these films and the 937 others that we discuss via our Facebook group or Twitter identity (@femininepodcast). Now go wash that blood off your Santa suit and enjoy.

Point your toes and attack it! It’s our super-sized ballet extravaganza, with special guest star Jason Fozzie Nelson and a LOT of headbands. First up is The Archers’ 1948 classic The Red Shoes, featuring lots of dancing and velvet. Up next is 1985’s film adaptation of Broadway’s A Chorus Line, a movie near and dear to two out of three hearts. Come share your love (or hatred) of the dance over at our Facebook page or Twitter @femininepodcast. Don’t forget the clogs.

And on the last day of Christmas, my true love brought to me an ABC Family Channel/WWE Studios co-production about bounty hunting, bland love interests, and sassy sidekicks sporting big earrings. That’s right: just because it stars The Miz doesn’t mean it’s not your standard made-for-TV Christmas movie. Christine and Emily hope you enjoyed December’s stocking stuffer series and will return with more challenging films in 2016. Until then, happy holidays!
