This week the hosts talk about the one, the only, Captain Marvel! Yeah! James and Giselle go over the movie, how successfully it ties in as a prequel to the MCU, give a little history on the character Carol Danvers, and discuss how the movie worked with the 1990s setting and early versions of characters (P.S. they kind of love 90s Nick Fury). Oh, by the way the movie is actually about a flerken named Goose.

This week the hosts revisit a movie from their childhood to see whether or not it held up. This movie is the 1956 classic “The Bad Seed.” Who else remembers or has seen this movie?! Anyway, James and Giselle discuss the different elements of the movie as far as which aspects have aged well and which ones are unfortunately rather dated.

It was only a matter of time before the hosts talked about DC’s latest… Aquaman! Buckle up because this week James and Giselle disagree on almost everything concerning this flick, but you know what they did agree on? The unsung hero of the movie, the true and obvious victor of this adventure; Karen! Oh, by the way Karen is the name they gave to the creature Karathen because they couldn’t remember the name. Also there are a lot of *amazing* nautical puns in this episode, so you’re welcome in advance.

Do you like psychological Southern Gothic horror? More importantly do you like movies where Bette Davis wears old dresses and is stuck in a time long since past? Well, you’re in luck because this week the hosts talk about “Hush… Hush Sweet Charlotte.” Yay! James and Giselle dive into this spiritual sequel to “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane,” discuss the story behind the making of this movie, and realize that it may have also been the inspiration to “Death Becomes Her.” Also, make sure to go to IAmHexed.com to check out the Kickstarter to that amazing series!

What kind of fans of the pantheon that is Hollywood and cinema would the hosts be if they didn’t eventually discuss the camp trash dumpster fire classic that is “Mommie Dearest.” Oh, that’s right! It’s time! This week James and Giselle discuss and break down this cult phenomenon along with some “behind the scenes” factoids, their own feelings as to why it has become a cult hit, and the unavoidable fact that despite the movie’s absurdity, it is ultimately based off an upsetting and true story.

“But you ARE, BLANCHE!” That’s right, this week the hosts go delicious vintage and talk about the iconic “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.” James and Giselle discuss the intriguing backstory and feud between its two stars, how that real world relationship undeniably adds to the experience of the movie and affects its story, and how much times have (and haven’t) changed as far as ageism and sexism in Hollywood.

“NOW a warning?!” Not only is this the hosts’ favorite line from this week’s topic, the ever macabre and fabulous “Death Becomes Her,” but also a warning that James and Giselle spend the good majority of this episode quoting the hell out of this movie ;) This week the hosts discuss how well the movie has, ahem, aged, and argue why this movie’s themes are still relevant now. Check it out!

It’s time for another throwback! This week the hosts discuss the 90s slasher classic “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” James and Giselle discuss how well the movie has held up, what made it stand out from other horror movies of the time, and how they would redo the movie now with all the same actors and with random musical numbers. Still playing teenagers, to be clear. They know, it’s brilliant.
