Saltburn or Throwing the Babe out With the Bathwater
Your Weird Aunts have been summoned by the popularity of this year's "it" weird film Saltburn. Nothing like diving back into the bad old days of Indie Sleaze to enjoy the classic tale of boy meets grand old estate and falls in love. We cover it from the vampires to grave, and hope to bring you...
-
The Cell or The Scariest FYP
This week we rewatched The Cell with Jennifer Lopez and Vincent D'Onofrio. We talk about surrealism, tik tok, and the cultivation of raven familiars. But mostly, we talk about Vincent D'Onofrio's absolute chokehold over the vulnerable monster market. Join as we voluntarily enter The Cell. Learn...
-
Barbarian or Be my Little Baby
You thought your Air BnB experience was a nightmare. And we're never the type to victim blame but I assure you, if we showed up to a rental and Pennywise answered the door, we'd sleep on the street before agreeing to share the place but that's not what our heroine did and that's not how any…

The Sandman or Enter Me, Sandman.
This episode we watched Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. As longtime fans we get into the important details of the adaptation but as always, veer off into topics ranging from popcorn related drug fronts to interactions with our mirror selves in other dimensions, you know, girl talk. Join as we descend...

Stranger Things 4 or Vecna? I hardly know Ya!
We ran up that hill to make a deal with God and we got him to swap our places. We watched Stranger Things and we learned some strange things about ourselves. Our love of Kate Bush was confirmed. Always trust a chaotic good metal head, an ingenious stoner, and a girl who knows to saw off a shot…

The Batman Or True Detective at The Black Parade
We watched THE Batman, and if you don't know which one, then you don't know your Batmans. While other podcasts may have a deep feel for the comics, know a lot about the movie history, we are just your out of touch weird aunts who saw the batman and had serious concerns about the hair choices.…

Our Flag Means Death or The Glamorous Pirate show
This episode we cover Our Flag Means Death, a pirate comedy that will unexpectedly break your heart. Are there amazing cameos? Absolutely. Are there gay pirates, full tea services on ships, telepathic seagulls? Of course. We discuss all the important themes, are pirates the punk rockers of the…

Labyrinth or Jareth, Come Back!
Keeping our fingers firmly on the pulse, knowing awards season is just around the corner, we watched The Labyrinth! From 1986? The Jim Henson film? Yes, the very same. Have you seen it before? Hundreds of times and yet, we watched it again for the sheer joy of it. We talk about the origin story,...
-
The Eyes of Tammy Faye or The Eyes Have It
This week we watched the movie, "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." Having both watched the documentary, there was not much to learn, but the performances were fantastic. We talk about crafting yourself as a commodity in America and the downside when you don't deliver on your own product. We also get into...
-
When Last Night in Soho lands you on The Boulevard of Broken Dreams
For the first movie of the year, we treated ourselves to a pricy rental. "Last Night in Soho," is the latest from Edgar Wright and is a beautifully styled, throwback thriller. It's not just the aesthetics that seem vintage, but it borrows from classic psychological thrillers visually and...
-
It Follows or How to Lose a Sex Demon in 10 Days
This episode we watched the film It Follows about a young woman who is trying to outrun the consequences of an ill-fated one night stand. Sadly, a round of antibiotics and a pint of ice cream will not suffice when you are facing what appears to be some kind of sex demon after a lackluster sexual...
-
Lamb or Love.Angel.Monster.Baby
This week we watch A24's latest offering Lamb with Noomi Rapace. It is modern folktale that follows a grieving couple as they welcome their newest arrival. While we go through several theories that include telekinesis, we mostly admire a gentle horror that is more in line with the Grim Brothers...
-
Dune 2021 or Dune it and Dune it and Dune it Well
After revisiting David Lynch's Dune in an earlier podcast, we were very eager to watch Denis Villenueve's offering and it did not disappoint. This movie is crammed with so much talent, elegant styling, haunting atmospheres and apparently every Zaddy they could find available. Not that we forgot...
-
Squid Game or Red Light Green light, Dagona Candy, Knife Fight
This week on the pod we cover Squid Game and we managed to keep all our organs. We ask the hard questions, would a bowel movement count as movement during red light, green light? What kind of trauma would cause you to choose boy band burgundy as a makeover hairdo? And also, can anyone be ethical...
-
Midnight Mass or Grandpa's Vacation Disaster
We watched the newest in the Mike Flanagan horror anthology and just like a Priest wandering the desert, we were in for a rude surprise. While we had different reactions to this miniseries, we could agree there were a few flaws. Always glad to hear Neil Diamond, that is what we could firmly agree...
-
Showgirls or It's a Dog Eat Dog Food World
As we're entering fall, we're starting our "Could it be we're falling in love with movies" era and watching some of our favorite films starting with the cinematic masterpiece Showgirls. A film that manages to have made all the wrong choices and yet is so earnest, so wrong, it's won a place a in…
more -
Annette or Been Around the World with My Flying Baby
So this week we reviewed Annette and if you're looking for an unbiased review, you are not going to receive one. Blinded by our devotion to all things weird, Adam Driver's inexplicable charisma and Sparks charming score, it was difficult to watch this film with a critical lens. Were there flying...
-
Dune 1984 or Spice up Your Life
In our continuing series Summertime Sadness, your Auntie Ruth suggested that Auntie Jeanna watch all 2 hours and 15 minutes of Dune, the 1984 version. So what would happen if you took a saga with as much material as Game of Thrones, and tried to condense it into one film? Wonder no longer…

Crimson Peak or You Live Your Life Like a Candle in a Waltz
So, we're entering into our Summertime Sadness series where Auntie Ruth and I choose movies that the other has never seen and we have the suspicion they may not like. While we are alike in almost every way, there are a few things we disagree on, and just like two freckled chicks without…

Jennifer's Body or Sometimes Friendship Can Succubus
So for our last episode of Pride we get to reclaim Jennifer's Body. A film that has been resurrected much like Jennifer herself and achieved cult status over the years. It follows the path of a friendship that is severely tested by demon possession, but along the way shows the strength of the…

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert or I Have One Thing to Say, You Better Delta Burke

The Wicker Man 1973 and 2006 Versions or Mind Your Business on Secret Island
After covering Midsommar wherein we mentioned the 1973 version of The Wicker Man as an obvious inspiration, we decided to go ahead and re-watch both versions of the film. I think if you are a willing student, these films have a lot to teach. The most important lesson of course being, if you find...
-
Midsommar or Sometimes You're the May Queen and Sometimes You're the Bear
To welcome in the Summer we're covering Midsommar and crowning our very own May Queen! Midsommar is a divisive horror film and every few weeks on social media someone will post, was the boyfriend really all that bad? Well Your Weird Aunts had pretty strong feelings about it and I'm sure you can...

Let the Right One In or I've Never Met a Girl Like You Before

Bram Stoker's Dracula or Love Never Dies, Just ask Satan's Brides
This week following our mini-horror marathon, we took advantage of Francis Ford Coppola's version of Bram Stoker's version of Dracula. A gothic romance, a tortured protaganist, an air of spirtualism and mesmerism as the dawn of the new age sees the last of the real magic dying, oh and what of the...

Saint Maud or Saint Maud is Hot for God
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...

Bridgerton or Gossip Earl

October Faction or Of Magical Bondage
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...

Daybreak or The Revenge of Baron Von Triumph
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...
