With the help of his sister and drunk uncle (Gary Busey) they must work together to find out who's the mons...

CHERRY-PIE, neither myself nor my guest had seen this movie before the podcast. It's time to be 'woke' everyone. Dylan and I sit together with They/Them (2022).

Kat (The Komfort Zone With A K) comes back this week with another emotional rollercoaster of a movie. This time we're talking the family drama of The Sixth Sense (1999).

It's time to discover just what ma...

'Aliens' - Insert meme here. This week Jess sits down with me to talk through a movie that scared her when it first came out, The Fourth Kind (2009).
