    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.

    Pull out your sheep trotters and dance with that giant tongue door because we're discussing Stephen Sayadian's 1989 pseudo-sequel Dr. Caligari! Join us as we try to piece together just what is going on in this bizarre little movie. From forced transitions to horny cannibals, we don't think the director of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari could have ever foreseen this coming out of his classic silent film. It's wild. It's weird. We can't quite say we'd recommend it, but we certainly won't forget it! Questions? Comments? Snark?

    Stay away from that sideshow attraction and watch out for murderous sleepwalkers because we're discussing Robert Weine's classic 1920 silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, believed by many to be the first true horror film ever made! Join us as we go on a tour of pre-WWII German history and learn about German Expressionism to see how Caligari came to be. But more importantly: to acknowledge the importance of this seminal film that has influenced countless film directors in the 105 years(!!!) since its initial release. Questions? Comments? Snark?

    Considering Joe's relationship with the "franchise", it's about time...we covered an Amityville film! To coincide with the release of Oz Perkins' The Monkey, we're checking out the "haunted clock" entry of the Amityville "series" and this one is a hoot. C/W: the dog dies Up for discussion: Rusty's "delinquency", VPL, surprisingly gnarly practical FX, a Final Destination-style death, ugly 90s interior decor, and debate if this is a secret Hellraiser film. Plus: Trace plays Real or Fake with 10 Amityville titles and Joe gives his top recommendations -Read Joe's Bloody editorial series 'The Amityville IP', which includes 'It's About Time' Questions?
