Grab Jonesy the cat and prep the explosives because we're celebrating the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott's Alien (1979).
This film is all about reproduction and gender (roles) from Sigourney Weaver's iconic performance as Ripley to the male rape of Kane to the evolving form of the Alien.
It's also an incredible technical feat, a take-down of capitalism, and a reason why you should never trust Ian Holm when he's dissecting.

After plenty of requests for coverage, we're finally caught up on AMC's Interview with the Vampire S01. Spoiler alert: we both strongly recommend this.
Qualms about Sam Reid's accent aside, this show has everything: hot sex, unabashed queerness, race and class critiques, and Bailey Bass is as Claudia.
Plus: thirsting after Jacob Anderson, vibing with Eric Bogosian's interviewer, and anticipating Ben Daniels in S02

Smash all the lights and strike a match because we're talking about disability horror, Audrey Hepburn and Wait Until Dark (1967).
Joining us for the conversation is disability documentary filmmaker Ariel Baska, who has a love/hate relationship with the film and its contribution to "cripping up."
Plus: that famous jump scare, accusations of misogyny and ableism, the gross history of "Ugly Laws," and the return of Trace's recurring j...

In Chucky's penultimate season 3 episode, everyone is up to speed on all things Chucky, but it's time to check in with the man himself: Charles Lee Ray (the ghost version)! Things are looking pretty dire for everyone as we head into the finale, but we have thoughts!
Plus: catching up with Tiffany, ghost presidents, one very bloody elevator and a séance to end all séances.

Lube up your industry standard bio-port because we're playing David Cronenberg's eXistenZ (1999) with someone friendly: Vannah Taylor!
David Cronenberg's meditation on the dangers of gaming and simulation is the middle entry of an unofficial trilogy. It's also a film that gets real confusing, real fast, so good luck figuring out if we're still in the game!
Plus: criticisms of a "bland" game world, praise for Jennifer Jason Leigh, C...

Chucky returns for Part 2 of S03 and while we're unsure what the title "Death Becomes Her" refers to, we like this as a reintroduction.
There's a bit of Tilly, some cherry popping and some eye gouging.
Plus: is First Lady Charlotte gonna fuck Pryce? Will Henry team up with Caroline? And will Devon or Grant make it to S04?
