For this week's episode, we're headed to Los Angeles to become stars in the fashion industry with Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon (2016). Tagging along for the cannibalism and necrophilia is Bloody Blunts Cinema Club's DeVaughn Taylor who has a unique appreciation for spooky nonsense and has a pretty killer theory about what Ruby, Sarah and Gigi are really up to. CW: sexual assault, necrophilia Up for discussion: connections to American Psycho, Abbey Lee and Jena Malone appreciation, why Trace finds the film so uncomfortable and a sprawling discussion regarding accusations about the film's misogyny.

Hello Zep, we want to play a game! So grab your blue filter and reverse bear trap because we're talking James Wan's debut film Saw! Joining us for the discussion are former guests Jenny Nulf (Fatal Frame and The Handmaiden) and Lindsay Traves (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm)! Join us as we discuss the film's "torture porn" moniker and how it served as a reaction to 9/11 (and other things) during the Bush administration. We'll discuss the film's legacy and admire the franchise's adherence to its own continuity (for the most part). We ask important questions like: Did Gordon actually cheat on his wife? Is Jigsaw actually a murderer? Would he be convicted in a court of law? What project management software does he use? And who shit in the toilet? Plus, Jigsaw dioramas, sexy Billy the Puppet costumes, Trace's Cary Elwes impression and that. Fucking. Ending. Questions? Comments? Snark?

We're sticking with high school outsiders as we revisit Robert Rodriguez's The Faculty (1998). We're joined by Pissi Myles of My Spooky Gay Family podcast to discuss all of the film's many, MANY queer elements, courtesy of screenwriter Kevin Williamson. Aside from the homages to classic sci-fi, we tackle queer coding in Stokely and Casey, question why Zeke is such an asshole and absolutely rip into the terrible finale, which betrays nearly every character. Plus: debating the Rodriguez vs Williamson elements, Joe bemoans how Usher was used by the Tommy Hilfiger tie-in campaign, the return of Trace's Elijah Woods thirst, and debating the ingredients in Scat. Oh, and we get personal about our bullying experiences in the locker room. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Prep your Lydia from Beetlejuice cosplay and channel your inner Carrie because this week were delving into Marina Sargenti's direct-to-video film Mirror Mirror (1990). CW: the dogs die. Written by sisters Annette and Gina Cascone, the film is almost entirely made by and starring women, including the fabulously named Rainbow Harvest, Karen Black and The Munsters' Yvonne De Carlo (in a very Tangina from Poltergeist-esque role). Up for discussion: being picked last for sports, shitty high school teachers (Tobo!), Karen Black's wigs, sex acts involving reflective surfaces and steam room titties. Plus: Joe teaches Trace the rules of water polo and why we heartily recommend the film despite a so-so 2nd half and audacious, unconventional ending. Reference: Kate Hagen.
