Do not take your phone off Airplane mode because we're heading to Paris to discuss Olivier Assayas' Personal Shopper (2016). Helping us sift through this fascinating, dense film is Trace's better half (and frequent returning guest) Ari Drew!
Join us as we heap all the praise on Kristen Stewart before diving into all things supernatural (and technology!), linking the film to the recent wave of liminal horror films.
Plus: Joe "raps" (yes, really), fade-outs galore, the necessity of on-screen nudity, silly conversations about gorillas and one of the scariest scenes to come out of the 2010s.

Nothing quite says Have a Bad Day like being a rookie cop, and on your 1st day, you're tasked to be the only officer to secure and monitor an out-of-commission police station. If that wasn't crappy enough, let's up the ante by making it haunted by a cult that died at the station! Anthony DiBlasi truly makes sure this is Jessica's Last Shift!

Leave a purse on the subway and stick with us like chewing gum because we're talking about Neil Jordan's May/December stalker film, Greta (2018).
Hanging out in a trunk with us is comic Rachel Scanlon, who appreciates the film's sapphic hand play and lesbian dog-adopting energy.
Plus: wishing the film would go harder, Isabelle Huppert dance memes, texting thrills, useless men, comparable films, and Maika Monroe's Erica as the best roommate/wannabe girlfriend.

Try to keep up with all the plot twists and turns because we're discussing Pedro Almodóvar's genre-defying 2011 thriller The Skin I Live In. Heed all of the content warnings on this one, folks!
Join us as we discuss our relationship with Almodóvar before parsing through this complex film with a look at the accusations of misogyny, transphobia and transmisogyny that have been lobbied against it. It's an admittedly heavy conversation about a very challenging film (and we'd expect nothing less from Almodóvar).
Plus: unethical super skin, an actual Chekhov's Gun, book-to-film comparisons, gray moral areas and a rare instance in which we wish the film were longer!

Keep those stupendous fake tits out of the field of pot because we're talking Platinum Dunes' 2009 remake, Friday the 13th.
Joining us to tackle perfect nipple placement, underwhelming kills, and all things Willa Ford is filmmaker Amir Moini.
Up for discussion: is the remake really that bad? Are the tunnels a dealbreaker? Is *anyone* surprised that Whitney survives and Jenna dies?
Plus: praise for Aaron Yoo, the ~24 minute opener, blood and nudity in the "Final Cut," and a third swinging light death sequence!

Micro Queers: Departing Seniors (2024)

We apologize for the intelligence of our remarks, but we're delving into every gay man's worst nightmare (aging) in Albert Lewin's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). Tagging in for the conversation is writer and filmmaker Amanda Jane Stern, who turns out to be an enormous fan of the source material!
Join us as we go all in on this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's only novel, but not before discussing the tragedy that is Wilde's life. We then discuss Hollywood's "straightening" of this very queer story, and bask in the glory of what is Angela Lansbury's third film role.
Plus, one very cruel Slut Test™, four stellar Technicolor shots (seriously), a presumably enormous confetti budget, Egyptian cat magic, one extremely unnecessary narrator and an even more unnecessary Gladys.

It's time to revisit H.P. Lovecraft with a dip into horror comedy/exploitation territory and Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator (1985). C/W: sexual assault and the cat dies (again and again)
We're praising Jeffrey Combs' perfect performance, the tricky tonal balance (including the Dr. Hill/Megan assault), and the gory practical FX in this mad doctor film.
Plus: a queer reading of Herbert and Dan, multiple editions, naked fight scenes, and why the film deserves to be seen with a crowd.

Put on your best fedora and pull that cat out of the dryer because we're discussing Christian E. Christiansen's teeny-bopper ripoff of Single White Female, The Roommate (2011)! Tagging in for the conversation is one of the film's superfans: Ali Chappell.
Join us as we try (TRY) to figure out who thought this movie was a good idea, because nearly nothing in this shameless ripoff works. From it's incredibly stupid lead character to its complete lack of tension, it's a real misfire. God bless Leighton Meester, though, who at least tries to do something with a nothing role.
Ultimately, The Roommate feels more like a business decision than an artistic one, which is a bummer given the cast that its working with. But hey, we've still got a semi-decent shower scene and a semi-thrilling climactic battle so....there's that?

Q: What do you get when you cross The Lost Boys with The Craft but make it awful?
A: J.S. Cardone and Renny Harlin's The Covenant (2006), which features hot boy witches throwing globs of CGI semen at each other!
We have so much to say about this nonsense, including its overly complicated mythology and self-serious tone, villainous bisexual king Chase (played by Sebastian Stan), thankless damsels in distress, and addiction/gay allegories (paging Buffy S06).
Plus: insects vs spiders, throwing the script supervisor under the bus, and why Stephen McHattie should have had a bigger role!

Watch out for squeaky condoms and religious bigots because we're checking out Troma's German acquisition, Killer Condom (1996). Joining us for this wild ride is Josh Hurtado, who caught the film on the big screen back in the 90s!
Together we're unpacking 32 cm of cock, writer Ralf König's source material, the Mackeroni/Billy relationship, Babette's pronouns, Psycho homages, ridiculously stereotypical names, and the surprising progressiveness of this 90s film.
