HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH
Join us as we take a look at a movie that has a unique and original premise, but was disastrously mishandled when it was saddled with carrying the legacy of a legendary and revolutionary franchise. We’ll give some fun behind the scenes information, discuss the womanizing and alcoholic qualities of our hero, the movie’s uniqueness, the manufacturing of the masks, and the raw, animal magnetism of Tom Atkins. We also talk about Burning Man (which we unhelpfully don’t mention the name of), the trope of hating your spouse, victim identification, flirting at work and company towns.

Strange Darling
And it’s a strange one indeed! Featuring phenomenal performances from Willa Fitzgerald, Kyle Gallner and a host of wild and memorable side-characters, this movie relentlessly played with our perception and kept us guessing the whole way through. We’ll be talking about American gun culture, the line between homage and theft, constant shifts in how we see characters, nonlinear storytelling, kink, hyperrealism, the colors of the American flag, awkward one-night stands, coke vs ketamine, how race and gender play into perception, introducing dogs to cats and Jess’s wild adventure in trying to bring a girl home while Glenn and Jess were roommates. 
After you listen to this one, go to our social media and answer some of the questions we pose in this one, because we had a lot of questions about riffles, high desert, etc.
