Hello friends and familiars! We're back with some of that cherry-picked trash. Dalton loves discourse. So, we picked a focal point of discourse from 2020, Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman. Is it a femme Joker? Is it a superhero movie? Is it a high-heeled noir in disguise? We talk genre, vengeance, discourse, and much, much more as we bring Promising Young Woman to the analysis table.

Hello dear friends, due to a production issue—there is no new episode this week. Instead, to finish out Shocktober the 13th: Taped Terrors, we rewind back to Shocktober 7 and our discussion of Oren Peli's blockbuster found footage hit Paranormal Activity from episode 287.
"Dustin decided ghosts and found footage was the way to go for the second entry in our 7th annual Shocktober marathon. We quickly discuss whether we like the film or not, and then break into our game. This week's game is a discussion of our favorite cinematic demons. Finally, we get down to business to break open Paranormal Activity. Topics of found footage, film mythos, masculinity and more come up as we discuss Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity."
