We cover it from the vampires to grave, and hope to bring you along.

This week we rewatched The Cell with Jennifer Lopez and Vincent D'Onofrio. We talk about surrealism, tik tok, and the cultivation of raven familiars. But mostly, we talk about Vincent D'Onofrio's absolute chokehold over the vulnerable monster market. Join as we voluntarily enter The Cell.

You thought your Air BnB experience was a nightmare. And we're never the type to victim blame but I assure you, if we showed up to a rental and Pennywise answered the door, we'd sleep on the street before agreeing to share the place but that's not what our heroine did and that's not how any horror movie gets going, with a series of good decisions. We watched Barbarian and you should too. It's a great, creative, beautifully shot film that any mother could love.

We ran up that hill to make a deal with God and we got him to swap our places. We watched Stranger Things and we learned some strange things about ourselves. Our love of Kate Bush was confirmed. Always trust a chaotic good metal head, an ingenious stoner, and a girl who knows to saw off a shot gun. What song would bring us out of Vecna's embrace and would we want to leave it? Join us on our strange journey, if you only could.

We watched THE Batman, and if you don't know which one, then you don't know your Batmans. While other podcasts may have a deep feel for the comics, know a lot about the movie history, we are just your out of touch weird aunts who saw the batman and had serious concerns about the hair choices.

Keeping our fingers firmly on the pulse, knowing awards season is just around the corner, we watched The Labyrinth! From 1986? The Jim Henson film? Yes, the very same. Have you seen it before? Hundreds of times and yet, we watched it again for the sheer joy of it. We talk about the origin story, the making of, helpful facts of course but also, wildly unbelievable fan theories. Could you say we weave through a Labyrinth of our own design? Almost, but no one would.

This week we watched the movie, "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." Having both watched the documentary, there was not much to learn, but the performances were fantastic. We talk about crafting yourself as a commodity in America and the downside when you don't deliver on your own product.

For the first movie of the year, we treated ourselves to a pricy rental. "Last Night in Soho," is the latest from Edgar Wright and is a beautifully styled, throwback thriller. It's not just the aesthetics that seem vintage, but it borrows from classic psychological thrillers visually and thematically. It answers the question, how difficult is it for a psychic to live in a city with a brutal history? Very difficult. Join us as we take our own trip through Soho and as Ruth weighs the options of Last Night in Soho to One Night in Bangkok.
