In this episode, we step away from our focus on the past to look at a recent new release on Shudder. So join us as we check out Elric Kane's The Dead Thing from 2024. Dustin sings praise for the film and its execution in tackling its central theme. Jason grounds the discussion with some pointed questions regarding the progression of the film's narrative. But before all that, Dustin shares the first half of his recent epic re-watch of the entire Alien and Predator franchises and Jason reveals his recent temptation to collect film on Super 8.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
