Topic: "A whole lot of mommy issues."

Hey everyone! We’re back this week, airing out our mommy issues with our Recent Review of Ari Aster's Beau is Afraid and Geriatric Cinematic of Psycho (1960). Both of these circle around the most critical person in our lives, and both showcase how people are affected when that relationship is toxic.

For our Obscene and Obscure, we kept the mommy issue theme alive with Dead Alive (1992), also known as Braindead, which we’re sure some moms have called their kids over the years.

Next week, our Recent Review will be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, in theaters Friday, May 5th, and our Geriatric Cinematic will be 1994’s Stargate streaming on Roku, Pluto, and YouTube with ads. So we hope to see you then, through time and space.
