Chop up those rats and tomatoes and practice your vaudeville act because we're joined by guest Tyrone Williams to discuss Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962). 
Obviously the "feud" looms large over this film, so Trace has done a mega deep dive into the careers of both Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, this production and what followed. 
Plus: overusing the word "cloche", Oscar talk, a neat vs on the rocks hard liquor tangent, accusations of familiarity, a queer reading of Edwin, and debate about whether Blanche lives or dies.

Film History

Swallow that fish and peel the skin off your legs because we're discussing Lisa Brühlmann's aquatic coming-of-age film Blue My Mind (2017)! Tagging in for the conversation are Rachel and Ariel of The More Deadly Podcast!
Join us as we dive in (ha ha) to this tale (ha ha) of a young girl who starts turning into a mermaid after getting her first period. From angsty teen antics (CW: sexual assault, self-harm) to questionable dietary changes, Blue My Mind is a fascinating journey into the mind of the teenage girl.
Plus: questioning some countries' ages of consent, one strict foreplay mantra, Joe's history as an arsonist(????) and the transgressive nature of on-screen menstrual blood.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 (Patreon Clip)

Grab Jonesy the cat and prep the explosives because we're celebrating the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott's Alien (1979).
This film is all about reproduction and gender (roles) from Sigourney Weaver's iconic performance as Ripley to the male rape of Kane to the evolving form of the Alien.
It's also an incredible technical feat, a take-down of capitalism, and a reason why you should never trust Ian Holm when he's dissecting.
