Hi listeners! I am slightly under the weather today, so I apologize in advance that this episode may not be as long as my others. Today's episode is about the 2013 film "Under the Skin" and boy oh boy, does it sure get under there and stick around...

Settle in with your cup of tea for this week's episode about 2009 thriller, Dogtooth. This movie will have you hootin' and hollerin', and not in a good way. This movie is probably going to occupy my brain permanently for a few months, so if you decide to join me on this one, I apologize in advance.

Get excited because we have a thriller this week! This week we will be talking about the ever-frustrating American Psycho (2000). This movie was always one of my favorites - let's face it, Christian Bale never looked better. Then, about 6 months ago, I decided I needed to read the book. That book really flipped my world around for a few weeks. American Psycho is an important and entertaining social commentary that will leave you feeling uneasy for days to come. Buckle up.
