Aug 19 2024 54 mins

Daddyyyyyy! Mommyyyyy! It’s time to let us in so we can talk Osgood Perkins' highly-anticipated nightmare, Longlegs. Get ready for our take on the film's masterfully cryptic marketing, mysterious characters, and the fine line between laughter and screams that Nicolas Cage brings out in his bone-chilling performance as the film’s titular character.

Maxine Minx is here and she's taking over more than just the Universal Backlot! In our latest episode, we're diving into Ti West's highly anticipated grand finale to his trilogy, Maxxxine.

Jul 05 2024 51 mins

Carmela calls it "non-stop thrills." Josh insists it's earned a spot in his Letterboxd Top 4. Looney Tunes is hyperventilating and Charlie Chaplin is shaking. What could I be talking about? Obviously none other than this week's pick: Hundreds of Beavers. Crafted with a shoestring $150k budget and entirely self-distributed, it’s not difficult to see why this film

Jun 11 2024 69 mins

Babe, wake up, it’s an A24 week! With an absolutely stacked soundtrack, crises of identity, and surrealist nightmare fuel that feels like it was ripped straight out of the 90s, director Jane Schoenbrun held nothing back with her sophomore feature, I Saw the TV Glow. The Pink Opaque is the perfect canvas for us to get into self-discovery, the media we latched onto as kids, and the

Ep 188: Problemista; I Stand with Bank of America

Apr 25 2024 54 mins

Though it may have been overshadowed by giant sandworms at the box office, Julio Torres did not hold back with his directorial debut, Problemista. In typical A24 fashion, the imagery is quirky and surreal, the characters are complex, and the sense of childlike wonder is unmistakable. Join us as we talk navigating the mazes of parental pressures, soul-crushing customer service inter

Ep 187: Dune: Part Two; Pesky Paul and the Reverse Hero’s Journey

The spice must flow! Dune: Part Two has arrived, and it's a cinematic sandstorm.

Mar 06 2024 38 mins

This week, we’re exploring one of the latest A24 films to hit the big screen, The Zone of Interest.

Join the conversation as we discuss how it feels to be in a home with the commandant of Auschwitz, Glazer’s unconvent

Ep 185: May December; Straight From the Headlines

Feb 20 2024 51 mins

It can be difficult to discuss a film with such volatile subject matter, but May December was so thought-provoking that we knew we wanted to talk about it. Rather than retell the story that inspired the movie, May December examines the aftermath of a “scandal” (read: felony) and encourages us to approach the situation in front of us with empathy. Listen along as Carmela and Jos

To make sure we get off on the right foot, we close out with reflecting on
