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 and Happy Halloween! We're bringing Shocktober to a close with LGBTQ icon, The Babadook. This top-hatted specter and his pop up book became all the rage in the years following the film's release, but memes aside, how does Jennifer Kent's tale of grief and parenting hold up? We discuss that, parenting, abuse, grief, and much, much more as we dive into this ghostly tale. As we wrap Shocktober, stay through to the end to hear next week's title! Tune in now!
