This week we’re talking about Companion (2025). Drew Hancock’s darkly comic thriller is a pleasant January surprise for movie fans. We give our general thoughts at the start of the episode before getting into spoilers. This movie has plenty of twists and turns so go into Companion knowing as little as possible and we think you’ll have a great time! Once you’ve seen the movie, come back and listen to us chat about the movie’s story, the actors’ great performances, and some of our favorite moments in Companion.

Lights, Camera, Action! Jump back on set with us as we chat about movies about movies for this week's episode. We take a time machine back to the year 2000 to debrief E. Elias Merhige's "Shadow of the Vampire," which reenvisions the behind-the-scenes of the original 1922 "Nosferatu" with Willem Dafoe playing a real-life vampire employed by F. W. Murnau (played by John Malkovich) to create the most realistic movie possible, and David Mamet's "State and Main," which follows a Hollywood film crew trying to film in rural Vermont and features a clash of these cultures and an expose of the dark side of Hollywood. Join us for 'State and Madow of the Vampire'!

On Episode 9.5 of the show we’re discussing Nobuhiko Obayashi’s cult classic House. This haunted house horror comedy is absolutely bananas. Obayashi’s experimental filmmaking makes this one of the most unique and fun cinematic experiences anyone could hope to see. We also discuss the film’s memorable kills and its parallels with the slasher subgenre. Everyone hide your watermelons and join us as we gush about House.
