  IT Chapter One (2017) | Facing Fears, Chosen Family, & Stephen King’s Writing of Women

  Aug 21, 20261h 44mS1

  Hello Club Members, and Happy Friday! This week, we are taking on Andy Muschietti’s blockbuster adaptation of the Stephen King classic: IT Chapter One (2017) ! For being such a big clown fan, Ben isn't entirely sold on this one. Don't get us wrong—the acting and production value are phenomenal, and at its heart, it’s an endearing story about losing innocence, facing trauma, and the power of chosen family. But we have to talk about Stephen King being an absolute freak when it comes to writing female characters... even when they're 11 years old. Tag along as we break down each Loser's individual fears and abusive home lives, that infamous book scene that should have never seen the light of day, and how on earth Henry Bowers walked away without a severe brain injury. If you enjoyed the episode, please take a second to like, follow, leave a review, and share it with your friends and family (or even your local shapeshifting sewer clown, that's none of our business). Don't forget to let us know in the comments: if Pennywise was after you, what fear is he embodying? We’ll be taking a quick break for vacations and birthdays, returning on September 11th , but keep an eye on our socials for plenty of content to keep you company in the meantime!

  The Omen (1976) | Political Corruption, Gaslighting, & 70s Misogyny

  Aug 14, 20261h 49mS1

  Hello Club Members, and Happy Friday! This week, we are diving into Richard Donner’s iconic, satanic-panic, religiously charged classic: The Omen (1976) ! While the movie itself can feel a bit surface-level at times, the underlying political and social commentary cuts deep. We’re breaking down why the Anti-Christ being birthed specifically out of American political power makes total sense; from the very first scene where Robert Thorne lies to his wife, to the birthday party photo-ops where Katherine only holds Damien when the cameras are rolling. We also take a hard look at how the 1970s societal norms leak into the background of this film: everyone gaslighting Katherine to high hell, treating her postpartum depression as a selfish excuse, HIPAA rights being nowhere in sight, and the film's conflicting depiction of women (are women expected to sacrifice themselves for men, or are they just inherently fickle to the Devil?). No (grave) stone will be left unturned!

  Obsession (2026) Incel Behavior, Consent, & Male Entitlement

  Aug 7, 20262h 16mS1

  This week, we are obsessing over Curry Barker’s divisive, horrifying, cultural phenomenon that exposes the subtle, everyday realities of abuse: Obsession (2026) ! We’re breaking down the deeper meaning of the film, examining the real-world implications of how audiences (and men) are reacting to it, and exploring what happens when women’s autonomy is stripped away. Plus, we’re tackling the burning question on everyone’s mind: Did Nikki actually have feelings for Bear?

  The Substance (2024) | Science, Self-Hatred, & the Generational War on Aging (feat. Carina Martin)

  Jul 31, 20262h 10mS1

  Hello Club Members and happy Friday! This week, we are diving into Coralie Fargeat’s hypnotic, bone-crunching body horror masterpiece that exposes the terrifying extremes of modern beauty standards: The Substance (2024) ! We are joined by special guest Carina Martin , a scientist in dermatology, to help us separate actual cell-division facts from Hollywood movie magic. But beyond the wild science and bucketloads of prosthetic blood, this film cuts straight to the bone. We are breaking down the generational beef between Elisabeth and Sue; is Sue the classic Gen Z getting everything handed to her on the back of older generations' labor, or is Elisabeth the ultimate bitter Boomer wrecking the joint, eating garbage, and ruining everything out of pure spite? We unpack how societal pressure turns us into our own worst abusers, forcing our younger selves to literally steal time, vitality, and sanity from our future selves. Plus, we expose Dennis Quaid’s "Harvey" as an explicit stand-in for Harvey Weinstein and the sleazy Hollywood pipeline, and we tackle the surreal meta-irony of Demi Moore delivering a career-defining performance on the horrors of aging... only for Hollywood and real-world Ozempic trends to prove the movie’s thesis right a year later. Please give us a like, follow, and review and share with your friends and family. You can even share it with your friend who is definitely hoarding black-market anti-aging serums in their bathroom cabinet, that's none of our business.

  Hostel (2005) | Torture Porn, Misogyny, and Accidental Anti-Capitalism

  Jul 24, 20262h 4mS1

  Hello Club Members and happy Friday! This week, we are diving into a 2000s staple that thinks it’s doing something profound, but really isn’t: Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino's Hostel (2005)! While the film gets a half-point for inadvertently stumbling into an anti-capitalist critique about wealthy elites commodifying human bodies, any actual meaning is rendered completely null and void. We are breaking down the absolute hypocrisy of two Hollywood millionaires profiting off a movie about human exploitation, and taking a scalpel to the loud, relentless misogyny baked into every frame. From the obnoxious male gaze of the first act to the stark double standard in how female versus male bodies are tortured (including Kana’s tragic ending), we dissect why this "torture porn" artifact fails under any serious analytical lens. It’s bad, it’s hypocritical, and we aren't holding back. Please give us a like, follow, and review and share with your friends and family. You can even share it with your friend who is way too comfortable booking sketchy European backpacker accommodations, that's none of our business.
