Kayla and Tyler dive into Todd Solondz' Happiness, our first listener pick, courtesy of Landon Defever. The film deals with some difficult subject matter, as each character in this web has their own flawed idea of how best to find the titular concept. It's uncomfortable, to say the last. But first, the team dives into some timely 2019 fare with a frustrated reckoning with The Rise of Skywalker, an earnest defense of Black Christmas 2019, and an appreciation of the Netflix's Let It Snow.

In their September episode, Kayla and Tyler tackle a double feature of high-concept high school movies that aren't really about high school. Talking points: the 90s American male, how movies and audiences view female characters, transplanting noir into a surprisingly fitting setting, the need for challenging art and curated streaming, and the power of withholding catharsis. Also, Rian Johnson good! But first - Kayla revisits A Star is Born and Tyler relates the plot of the 2008 Bradley Cooper-starring motion picture The Midnight Meat Train.

On this month's podcast, Kayla and Tyler revisit one of their favorite (ongoing, damn it!) film series and talk Happy Death Day(s). The double features serves up a delightful stew of slasher elements, time nonsense, a lovable and laugh-inducing cast, and moving stories about grief! Also, Kayla challenges a movie producer to a fistfight and learns how Patreon works shortly before leaving the country. Are all these things connected?

Kayla and Tyler discuss the highs and lows of the newest entry in the Halloween franchise: complicated female relationships, questionable decision-making, and rich podcasters.

Fresh off their final Salem Horror Fest 2018: Weekend of the Witch event, Kayla and Tyler briefly discuss every single event of the weekend (that they made it to). Does this end up taking the familiar form of more praise for The Faculty of Horror and critical analysis of even the art you hold most dear? Who's to say?

LTRFI recurring guest and poet laureate Lauren Milici (https://twitter.com/motelsiren) is now recurring CO-HOST Lauren Milici. It's the dawn of a new era. She joins Kayla and Tyler to discuss the right holiday, Halloween, and it gets *occasionally* ***SPOILERY*** See the show notes for timestamps, just in case there's a movie you want to wait on!

Gabe Aikins returns to with a single Cube. Well, he watched the other Cubes, and we'll gladly let him bite that bullet. He and Tyler discuss the mathematically defined number of sides in a cube, as well as the bright spots in what is a dated, budget-constrained little premise film. Fun fact: a remake called Cubed is, allegedly, on the way. May the unknown overlords of our own Earth cube have mercy. Find Gabe's work at substreammagazine.com and on Twitter @ GabrielAikins.

Today, a double feature! Sean Laughery returns to talk two spooky houses with Tyler as they discuss Ti West's 2009 slow burn favorite THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and Peter Medak's 1980 should-be cult classic THE CHANGELING. They discuss what makes both so wonderfully terrifying and the house and non-house parallels that can be drawn between the two. But to spoil it a bit, both should be entries in your annual celebrations of our greatest holiday. Also, Tyler eats a pancake. The House of the Devil is streaming on Shudder: https://www.shudder.com/watch/the-house-of-the-devil/2327284/1 The Changeling, alas, is streaming on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPRkXMkJMEA Find our streaming horror guides here: http://ltrfi.com/streaming-horror Tyler's Hooptober list: https://boxd.it/1eEeK

Frequent guest and combination teacher/poet/Stephen King fan Lauren Milici (@motelsiren) joins Kayla and Tyler as they return to discuss a 2017 Stephen King adaptation, but not the Netflix one, the Idris Elba one, the Spike TV one, or the other Netflix one. Topics include: when we first found King, what's the deal with Mike, finding a common ground of "Bill Skarsgard is sexy, but I don't want to have sex with the murder clown," and how this sure is a horror movie no matter what dudes online say.

In this episode, one that's been held in reserve, Kyle and Tyler discuss the conundrum that is movies on Netflix and their tendency to quickly fade from cultural memory. The two then discuss one such entry, Charlie McDowell's The Discovery - a Netflix movie that probably deserved to disappear quickly, despite a promising cast and premise.

Ben Rettinhouse joins the podcast to regale a quickly deteriorating Tyler on the actual plot of The Mummy (05:05).

On this week's episode, a With Feeling! edition, the person stepping in for Kayla... is Kayla! She and Tyler discuss the new super hero movie, including its charming stars, stellar character work, and unfortunate final battle. The discussion naturally expands to women directing, Chrises being compared, and David Thewlis' mustache. Some spoilers present!

Kayla also gushes about her favorite director (not BB8, yet) and her favorite droid (BB8). Before that, Kayla regales us with her thoughts and feelings in her rewatch of the Harry Potter series, and Tyler stumps for two movies that haven’t gotten their due despite the presence of great soundtracks, a young Oscar nominees, and an adorable dog.
