Daddyyyyyy! Mommyyyyy! It’s time to let us in so we can talk Osgood Perkins' highly-anticipated nightmare, Longlegs. Get ready for our take on the film's masterfully cryptic marketing, mysterious characters, and the fine line between laughter and screams that Nicolas Cage brings out in his bone-chilling performance as the film’s titular character. From its terrifying trailers to the palpable dread that grips audiences from the very first frames, what do you think? Does Longlegs stand tall among this year's horror offerings?

Maxine Minx is here and she's taking over more than just the Universal Backlot! In our latest episode, we're diving into Ti West's highly anticipated grand finale to his trilogy, Maxxxine. We know what you're thinking - how is this going to measure up against X and Pearl? We're stabbing into that very topic and bleeding into the campy 80s aesthetic, meta-commentary, and the effectiveness of blending reality with fiction in film. Seeking fame amidst the Satanic Panic may not have been the best idea, but what do you think? Will you accept a life you do not deserve?

Carmela calls it "non-stop thrills." Josh insists it's earned a spot in his Letterboxd Top 4. Looney Tunes is hyperventilating and Charlie Chaplin is shaking. What could I be talking about? Obviously none other than this week's pick: Hundreds of Beavers. Crafted with a shoestring $150k budget and entirely self-distributed, it’s not difficult to see why this film is an instant cult classic. Join us as we camp out in the black-and-white wilderness and explore the evolution of modern comedy, creativity in the face of limitation, and the impact of streaming on the b-movie. Do you think you’re ready for a horde of cinematic beavers?

Babe, wake up, it’s an A24 week! With an absolutely stacked soundtrack, crises of identity, and surrealist nightmare fuel that feels like it was ripped straight out of the 90s, director Jane Schoenbrun held nothing back with her sophomore feature, I Saw the TV Glow. The Pink Opaque is the perfect canvas for us to get into self-discovery, the media we latched onto as kids, and the line between nostalgia and getting stuck in the past. This one seems to be a little divisive, so let us know what you think!
