Get ready to beg for our juice because we are FINALLY discussing Frank Henenlotter's Brain Damage (1988).

After years of requests, we're ready to tackle Aylmer, the film's gay and/or drug allegory, and why Barbara should have just fucked the brother.

Plus: incest, bathhouse towels, sub/dom, and who could direct a remake of this exploitation classic?

Grab your belts and hop on the roof of that car because we're discussing our very first Quentin Tarantino film in 2007's pseudo-slasher/exploitation film Death Proof. Join us as we conclude the Grindhouse double feature that we started last year with Planet Terror.

From the debates about the film's feminist messaging to Tarantino's own disillusionment with the film, we have a lot to say! Plus: dialogue, dialogue and more dialogue, discussing the rest of the fake trailers, why Arlene/Butterfly (Vanessa Ferlito) is Joe's favorite character and one Hell of a final shot.

We're #manifesting a happy New Year's with our best influencer friend courtesy of Sophia Takal and Adam Gaines' "New Year, New You" (2018).

The all-female entry of Into The Dark is all about toxic (female) friendships and anticipates a ton of 2022 "Influencer" horror titles, particularly Sissy. 

Plus: praise for Carly Chaikin, questions about Suki Waterhouse's career, debates about social media advertising and complaints of "wokeness", and sly commentary (maybe?) by Takal and Gaines about the importance of Black, queer and fat people in white women's stories.
