Pack your taxidermy kit and catch the night train because we are discussing writer/director Gregory J. Read's Like Minds (2006).

The film explores the Gestalt relationship that develops between two boys, Nigel and Alex (Tom Sturridge and Eddie Redmayne - in his feature debut) at a boarding school, as well as a series of murders that forensic psychologist Toni Collette (and her bangs) is investigating in the present.

It's a wild ride, filled with way more bizarre shit than expected. Expect plenty of debate about what exactly is going on here! Big thanks to listener Rachel for bringing this odd little Aussie/UK co-production to our attention!

Prep your photo wall and cancel the room service because we're talking Mark Romanek's One Hour Photo (2002). C/W: Childhood sexual abuse

Starring Robin Williams, this combination character study/thriller finds the comedian playing against type as an awkward photo technician who fantasizes about the perfect life of one particular family.

Plus: Detective Photographer; 2000s hairdos; early influencer horror; and plenty of debate about when and how the "twist" is used (with comparisons to other texts like Psycho and Mysterious Skin)

CORRECTION: We mistakenly state that Nine Inch Nails covered Johnny Cash's "Hurt", when it's very much the other way around. Oops!

Prepare for a colossal culling and try to stay ahead of the wind because we're discussing M. Night Shyamalan's much-maligned film The Happening (2008) in celebration of Earth Day! Tagging in for the conversation is Pajiba senior critic Lindsay Traves.

Join us as we offer up not a defense of the film, but rather a desire to see a paradigm shift in the way people view it (meaning: we want you to dislike it for the "right" reasons). This is Shyamalan's self-proclaimed "best B-movie you’ve ever seen" and, as uneven as it is, the comedy is all intentional! Or most of it is, anyway...

Plus: math vs. statistics, declaring Shyamalan the king of the nonsense newscast, so many comparisons to Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds and debating whether or not Zooey Deschanel's character is stealthily trying to kill that little girl for the whole movie.

Don't open that sarcophagus and prepare the fainting couch because we're discussing Karl Freund's The Mummy (1932).

Continuing the tradition of Universal Monster films, this Boris Karloff chiller is short and sweet, but we think it has one of the best female characters in Zita Johann's Helen/Princess Anck-es-en-Amon.

Plus: hating on David Manners' Frank; comparisons to Stephen Sommers and Tom Cruise's remakes; Karloff's painful (but great) make-up effects; and a queer reading about hiding who you are to pass in society.

Pack your box lunch and hand us a piece of that possum over there because we're talking James Gunn's hilariously goopy directorial debut Slither (2006) for its 20th(!!!) anniversary!

Join us as we lament the box office bomb status of this clever little creature feature (you better believe we were both in the theater back in 2006, though!) and laud the impressive practical effects on display.

Plus: marveling at the Brenda blob, gagging (literally) at the Society-esque Grant Grant blob, laughing at squid stickers and learning all about cooters.
