Listen Later

In this episode, Wes breaks down the "artfully gross" world of Touch Me (2025). We explore how director Addison Heimann blended early-90s indie comedy wit with extreme Japanese shunga influences to create a body horror film that is as addictive as the alien at its center.

  • The "Situationship" Metaphor: How the film uses tentacles to talk about toxic exes.
  • Practical Magic: Why Russell FX (The Ritual, Ready or Not) is the MVP of this production.
  • Production Lore: From filming in a living room to Pavlovian bells on set.
  • The Verdict: Why this bizarre 3.5-star ride is a must-watch for physical media collectors.
