  • Tank Girl (1995) with special guest Mark J. Parker
    Mar 19 2025

    In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the chaotic, punk-fueled world of Tank Girl (1995)! Based on the cult comic series, this dystopian sci-fi action-comedy follows Lori Petty as the rebellious, tank-driving heroine taking on a corrupt megacorporation in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With wild visuals, a killer soundtrack, and a supporting cast that includes Naomi Watts, Ice-T as a mutant kangaroo, and Malcolm McDowell as the villainous Kesslee, Tank Girl is an anarchic ride like no other. We’ll explore the film’s production, its reception, and why it remains a beloved cult classic. Grab your water rations and buckle up—it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

    Mar 5 2025

    What if something was always coming for you—slow, steady, and unstoppable? This week, we’re breaking down It Follows (2014), David Robert Mitchell’s haunting take on supernatural horror. With its eerie, synth-heavy score by Disasterpeace, unsettling cinematography, and a relentless entity that never stops moving, this film has cemented itself as one of the most chilling horror movies of the 2010s.


    We’ll dive into its deeper themes of mortality, trauma, and the inescapable nature of fear, plus discuss the film’s unique visual style and ambiguous, dreamlike atmosphere. So, would you be able to stay ahead of the curse? Tune in as we try to outrun It Follows!
