Saltburn or Throwing the Babe out With the Bathwater 1:00:50

7M ago1:00:50

1:00:50

Your Weird Aunts have been summoned by the popularity of this year's "it" weird film Saltburn. Nothing like diving back into the bad old days of Indie Sleaze to enjoy the classic tale of boy meets grand old estate and falls in love. We cover it from the vampires to grave, and hope to bring you along. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphon…

The Cell or The Scariest FYP 49:43

1+ y ago49:43

49:43

This week we rewatched The Cell with Jennifer Lopez and Vincent D'Onofrio. We talk about surrealism, tik tok, and the cultivation of raven familiars. But mostly, we talk about Vincent D'Onofrio's absolute chokehold over the vulnerable monster market. Join as we voluntarily enter The Cell. Learn more about your ad choices.

Barbarian or Be my Little Baby 47:17

2y ago47:17

47:17

You thought your Air BnB experience was a nightmare. And we're never the type to victim blame but I assure you, if we showed up to a rental and Pennywise answered the door, we'd sleep on the street before agreeing to share the place but that's not what our heroine did and that's not how any horror movie gets going, with a series of good decisions. …

The Sandman or Enter Me, Sandman. 49:44

2y ago49:44

49:44

This episode we watched Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. As longtime fans we get into the important details of the adaptation but as always, veer off into topics ranging from popcorn related drug fronts to interactions with our mirror selves in other dimensions, you know, girl talk. Join as we descend into dreams and give our thoughtful review of The San…

Stranger Things 4 or Vecna? I hardly know Ya! 54:02

2y ago54:02

54:02

We ran up that hill to make a deal with God and we got him to swap our places. We watched Stranger Things and we learned some strange things about ourselves. Our love of Kate Bush was confirmed. Always trust a chaotic good metal head, an ingenious stoner, and a girl who knows to saw off a shot gun. What song would bring us out of Vecna's embrace an…

The Batman Or True Detective at The Black Parade 50:12

2+ y ago50:12

50:12

We watched THE Batman, and if you don't know which one, then you don't know your Batmans. While other podcasts may have a deep feel for the comics, know a lot about the movie history, we are just your out of touch weird aunts who saw the batman and had serious concerns about the hair choices.

Our Flag Means Death or The Glamorous Pirate show 52:43

2+ y ago52:43

52:43

This episode we cover Our Flag Means Death, a pirate comedy that will unexpectedly break your heart. Are there amazing cameos? Absolutely. Are there gay pirates, full tea services on ships, telepathic seagulls? Of course. We discuss all the important themes, are pirates the punk rockers of the 17th century? Is this the original when Bowie met Iggy …

Labyrinth or Jareth, Come Back! 48:50

2+ y ago48:50

48:50

Keeping our fingers firmly on the pulse, knowing awards season is just around the corner, we watched The Labyrinth! From 1986? The Jim Henson film? Yes, the very same. Have you seen it before? Hundreds of times and yet, we watched it again for the sheer joy of it. We talk about the origin story, the making of, helpful facts of course but also, wild…

The Eyes of Tammy Faye or The Eyes Have It 48:04

2+ y ago48:04

48:04

This week we watched the movie, "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." Having both watched the documentary, there was not much to learn, but the performances were fantastic. We talk about crafting yourself as a commodity in America and the downside when you don't deliver on your own product. We also get into doomsday prepping, underwater caving, and the legacy …

When Last Night in Soho lands you on The Boulevard of Broken Dreams 52:08

2+ y ago52:08

52:08

For the first movie of the year, we treated ourselves to a pricy rental. "Last Night in Soho," is the latest from Edgar Wright and is a beautifully styled, throwback thriller. It's not just the aesthetics that seem vintage, but it borrows from classic psychological thrillers visually and thematically. It answers the question, how difficult is it fo…

It Follows or How to Lose a Sex Demon in 10 Days 49:07

2+ y ago49:07

49:07

This episode we watched the film It Follows about a young woman who is trying to outrun the consequences of an ill-fated one night stand. Sadly, a round of antibiotics and a pint of ice cream will not suffice when you are facing what appears to be some kind of sex demon after a lackluster sexual encounter. Luckily, Jay has a group of great friends …

Lamb or Love.Angel.Monster.Baby 57:08

3y ago57:08

57:08

This week we watch A24's latest offering Lamb with Noomi Rapace. It is modern folktale that follows a grieving couple as they welcome their newest arrival. While we go through several theories that include telekinesis, we mostly admire a gentle horror that is more in line with the Grim Brothers than Carpenter. Some come to our meadow and frolic wit…

Dune 2021 or Dune it and Dune it and Dune it Well 57:54

3y ago57:54

57:54

After revisiting David Lynch's Dune in an earlier podcast, we were very eager to watch Denis Villenueve's offering and it did not disappoint. This movie is crammed with so much talent, elegant styling, haunting atmospheres and apparently every Zaddy they could find available. Not that we forgot about sweet Timmy of course. It is a promising start a…

Squid Game or Red Light Green light, Dagona Candy, Knife Fight 1:03:51

3y ago1:03:51

1:03:51

This week on the pod we cover Squid Game and we managed to keep all our organs. We ask the hard questions, would a bowel movement count as movement during red light, green light? What kind of trauma would cause you to choose boy band burgundy as a makeover hairdo? And also, can anyone be ethical when the game itself is corrupt? We also talk about S…

Midnight Mass or Grandpa's Vacation Disaster 58:39

3y ago58:39

58:39

We watched the newest in the Mike Flanagan horror anthology and just like a Priest wandering the desert, we were in for a rude surprise. While we had different reactions to this miniseries, we could agree there were a few flaws. Always glad to hear Neil Diamond, that is what we could firmly agree on. So join us as we plod through this long, dreary …

Showgirls or It's a Dog Eat Dog Food World 56:58

3y ago56:58

56:58

As we're entering fall, we're starting our "Could it be we're falling in love with movies" era and watching some of our favorite films starting with the cinematic masterpiece Showgirls. A film that manages to have made all the wrong choices and yet is so earnest, so wrong, it's won a place a in our hearts. We have a scrappy young woman who claws he…

Annette or Been Around the World with My Flying Baby 52:28

3y ago52:28

52:28

So this week we reviewed Annette and if you're looking for an unbiased review, you are not going to receive one. Blinded by our devotion to all things weird, Adam Driver's inexplicable charisma and Sparks charming score, it was difficult to watch this film with a critical lens. Were there flying puppets? Maybe. Were indulgent mistakes made? Who kno…

Dune 1984 or Spice up Your Life 54:08

3y ago54:08

54:08

In our continuing series Summertime Sadness, your Auntie Ruth suggested that Auntie Jeanna watch all 2 hours and 15 minutes of Dune, the 1984 version. So what would happen if you took a saga with as much material as Game of Thrones, and tried to condense it into one film? Wonder no longer, because Dune took on that challenge. While David Lynch was …

Crimson Peak or You Live Your Life Like a Candle in a Waltz 54:52

3y ago54:52

54:52

So, we're entering into our Summertime Sadness series where Auntie Ruth and I choose movies that the other has never seen and we have the suspicion they may not like. While we are alike in almost every way, there are a few things we disagree on, and just like two freckled chicks without sunscreen, we've decided to take it up a notch and make this s…

Jennifer's Body or Sometimes Friendship Can Succubus 1:03:34

3y ago1:03:34

1:03:34

So for our last episode of Pride we get to reclaim Jennifer's Body. A film that has been resurrected much like Jennifer herself and achieved cult status over the years. It follows the path of a friendship that is severely tested by demon possession, but along the way shows the strength of the bonds formed between young women and the hell of being a…

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert or I Have One Thing to Say, You Better Delta Burke 1:00:58

3y ago1:00:58

1:00:58

So we're striding into Pride this month and reviewing the classic film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. A story of a humble pilgrimage of self-discovery through the Outback, like Chaucer in Sequins, we discuss the impact of the film and it's continuing charm. With Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving, and Terence "Kneel Before Zod" Stamp, it's…

The Wicker Man 1973 and 2006 Versions or Mind Your Business on Secret Island 59:23

3y ago59:23

59:23

After covering Midsommar wherein we mentioned the 1973 version of The Wicker Man as an obvious inspiration, we decided to go ahead and re-watch both versions of the film. I think if you are a willing student, these films have a lot to teach. The most important lesson of course being, if you find yourself on a secret island the first thing you shoul…

Midsommar or Sometimes You're the May Queen and Sometimes You're the Bear 56:42

3+ y ago56:42

56:42

To welcome in the Summer we're covering Midsommar and crowning our very own May Queen! Midsommar is a divisive horror film and every few weeks on social media someone will post, was the boyfriend really all that bad? Well Your Weird Aunts had pretty strong feelings about it and I'm sure you can guess, we were fairly comfortable with the stranger el…

Let the Right One In or I've Never Met a Girl Like You Before 52:02

3+ y ago52:02

52:02

This episode we cover the Swedish classic horror romance, Let the Right One In. Ever since the book was released, based on the title of a Morrissey song, it's had our attention. It is a beautiful story about the nature of love and connecting with other people who see you as you are and love you for your authentic self. Having watched this film on i…

Bram Stoker's Dracula or Love Never Dies, Just ask Satan's Brides 51:55

3+ y ago51:55

51:55

This week following our mini-horror marathon, we took advantage of Francis Ford Coppola's version of Bram Stoker's version of Dracula. A gothic romance, a tortured protaganist, an air of spirtualism and mesmerism as the dawn of the new age sees the last of the real magic dying, oh and what of the magic of love you say? I think you'll find it powerf…

Saint Maud or Saint Maud is Hot for God 57:43

3+ y ago57:43

57:43

After a long winter we're springing into horror with Saint Maud. It's a film by writer/director Rose Glass who brings us an intimate portrait into the unraveling of our lead Maud. So as an audience we see the film through Maud's eyes mostly and she is experiencing a spiritual revelation but of course we suspect there may be something more sinister …

Velvet Goldmine or Wham Bam Thank You Glam 50:56

3+ y ago50:56

50:56

In our last of the Strange Love Series, we watched Velvet Goldmine, Todd Haynes' late 90s film and Valentine to Glam Rock. This movie stars Toni Collette, Jonathon Rhys Myers, Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor as titans of the Glam era, amalgamations of Iggy Pop, Bowie, Eno, and Marc Bolan, and how their influence helped a generation of alienated ki…

Only Lovers Left Alive or Enter Gloomy Sandman 55:32

3+ y ago55:32

55:32

For February, we're doing a Strangelove series and covering some of our favorite off-beat romantic films. Our first film is Only Lovers Left Alive by Jim Jarmusch, feature Tom Hiddleston in his best Sandman Wig and our queen, Tilda Swinton. So join us as we cover the least vampiric of vampire films as we share our eternal love with you. Learn more …

Bridgerton or Gossip Earl 51:41

3+ y ago51:41

51:41

This episode we watched Bridgerton the new offering from Shondaland. Bridgerton answers the question, what if Jane Austen just took it all the way there? While our take might not be the most academic or thoughtful, it's probably what you would hear from your out of touch, older millennial aunts and aren't you missing that right about now? Learn mor…

Ragnarok or They Might Be Giants 53:11

3+ y ago53:11

53:11

This week we watched the Norwegian series for Netflix, Ragnarok. A young family returns to their idyllic hometown when a young man discovers he has a particular set of skills, especially when he gets around large hammers. Not only that, he also begins to suspect that the rich, extremely attractive family that also happens to own the one company tha…

October Faction or Of Magical Bondage 47:12

3+ y ago47:12

47:12

This episode we cover the series October Faction. On its surface it's a show about a family of monster hunters, and yet, who are the real monsters? You see what we did there? Sadly, October Faction only had one season on Netflix and it was really packed with talent, so another season would have given it a chance to grow. But if you'd like to hear o…

Cursed or Send Me on Nimue 53:22

3+ y ago53:22

53:22

On this episode we watched Cursed. Cursed was adapted from the book by the same name from Thomas Wheeler and Frank Miller who's responsible for everything you've ever liked. Join us as we discuss the important takeaways from this retelling of the Arthurian legend including, suspicious wig work, handsome conflicted villains, medieval hot tubs, and a…

1
Daybreak or The Revenge of Baron Von Triumph 52:05

3+ y ago52:05

52:05

This episode Your Weird Aunts have watched Daybreak, every single episode. Now usually, Netflix lets a series run at least two seasons, but Daybreak only made it one. Sadly, had this apocalyptic teen horror/comedy been released a year later, it might have found an audience that related to the material, but this wasn't the only bit of bad luck this …
