Yakov and Josh talk with Tim Coe about David Lynch's moody, tense, reality-bending meditation on heartbreak, stardom, and the shifting faces of LA.

Episode 56: Mullholland Drive, with Tim Coe

Josh and Yakov are joined by Whitney Reynolds to chatter about the good and the ehhhh in this spooky haunted asylum riff.

Episode 55: Grave Encounters, with Whitney Reynolds

This cult classic from 1977 is all about gonzo experimentation, mixing humor and horror in dizzying but charming ways.

Episode 54: Hausu

A good cast is wasted on an incoherent mashup of several wildly different films, none of which would have been great in the first place.

Episode 53: Krampus

J and Y are at odds over whether this mid-90s horror flick was completely or merely watchably not-so-good. Josh is correct.

Episode 52: Thinner

Josh and Yakov are joined by Mark Popham for a cheery discussion of the good bits and odd stumbles of this very nice-looking piece of genre-mush moodful fun.

Episode 51: Crimson Peak

We manage to spend two hours without even really discussing the blood elevator. That's how much this classic has going on.

Episode 50: The Shining

A messy relic of the 90s, pitting unlikeable humans against an inept killbot in a post-apocalyptic future that its surprisingly hard to care about. Also a cameo by Lemmy.

Episode 49: Hardware, with Jesse Holden

Thoughtful, visually tremendous film about the burdens and decisions of a young man and young woman in Bad City.

Episode 48: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night

This 1987 Joel Schumacher film can't really decide if it's a screwball comedy or a teen coming of age story, and so does a confused job of trying to be both.

Episode 47: The Lost Boys

Wes Craven revisits the original Nightmare from a metatextual distance, casting the cast as themselves. Johnny Depp does not appear in this film.

Episode 46: Wes Craven's New Nightmare

Freddy Kreuger! Claw hand! Dying in dreams! Introducing Johnny Depp! This is not a movie for which I really need to construct a coherent critical summary. You've seen it, or you should see it.

Episode 45: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Never has a movie been more like what you'd expect to get when you see "WolfCop" on Netflix than this one. There's a cop. He's a wolf. Or vice versa. It's Canadian! And not very good.

Episode 44: WolfCop

Yakov and Josh are surprised and impressed by the subtle characterizations and lack of easy explotative outs in this meditation on sex, consent, young adulthood, and the isolation and fear that comes with betrayal. Also: a killer ghost.

Episode 43: It Follows

What a weird, wonderful oddity of a film! Chock full of folk music and surprisingly non-exploitative nudity and the occasional pagan ritual murder, the original film bears essentailly zero resemblence to Nic Cage's 2006 bee adventure.

Episode 42: The Wicker Man (1973)

Josh and Yakov love the Hellraiser franchise more than they probably should, and are watching all nine (nine!) films and tearing them to loving bits one episode at a time.
