Cult Cinema Circle

"Peaking in high school is cringe anyway"On today's episode, we're heading into Women's History Month by covering films that are directed by women, and this one is a total banger!!! We're covering the Netflix Original Do Revenge!!!This movie is a fun, self-aware pastiche of 90s and 00s teen movies made by someone who obviously love that genre and those movies, and It's so refreshing to see that in a more recent film. We've got great performances, fun costumes and a fairly good soundtrack through the whole film.Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

“A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life”On today’s episode, we’re finishing up Opposites Attract Month by covering one of the penultimate cult movies about an unusual relationship; we’re going to steal a tree and go on an adventure as we talk about Harold and Maude (1971).This film has so much going on in it, but at its core, it’s a story about love, finding your people and how found family is just as real as your actual family. With the recent passing of Bud Cort, this movie has come back into consciousness and so forth, but I hope you’re ready to sing out and be free with me today Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.
