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.

Our 2024 look back continues with Dalton's selection—the prequel horror film The First Omen. From 20th Century Fox, Arkasha Stevenson's nunsploitation attempted to breath new life into an on again/off again franchise. But, does it give birth to something new? We discuss Italy's "Years of Lead" and current political and societal concerns, the Catholic church, institutions of power, and much, much more. Join us, as we bring The First Omen to the analysis table.
