Episode 11: Arrebato Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

This week Drusilla and Josh talk about the criminally underseen Spanish film Arrebato by Ivan Zulueta. We talk magic and Magic Castle. The Bergman Report continues with Persona and its influence on Lynch and Altman. They also discuss Day of the Beast, playing The Sims on cocaine, Adventures in Babysitting vs Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, Days of Wine and Roses and other drunk films, Sid and Nancy, more Shaft, and then get into the feature. This movie is so hard to describe. New wave aesthetics. Josh says Almodovar wrong a million times. This is kind of a vampire movie where you're the victim for watching it. Directors who aren't from film backgrounds or the best. Dru can't see lips. Then they play Have They Seen It?

Episode 9: The Tenant Apr 11, 2022

Show notes

Boy oh boy! This is a film that Drusilla and Josh do not agree on. Josh goes on a tirade about "elevated horror" in regards to A24 and Ti West's "X". Josh saw his first Bergman film, The Seventh Seal. Drusilla watched The Girl Can't Help It for the first time. The pair discuss John Waters and taking acid at the movies. They discuss the overlap of trash movies and art movies (William Castle and Paul Verhoeven). Then they get into the feature, Roman Polanski's "The Tenant". Drusilla has a history with this movie as a sort of trans narrative. This pick was her revenge for Josh picking Takashi Miike's "Audition." Along the way they discuss Roman Polanskis' dark legacy, his apartment trilogy which includes Rosemary's Baby and Repulsion. They discuss the timeless glamor of Isabelle Adjani of Possession fame. The charm of Shelley Winters. The unfortunate tagline, "no one does it to you like Roman Polanski". Then they debate the merits and flaws of the film before getting into have They Seen It.

Show notes

Kitty, kitty, kitty! This is a rough one, and also the first movie Drusilla and Josh don't agree on. The duo discusses Takashi Miike's 1999 film, Audition.

Episode 6: Don't Look Now (w/guest Christian Tucci) Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

Today's guest is artist and writer, Christian Tucci, who brought up the Nicholas Roeg masterpiece Don't Look Now. But before we get into the feature we discuss the new Apple series, Severence, a bunch of spaghetti Westerns, and the Vinegar Syndrome re-release of 1981 slasher, Just Before Dawn.
The trio discusses so much! This is a very sophisticated episode, going into the themes of water and mirrors, but they also manage to discuss the hotness of Donald Sutherland, his son Kiefer, beautiful Julie Christie, the best sex scene of all time, and how shocking the end of this. Long Island Medium comes up and the trio discusses their histories with psychics. Did you know Venice is a character in the movie?

Episode 5: Viy Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

This week Drusilla and Joshua watched the Soviet/Ukrainian horror film, Viy, which was the first and possibly only Soviet horror film. Josh watched Werewolves Within, which leads to a discussion of little dogs and the people who hate them and/or hate to see them die. Drusilla watched the criminally underrated John Ritter film, Stay Tuned, which leads into problematic Jeffrey Jones and another dog.
The pair briefly acknowledges the situation in Ukraine. Introducing the film requires a little discussion about Ukraine's place in the USSR and Gogol's history. This is a folkloric pagan horror included in Severin's folk horror boxset, All the Haunts Be Ours. It's kind of like Sondheim's Into the Woods.
The pair does a deep dive on the plot, aesthetic, and legacy with plenty of tangents along the way. Then they play Have They Seen It before signing off, but not before announcing the next movie, 1973's Don't Look Now.

Episode 4: The Hunger Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Drusilla and Josh discuss one of the chicest lesbian vampire films of all time, The Hunger. It's so chic that Drusilla wore a beret! Drusilla watched Mill of the Stone Women and Josh watched Netflix's new Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022), which was surprisingly good. The duo discusses the sequels in brief and the general pitfalls of sequels and reboots.
Then they get into the feature which stars Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon, and David Bowie. They discuss the less-than-stellar reviews from the time and how it compares to the 80s vampire films that followed. Drusilla and Josh go through the narrative, which takes them down tangents like whether or not New York has alleyways and the makeup effects. The studio ruined the ending, maybe.
Finally, Drusilla and Josh play Have They Seen It. They also announce the next feature, which is the Ukrainian horror film, Viy.
