A couple with severely different tastes, take turns forcing the other to watch something they do not want to watch. Maybe it's a horror movie. Maybe it's not. I don't know, it's only thirty minutes.
Skyller Tritch and Stuart Linver
The spirit of the 90's breaks the floodgates as Skyller chooses Never Been Kissed for this week's pick. From the multitude of comedy stars and SNL alumni appearing, if not for a second, to grace to screen, to a teacher that now comes off as predatory. Jimmy Eat World and Local H fill the gaps in this charming story that'll have you reaching for your Pogs.
The choice camp continues with the best movie to come out of Jupiter, Florida: Tim Ritter's Killing Spree. From ceiling-fan slicing to frizzy blood-covered-beards, Asbestos Felt's portrayal as a zany psychopath is sometimes all a movie needs to keep itself rolling...well that and a lot of DIY gore effects.
Brian Karpas from The Inexperienced Experience joins to discuss the 1967 camp classic, The Valley of the Dolls.
Edgar G. Ulmer's PRC classic, Detour, is the movie of choice, yet the topic of conversation weaves in and out alignment with the movie itself as each asset to its production and subsequent following yields more its own fascination.
Skyller corrects an egregious error (one of many) in Stuart's movie history rolodex: the silent-to-talkie-chronicling musical, Singin' in the Rain. Does he like it? Does he just refer to it as the Avatar of the 50's? Was La La Land better? Listen and find out!
Stuart shows Skyller one of his favorite movies, Combat Shock. Years after his return from deployment, the horrors of Frankie's waking life have only begun; and minutes after Skyller's viewing of Combat Shock, her disappointment has also only begun.

Skyller makes Stuart sit through But I'm a Cheerleader (1999). Does he like it? What is his reaction if he doesn't like it? Is the earth flat? Let's find out! Music by Elektronique Frequency Display: https://methwave.bandcamp.com/
