Ep. 8: mother! (2017) with Michele Eggen Apr 24, 2026

Show notes

What better way to celebrate Earth Day week than to discuss Darren Aronofsky's environmental apocalypse nightmare allegory Mother!. We are very happy to welcome our guest Michele Eggen of the Movies for Life Podcast (found in Season 1 of this feed) to discuss one of her favorite comfort movies--yes, really. We try to wade our way through some Kabbalah, Gnosticism, and mythology (oh my!) to try to get at the meaning of all that symbolism. So, if you ever wondered what Mother! is all about, we think we have some pretty good ideas while acknowledging that there are so many more possibilities than we had time for. Join us for a rousing, deep, but also very fun discussion of this giant stressball of a movie.

Article discussed in the Episode: The Heretical Gnosticism of Darren Aronofsky's Most Daring Film

The Confessional--April 17, 2026 Apr 17, 2026

Show notes

We head back into the booth to talk about some movies we've watched lately. As usual it's an eclectic mix including some 70s and 80s comedies, Asian genre classics, Vinegar Syndrome curiosities, and a look at the recent releases The Drama and Faces of Death. To top it all off, we're both sick as hell and hopped up on goofballs, so a good time will be had by all.

Ep. 7: God Told Me To (1976) Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

We head back to the 70s to talk Larry Cohen's God Told Me To. We talk about Cohen's guerilla filmmaking style, Andy Kaufman, and Orange Glowing Jesus. And oh yeah....aliens. We hope we didn't offend any Whitley Streiber stans.

Show notes

He's Back! The Man Behind the Mask

and we're celebrating our favorite Friday the 13th movie on this second Friday the 13th of 2026. Is there tapdancing and thread pulling involved in making this movie fit our format? Sure there is, but we find some surprising topics to discuss. This episode also features a special Friday the 13th Edition of The Confessional in which Brian and Pat throw down all the hot takes, discuss favorite kills, favorite final girls, favorite Jasons, and give their official Friday the 13th rankings. We've got the whole (damn) enchilada.

Here comes the bride!

With Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut just around the corner, we decided that now would be the perfect time to cover The Bride of Frankenstein, a film that continues to impress and evolve more than 90 years after its release.
