Check your watch you little ignoramus because we're talking Peter Weir's seminal Australian mystery Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975).

Join us as we dive into this mythic piece of "true" crime from the bush, with an unsolved mystery that still perplexes people to this very day. Add in some repressed lesbianism and some hauntingly ethereal vibes for good measure, of course.

Plus: pan flutes galore, gorgeous crimson cloaks, and why book author Joan Lindsay is a massive troll.

Beware of circles and phallic surfboards because we're talking Robert Lee King's adaptation of Charles Busch's stage play Psycho Beach Party (2000) for its 25th anniversary!

Lead by HQ fave Lauren Ambrose, this homage to sexual repression, Gidget and beach/surf movies is very silly, very queer, and very fun.

Plus: a primer on the origin of "teen films", the stacked cast, Swedish accents, and constipation = apprehension about bottoming?

Swallow that octopus and run away from those ants because we're discussing Park Chan-wook's 2003 masterpiece Oldboy!

Join us as we discuss the origins of Oldboy, from its manga source material to the changes Park applied to this adaptation, before going all in on this spider's web of a revenge plot. It's a film known for its big twist, but there's so much more to appreciate here!

Plus: that hallway fight scene, Manic Pixie Sushi Dream Girls, questionable CGI, death by CD-ROM, hypnosis as a plot convenience (but who cares?) and debating whether or not this is a "film bro" movie.

Assemble your spear and follow the fly in the box because we're discussing Dario Argento's 1985 giallo fairytale, Phenomena.

Starring Jennifer Connelly, Donald Pleasence and Argento's frequent collaborator, Daria Nicolodi, this movie is wild (seriously: take a shot every time we say the word). From questionable disability representation to a Friday the 13th-inspired climax, from chimps to bugs, Phenomena kinda has it all.

Plus: Trace tackles the multiple cuts, Joe's fantasy double bill, a "sleepy" Connelly, maggot baptisms, and debate about who committed the murders and why.

Check the temperature of that pizza and close the damn refrigerator because we're finally (finally!) discussing the female-written and female-directed 1982 slashic The Slumber Party Massacre. Tagging in for the conversation is Dana Piccoli!

Join us as we go all in on this Frankenstein's monster of a slasher film that showcases some feminist themes, while courting to Roger Corman's demands of boobs, butts and blood. That it all began with a parody script from noted queer feminist Rita Mae Brown makes it all the more interesting!

Plus: P.E. representation (huh?), comedic match cuts, gratuitous shower scenes, debating Courtney's intended age, and #JusticeForCoachJana.

Show your tits and grab that scythe because we're talking our very first Jean Rollin text: 1979's Fascination.

The lesbian vampire film is gorgeous and dreamy with several subversive twists, including the fact that this is not actually a vampire movie.

Plus: women in control, a truly shitty man, sheer veils, connections to porn and struggling with the feminist/class readings.
