Monitor your blood sugar and watch the motion sensor lasers because we're diving into David Fincher's Panic Room (2002), along with Queerty's Cameron Scheetz.

We think this David Fincher "popcorn" flick doesn't get enough respect, particularly for queer leads Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart.

Plus: a scary Dwight Yoakam, Leto's <gulp> cornrows, slow motion set pieces, and the film's troubled production history which includes...Nicole Kidman?!

We'll just die if we don't get this recipe, which means we're discussing Bryan Forbes' divisive 1975 chiller The Stepford Wives, itself an adaptation of Ira Levin's 1972 novel(la) of the same name!

Join us as we go all in on the male-directed and male-written film that satirizes, well, men. From the Playboy Bunny origins of the Stepford wives to conflicting thoughts on Walter, there's a lot to discuss!

Plus: praise for Bobbie (Paula Prentiss), a lesson in female fashion and Raymond Chandler for Trace, thinking about Stepford dogs, and wondering if Easy-On Spray Starch really does save you half an hour a day (at least!).

Prepare to shriek because we're talking about Philip Kaufman's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) for week 3 of 'Doppelgänger and Deception' month.

There's a lot to unpack in this technical masterpiece, including the vital early character work, the amazing practical effects, and that fatalistic ending.

Plus: directing bukkake, debating Leonard Nimoy's Kibner, the "Me Decade" of the 70s, one of cinema's most devastating deaths, and comparison to the other Body Snatcher remakes.

Eat that second gummy and make sure your dick isn't too small for his butt because we're discussing Craig Johnson's comedy horror film The Parenting, which sports one hell of an ensemble cast.

Join us as we address the "sketchiness" of the film before fully submitting to its charms. From surprise comedian Brandon Flynn to Brian Cox's hilariously homophobic rants to Parker Posey's spacey AirBnb host, there's no shortage of laughs in this delightful little movie.

Finish that whole steak on your fork and keep an eye on that Top 50 list because we're continuing our theme month of doubles and doppelgängers in Daniel Goldhaber's 2018 gem Cam! Tagging in for the conversation is horror author Ariel Powers-Schaub.

Join us as we praise Madeline Brewer's fearless lead performance, as well as the exceptionally authentic screenplay written by Isa Mazzei, who drew upon her own experiences as a sex worker when writing the film.

Plus: clit-destroying Vibatrons, emphasizing the "work" part of sex work and a very insightful lesson on tulpas from our guest.

Break in your ballet shoes and for God's sake, let this girl climax (!) because we are talking about Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan.

From Natalie Portman's Oscar winning performance to this stacked cast to its immersive handheld camera, Black Swan is a big fave, even if Nina's passivity can be frustrating to watch.

Plus: debate about Thomas' sexual assault, lauding Ryder's profane Beth, sheet cake meltdowns, the desire for perfection, and exquisite mirror work.
