Housemate Kayleigh has broken free of prison for one very important reason: Angela Baker. We're giving a spoiler FULL review (when there's enough plot to warrant so) of the cult classic turned Pamela Springsteen fiasco that is Sleepaway Camp. We're covering the first three instalments in this iconic (?) series, and frankly that is more than enough.
cw: violent sexual assault, murder, blood and gore, transphobia, pedophilia

Billy Ayers joins the show to talk all things 'Holding On', his fervent debut record and one of Caitlin's favourite albums of 2025. From Alabama to Nashville, Billy! embraces his southern roots while leaning wholeheartedly into an at once gritty yet pristine journey through doubt, loss and letting go. We're talking cowbells, and why they make every song better, Billy's admirable vulnerability, a perfect picture ...
Pearl is murderously horny and we are here for it. Ben and Caitlin dig into the horror trilogy known as the MaXXXine films by Ti West and starring Mia Goth, unpacking all of the sex, scarecrows and influences along the way. From X's progressive lens over 70s adult film culture to Pearl's war-time pandemic fuelled isolation and MaXXXine's foray into real-life crime, we're looking at how Pearl herself has become one o...

Caitlin and Amy go track by track through the 4-time Grammy Award winning album 'Golden Hour', created by one of Country Music's most subversive and openly defiant exports. Kacey Musgraves never sacrifices her integrity and has firmly solidified herself as one of the industry's most authentic acts. Her seminal album is full of lush soundscapes, clichéd lyrics that somehow sound like poetry in her smooth-as-molasses ...
From DC to LA, Brookelen is finding herself amongst a myriad of creatives, seeking inspiration in live shows, sobriety, reflection and experimentation. A violinist turned shoegaze auteur, Brookelen weaves classical influences into her dark, dreamy and oft times heavy amalgamation of style. Unexpected and moving, Brookelen's music is a reflection of her own vulnerability and widespread influences.
Caitlin speaks with Brooke about th...
Caitlin gives a spoiler free (ish) review of her favourite TV and film watches in recent months. Six Feet Under (2001) and its best finale of all time, Parachute (2023) and Courtney Eaton's confronting performance along with Brittany Snow's remarkable directing debut, Past Lives (2023) and the innate beauty of Korean film & some whacked out shit that embodies all that is brilliant about the 80s slasher aesthetic with Lisa Frank...
Cinephile and friend Ben Cocks joins the show to discuss the Cornetto Trilogy; Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's series of films (Shaun of The Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007) & The World's End (2013)) that changed the scope of the indie film landscape and their respective careers forever.

But wait, there's more! Tune into our last segment to hear the tracks we've been loving lately.
cw: body horror, gore, nudity, sexism, misogyny and graphically graphic detail.

Caitlin speaks with Sydney's Hannah Brewer, a classically trained musician turned poetic pop girlie. Hannah talks her tour with Aurora, her new single 'Dollar Shop Souvenir' (and why it's inspired by the oedipus complex) as well as her desperate turn to meditation, and what the hell 'Rumspringa' really means.
Hannah has a powerful voice and an eloquent knack for delivering heartfelt yet humorous tracks, each...
It's another For The Record - and this time we're delving into the Canadian wilderness and Hugh Grant's creepy house to pry Sophie Thatcher into the musical limelight. You may know her for her outstanding performances in Yellowjackets, Heretic and Companion, but Sophie Thatcher is also a beguiling musician. Her debut EP 'Pivot & Scrape' is a timeless, deeply idiosyncratic journey into Sophie's aesthetic landscape; and a fascina...
Caitlin speaks with Katrina Urton and Daniel James AKA Night Party, about their debut record All That Fades. The LA / Nashville based band talk production, divine connections, being a conduit for great art and their collaboration with Hayley Williams.
Inspired by records like The Verve's Urban Hymns and the writings of Rebecca Sonlit, the pair poured their collective love into crafting a nostalgic yet refreshingly creative and ...

We do not like what is happening, but it is happening. CW for first segment references to SA and a big orange loser. In what has somehow become both the longest and most music filled episode of the show to date, Caitlin and Kayleigh explore their respective playlists and share the highs and lows of their creations. From Harry Styles to 12 RODS, Dolly Parton to Ball Park Music and Doechii to P!NK, the ride is endless.
