Blamison dig into the Psycho franchise to uncover the actual heart of the whole series: Anthony Perkins. We analyze the original film, 2-4 and the 1998 remake by Gus van Sant in order to breakdown what makes this story so intriguing and how the trajectory of the series actually parallels David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy.

Also talked about: what horror we have seen recently, what we are doing with our families on Halloween, and general bullshit.

Blamison talk with the man, the myth, the legend, Demetrius Sanders, about Oz Perkins' most recent offering, Longlegs (2024). We dig into how the film is set up as a crime procedural and subverts it in just about every way imaginable. We dig into the "brain" of the dolls and its links to Phantasm because why not? All in all, we dissect all of the ways that Longlegs works thematically and technically. So join us for this enthralling discussion.

Other things talked about: Aliens, mythmaking, and Marshall McLuhan.

On this episode, Blamison talk about Nepo-baby Osgood Perkins' third feature film, Gretel & Hansel. Of course, we talk about its occult geometries, the consumptive critique of society and just how damn good this movie ultimately is. This movie is primed to be Perkins' most accessible film and yet the marketing is botched by Orion. Go figure.

Also talked about: nepotism, Perkins' obsession with young women, and more parenting bullshit.
