Jenn, Gena and Joe return to discuss the first four episodes of Kristen Bell's half serious, half parody Netflix series, The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window. Up for discussion: Bell as MVP, the show's best joke(s), messy women, comparisons to Police Academy and The Naked Gun and whether this would have been better served as a film.Wanna connect with the show?> Gena: @genadoesthings (Instagram/BlueSky)> Jenn: @jennferatu> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!

Terry and Joe close out the David Lynch side of S03 with a very unorthodox text: 1999's The Straight Story.Or maybe it just seems odd. Upon closer inspection, there are clear Lynchian elements; they're just lurking under the surface!Plus: an Oscar-nominated performance by Richard Farnsworth, hitting deer on the highway, and an out of control lawnmower action sequence.Wanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify" Hosted on Acast.

It's finally time: we've reached Joe's favourite Cronenberg film, 1996's Crash. Expect lots of gushing from Joe, but what does first time viewer Terry think of the controversial film adaptation of J.G. Ballard's novel?Plus: is this sexy, clinical or both?

After a brief venture into crime thrillers, David Cronenberg made a return to the body horror subgenre with 2022's Crimes of the Future. He brought along his current go-to actor, Viggo Mortensen, to tell the story of an aging performance artist whose partner…uses an eXistenZ style device to cut out the extra organs he grows regularly. As one does on a Tuesday evening.I am joined by the incredibly funny and thoughtful Gena Radcliffe (from Kill by Kill Podcast and AOAS's very own White Ladies in Crisis) to go deep into this film's message about aging, illness and disease, disability, and evolution.Connect with Gena> Instagram: @genadoesthings | Substack > Kill By Kill Podcast | Kill by Kill Patreon Want to share your thoughts on Crimes of the Future or suggest a film to cover?

Our journey into the realm of hot, messy women embroiled in murder mysteries continues with Tate Taylor's adaptation of Paula Hawkins' The Girl On The Train. Much like The Woman in the Window, the film stars an A-list actress (here it's Emily Blunt) doing great work in a lukewarm thriller.Plus: female archetypes, too complicated plotting, our desire for a miniseries, and comparisons to male-centric "prestige" pictures like OppenheimerWanna connect with the show?> Gena: @genadoesthings (Instagram/BlueSky)> Jenn: @jennferatu> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!

Terry and Joe finally hit one of former's most anticipated titles on the pod: David Lynch's surreal 1997 masterpiece, Lost Highway.This mind fuck of a film noir has true crime connections in Robert Blake, dual roles for Patricia Arquette, but makes the mistake of subbing out Bill Pullman for Balthazar Getty?

Disabled folks who have by default a non-existent to low quality of life? Check. Disabled characters being a burden to loved ones? Check. Magical cures? Check.2024's Night Swim is a layer cake of the disability tropes we know and love, and I thought I would channel some of the simmering rage this film insured to give a refresher on some of these tropes (since we circle them frequently here on the pod).Want to share your thoughts on Night Swim or suggest a film to cover?

Terry and Joe tackle another challenging Cronenberg title with the adaptation of David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly (1993).Is this the straightest queer film ever? Although Jeremy Irons and John Lone are both doing great work, the film's reticence to engage with its gender, queer, and even political themes frustrates us to no end. By playing this realist and straight (in all senses of the word), the film is a bad marriage of director and material.Wanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify" Hosted on Acast.

Entry 1 is Joe Wright's long delayed adaptation of The Woman in the Window, which finds Amy Adams in unflattering pyjamas and the largest NY apartment we've ever seen, spying on Julianne Moore (or is it Jennifer Jason Leigh?) getting murdered.Plus: grown-ass men playing boys, twists on twists on twists, a Single White Female sequel, and why Jenn cried twice.Wanna connect with the show?> Gena: @genadoesthings (Instagram/BlueSky)> Jenn: @jennferatu> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!

Disability representation in media doesn't exist in a vacuum because disability is something that can impact anyone at anytime – meaning it is so important to touch on the intersectional points of representation.Nichole is joined in a discussion of the landmark, but complicated, film Se7en by Hannah Oglivie, host of Fats on Film, a podcast that discusses the representation of plus-sized bodies across all genres of television and film.We touch on so much in our discussion of Se7en:> there are some arguably terrible individuals associated with this movie now but wanted to still have this conversation in the hopes that there is a benefit of sharing our thoughts> how media depictions of disability, weight, gender and sexuality begin to inform our associations and identity from a young age> how disability and weight are linked to the “religious morality” framework of the Seven Deadly SinsConnect with Hannah: @queenbeastsays / @fatsonfilmWant to share your thoughts on Se7en or suggest a film to cover?

For this episode, Nichole is covering two films just released in theatres – Immaculate and The First Omen (2024). As a fan of religious horror, I was very excited to see both but was very surprised to find myself thinking about these films well after viewing and what they had to say about bodily autonomy (both in regards to reproductive health and beyond).Additional Reading/Research:> Leaving Eden Podcast: Ep. 161: Elora Dodd Speaks About Growing Up Neurodivergent In Fundamentalism on Apple Podcasts> Leaving Eden Podcast: Ep. 53: ABORTION on Apple Podcasts> Bodily Autonomy and the Right to Privacy: What They Are, How They Affect People with Disabilities, and Why We Need to Protect Them - Autistic Self Advocacy Network (autisticadvocacy.org)> Supported Decision-Making | National Resource Center (supporteddecisionmaking.org)> First Omens and Immaculate Conceptions: Pregnancy Horror Is Having a Moment - Bloody Disgusting (bloody-disgusting.com)> A New Skin: Losing Control of Your Body in the 2020s | Features | Roger EbertWant to comment with your thoughts on these nunsploitation films?

Terry and Joe return to talk about Cronenberg's queerest film yet: the 1991 adaptation of Naked Lunch.This one is tough, particularly if you're less familiar with the life and work of William S. Burroughs. Visually it's very surreal and fantastical (the typewriters!), but narratively it doesn't come together in a satisfying way.Plus: the amazing FX, real life manslaughter, creature buttholes, and *that* Roy Scheider cameoWanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify" Hosted on Acast.

After wrapping up Clive Barker's Books of Blood, Bryan and Joe dig into Brannon Braga's Trick r'Treat-style anthology, Books of Blood (2020).It's...fine. Too polished, strange story choices and Bryan is *not* a fan of how much the film hangs on the character of Jenna (Britt Robertson).Plus: Barker's involvement, speculation about how this went from a TV series to a standalone film, and comparisons to Hulu other Barker adaptation, Hellraiser (2022).Wanna connect with the show?> Bryan: @eviltaylorhicks (Instagram/BlueSky)> Joe: @bstolemyremoteMusic Credit: Hellraiser Theme by Christopher YoungCheck out Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad for more great content and the other Network pods Hosted on Acast.
