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 when the game itself is corrupt? We also talk about Squid Game.

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 on. So join us as we plod through this long, dreary trek through the promised land where we find out if our communion wine has been spiked or if our supplements have just really kicked in.

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 our hearts. We have a scrappy young woman who claws her way to the top of Las Vegas Nightlife with her own determination and nail art, overcoming Herculean obstacles only to discover that getting what you want is not necessarily the same as getting what you need. So watch out for anyone younger and hungrier coming down the stairs behind you, and join us for Showgirls. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 puppets? Maybe. Were indulgent mistakes made? Who knows? Would we have watched 15 more hours of whatever was happening during this film? Absolutely. Join us as we try to come to terms with our feelings about the film, it's a journey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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, because Dune took on that challenge. While David Lynch was not given full control, hours of footage were cut, and what we are left with is some Lynchian fever dream with the earnest Kyle McLaughlin trying his hardest to shoulder this beast with a little Spice, the adventure is worthwhile. And while no one could quite tame this sandworm of a film, its contribution to the fantasy/sci-fi landscape is undeniable. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 sunscreen, we've decided to take it up a notch and make this summer miserable. Now, we reviewed Crimson Peak which for reasons unknown, and loving all other Del Toro films, sent Auntie Ruth into a blind rage. We had to work through it and re-record, but join us as we tap into our own history with falling for the wrong goth and getting into a heaps of trouble, it surely contributed to our Summertime Sadness.

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 bonds formed between young women and the hell of being a teenaged girl.

So we're striding into Pride this month and reviewing the classic film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. A story of a humble pilgrimage of self-discovery through the Outback, like Chaucer in Sequins, we discuss the impact of the film and it's continuing charm. With Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving, and Terence "Kneel Before Zod" Stamp, it's literally packed with talent, like an overstocked makeup bag. So let's celebrate after a long, strange trip of our own this past year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 yourself on a secret island the first thing you should do is find the quickest route off that island. Barring that, asking a ton of questions is probably a bad idea despite your job description. So grab your animal mask and lute, and join us on a pagan journey where there is nothing we won't sacrifice for your listening pleasure. Learn more about your ad choices.

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 guess, we were fairly comfortable with the stranger elements. But join us in this fairytale gone horribly wrong and dance until you drop! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
