Trigger Warnings: Domestic abuse, gaslighting, hallucination, torture, blood and guts, extreme violence, compound fractures, police, mental health.They said it was impossible, but here's the movie with a disability twist that might actually be too dumb to criticize. Your mileage may vary, but James Wan's Malignant is definitely going to elicit some reaction from you!Wan is the most recent AAPI director we're highlighting this week, with a huge slew of horror and non-horror movies and a massive production company of his own in Atomic Monster, there are few genre directors with more influence...which is sort of the only reason I can imagine this movie got made at all.Recommendations:M3ganStar Trek: Strange New WorldsThese Fleeting ShadowsGunpowder MilkshakeNobodyRenfieldBanshees (from Scout Comics)John WickThe Seattle Underground (the actual place, not many of the other things probably named this in popular culture) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

AAPI Heritage month continues as we highlight pacific islander director Taika Waititi and talk about the original film that spawned the FX tv masterpiece. Our friend Carrie Tupper joins us to talk about the movie that proposes: what if Louie from Interview with a Vampire, Dracula from Bram Stoker's Dracula, Edward from Twilight, and Nosferatu were roommates in New Zealand. The answers may surprise you! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We open up AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Island) Heritage month by talking about our girl Karyn Kusama and The Invitation. You know how sometimes you have a tragic divorce and your ex runs off and joins a cult for six months with her new husband? And then when they do come back they want to tell you all about the joy of death show you videos about euthanasia? And you know how your new black girlfriend thinks all of this is perfectly normal and is very cool with being shut up in a scary LA villa with a bunch of death obsessed cultists and never raises the slightest objection to any of this and acts like you're crazy for thinking it's at all strange? And then you find out your friend that supposedly has been running late left you a message saying they actually showed up early and you're pretty sure he's dead?Has this ever happened to you? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Sometimes you set out to make a fairy tale about monsters and end up with a touching portrait of an escapist child in the Spanish Civil War. And sometimes you end up with a story about a fish that fucks. I bet you can't guess which one won best picture?We call it a wrap on Guillermo Del Toro month by talking about The Shape of Water. The big twist? Not an S shape, like you would think. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
