During this episode I discovered a new genre: 'domestic friendship bi- thriller'. This is literally one of my favorite genres. In a film starring Rob Lowe giving Lifetime movie villain and (my baby) James Spader acting for his life it's bound to have some heat. Me and Charles talk about how they tried to make corporate language seductive, the amazing interiors of 80s apartments, and more talk of h...

If you're at all still tapped into the Love Island world then you know these times are when things really amp up.

Charles is back on the pod! And what better way then to talk about one of the most revolutionary films of the 90s, Jury Duty starring Pauly Shore.

I'm so very excited to talk to the person behind one of my fav accounts on instagram, @90svalley . Most of the time I feel like what they post is right on my wavelength at the time. We both love the erotic thriller movies of the 80s and 90s. Of course we had to get straight into our faves and what we think of where the genre is now and what it needs to do going forward. The topics of Sam Levinson,...

Ahh, the 90s. Such a perfect time for the erotic thriller genre. It only felt right to pay homage to one of the greats, James Spader. I stumbled across this one from deep in the vault and I'm glad to experience Dream Lover from 1993.  I get into the mystery of why this wasn't a box office hit, the minimalist fashion, and bitch about why they just can't make 'em like this anymore.  --- Get BONUS ep...
