Join Becky & Merie in this podcast episode, where they do not hold back on their scathing review of the god-awful horror show of a horror “movie” Malignant. They do, however, use said “movie” as a springboard for discussing crime as it relates to various & sundry twins and identities, parasitic or otherwise...so, there’s that. Along the way, believe it or not, your hosts also address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:
How come abandoned mental asylums are accessible only at night and during a rainstorm? Just how little did Becky pay attention to the “plot” of this episode’s spotlight movie? (Hint: verrrry little. Hey, YOU try watching it! No, wait, don’t.) Who is the poor man’s Bryce Dallas Howard and is that a…compliment? Just how inaccurate can your two pod-coasts be when talking about gender identity and dysmorphia? (And will you please forgive them…they’re trying!?) Would YOU watch a movie about Jim Henson’s nightmare twin muppets? Are space aliens responsible for a group of terrible crimes in a French resort town?
Come for Merie’s explanation of how twins are formed. Stay for Becky’s threat of horror-jazz ASMR.
Also, have YOU seen those abs?! (Us, either. Show us!)
