Returning guest Benjamin Wheeler brings us lights reflecting off the hood of a large automobile as the days go by. Michael Mann’s debut film Thief has pocket sized dreams and one last job to make them all happen. Anna, Josh and Cori are legitimate podcasters who can in no way...
Returning guest KatieOfTheNight brings us Baby Oopsie, a spinoff of the Full Moon Features 90s series Demonic Toys. The budget isn’t much but the cast is charming and everyone had a delightful time. Available to watch on YouTube if you’re interested!
Anna presents the second heisei Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Biollante! A well balanced mix of puny humans struggles and giant monster destruction with a soundtrack that slaps. Very fun unless you hate plants with teeth.
Cori is breaking the mold with a Japanese direct to video series called Giant Robo: The Animation aka Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still. In the first episode we meet many heroes and villains but most importantly we meet Giant Robo. It’s the peak of 90s animation so...
This summer Josh brings us a picture set in the winter. In black and white. With almost zero dialog. It is possibly the funniest thing we’ve ever seen.
cw: racism
Benjamin Wheeler brings the crew along to Megalopolis. What is it? Dead wife? Defeated by Godzilla? The last movie Francis Ford Coppola will make? All we have is questions and the inability to turn back time to see this movie in a theatre with other people.
Josh introduces Anna and Cori to this Hong Kong horror comedy featuring a cursed widow, a breakdancing chair, and a paper car. Enjoy!

Is this All That Heaven Allows?! Fancy technicolour and Brechtian alienation?! Josh has many smart things to say about Douglas Sirk’s work with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. Cori and Anna are here just to giggle at every mention of White Tip Spruce. Check it out!
Anna invites us to check inside every drawer in Jan Švankmajer’s Alice aka Něco z Alenky. It’s about a stoic living girl on a non-stop stop motion taxidermy adventure with all our familiar friends! The White Rabbit! The Mad Hatter! Bill!
Josh introduces everyone to Closed Circuit. A 1978 Italian tv movie about going to the theatre in Italy in 1978. And also it’s about tv. And commercials. It’s excellent and we suggest watching it with little to no information and then maybe giving our show a listen.
Anna, Josh, and Cori are joined by VFX veteran Chad “Wedge” Collier as we cross state lines to escape dirty cops. Convoy is a movie based on a song but they made a new version of the song for the movie. Then they made the movie too long and it’s...
The Year 2024 in review with Canada’s Sweetheart Anna Wasserman, Coriander “Content Creator” Dickinson, and movie enthusiast Josh A. Cagan.
Anna introduces us to the surreal contemplation of computer intelligence that is Computer Chess. It’s 1980 and there’s a chess tournament where the winning computer shall face off against the human mind! Also human minds will face off against human minds! Maybe humans and computers aren’t so different after all?...
content warning for the movie: loud noises, eyeball trauma, suicide
Josh brings Anna and Cori to the London Underground for Quatermass and the Pit aka Five Million Miles to Earth. We mostly do not talk about the war.
