Years ago, we excitedly discussed the upcoming remake of Salem’s Lot. It was unclear whether it was going to hit theaters or go straight to streaming, but we could not wait. The release date came and went but the movie never came out. Supposedly, it comes out this October. Do we still care?

The Running Man seems to have gotten lost in the plethora of 1980s action movies. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger at his peak and written by Stephen King, the dystopian sci-fi flick stands apart from the rest of the high octane releases of the time. And yet, no one talks about it. Maybe the upcoming remake directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell will change that.

Skincare story of a beautician who is being stalked sounds like it is either going to be an erotic thriller or a Lifetime movie. It has elements of both, but manages to stand on its own. Thanks to its strong writing, the Elizabeth Banks vehicle is able to take familiar tropes but never feel derivative. It leads to an odd mix of familiarity while providing something new and exciting. Plus, it is all based on a true story.

If only The Exorcism of Saint Patrick was as tightly written. The indie horror fails to set a strong tone and is a confusing watch. Is it a commentary against gay conversion? A supernatural revenge thriller? A story about a man who is losing his faith? In its attempt to try to be all of these things, it ends up being none of them. Can two strong performances overcome the flaws?

Few kids in the 1990s would have believed that Trent Reznor would go on to become an Oscar winning film composer. For some of us, it is even more surprising that Nine Inch Nails will be providing the soundtrack for the next Tron movie. We also talk about a recent casting announcement for Soulm8te.

Where to even begin when talking about Caligula? The stories behind the constantly changing screenplay are interesting. How actors refused huge paydays based on moral grounds is also ironic considering how fast and loose people are willing to play with their principles in Hollywood. The pornography, aftermath, and critical reevaluation are all important parts of the film’s mythos.

Caligula: The Ultimate Cut is an attempt to release the movie as original writer Gore Vidal intended. There is also an additional animated opening sequence and added importance to Helen Mirren’s character. Almost 100 hours of footage were used to give audiences what was intended. How well does it work?

The first red flag is that Vidal's vision does not exist. As soon as director Tinto Brass was brought on, Caligula went through heavy rewrites. Which means the new release is more of the same. Just a whole lot longer. Whether this is a good or bad thing will depend on your initial opinion of the movie. In other words, the latest cut adds nothing.

Just because something is pointless, does that mean it is bad? We once again talk about how even necessary nudity can be superfluous, sex carnivals in ancient Rome, gorgeous set pieces, and over the top performances. Caligula: The Ultimate Cut is something else, but is that something worth watching?

David Lynch is one of our favorite directors. We talk about his recent announcements and look back on some of his films. The Babadook was one of the first horror movies to garner huge internet buzz. It was a “You gotta see this!” that had everyone talking. For its ten year anniversary it will be rereleased in theaters. Will it leave the same impression?

We continue our look at sex and horror with a topic we have never discussed before. Both of this week’s movies claim to deal with sadomasochism. One of them goes too far - but not in the ways you expect. The other does it in a way that makes you wonder why they even mentioned it was a part of the plot.

The Surgeon from 2022 is about a performance artist that gets caught in a S & M love triangle. At least that is what the logline tells you. A better description would be an incomprehensible wanna be psychosexual thriller that throws everything at the audience whether it makes sense or not. Lots of pointless nudity, shocking twists that end up meaning nothing, and characters you will not be sure what to think are just part of one of the worst movies we have ever had on our humble little podcast.

Black Eyed Susan makes much more sense. It is about a man who takes a job test a sex robot whose AI learns through punishment. It is a provocative film that never holds back. It also introduces themes that are important in today’s society whether we want to think about them or not.

The problem is it has good ideas it does nothing with. In a type of story that pretty much requires nudity, when is it too much? How strong of a point can you make when you are literally dehumanizing a character? When is a person so far down on their look you don’t even care to look for them? Black Eyed Susan asks a lot of questions - and many of them are interesting, but do they overcome its glaring faults?
