Sibling Rivalry / Basket Case (1982) with Nichole Goble
This week Mike is joined once again by Nichole Goble of the Bodies of Horror podcast to discuss the 1982 exploitation and cult classic Basket Case directed by Frank Hennenlotter. This movie is a look at the sleazy underbelly of early '80s New York City and a piece of classic Gore in Camp. It’s also a deeply empathetic movie about how we look at those that are different from ourselves. We talk about how the beauty in this movie lies in how it treats its subjects in a very humane way whereas others would disregard them as freaks. We talk about the strong bond and stronger tension between twins and talk about the stress that comes with being the person who needs the care and support of a caregiver. We discuss the unique stressors that come with that Dynamic and how it can often lead to tense battles between siblings. We keep it loose and we keep it real and we hope you enjoy this episode.

What better way to kick off the topic of sibling rivalry with a classic of old world Hollywood that featured one of the most iconic feuds in movie history?

Aging and Relationships / X (2022) with Dan Pfleegor and Nichole Goble
This week Mike is joined by Dan Pfleegor (Losers’ Club) and Nichole Goble (Bodies of Horror) to talk To West’s X. This mashup of Boogie Nights And The Texas Chain Saw Massacre gifts the world with two head turning performances from Mia Goth, while offering a surprisingly tender look at sex work and sexuality as we age. That it does so while also delivering a nasty slasher experience filled with gore and carnage just makes it all the better. We explore everything above and also discuss how rewatching this movie after checking out its surprise follow up Pearl helps deepen our experience and understanding of this one.

New Relationship Energy / An American Werewolf in London (1981) with Rebecca McCallum
This week, Mike talks about his favorite horror movie of all time when he discusses 1981’s An American werewolf in London, written and directed by John Landis. Once deemed “too funny to be scary and too scary to be funny” it went on to invent or at least refine the horror-comedy hybrid. This week he is joined by England’s own Rebecca McCallum of Ghouls magazine and the Moving Pictures Film Club to talk about their mutual love for this movie. We discuss the standout special effects created by Rick Baker, how the comedy and horror still hit 4 decades later, the mutual attraction between David and Alex, and also the queer overtones that permeate this film with the relationship of Jack and David. We also discuss the idea of othering and how it feels to be a stranger trapped in an unfamiliar territory in extraordinary circumstances. For our mental health topic this month we talk about new relationship energy and the many factors that go into why we're attracted to certain people. This was a fun one to record and if there's one thing Mike feels like he could talk about for days it's this movie. So beware the moon friends and stay off the moors because it's about to get all hairy up in here.
