In honor of Motherâs Day, weâre joined by horror author Emma E. Murray to take a look at the Unwatchable side of motherhood. Todayâs films arenât afraid to put both small children and pregnant women in peril; they include possibly the single bloodiest film of the New French Extremity horror wave, as well as a truly demented (and underseen) Hitchcock riff. They are the 2007 French slasher film INSIDE, and Zack Parkerâs shocking 2013 psychodrama PROXY.

Today we’re going back to 1928 for what might be the most harrowing film of the silent era. Carl Theodor Dreyer’s intense, claustrophobic THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC was like nothing at the time and arguably still isn’t; we’ll talk about the film’s controversial history, what makes it so radical, and whether it might be too much for some viewers.

Unwatchables welcomes Erik Davis, managing editor of Fandango.com, to discuss possibly the most heart-wrenching film weâve yet covered. Erik wrote the first review of 2008âs true crime doc DEAR ZACHARY: A LETTER TO A SON ABOUT HIS FATHER after its Slamdance premiere, and anyone whoâs seen it knows itâs not the kind of movie you ever forget. We discuss what makes it so uniquely devastating, how it holds up after all these years, and whether the way it handles its big âsecretâ is shamelessly exploitative.

Today we welcome back Jetta Weinstein, aka Letterboxd's theironcupcake, to discuss the film that scarred a generation of HOME ALONE fans. Macaulay Culkin was at the height of his child stardom when his father/manager signed him on for HOME ALONE 2 under one condition⊠that his next role be the murderous child sociopath in 1993âs R-rated thriller THE GOOD SON. Weâll talk about who this movie was possibly made for, whether it was actually responsible for the end of Culkinâs career, and if it has THE most insane ending weâve ever seen.You can find more from Jetta at https://letterboxd.com/theironcupcake/

Todayâs film is so controversial itâs never actually been released. In 2017, comedian Louis CK wrote, directed, and starred in I LOVE YOU, DADDY, which was pulled just a week before release after a New York Times article detailed his sexual misconduct; as if that timing wasnât bad enough, the film itself concerns a director known for his sexual indiscretions with minors. We talk about how it fits into the #MeToo movement, whether CK had a future as a director, and if the movie really is as cursed as it sounds.

Todayâs Unwatchables looks back at a stretch of the 2000âs when seemingly every grimy horror classic was getting a slick, ultra-gory remake. Author and podcaster Mallory Smart joins us to discuss contemporary updates of two of the most iconic and disturbing guerilla horror films of the 70âs, and whether they might actually be *more* sadistic than the originals. They are Marcus Nispelâs glossy 2003 THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and Alejandre Ajaâs brutal 2006 THE HILLS HAVE EYES.

Todayâs Unwatchables is all about the loquacious, shockingly brutal modern exploitation films of S. Craig Zahler. Special guest Matt Belenky helps us discuss Zahlerâs artful approach to extreme violence, the controversy around his perceived politics, and whether his films are actually as regressive as their inspirations. On deck are 2015âs grisly horror Western BONE TOMAHAWK, and 2017âs face-smashing prison flick BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99.

Unwatchables kicks off Season 3 with one of the most notorious outsider cult films of the 2000âs. With help from video essayist Jacob Sleezer, we dissect the surreal provocations of filmmaker Damon Packard, starting with his epic, vomit-drenched, copyright-infringing magnum opus, 2002âs REFLECTIONS OF EVIL. Topics include Packard blowing his inheritance, whether he might actually be unwell, and his years-in-the-making sci-fi whatsit FOXFUR.

For the Unwatchables Season 2 finale, weâre tackling the highest-grossingâ and we do mean grossâ documentary series of all time. In this special âProducerâs Pickâ episode, our producer Tony Scarpitti helps us discuss the JACKASS phenomenon, how the films evolved over the years, and which parts we found too painful to endure. In the end, we rank all four theatrically-released films⊠a stunt that should not be performed at home.

Film critic Mike DâAngelo returns to Unwatchables with our most unexpected guest pick yet: Bobcat Goldthwaitâs 2006 dark comedy SLEEPING DOGS LIE. We discuss what makes it so queasy yet unexpectedly moving, how Mikeâs opinion has shifted over the years, and whether this is the first rom-com to pivot on an act of bestiality. ALSO: Stay tuned after the discussion for our first Unwatchables guest questionnaire, including Mikeâs most unpopular opinion and most Unwatchable film.

Today’s guest is Robert Daniels, associate editor of http://RogerEbert.com, to help us discuss a controversial fugitive drama that takes a provocative look at police violence against Black Americans. 2019’s QUEEN & SLIM is the feature debut of Melina Matsoukas— director of the iconic music video for Beyonce’s “Formation”— and stars Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya. So why has it become potentially overlooked? We discuss how it holds up today, Snoop Dog’s hostile reaction at the screening Robert attended, and the online discourse over its ending.

Who better to join our Halloween special than film critic Katie Rife, aficionado of all things horror? She proves her strong stomach by exposing us to two of the most harrowing serial killer films ever made, starting with 1986âs hugely influential HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER. We discuss its revolutionary approach to depicting violence, how it comments on the true crime genre, and one of its most repulsive descendants: Fatih Akinâs 2019 stomach-churner THE GOLDEN GLOVE.

Weâve already tackled two films from KIDSâ Larry Clark on our previous âKids Arenât All Rightâ episodeâ whoâd have thought he had more unwatchable in him? Today weâre joined by B.R. Yeager, author of the acclaimed horror novel NEGATIVE SPACE, for further evidence that the kids still arenât, in fact, all right. Both of these films show the dark side of coming of age in all its potential trauma and violence, though only one offers any glimmer of hope: Clarkâs 2001 true crime story BULLY, and Gregg Arakiâs 2004 sex abuse drama MYSTERIOUS SKIN.

Todayâs films take us deep into the subjective sensory experience of extreme mental illness, including at least one character with paranoid schizophrenia. Chicago film critic Isaac Feldberg (of http://RogerEbert.com, Paste Magazine, and more) joins us to discuss the very differentâ but equally harrowingâ approaches of two superficially similar films, both by writer/director Lodge Kerrigan: his auspicious, disturbing 1993 debut CLEAN, SHAVEN, and its 2004 spiritual remake KEANE.

Today weâre joined by Bob McCully from the film podcast Split Your Head to discuss two of the first films to violently tear up the notion that puppets are just for kids. Back when puppetry was mostly the domain of childrenâs entertainment, these movies brought enough graphic sex, drugs, and violence to traumatize any child unlucky enough to stumble upon them: Peter Jacksonâs 1989 ultra-dark comedy MEET THE FEEBLES, and Gerard Damianoâs 1976 pornographic musical LET MY PUPPETS COME.You can follow Bob on Letterboxd at https://letterboxd.com/bobmccully/ and check out his podcast, Split Your Head, at https://www.youtube.com/@splityourheadpodcast

Today weâre tackling two controversial landmarks in gay cinema with help from Guy Lodge, film columnist for The Observer and chief UK film critic for Variety. Both films were scandalous for the early 1980âs, pushing boundaries with their unflinching depictions of the lives of gay men just before the AIDS crisis. First up is 1982âs QUERELLE, the final and most provocative film from legendary German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder; followed by 1980âs even more daring (and graphic) cult classic TAXI ZUM KLO (aka TAXI TO THE TOILET).

This weekâs Unwatchables is a double feature of âNYC cop movie sleazecoreââ a term coined by guest Jason Bailey, film critic, author, and host of the popular film podcast A Very Good Year. Both of these films were mired in controversy for their explicit content; both are by directed by legendary, and legendarily cranky, auteurs; and both star iconic New York actors navigating the cityâs seedy underbelly. The films are William Friedkinâs (R.I.P) 1980 undercover crime thriller CRUISING, and Abel Ferraraâs 1992 morality play BAD LIEUTENANT.

Today weâre joined by Bilge Ebiri, one of the countryâs leading film critics for Vulture and New York Magazine, to tackle Peter Greenawayâs most disturbing film. The British director may be best known for his 1989 arthouse classic THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE & HER LOVER, but he made several other singular, controversial, and often shocking films in the 80âs and 90âs. Perhaps the most shocking of all is 1993âs THE BABY OF MĂCON, which distributors found so disturbing that it wasnât seen for years in the U.S. and has still never had an official North American release. Now that it can finally be streamed, we see what all the fuss is about and if thereâs any saving this baby from the bathwater.

Todayâs guest is Christopher Norris aka Steak Mtn, the visual artist behind album art for bands like Against Me!, the frontman of Combatwoundedveteran, and now the author of the new book THE HOLY DAY. Heâs here to help us figure out what happened to Lindsay Lohan, former teen idol from films like FREAKY FRIDAY and MEAN GIRLS, who seemed on her way to working with legendary directors like Robert Altman. Instead her career took some strange turns before fizzling out, and weâre talking two of the most Unwatchable examples: 2007âs horror fiasco I KNOW WHO KILLED ME, and Paul Schraderâs 2013 âerotic thrillerâ THE CANYONS.
