  "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma"

  Sep 15, 202636 min

  As Derek takes a week off from the pod, Jeff and Amir return to the eerie world of Jane Schoenbrun with a review of their latest film: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. A Cannes darling that won the Queer Palm at the 2026 festival, Schoenbrun's latest explores the slasher genre, our relationship with horror, and the foundations of human sexual desire. A clap back against the academic distance we put between ourselves and a base enjoyment of guilty pleasure cinema, Camp Miasma dares to say: "If it gets to real you can always turn It off,"

  "Lanterns"

  Aug 29, 202645 min

  Turning our August into an unofficial superheroes month on the podcast, this week we review the new Damon Lindelof-led entry in the DC Universe: Lanterns on HBO. We talk comics, the vision of James Gunn's cinematic world-building, and the star-studded cast of this sneaky superhero series. After a shaky and disappointing Supergirl in theaters, can Lanterns right the ship of DC adaptations? Or is James Gunn's new universe burning up before it even takes off?

  "X-Men '97" Season 2

  Aug 21, 202639 min

  Two years after its surprising first season, X-Men '97 returns to Disney Plus as the series dives straight into what was teased in the 2024 finale: Apocalypse. Can the show follow up its lean, gangbusters debut season with something just as worthwhile? Or will the loss of creator and writer Beau DeMayo spell trouble for this lore-heavy animated series? We discuss the eleventh hour changes, a show without its steward, and what we thought of X-Men '97's turbulent storylines.

  "Spider-Man: Brand New Day"

  Aug 14, 20261h 7m

  Spider-Man: Brand New Day is officially the biggest movie of all time, but does that mean it can shake the doldrums of comic book fatigue and a floundering Marvel Cinematic Universe? Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) aims to bring intimate character drama and street-level fisticuffs back to the Spider-Man franchise for its wildly anticipated fourth entry. Is it successful as a punch in the arm? Tune in and find out.

  "House of the Dragon" Season 3

  Aug 8, 202648 min

  We're back in the land of prestige television with our review of the third season of HBO's House of the Dragon. Just two short episodes before the finale, we check in with Westeros and our differing opinions on this divisive series. Haters, apologist, and ones right down the middle, we discuss the penultimate season's strange structure, its epic bloodletting, and continued palace intrigue. Will it stick the landing? Only time will tell.
