Prep your canoes and don't anger the locals because we're discussing John Boorman's (in)famous 1972 thriller Deliverance and all the baggage that comes with it. Join us as we take a look at a film whose reputation precedes it, from its male rape scene to its portrayal of rural mountain folk. There's plenty to unpack here!

Join us as we discuss the Clarice of it all before heading to Italy to check in with everyone's favorite cannibal. There's no denying it: this is just a weird movie.

The Feast (2021)

Mind the glass shards and mushrooms because we're talking Lee Haven Jones' eco-horror film, The Feast (2021). It's a rare horror film in Welsh (apologies for any mispronunciations!) as well as a capital M message movie, but this one has grown on us since its festival circuit run.

Caress your Newborn and take a deep breath because we're discussing Jean-Pierre Jeunet's divisive franchise entry Alien Resurrection (1997). Join us as we attempt to offer a reappraisal of this weird little film, which certainly has its flaws but also has so much going for it. Be it Sigourney Weaver's magnetic performance as Ripley 8 (you'll hear no "not my Ripley" cries from us) or the ooey gooey practical effects, we still like this one!

Christine (1983)

Tabitha! We're talking about another Stephen King adaptation with John Carpenter's workman-like take on Christine (1983). It's "shitty teen boys, the movie" as we discuss toxic masculinity and male entitlement, Arnie and Dennis' homoeroticism, and the film's inability to name its female lead.

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!

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

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.

Cam (2018) feat. Ariel Powers-Schaub

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. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Black Swan (2010)

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. Reference: Phoenix. “Black Swan” Has Mad Chicks, Made Me Feel Crazy.” Autostraddle Questions? Comments? Snark?
