Caress your Newborn and take a deep breath because we're discussing Jean-Pierre Jeunet's divisive franchise entry Alien Resurrection (1997). Join us as we attempt to offer a reappraisal of this weird little film, which certainly has its flaws but also has so much going for it. Be it Sigourney Weaver's magnetic performance as Ripley 8 (you'll hear no "not my Ripley" cries from us) or the ooey gooey practical effects, we still like t...

Tabitha! We're talking about another Stephen King adaptation with John Carpenter's workman-like take on Christine (1983). It's "shitty teen boys, the movie" as we discuss toxic masculinity and male entitlement, Arnie and Dennis' homoeroticism, and the film's inability to name its female lead. Plus: book to film comparisons, debate about Arnie's complicity, lamenting the thin characterizations, and a "King adaptations of the 80s" ga...

Self-mutilate this, fluid boy, because we're talking Blue Ribbons and hack jobs in David Nutter's teenybopper version of The Stepford Wives in 1998's Disturbing Behavior! Join us as we go all in on this film's extremely troubled production (seriously, it's bad!) before diving into the plot of this extended episode of The X-Files. Plus, mathematics vs. moments, peckerheads, some well-earned praise for Nick Stahl and test screening a...

Monitor your blood sugar and watch the motion sensor lasers because we're diving into David Fincher's Panic Room (2002), along with Queerty's Cameron Scheetz. We think this David Fincher "popcorn" flick doesn't get enough respect, particularly for queer leads Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart. Plus: a scary Dwight Yoakam, Leto's cornrows, slow motion set pieces, and the film's troubled production history which includes...Nico...

We'll just die if we don't get this recipe, which means we're discussing Bryan Forbes' divisive 1975 chiller The Stepford Wives, itself an adaptation of Ira Levin's 1972 novel(la) of the same name! Join us as we go all in on the male-directed and male-written film that satirizes, well, men. From the Playboy Bunny origins of the Stepford wives to conflicting thoughts on Walter, there's a lot to discuss! Plus: praise for Bobbie (Paul...

Prepare to shriek because we're talking about Philip Kaufman's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) for week 3 of 'Doppelgänger and Deception' month. There's a lot to unpack in this technical masterpiece, including the vital early character work, the amazing practical effects, and that fatalistic ending. Plus: directing bukkake, debating Leonard Nimoy's Kibner, the "Me Decade" of the 70s, one of cinema's most devastating...

Eat that second gummy and make sure your dick isn't too small for his butt because we're discussing Craig Johnson's comedy horror film The Parenting, which sports one hell of an ensemble cast. Join us as we address the "sketchiness" of the film before fully submitting to its charms. From surprise comedian Brandon Flynn to Brian Cox's hilariously homophobic rants to Parker Posey's spacey AirBnb host, there's no shortage of laughs in...

Finish that whole steak on your fork and keep an eye on that Top 50 list because we're continuing our theme month of doubles and doppelgängers in Daniel Goldhaber's 2018 gem Cam! Tagging in for the conversation is horror author Ariel Powers-Schaub.
