Vesper is viscous, gooey, slipshod, and visceral. Ferny plants shoot lethal, glowing pink darts that burrow into you and turn into insects. Scavenging pilgrims build rubbish towers high into the sky. A floating orb holds the consciousness of a bedridden man, and a 13-year-old girl plays with plants to have some shot at survival. Yes, we enjoyed this one

Our biggest piece of advice if you're planning a hurricane party with your friends in a mansion for the weekend - Put. Away. The swords. We watched Bodies Bodies Bodies and talked about funny horror and killer parlor games. And also - what are people in their twenties like again??

Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal is bizarre, uncomfortable, emotional, surprising, and deeply, deeply weird. This show was HBO being cool with spending millions to let a guy confront his anxiety through helping others confront their own anxieties - which is ok by us!

This week we're coming at you from our neighbor to the north - Canada! We watched The Gray Man, starring Ryan Gosling (a Canadian!) as a CIA assassin named Six who learned a little too much about his employer and so is on the run in a cat and mouse chase across Europe. The movie was wildly expensive to produce and is wildly mediocre. Do better, Netflix.

Special episode alert! We've got two guests joining us -- New York State Assemblymember Jon Rivera, and Ethan Powers -- to review Baz Luhrmann's Elvis. We laugh, we cry, we disagree, we spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what's going on with Tom Hanks. Are you lonesome tonight?? Well, come join us! sorry :(

It's 1997 and our queens Parker Posey, Toni Collete, and Lisa Kudrow are at the height of their powers playing temps trying to survive in a mind-numbing cubicle hellscape. Clockwatchers, another entry in our ongoing series on labor movies, feels prescient in its representation of disposable workers that sadly still holds true today. Bonus: we reminisce about a few of our own past jobs! There's some, uh, pallet smashing.

For this episode we joined the Bob's Burgers crew in their quest to pay one month of their business loan payment and solve a grisly murder. It's sweet and gross and comforting and touching. The Belchers - they're just like us!

In Alex Rivera's 2008 sci-fi drama Sleep Dealer, people are plugged into a global computer network via nodes on their bodies, work involves controlling your robot avatar in another country, and memories are sold to pay back student loans. It's the near future!!

Hey, it's Joe. I'm not used to writing these episode recaps and, well, we watched the 2021 movie The Humans (based on the 2015 play) and it was, uh, full of sad but also enduring humans.

Once you get us started, we can talk about work until the cows come home, or until it's 5 o'clock and time to ride the brain-blending elevator down to the floor where you get to be a human again. We talk Kafka, fluorescent lighting, bad design, worker solidarity, personal sh*t, and waffle parties. It's Severance time, baby.
