  Cuckoo (AKA The Episode that Nearly Wasn't) with Justin Jordan

  Jul 17, 20261h 32m

  First Ben had a sudden deadline fall in their lap. Then Emily got sick. But Jeremy decided to soldier on without them! After all, comic writer Justin Jordan was joining the podcast for the first time and we were talking about the really good and very queer horror film Cuckoo. Then, Jeremy's entire neighborhood lost power for a full 12 hours mid-episode. However! Justin was a real trooper and came back to finish talking to Jeremy about Cuckoo in spite of all the many many reasons potentially not to. As a result, the sound is also a little weird and the episode is Frankensteined together from two different recordings. Who's responsible for this? Director: Tilman Singer (Luz) Writers: Tilman Singer Stars: Hunter Schaefer, Dan Stevens, Jessica Henwick, Jan Bluthardt, Marton Csokas, Kalin Morrow Recommendation: Justin -  Eyes of my Mother, Terrified, When Evil Lurks Jeremy - The Guest, Tilman Singer’s Luz Want to learn more about what Justin is up to?
