A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

Hello friends! Pull up a seat—you don't need a reservation! This week, we're talking about 2021's Pig starring Nicolas Cage. This John Wick-marketed story of a man and his pig presents something much different than expected. We break down the story beats of the movie and discuss how it subverts expectations, critiques the revenge thriller, and even offers a meta-commentary on Nic Cage's career. If you haven't seen this one yet, catch up with it, and then join us at the analysis table as we dissect Pig.
