We wrap Shocktober 7 with a look at Dario Argento's Three Mothers Trilogy—Suspiria, Inferno and Mother of Tears. And believe us when we say that one of these things is not like the other. To appease our own mother, Dustin, we thought it wise to make the go home show an artsy, foreign discussion. It also helps that we're inspired by the upcoming remake of Suspiria. So, timeliness. This week, we tal...

In recent years, A24 has become the new Miramax, boasting a near flawless record of critically-acclaimed indie darings.

With our Growing Up in Summer marathon behind us, we decide to move on to bigger and brighter things... Or, something like that. If nothing else, we giggle. A lot. Because, we return to our regularly schedule program with what many have called the worst movie of 2017, The Snowman.

Across the country, schools are getting back in session. And with that, summer is unofficially over. Which means, the Growing Up in Summer marathon must come to an end. And we decided to go with a Dalton and Arthur favorite, Charlie Bartlett. They both love it, but will Dustin hold it in the same regard? In a twist, Dalton was unable to make it to this week's show! But, he sent his thoughts in for...

Our Growing Up in Summer marathon is winding down. We only have two more stops. This week, our film journey brings us to the aughts and places us in small town Texas. We got a bit tired of the male-centric stories we were looking at, and decided to look at a female-led, female-written and female-directed film. That's right, we're talking Drew Barrymore's Whip It!   

I know what you're thinking, "Isn't it about time to wrap this marathon up?" Well, here's the thing. We do what we want. And we only got to the 80s with  Boyz N the Hood . The way we see it, we gotta take this Coming-of-Age Marathon all the way to today. Or, at least the aughts. With that in mind, we enter part five of our marathon, move into the 90s and discuss the emotional gut-puncher, The Perk...

He is also the youngest nominee...

Our lives keep changing as the summer progresses. That's right, our Growing up in Summer marathon continues this week with the 80s classic, Dirty Dancing—which takes place in the summer of '63. Dirty Dancing offers quite a few differences to  Stand by Me . It's never as nostalgic, it features a strong female lead who comes from money. While class is a part of Stand by Me, it drives the narrative o...

Ciao, and welcome back to your favorite film analysis podcast! We're back with one more show, much to Dustin's chagrin. Coming out of  The Loveless , we were still in the mood for some bad boys.
