“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.

It’s time to get back to the murky world of “Black Mirror,” this time the hosts dove into the “choose your own adventure” special “Bandersnatch.” James and Giselle played it individually, so they compare and contrast their adventures, discuss this format of storytelling, their intentions and hopes for the main character/player, and what they hope to see with future “choose your own adventure” stories.

Two things that James and Giselle love: Horror and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Naturally it was only a matter of time before they talked about… “The Grudge!” Yes, this week the hosts talk about the 2004 American remake of J-horror classic “Ju-on”, their impressions of the movie then versus now, how the movie has aged, and what makes J-horror unique from other facets of the genre. Oh, and they both do their death rattle impersonation, so fair warning :O
