Just in time for its 20th Cannes anniversary, we're talking about gay director Gus Van Sant's Elephant (2003) which takes a fictional docuseries approach to the Columbine massacre. C/W for anyone involved in a (school) shooting. Expect a lot of talk about the film's technical elements: the long takes, the dispassionate violence, the use of non-professional actors in a real school, and the lack of...

Chop up those rats and tomatoes and practice your vaudeville act because we're joined by guest Tyrone Williams to discuss Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962).

We're celebrating Alien Day with Ridley Scott's Alien prequel, Prometheus (2012), a film that sparks plenty of debate with guests Ian Carlos and Zach Patton-Garcia of My Bloody Judy .
