Your Weird Aunts

After a long winter we're springing into horror with Saint Maud. It's a film by writer/director Rose Glass who brings us an intimate portrait into the unraveling of our lead Maud. So as an audience we see the film through Maud's eyes mostly and she is experiencing a spiritual revelation but of course we suspect there may be something more sinister going on beneath the surface. As you may suspect,...

In our last of the Strange Love Series, we watched Velvet Goldmine, Todd Haynes' late 90s film and Valentine to Glam Rock. This movie stars Toni Collette, Jonathon Rhys Myers, Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor as titans of the Glam era, amalgamations of Iggy Pop, Bowie, Eno, and Marc Bolan, and how their influence helped a generation of alienated kids see what could be possible for their own lives....

This episode we watched Bridgerton the new offering from Shondaland. Bridgerton answers the question, what if Jane Austen just took it all the way there? While our take might not be the most academic or thoughtful, it's probably what you would hear from your out of touch, older millennial aunts and aren't you missing that right about now?

This week we watched the Norwegian series for Netflix, Ragnarok. A young family returns to their idyllic hometown when a young man discovers he has a particular set of skills, especially when he gets around large hammers. Not only that, he also begins to suspect that the rich, extremely attractive family that also happens to own the one company that is the largest polluter in their small town, may...

This episode we cover the series October Faction. On its surface it's a show about a family of monster hunters, and yet, who are the real monsters? You see what we did there? Sadly, October Faction only had one season on Netflix and it was really packed with talent, so another season would have given it a chance to grow. But if you'd like to hear our review of a show packed with elite Monster Hunt...

On this episode we watched Cursed. Cursed was adapted from the book by the same name from Thomas Wheeler and Frank Miller who's responsible for everything you've ever liked. Join us as we discuss the important takeaways from this retelling of the Arthurian legend including, suspicious wig work, handsome conflicted villains, medieval hot tubs, and again really suspicious wig work. So please, come v...

This episode Your Weird Aunts have watched Daybreak, every single episode. Now usually, Netflix lets a series run at least two seasons, but Daybreak only made it one. Sadly, had this apocalyptic teen horror/comedy been released a year later, it might have found an audience that related to the material, but this wasn't the only bit of bad luck this series ran into. Daybreak had a ton of unmet poten...
