This week, we’re tackling a thrilling lineup of films that blur the lines between reality and the surreal. First, we dive into I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016), a chilling mix of coming-of-age drama and supernatural horror, where a troubled teen confronts a monstrous force in his small town—and within himself.

Next, it’s off to Waxwork (1988), a campy 80s horror gem that unleashes chaos when a group of friends stumbles into a mysterious wax museum. Expect gore, laughs, and a parade of iconic monsters brought to life.

We’ll then navigate the paranoia-soaked dystopia of A Scanner Darkly (2006), Richard Linklater’s rotoscope-rendered adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s novel. With its mind-bending visuals and themes of identity, surveillance, and addiction, it’s a cerebral journey into fractured realities.

Finally, we plunge into the meta-horror madness of In the Mouth of Madness (1994). John Carpenter’s Lovecraftian nightmare follows an investigator whose search for a missing author leads him to a town where fiction and reality collide in terrifying ways.

Join us as we unravel the threads of horror, sci-fi, and existential dread in these four wildly different yet thematically connected films. Monsters, madness, and mystery await!

In this episode, we dive into Quentin Tarantino's audacious reimagining of World War II: Inglourious Basterds (2009). From its tense opening scene to its explosive finale, this genre-bending masterpiece is packed with unforgettable characters, razor-sharp dialogue, and Tarantino’s signature flair for turning history on its head.

We’ll discuss the standout performances—from Christoph Waltz’s chilling portrayal of Colonel Hans Landa to Mélanie Laurent’s vengeful Shosanna—and explore the film’s themes of vengeance, storytelling, and the power of cinema itself. How does Tarantino use film as both a weapon and a means of catharsis? And what makes this alternate history so deeply satisfying?

Grab some strudel, pour yourself a glass of milk, and join us for a deep dive into one of Tarantino’s boldest and bloodiest works. It’s a podcast episode as thrilling as a rendezvous in the Parisian underground!

This week, we’re exploring two powerful stories where passion drives people to extraordinary—and sometimes dark—places. First, we’ll take a slice out of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Tim Burton’s gothic musical about vengeance, love, and the fine art of pies. From the haunting melodies to the chilling performances, we’ll delve into what makes this bloody tale such a macabre masterpiece.

Then, we shift to the deeply emotional documentary Sound and Fury (2000), which examines the complexities of Deaf culture and the heated debates surrounding cochlear implants. Through this intimate exploration of a family’s struggle, we’ll discuss how communication, identity, and the desire to be understood can spark profound conflict and growth.

Join us as we unpack the raw emotion, artistry, and humanity in these very different—but equally compelling—films. It’s a mix of music, mayhem, and moving insights you won’t want to miss!

In this episode, we’re celebrating the art of passion and the beauty of quirks with two beloved cult classics. First, we explore American Movie (1999), the unforgettable documentary chronicling Mark Borchardt’s relentless (and hilariously chaotic) quest to complete his low-budget horror film. We’ll discuss the heart, humor, and sheer determination behind this tale of Midwestern filmmaking dreams.

Then, we shift gears to the comedic genius of Christopher Guest’s Best in Show (2000). This mockumentary brings us into the wonderfully eccentric world of competitive dog shows, with an ensemble cast of characters so lovable and bizarre, they feel like real-life counterparts to Borchardt’s small-town crew.

Join us as we dive into the themes of ambition, community, and the fine line between absurdity and authenticity. Whether you’re a cinephile, a comedy lover, or someone chasing your own big dream, this double feature is sure to resonate!

In this week’s episode, we're diving into the world of 80s sci-fi horror with a double feature that’s as trippy as it is terrifying! First up, Brain Damage (1988) — Frank Henenlotter's cult classic that’s equal parts dark comedy and grotesque body horror. We’ll dissect how the film uses horror to explore addiction and the dangers of desire, all while following the bizarre journey of Brian and his parasitic friend, Aylmer, as they paint the town blue.

Then, we’re blasting off to deep space for Forbidden World (1982), Roger Corman's sci-fi splatter-fest. This one has all the hallmarks of an 80s B-movie: slimy aliens, bioengineering gone wrong, and a scrappy space crew fighting to stay alive. We’ll break down the low-budget effects, cheesy dialogue, and the surprisingly effective horror elements that make Forbidden World an unforgettable gem in the sci-fi horror genre.

So grab your headphones and get ready for a wild ride through addiction, aliens, and everything weird in between!
