Viddy Well Podcast

Fasten your seatbelts because Sofie Somoroff and Celina Bernstein are here to take you on one wickedly revved up journey with the short film Ride Baby Ride!

This well-executed bit of horror cinema provides visceral thrills and seeks to unscrew the male mechanics of the rape-revenge film, boasting some revved-up symbolic meaning under the hood of this well-oiled machine.

Join Aaron as he chats with Sofie & Celina about collaboration, the making of their film, and much much more!

Go behind the vein-popping sophomore feature from writer/director Rose Glass, Love Lies Bleeding, with this special Q&A! Remember: "ONLY LOSERS QUIT," So don't skip out on this episode like most folks do leg day!

The film is a quirky and queer neo-noir full of greasy mullets, guns, and girl-on-girl with brief interludes of body horror. Its sexual fluidity, spunky attitude, and cosmic edge recall the films of Gregg Araki mixed with the Wachowski's Bound, Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise, Darren Aronofsky's Requiem For A Dream, and David Lynch's Lost Highway. It's a strange cinematic cocktail of sex and violence whose mileage will vary from viewer to viewer.

If you "stand with the Bank Of America," you had better check out this Q&A with Problemista writer/director/star Julio Torres and co-star Tilda Swinton.

Flying under the A24 banner, Problemista is a marvelously messy, charmingly chaotic, quirky, cute, and sweet lil flick about immigrants navigating difficult situations and disorder. It also reminds you how amazing Tilda Swinton is, in the off chance that you've forgotten.

The film will hit theaters everywhere on 3/22, so go check it out!

Aaron kicks off season six of the podcast with a conversation writer/director Blake Simon about his twisty psychological horror thriller, Red Velvet. Join them as they discuss the project, its production,and much much more!
