Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
2026/11/04
Pin on your face mask and grab your Zydrate because we are discussing Darren Lynn Bousman's Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008).
Co-written by Terrance Zdunich, the rock opera about a dystopian future, organ repossession, and blind opera singers is an ambitious swing that doesn't always connect with us, principally because the movie moves so quickly and the songs are too short!
Plus: scene stealers Paris Hilton and Sarah Brightman (!); comparisons to Rocky Horror and Stage Fright (2014); the gender fluidity of Pavi Largo (Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre); our fave songs, and where a potential sequel could go.

Night of the Demons 2 (1994)
2026/10/28
Fill that Super Soaker with holy water and get ready for a little head, tiger, because we're discussing Brian Trenchard-Smith's hilarious straight-to-video sequel Night of the Demons 2 (1994)! C/W: sexual assault.
Join us as we celebrate Halloween with Angela (Amelia Kinkade) at Hull House (and St. Rita's Academy), snakes and all. It's a movie that made Joe exclaim "You don't expect boobs to turn into hands!" Slap it on the poster.
Plus: learning about fellatio, the return of the demonic lipstick, and heaping all of the praise on Jennifer Rhodes' Sister Gloria, who may be our new favorite horror movie character.

Carrie (2013) feat. Phillip Iscove
2026/10/21
Step on the gas because we're are revisiting another Carrie adaptation with Kimberly Peirce's 2013 film.
Joining us for the discussion is Podcast Like It's... co-host and Sleepy Hollow creator Phillip Iscove, who didn't like the film 10+ years ago and still doesn't!
Plus: the lack of queerness in such a heavily queer-made film; the "money shot" scene; praising Portia Doubleday's Chris; and tangents on Richard Kelly and Chloé Zhao.

Bug (2006)
2026/10/14
We saved the best for last as we conclude "Thanks for the Judds," a six-week programming block on Ashley Judd thrillers, with a look at William Friedkin's controversial 2006 adaptation of Tracy Letts' play Bug, which boasts a career-best performance from Judd.
So finish that impromptu tooth extraction and destroy that smoke alarm because we're going all in on this supremely disturbing film (though Friedkin considers it a black comedy!). You'll hear us say it in the episode, but this is a great f*****g movie.
Plus: offering a primer on Tracy Letts, returning to the dreaded F CinemaScore, and heaping all the praise on Judd's iconic "Super Mother Bug" monologue that closes the film.

Twisted (2004)
2026/10/07
Our second-last entry in "Thanks for the Judds" is 2004's Twisted, directed by 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers' Philip Kaufman!
This wannabe Noir/Erotic Thriller was written by female screenwriter Sarah Thorp, and is weirdly judgey and misogynistic when it comes to sex and sexuality.
Plus: a queer-coded Camyrn Manheim; red herrings for every male character; a too-obvious villain; and the return of "Merry Christmas Daddy"!!!
