On today’s episode, we’re finishing up Opposites Attract Month by covering one of the penultimate cult movies about an unusual relationship; we’re going to steal a tree and go on an adventure as we talk about Harold and Maude (1971).


This film has so much going on in it, but at its core, it’s a story about love, finding your people and how found family is just as real as your actual family. With the recent passing of Bud Cort, this movie has come back into consciousness and so forth, but I hope you’re ready to sing out and be free with me today

On today's episode, we're heading into November by revisiting a teen thriller remake of Fatal Attraction from the early 00s. Let's jump in the pool and try to stay out of the deep end, while we visit the movie, Swimfan (2002).


This movie isn't exactly great, but I do my best to break down these characters and plot, and try to wrap my brain around whether or not if this movie succeeds in what it's trying to do. Ultimately, it's a soapy teen thriller, and not a whole lot more.

]]> The Doom Generation (1995) with special guest Bobby Master The Doom Generation (1995) with special guest Bobby Master Wed, 20 Aug 2025 07:05:00 GMT 1:41:04 688fb46c0bb12601f08a851e true https://shows.acast.com/cultcinemacircle/episodes/the-doom-generation-1995-with-special-guest-bobby-master 688fb46c0bb12601f08a851e 639e3b361770e20011706dfb the-doom-generation-1995-with-special-guest-bobby-master full 189 This week, we dive into Gregg Araki’s The Doom Generation (1995), a neon-soaked, blood-splattered road movie that’s equal parts satire, nightmare, and Gen X fever dream. Following the nihilistic trio of Jordan, Amy, and Xavier as they spiral through a world of violence, sex, and black humor, Araki crafts a brutal portrait of lost youth at the edge of America’s cultural meltdown.


We unpack the film’s shocking violence, its biting commentary on consumerism and morality, and how it fits within Araki’s “Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy.” From its campy dialogue to its disturbing finale, we ask: is The Doom Generation pure provocation, or does it reveal something deeper about identity, alienation, and the rage of a generation?


If you’re ready to confront a film that MTV once called “the first true Gen X movie,” buckle up—this ride is messy, grotesque, and unforgettable.

Blurring the lines between documentary-style confessional and narrative chaos, the film follows a group of queer teens navigating love, alienation, and survival in early ’90s Los Angeles. We unpack its fragmented structure, its unfiltered portrayal of youth on the margins, and the way Araki captures both the aimlessness and urgency of adolescence. From grainy camcorder intimacy to punk-fueled rebellion, we explore how Totally Fucked Up remains a defiant, vulnerable time capsule of Gen X disillusionment

We follow the story of Dinky Bossetti, played by a young Winona Ryder, as she navigates her outsider status in anticipation of the return of the town’s elusive hometown hero, Roxy Carmichael. Is Roxy a savior, a symbol, or just a ghost of what never was? We’ll explore how the film blends teenage alienation with adult disillusionment, examine its portrayal of 90s-era femininity and longing, and ask whether Roxy Carmichael ever really needed to come home at all.

Directed by Adrian Lyne and starring Tim Robbins, this cult classic follows Vietnam veteran Jacob Singer as he grapples with disturbing visions, shifting realities, and the unraveling of his own identity.


We explore the film’s layered narrative structure, its eerie depiction of PTSD and grief, and its deep spiritual undertones rooted in mysticism, paranoia, and death. From its nightmarish imagery to its lasting influence on psychological horror and pop culture, Jacob’s Ladder is more than a film—it’s a descent into the fragile human psyche.


Join us as we dig into the symbolism, production history, and legacy of this unforgettable journey between life and death.

Directed by Amy Heckerling (Clueless, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and starring Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari, Loser tells the story of Paul Tannek — a socially awkward but good-hearted guy navigating life at NYU, unrequited crushes, and toxic roommates. We’ll unpack the film’s portrayal of early 2000s youth culture, discuss its awkward charm and missed opportunities, and explore how it fits into Heckerling’s broader filmography. Was Loser misunderstood at the time, or is it just that — a cinematic misfit that never quite found its crowd? Tune in as we revisit this quirky underdog story and see how it holds up 25 years later

Banned shortly after its release due to music rights issues, this 1987 short film remains a powerful and controversial portrait of fame, control, and self-destruction.


We’ll unpack the film’s bold aesthetic choices, its unflinching depiction of eating disorders, and how it reimagines the biopic format through subversive storytelling and emotional minimalism. We also discuss the legacy of Karen Carpenter’s voice, the role of media in shaping celebrity identity, and why this film continues to resonate despite its legal exile.


Tune in as we explore what makes Superstar both a daring piece of unauthorized art and an unforgettable elegy to a voice silenced too soon.

This movie was written and directed by Todd Solondz.


We explore how this movie was a huge part of the indie movie boom in the mid-90s, and how this launched the careers of both its director (Todd Solondz), and its star (Heather Matarazzo). We also try to dissect some of the themes that this movie tackles, and why it's been such a beloved classic for the marginalized and the misfits.

We explore how this beloved 1995 film captures the complexities of girlhood, friendship, and the sometimes awkward, often magical transition into adulthood. From seances in cemeteries to first kisses and family drama, we dive into the film's powerful themes, standout performances, and why it still resonates decades later.


Plus, we unpack how Now and Then carved out a space for female-driven narratives in a genre so often dominated by boys. Get ready for some major ‘90s feels.

Directed by Todd Phillips and starring Breckin Meyer, Seann William Scott, and Amy Smart, this chaotic journey across state lines is packed with bad choices, accidental admissions, and a VHS tape that should’ve never been mailed.


We break down the film’s outrageous moments, its place in the early 2000s teen comedy boom, and whether its jokes still land 25 years later. Is it a cult classic or just a time capsule of early-aughts absurdity? Buckle up—it’s gonna be a bumpy (and hilarious) ride.

In one year and one day, you will be DEAD! full 171 In this episode, me and my homegirl, Jackson Cooper, dive into the cult classic Equinox (1970), a low-budget horror gem that helped lay the groundwork for independent genre filmmaking.


With its surreal story of college students stumbling upon an ancient book that opens a portal to another dimension, Equinox blends stop-motion monsters, amateur charm, and Lovecraftian terror. We explore the film’s unique production history, its influence on later horror hits like The Evil Dead, and how it earned a place in genre history thanks to the passion of its creators—especially future Star Wars effects artist Dennis Muren.


Whether you're a seasoned horror buff or just discovering this underground favorite, this episode sheds light on why Equinoxremains a fascinating piece of horror history.

With a brand-new cast and a wild ride through young love, dino-driven limos, and Vegas-style shenanigans, this film aimed to show us how Fred and Wilma—and Barney and Betty—first found love in the Stone Age.


But did this bedrock reboot rock our world or crumble like a fossil in the desert sun? We’re digging into the casting switch-ups, the cartoon-to-live-action challenges, the bizarre creative choices, and why this movie is somehow both a time capsule and a fever dream.

Join me as I salute the absurdity of crime-fighting schoolgirls in mini skirts, Lucy Diamond’s gay villain era, and a love story that somehow bloomed in the middle of a laser gun fight.


I'm asking the tough questions:

  • Who funds this academy?
  • Why is there zero adult supervision?
  • And most importantly—where can we get a pleated plaid uniform of our own?


Pack your eyeliner, sharpen your sass, and prepare to suspend every ounce of disbelief.

]]> This week, we’re infiltrating the highly classified, absolutely ridiculous world of D.E.B.S., the 2004 spy spoof where top-secret agents are recruited via… standardized testing?


Join me as I salute the absurdity of crime-fighting schoolgirls in mini skirts, Lucy Diamond’s gay villain era, and a love story that somehow bloomed in the middle of a laser gun fight.


I'm asking the tough questions:

  • Who funds this academy?
  • Why is there zero adult supervision?
  • And most importantly—where can we get a pleated plaid uniform of our own?


Pack your eyeliner, sharpen your sass, and prepare to suspend every ounce of disbelief.

You wanna share a cab?"

"So I can pass out and wake up *alone* on New Year's Day?"


On today's episode, we're closing out the year with an absolutely appropriate pick for New Year's Eve. This film has somewhat gone lost, but is deeply beloved by a lot of folks who have seen it and that is the MTV Film, 200 Cigarettes (1999)


This movie is full of a bunch of up-and-coming stars as they have one crazy NYE evening in New York City, and it's a fun, hangout type of film, in my opinion. This also has a super banging soundtrack filled with a bunch of 80s music. This film is worth a watch at this time of year, and I hope you enjoy my coverage of it!

This movie was directed by and written by Matthew Bright.


This movie stars Reese Witherspoon (The Man in the Moon, Legally Blonde), Kiefer Sutherland (Stand by Me, The Lost Boys), Dan Hedaya (Mulholland Drive, Clueless), and Brooke Shields (The Blue Lagoon) . Also in the cast, we have fun cameos from Brittany Murphy (8 Mile, Girl, Interrupted), Alanna Ubach (Clockwatchers, American Horror Story), and Guillermo Diaz (Party Girl, Nowhere).


This movie is so hard to explain, that it needs to be seen to be believed. It's a gritty crime take on a classic fairy tale, and I truly see it as a film unlike any other that I'm aware of.

This movie was written by Cameron Crowe, and directed by Amy Heckerling.


This movie stars Sean Penn (I Am Sam, Milk), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Single White Female, Possessor), Judge Reinhold (The Santa Clause, Beverly Hills Cop), Phoebe Cates (Gremlins, Drop Dead Fred), Brian Backer (The Burning, Loser), Robert Romanus (Curfew,The Runaways), and Ray Walston (My Favorite Martian, Popcorn).


This is one of my favorite teen movies, and I’m so glad to be covering this film on the show. This movie serves as a blueprint for teen movies to come, and I think handles the subjects in this film very well.

This movie was directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Ed Neumeier.


This movie stars Casper Van Dien (Casper Meets Wendy, Sleepy Hollow), Dina Meyer (Beverly Hills 90210, Johnny Mnemonic), Denise Richards (Valentine, Tammy and the T-Rex), Jake Busey (The Frighteners, From Dusk till Dawn:The Series), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog), Patrick Muldoon (Stigmata, Spiders 3D), and Michael Ironside (Scanners, Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II).


This movie was seriously misunderstood at the time of its release, and has now enjoyed a re-evaluation of the content, and just how much of a satire it is. This movie is a good time as an action flick, and is highly entertaining for those who watch it!

This movie was written and directed by Luc Besson and co-written by Robert Mark Kamen.


This movie stars Bruce Willis (The Last Boy Scout, Death Becomes Her), Gary Oldman (Sid and Nancy, JFK), Ian Holm (King Lear, Alien), Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil, Dazed and Confused), and Chris Tucker (Friday, Jackie Brown).


Joining me for this episode is the creator and co-host of the Specter Cinema Club, DeVaughn Taylor. We talk about how wonderfully campy this film is, the fashions that are to die for, and DeVaughn also provides wonderful, insightful analysis of this film, which I truly appreciate! You should absolutely go follow his show, and absolutely go watch this wonderful film.

This movie was directed by Andrew Fleming, and was co-written by Peter Filardi and Andrew Fleming.


This movie stars Robin Tunney (Empire Records, Prison Break), Fairuza Balk (The Worst Witch, Return to Oz), Neve Campbell (Scream, Wild Things), and Rachel True (Nowhere, Embrace of the Vampire). Also included in the cast are Skeet Ulrich (Riverdale, As Good As It Gets), Breckin Meyer (Clueless, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare), and Cliff DeYoung (Dr. Giggles, Shock Treatment).


This movie has its highs and lows, for sure. If anything, it's an example of a horror movie that explores the idea and world of witchcraft, and is an example of a decent mid-90s horror flick. This movie is also an absolute sleepover movie (especially for young women and probably queer folks), so it has a certain place in the hearts of the fans that grew up with it. It's worth a watch if you've never seen it, and for a horror fan, definitely should be on the list to watch, as well.

This movie is directed by Gary Winick and written by Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith.


This movie stars Jennifer Garner (Alias, Juno), Mark Ruffalo (Zodiac, Shutter Island), Judy Greer (Jawbreaker, Halloween Kills )and Andy Serkis (The Lord Of The Rings Film Series).


This film came into my life a bit later, but i'm glad it did. Also, as an absolute Jennifer Garner STAN, it was a definite must-watch at some point. This movie is squarely a teen movie romantic comedy, but also has a bit of heart to it, and is worth a watch to those who enjoy that kind of cinema.

This movie was directed by Arlene Sanford, and written by Harry Elfont, Deborah Kaplan, James Berg and Stan Zimmerman


This movie stars Shelley Long (Outrageous Fortune, The Money Pit), Gary Cole (The West Wing, The Good Wife), and Tim Matheson (National Lampoon's Animal House, She's All That).


We also have some great performances from Olivia Hack (Hey Arnold, Avatar: The Last Airbender), Christine Taylor (Campfire Tales, Zoolander), Jennifer Elise Cox (EDtv, Moesha) and Christopher Daniel Barnes (Spider-Man, The Little Mermaid). Included along with these folks are fun cameos from Rupaul, Rosie O' Donnell, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and John Hillerman.


This movie was made out of the immense success of the first film, but in true sequel fashion, goes off the rails and dives into more of the camp/kitsch territory. This movie has a bit more of an edge to it, and really cranks up the over-the-top nature, but for some reason, this movie feels like a nice, warm blanket, and I will watch it at any time to get all the feels! Do yourself a favor, and watch it!

This movie was directed by Betty Thomas and written by Laurice Elehwany, Rick Copp, Ronnie Turner, and Terry Turner.


This movie stars Shelley Long (Troop Beverly Hills, Cheers), Gary Cole (The West Wing, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law), Michael McKean (Clue, This is Spinal Tap), and whole host of other folks like Christine Taylor (The Craft, Night Of The Demons II), Jennifer Elise Cox (Six Feet Under, The Comeback), and Rupaul (But I'm A Cheerleader, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar)


This movie is the epitome of perfection when it comes to TV to film adaptations, and it's such a great example of how to do parody right. This movie is so funny, but never malicious in its intent, and I think that really sets it apart from other movies of its ilk. Do yourself a favor and watch this immediately.

That's right!!! Today, we're covering the hot mess that is Ghost Ship (2002). This movie was co-written by Mark Hanlon and John Pogue and directed by Steve Beck.


This movie stars Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects, Hereditary), Julianna Margulies (ER, The Good Wife), Ron Eldard (Drop Dead Fred, Bastard Out of Carolina), Desmond Harrington (Wrong Turn, The Neon Demon), Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy, Girl 6), and Emily Browning (Darkness Falls, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events).


This movie is such an early 00s horror movie that it's not even funny; It's got the blue tint, the nu-metal soundtrack, and the slo-mo that just makes the movie that much creepier *rolls eyes*. This movie is a stupid, fun time, and I think more people need to watch it, if you like some fun, dumb horror.

If you are sensitive to those kinds of themes in the media you consume, please be aware of that before listening to this episode.


On today's episode, we're going to play a game of croquet with our new best friends, head over to the Snappy Snack Shack for a Turbo Dog, and also try to stop our crazy ex-boyfriend from killing other people at our high school, while we revisit the pitch black dark comedy, Heathers (1989). This movie was written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann.


Joining me for this episode is Donovan Marcotte. He's a fellow gay who also loves this movie, and me and him talk about how fabulous this movie is, and just how it shaped us into the 'mo that we are today.


This movie stars Winona Ryder (Little Women, Stranger Things), Christian Slater (Interview With a Vampire, Mr. Robot), Shannen Doherty (Charmed, Beverly Hills, 90210), Lisanne Falk (Night on Earn, Less than Zero), and Kim Walker (Say Anything..., A Reason to Believe).


This movie is so iconic for the teen film genre. It showed that you can go dark in a high school movie, and paved the way for many movies after it. This film is such a great example of a cult classic, and deserves to be watched by any fan of teen movies or just dark comedies in general. This is also pretty much required viewing for any gay folks, so of course I had to chime in!!

This movie stars Megan Fox (Transformers, Hope & Faith), Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls, The Dropout), Johnny Simmons (Evan Almighty, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), and JK Simmons (Whiplash, Juno)


This movie is a great example of a cult classic, because it was wholly misunderstood when it first came out, and has enjoyed a reappraisal in recent years regarding the feminist themes in the film, and I completely love that for this film. This is a great example of a female-led movie, and this movie has such an unique story and voice to it, that it's completely worth a watch for any horror fan!!

This movie is so beautifully atmospheric and haunting. It makes you feel a certain level of dread throughout the whole film, and it's a movie that has been so influential to horror movies as a whole, and it's an absolute must-see for any fan of horror!!

]]> On today's episode, we're heading to Salt Lake City for our new job as an organist, stopping by that old, abandoned pavilion on our way there, and we're going to watch some ghouls ballroom dance with each other, while we revisit the absolutely underrated horror classic, Carnival of Souls (1962). Joining me for this episode is resident expert on this film, and fellow movie gay, Jackson Cooper!!! We chop it up about this movie, and some fun book drama that Jackson has experienced while trying to write about this movie.

This film was directed by Satoshi Kon and written by Sadayuki Murai.


This movie stars Junko Iwao (Cardcaptor Sakura, Attack on Titan), Rica Matsumoto (Pokemon, Naruto), Shiho Niiyama (Detatoko Princess, Agent Aika), Masaaki Okura (Akira, Dragon Ball Z), and Shinpachi Tsuji (Cowboy Bebop, The Big O).


This movie is such a beautiful film, and is honestly so goddamn unsettling for a host of different reasons. This is a great psychological horror film, and it's an absolute treat to watch and cover it on the show. More people need to watch this film, and let themselves enjoy the spookiness that comes with it!

This movie was directed by Pete Hewitt and co-written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.


This movie stars Keanu Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix), Alex Winter (Death Wish 3, Grand Piano), William Sadler (The Shawshank Redemption, Die Hard 2), Joss Ackland (Watership Down, Lethal Weapon 2), Pam Grier (Jawbreaker, Bones), and George Carlin (Carwash, Dogma).


This movie is such a departure from the first film (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure), but I think it's a great sequel in its own right, and it has a certain visual style and edge to it, that really makes it set apart from movies in a similar vein. I recommend checking it out to see how warped this story gets and seeing these actors having such a fun time making the film. Remember to be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!!!

This movie was co-written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon and directed by Stephen Herek.


This movie stars Keanu Reeves (The Matrix, My Own Private Idaho), Alex Winter (The Lost Boys, Freaked), George Carlin (The Prince of Tides, Outrageous Fortune), and Robert V. Barron (Night Court, Eating Raoul). We also have a bunch of other appearances from folks like Al Leong (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard), Jane Wieldlin (Clue, Mission Hill), Dan Shor (Tron, Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College), and Tony Steedman (Scrooged, The Golden Girls).


This movie is absolutely a gem, and if you haven't seen it already, you should change that!!! This is a silly buddy comedy on the surface, but I also think has some good messages tucked in there, as well. It's smartly written, and is a worth a watch, for sure!!

This movie was written and directed by Thom Eberhardt.


This movie stars Catherine Mary Stewart (Weekend At Bernie’s, Days Of Our Lives), Kelli Maroney (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Chopping Mall), Robert Beltran (Eating Raoul, Star Trek:Voyager), Geoffrey Lewis (Midnight In The Garden of Good And Evil, The Lawnmower Man), and Mary Woronov (TerrorVision, The House Of The Devil)


This movie is a wonderful example of sci-fi/horror, and includes some impressive zombie special effects on a fairly small budget. This film oozes the early 80s, and I love it!! If you’re a horror fan or a fan of 80s movies, do yourself a favor and watch this!!!


NOTE: I’m very aware that I call Catherine Mary Stewart by the wrong name. No need to point it out!!!

This movie was written by Alan Ormsby and directed by Mark Herrier.


This movie stars Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather, When a Stranger Calls Back), Tom Villard (Grease 2, My Girl), Dee Wallace (The Howling, Cujo), Kelly Jo Minter (The People Under The Stairs, A NIghtmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child), and Tony Roberts (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Amityville 3-D).


This movie is such an odd find and definitely marches to the beat of its own drum, and I think is absolutely the definition of a forgotten horror gem. Does the plot make a whole lot of sense? No!! Is some of the imagery in this movie legitimately scary? Yes!! Is Reggae music always the right choice? Absolutely!!! Take a chance and watch this film, and you might get something fun out of it!!

This movie was written and directed by Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan.


This movie stars Ethan Embry (Defending Your Life, Empire Records), Jennifer Love Hewitt (I Know What You Did Last Summer, Party of Five), Peter Facinelli (Nurse Jackie, Twilight), Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under, Law and Order), Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken), and Charlie Korsmo (Hook, Dick Tracy). This movie also includes a bazillion other cameos from up-and-coming stars in Hollywood including Melissa Joan Hart, Jason Segal, and Selma Blair.


This movie screams late 90s to the fullest, and is a true example of doing a lot with a smaller budget. This movie definitely paved the way for other teen films after it, and it's absolutely worth a watch for those who haven't seen it, and it's an enjoyable, quotable, romp for those who are very familiar with it.

This movie was directed by David DeCoteau and written by Sergei Hasenecz.


This movie stars Linnea Quigley (Graduation Day, Silent Night, Deadly Night), Robin Rochelle (The Slumber Party Massacre, American Ninja 4: The Annihilation), Brinke Stevens (Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity, Nightmare Sisters), and Michelle Bauer (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Evil Toons).


For this episode, I'm joined by my absolute favorite hot mess twink, Pickens Barringer. We talk about him meeting the absolute goddess that is Felissa Rose, a brief history on the direct to video movie market of the 80s, and just talking about this stupid, stupid movie! This film is a perfect example of a "so bad it's good" movie, although I don't know how much I'd agree with that. If you're into bad movies and maybe slightly offensive jive-talking puppets, this might be just up your alley.


NOTE: Pickens decided that he needed to show us all how to properly breathe in and out to maintain homeostasis, so you’ll hear him breathing throughout the episode.

If that’s a problem for you, I have plenty of other episodes for you to listen to.

This movie was directed by Jamie Babbit and written by Brian Wayne Peterson with a story credit by Jamie Babbit.


This movie stars Natasha Lyonne (Slums of Beverly Hills, American Pie), Clea Duvall (The Faculty, She's All That), Rupaul (The Brady Bunch Movie, A Very Brady Sequel), and Cathy Moriarty (Raging Bull, Casper). Other actors in this film include Melanie Lynskey (Heavenly Creatures, Yellowjackets), Dante Basco (Hook, Avatar: The Last Airbender), and a small cameo from Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek).


This movie is such a queer comedic classic, and is an absolute staple for the lesbians and gays in general. It's campy, satirical, over-the-top, but also has some deep things to say about living the gay experience. If you've never seen this film, you should add it to your watchlist immediately, so you can experience this film.

This movie was written and directed by Amy Heckerling.


This movie stars Alicia Silverstone (True Crime, American Woman), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man, Romeo+Juliet ), Brittany Murphy (Riding In Cars With Boys, Uptown Girls), and Dan Hedaya (Dick, In & Out).


This film is one of my absolute favorite films ever. Everything from the lexicon to the fashions is utterly amazing, and it really began a sea change over what teen films could be. This movie has had a lasting impact on teen movies as a whole, and I'm so happy to be covering this film with my wonderful sister, Sarah Heidelberg.

This movie was written and directed by Richard Linklater. 


This movie stars Jason London (To Wong Foo, The Rage: Carrie 2), Ben Affleck (School Ties, Mallrats), Matthew McConaughey (A Time To Kill, Contact), Parker Posey (Party Girl, Clockwatchers), Adam Goldberg (Stay Alive, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), and Rory Cochrane (Empire Records, Oculus). This film oozes 70s style and is such a fun look at a time in history when so much was going on. It's got great music, the plot is pretty simple to follow, and it's so cool to see actors that have hit it big start off early in their careers. This is definitely worth a watch if you've never seen it. I also think it's also great for repeat viewings!!! 


NOTE: You’ll hear us hitting the mic throughout. I take responsibility for placing the mic on a couch, so you can listen to all of our moving around! Just think of it as an added layer of reality.

This movie was directed by James Signorelli and written by Cassandra Peterson, John Paragon, and Sam Egan.


This movie stars Cassandra Peterson (Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, All About Evil), W. Morgan Sheppard (Wild at Heart, Transformers), Edie McClurg (Carrie, Natural Born Killers), and Daniel Greene (Me, Myself & Irene, There's Something About Mary)


This film is so wonderfully tongue-in-cheek and campy. It captures the essence of Elvira's character and showcases Cassandra Peterson’s humor so well. It’s a favorite film amongst the queer community, and can really be enjoyed by anyone who loves a silly, spooky film.

This movie stars James Lorinz (Street Trash, Last Exit to Brooklyn), Patty Mullen (Doom Asylum, The Equalizer), and Louise Lasser (Blood Rage, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman)


This movie is a wonderful example of a cult classic, written and directed by one of the kings of the cult film himself, Frank Hennenlotter. If you want a crazy film that you can turn your brain off and have a fun time with, this would definitely be a high recommendation.

This movie stars Felissa Rose (Return to Sleepaway Camp, Victor Crowley), Jonathan Tiersten (Return to Sleepaway Camp), Christopher Collet (The Manhattan Project, The Purge), Mike Kellin (The Twilight Zone, Lost in Space, Starsky and Hutch), and Katherine Kamhi (All My Children, Ghost Whisperer, The Fosters)


This film is absolutely NUTS and has such a storied history with how the film portrays gay and trans folks. All in all, it's definitely a movie that is unlike any other one I've ever seen before, and I think for any horror movie newbie, it's definitely worth a watch to just bask in the absolutely terrible glory of this film.

This movie was directed by Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach, Coraline) and written by Caroline Thompson (with story credit to Tim Burton). This movie stars Chris Sarandon (Fright Night, The Princess Bride), Catherine O'Hara (Home Alone, Schitt's Creek), Danny Elfman (The Gift, Corpse Bride), Ken Page (All Dogs Go To Heaven, Torch Song Trilogy), and Paul Reubens (Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) 


This movie is an absolute classic in stop-motion animation and still looks good. It's a simple story that can be shown at pretty much any time of year and is an excellent way for kids to dip their toes into the horror pool. I love this film, and I hope you will, too.

This film is the definition of a midnight movie that laid the groundwork for other cult films to come. This movie embraces the oddballs of the world and is a beautiful example of camp.

This movie stars Edward Woodward (Breaker Morent, Hot Fuzz, EastEnders), Christopher Lee (The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula, Sleepy Hollow), Britt Eckland (The Man with the Golden Gun, The Monster Club, The Love Boat), and Diane Cilento (The Third Secret, Duet for Four, The Boy Who Had Everything).


This is one of the foundational films for what is considered "Folk Horror" and has influenced horror as a whole. The story behind this film getting made is crazy (the negatives of this film are pretty much lost forever), but it's an absolute must-watch for any horror fan.

This movie was written by I. Marlene King and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter.


This movie stars Rosie O'Donnell (A League of Their Own, Harriet The Spy), Christina Ricci (Mermaids, Addams Family Values), Demi Moore (St. Elmo's Fire, Striptease), Gaby Hoffmann (Field of Dreams, Sleepless in Seattle), Melanie Griffith (Working Girl Cecil B. Demented), Thora Birch (Hocus Pocus, Ghost World), Rita Wilson (Jingle All The Way, Runaway Bride), and Ashleigh Aston Moore (Touched By An Angel, Northern Exposure). We also have a fabulous supporting cast that includes Devon Sawa, Janeane Garofolo, and Cloris Leachman.


This movie is often referred to as the female "Stand By Me", and I personally think that this movie is honestly just as good as that film, and is an absolute classic for girls that grew up in the 90s. It's also crazy to see how stacked this cast is, and how heartwarming the story overall is. Do yourself a favor and watch this absolute banger of a film.

This is personally, my absolute favorite horror film, and it's a must-watch for any die-hard horror fan. The imagery captured in this film (from the infamous shower scene to the prom massacre scene) has been recreated, parodied and homaged for literal decades (and with good reason).

This movie is almost 30 years old, at this point, and it still stands out as a beautiful piece of queer cinema. It has spawned a popular musical of the same name and has an outstanding balance of comedy and drama in the film to show what these performers are going through.

]]> On today's episode, we're loading up the Jaguar convertible and heading down to Tuscon, AZ, and revisiting the beautiful cult classic film, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. This film was written by Robin Schiff, and directed by David Mirkin.


This movie stars Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite, Welcome to Shiningvale), Lisa Kudrow (Friends, Clockwatchers, The Comeback), Janeane Garofolo (Reality Bites, The Truth about Cats and Dogs), and Alan Cumming (Spice World, GoldenEye, X2:X-Men United).


This movie is about two best friends who find out that their 10-year high school reunion is coming up, and they decide to reinvent themselves to impress their former classmates. This movie is super duper colorful, and has a great message about being yourself, and keeping your best friends close to you. This is a MUST-WATCH!!

This movie stars Kirsten Dunst (Bring It On, The Virgin Suicides, Drop Dead Gorgeous), Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek, Halloween: H20, Blue Valentine), and Dan Hedaya (Clueless, In & Out) and is a hilarious re-imagining of the events of the Watergate Scandal in the 1970s. This film is definitely worth a watch and has a bangin' soundtrack of 70s hits throughout.

This movie stars Rose McGowan (The Doom Generation, Scream), Rebecca Gayheart (Beverly Hills 90210, Urban Legend, GBF), Julie Benz (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Dexter), and Judy Greer (13 Going on 30, Archer).


This can only be described as a sickly campy movie about 3 friends who accidentally kill their best friend on her birthday, and now they have to cover up the crime. If you like dark comedy movies, this is definitely a must-watch.
