So It's Come to This: A Movie Podcast

We are wrapping up Ti West's X film series with "MaXXXine," and it may be our favorite of the trilogy. We talk about how much Mia Goth rules, West's previous movies "X" and "Pearl," and why this throwback mix of '80s Hollywood sleaze, slashers and Giallo had us rooting for Maxine. Listen now.

We're cutting the brakes and watching a previously unknown (to us) thriller from 1994, "Mother's Boys." We talk about how great Jamie Lee Curtis is in a villain role and the movie's mix of art and trash. Listen now.

This week, we're carrying on with 1994's "The Crow." We talk about Brandon Lee's iconic performance, remember Tony Todd, marvel at the movie's visuals and soundtrack, and talk about VHS trailers. Listen now.

This week, we're going out to the ballpark to talk about the 1996 thriller "The Fan." We talk about Tony Scott, Robert De Niro, Wesley Snipes, San Francisco, our love for the Giants and more. Listen now.

This week, we're celebrating Halloween with ... a Halloween movie. We examine the 1981 sequel and why we think it holds its own next to the original classic. Listen now.

This week, we're on a Stephen King trip and checking out the new adaptation of "Salem's Lot" along with the 1987 "A Return to Salem's Lot." We get into how the new one left us cold, and how the '80s sequel (in name only) to the original mini-series, written and directed by Larry Cohen, makes up for a lack of source material with fun vampire-killing action. Listen now.

We're deep into horror movie month, and this week we are catching up with 2022's "Smile." We get into how this horror hit scared us and what we want to see in the sequel. Listen now.

This week, we're taking in the new body-horror film "The Substance." We talk about Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Hollywood and how this movie grossed us out in the best ways. Listen now.

We're getting ready for October by spending time with 1993's "Addams Family Values." We talk about the movie's perfect cast, perfect comedy and truly awful end credits song. Listen now.

We're going to Camp Hope this week with the boys from 1995's "Heavyweights." We talk all about how this nostalgic and still hilarious Disney movie, co-written by Judd Apatow and starring a truly unhinged Ben Stiller, captures the feeling of having the best damn summer of your life. Listen now.
