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.

Ahoy listeners! We're kicked back on the beach this week with the Daniels feature debut Swiss Army Man. This quirky indie dramedy stars Paul Dano as Hank and Daniel Radcliffe as a corpse named Manny. The Daniels have had a stellar 2022 thanks to their massive hit Everything Everywhere All at Once. This week, we dissect the smaller, yet just as intimate and referential, Swiss Army Man. We talk body humor, physical performances, the thesis that "women were more special before the internet", and Arthur increases his vocabulary. Tune in now to hear our thoughts, and then let us know what you think about this one.
