Welcome back folks! This episode we have the pleasure of watching and reviewing Strange Darling, a twist on the serial killer genre.

Let's put a smile on that face. Wait... different Joker. On this episode, we head back into Gotham City for the sequel to Todd Phillips' (The Hangover, Old School, Due Date) epic character study of Arthur Fleck, aka "Joker." This film has been getting quite a lot of flack lately from audiences and critics alike. You could even say it's been getting a lot of "Fleck." Get it? Fleck. Like Arthur FLECK? HaHAHahahHA (Sorry, bad joke). But appropriate! And hey, don't we all go a little mad sometimes??? Starring Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator, Walk the Line, The Master) and Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born, House of Gucci).

Don't even think about saying his name THREE times! That's right folk, sticking to our "Spooky Season" theme, for this episode we take a trip back down nostalgia lane to the underworld, in all it's nightmarish, comedic bureaucracy. This is a sequel to the original film 36 years after the release of Beetle Juice (1988). And brought to us by the twisted and fantastically fun mind of Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Big Fish) and starring the insanely talented Michael Keaton (Batman, Spotlight, The Founder, Birdman), Winona Ryder (Little Women, Alien: Resurrection, Stranger Things), and Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, X, Scream).

Enjoy!!!

Emily and Preston guess the plot to the film Salem's Lot (2024). Based on the novel by Stephen King (It, The Shining, The Stand, Running Man), we follow Ben Mears journey back to his hometown, which is quickly overrun by... vampires. This is the third version of the Salem's Lot screen adaptations. Screenplay penned and Directed by Gary Dauberman (It, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home) and starring Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick, Lessons in Chemistry, Bad Times at the El Royale), Makenzie Leigh (Gotham, The Knick, The Assistant), Bill Camp (Birdman, The Night Of), and Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave, The Lion King, Primal Fear). Prepare yourselves for a scary one folks.

Enjoy!!!

Holy macaroni folks! Emily and Preston watched The Substance and they will NEVER be the same again. This psychological horror-thriller was inspired by Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. It's equal parts absurd comedy, body-horror, and satire. Showcasing amazing performances from the cast, starring Demi Moore (Indecent Proposal, Ghost, G.I. Jane), Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, The Nice Guys, Fosse/Verdon) and Dennis Quaid (Inner Space, Frequency, Enemy Mine). This film was written/directed by the French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat (Revenge, The Sandman). Such a trippy film. And Demi Moore has still got it! Which makes us wanna stand up at the Oscars and shout... "G.I. Jane 2... CAN'T WAIT!!"

Enjoy!!

Holy macaroni folks! This movie was an absolute wild ride. So many cool things to explore with this psychological horror thriller, such as: Speak Up! Set Boundaries! It's okay to be rude sometimes. Put your safety first. And just... maybe don't talk to Strangers!!! This film is remake of a Danish film of the same title. Written/Directed by James Watkins (The Take, Eden Lake, The Woman in Black) and starring James McAvoy (Split, The Last King of Scotland. X-Men: First Class, Atonement), Mackenzie Davis (Black Mirror, Terminator: Dark Fate, Blade Runner 2049), and Scoot McNairy (12 Years a Slave, Narcos: Mexico, True Detective).

Ash is back baby! We're talking waaaaayyyy back. All the way back to 1300s Medieval England. And he's kicking some Deadite butt. And it's just... GROOVY. Armed with a chainsaw, strong jawline, action-hero one-liners, and his trust Oldsmobile, he's on a mission to get back home. But first, he has to get his hands (or hand?) on the Necronomicon. Listen in as Emily watches the third installment in the original Evil Dead trilogy, brought to us by Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, The Evil Dead, Darkman). Starring Bruce Campbell (Burn Notice, Maniac Cop, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.) and Embeth Davidtz (Matilda, Bicentennial Man, Fallen).
