Ho Ho Ho Ho-ello there!It has come upon us once again: the Christmas season. And as was aforementioned, its getting darker. We must let you know that this was not planned... or our tolerance levels are so out of whack that we've blackened our souls and have detached ourselves from societal norms...Annnnyyyywwwaaaayyyyyy, there's nothing more Christmas-sy than Lars Von Trier! And this film; starring Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson, in her first film role, lets us know that we're in for a rough ride for a good 2 hours and 40 mins. Thankfully, it's all set on an "unnamed Scottish Isle" where everyone's accents are all over the place, the sideburns are "pure 70s", the medical equipment looks outdated, and it's all brown. And that means we're in the past.DESCEND INTO THE DARKNESS WITH US ALL!

Don't [expletive] with the babysitter! The 1987 flick, Adventures in Babysitting, was an action-packed comedy filled with quotable quotes, car chases, and even a couple of f-bombs. A then 22-year-old Elizabeth Shue danced, ran, and sang the blues, launching the movie into cult-classic status. But now, decades later, does it all feel like a chore? Should Shue's “Chris” have called it quits two hours earlier? And just how popular was that issue of Playboy magazine? The Old Roommates take their pop culture car into the shop and give the Chris Columbus debut a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

Al Pacino won his first Academy Award for his role as Lt. Col. Frank Slade, a cranky, demanding, foul-mouthed guy who also happens to be blind. Oh yes, 1992's Scent of a Woman had old Oscar in its sights (no pun intended). The grandstanding worked. Oodles of Oscar nominations and big bucks at the box office soon followed. But now, decades later, does this movie wear out its Thanksgiving welcome before we can say, “Hoo-ah”? Is Charlie (Chris O'Donnell) being noble or a nitwit in his efforts to protect his classmates? And why is this movie over two and a half hours long? The Old Roommates tango around these questions and more, all through their middle-aged lens.

This week we review Edward Berger's Conclave, a papal conspiracy thriller in the guise of a serious business, hiding a goofed-up B-movie underneath. We talk about its twists and turns, its murderers' row of a cast, and its absolutely preposterous ending. Will this make our best-of-the-year lists? Tune in and find out!

London-based film writer Esmé Holden joins us to discuss David Cronenberg's M. Butterfly. Based on the Tony Award-winning David Henry Hwang play - itself based on the the real life relationship between Bernard Boursicot and Shi Pei Pu, a Beijing opera singer - Cronenberg's film embraces the conventions of melodrama while thoughtfully exploring gender & queernes and weaving a complex romance tragically undone by the conventions and bigotries of the colonial-capitalist order.We begin by discussing the films explorations of gender, queerness, and transness, and how Cronenberg showcases an exceptionally forward-thinking and nuanced portrayal of these concepts in an era of films content with caricature, stereotype, and parody. Then, we consider how M. Butterfly presents a ground-zero for further explorations of the body, its presentation within societal perfrormance, and the fluidity of sexual expression that would become hallmarks of Cronenberg's signature style throughout the next few decades. Finally, explore the complicated ideological stictures that confine the film's protagonists and how capitalism's myopic definitions of identity continue to hinder self-actualization in its subjects.Follow Esmé Holden on Twitter.

Oh boy. Looks like we inadvertently put a bunch of sad (but good) films in a row to wrap up 2024. But honestly, it makes sense.In David Attwood's film, based on the true story of the troubled homeless man called Stuart who meets a writer to detail the intricacies of his life, we are treated to another masterclass from Tom Hardy. In the final part of "Tomsgiving" bit of a tearjerker but it's a good tearjerker. Everyone likes a good cry. It's very therapeutic. Or something.Anyway, get your tissues you fiends!

Seth-vember continues with a hard turn into the bowels of human misery with Paris, Texas! Michelle and Seth are joined by Felicia Maroni of the Seeing Faces In Movies podcast to discuss Wim Wender's 1984 masterpiece. They discuss shower songs, taking the pill of this movie to feel pain, the logistics of the plot and the oddly large poster of Yentl. It's a place of dreams and neon landscapes and we hope you'll join us in our misery.  Check out Felicia's website and Instagram For all of our bonus episodes and to vote on upcoming episodes check out our Patreon Patreon supporters help pick episodes, monthly themes and get access to all of our additional shows and our Patron exclusive Discord.

Then, we praise Plante's formal control and ethics, how he constructs his 21st century milieu, what he chooses to show and how he shows it. Finally, we caution against passivity when engaging with mediated forms and why our moment demands that we make meaning of our realities, even as powerful forces work toward our mindless complicity in ever-expanding horrors.Red Roomsis available now on VOD and on Region A Blu Ray from Vinegar Syndrome.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

This week, we review Aaron Schimberg's under-the-radar indie darling, A Different Man, an unlikely companion piece to this year's The Substance and may even overtake it as the essential 2024 text on self-hatred and the self-wounding blade of wish fulfillment. Effortlessly smart without an ounce of ostentatious force, this is a movie with a million layers underneath its cruel, nasty joke of getting exactly what you want. Tune in to our review!

You've heard of a wooden performance but this is ridiculous. This week, Cody and Matt begin renovations on their new Irish castle and discover one of this year's most overlooked hits! They discuss clever dialogue, effective narrative threads, and the fine art of weaving different types of horror together cohesively. On top of all that, the boys also discuss what they claim to be some of the greatest scares of the year while debating the usefulness of an Irish hole. That's... not what it sounds like.Pack up your wooden man and head for the hills because things are about to get odd!Thanks for listening!Socials: https://linktr.ee/nighthowlspod?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=e6092441-bbf1-40cf-a2b0-e09786c917bc

In this episode, Bill and Lord Reverend Bricklemyer discuss their return to the podcast after a hiatus, touching on personal health updates, the current political climate, and their thoughts on new horror films, particularly focusing on 'The Substance,' a body horror film featuring Demi Moore. They explore themes of identity, duality, and the visual storytelling techniques used in the film, while also sharing their insights on the horror genre and its evolving landscape. In this conversation, the hosts delve into the themes of Hollywood's treatment of women, the consequences of selfishness, the transition of a film into horror, the impact of aging on self-perception, and their final thoughts on the film's execution and recommendations. They explore the symbolism within the film, the societal implications of aging, and the effectiveness of body horror as a genre.
