It’s our cult classic wrap up! We chat about the unique perspectives of cult classics, including the fact that there are many cults featured in these films. We then question who the leader is in cult fandoms and whether these kinds of followings should be labelled as “cult”.

We’re back with another Coen brothers film! We chat about the use of the stranger at the bar in the film and what the main lesson to learn from the Dude. In the podcast, we also explore the meandering, almost nonsensical structure of “The Big Lebowski”, and how that adds to the main feeling and takeaway from the film.

We’ve decided to watch “Beetlejuice”, because Cheryl can’t stomach many horror films. There are many cult classic horror films, many of which are set in haunted houses. Why are haunted houses the perfect setting? And, what does Beetlejuice do differently with the haunted house?
