Fret about hot dogs because Jenn, Gena, and Joe are discussing Todd Haynes' impeccable character piece, May December (2023). C/W: grooming and sexual abuse.Expect a lot of talk about how both Gracie (Julianne Moore) and Elizabeth (Natalie Portman) as monsters, feeling sorry for an infantilized Joe (Charles Melton), and how the film works as an indictment of made-for-TV true crime adaptations and method actors.Plus: the film's disappointing award season performance, mirrors and monologues, and melodramatic musical stingers.Wanna connect with the show on Bluesky and Instagram?> Gena: @genadoesthings> Jenn: @jennferatu> Joe: @bstolemyremote / @joelipsett (BlueSky)If you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!

Let’s get a little personal, shall we? For this episode Nichole chats about 1989’s Tetsuo: The Iron Man, an experimental cult sci-fi horror film that follows the horrific nightmare and reality of man becoming metal. She watched this film after a valve replacement surgery that began her own metal mission and, as a result, the film hit a profound way. Following more viewings and additional research on the film and the director’s vision, Nichole is finally ready to discuss this cult classic on the pod.Want to share your thoughts on Tetsuo or suggest a film to cover?

Let's get psychologically sexy! Terry and Joe unpack David Cronenberg's historical drama featuring a trio of hot leads in Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen. Alas, there's something...lacking about this one.Plus: Knightley's accent, boring stretches, a scene-stealing Vincent Cassel, and an intriguing finale. Overall, however, we spend a lot of time questioning whether Cronenberg was a good fit for this material.Wanna connect with your co-hosts on Instagram & BlueSky?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremote / @joelipsett (BlueSky)Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify"If you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Discover more fabulously spooky Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad and follow the network on Instagram and BlueSky @aoas_xx Hosted on Acast.

After appearing on The Pod and the Pendulum Patreon episode on this film, Nichole is excited to explore the film with the wonderful Wes Harkness from Disabledland; this time from an explicitly disabled angle.
