Watchlist Shopping

We scope out each other’s Letterboxd watchlists and assign films we feel warrant discussion immediately, pitch an absurdist family dramedy starring Youn Yuh-jung (who won an Oscar shortly after this recording!), and break down our recent streaming explorations.

Wild Rides

We wrap up the year by sharing some cinematic “wild rides" - from the interspecies romance of Max Mon Amour to obsession and stan-nabalism (?) in Der Fan. We pitch a femme-centric motorcycle movie starring Da’Vine Joy Randolph and chat about the highs and lows of what we’ve watched this winter.

Storybored Spooktacular

We catch up on what we’ve watched since our last episode and chat about our recent deep cut horror finds and favorite spooky subgenres. We reappraise the often shunned world of horror sequels, discover an unlikely H.R. Giger music video collaboration, and establish that Brits should never displace a henge. 

Disco Magician

It’s our fashion and style episode! While we discuss which films “give good still,” we weigh in on botanical thrillers, disco magicians, and how young Jean Reno is an out-and-out snack. We pitch the fashion horror movie of our dreams and puzzle over the one Schrader film that still has us scratching our heads.
