#Salò has rightfully earned its reputation, but I found it oddly compelling and (surprisingly) occasionally funny? Make no mistake, though: it's a very difficult watch.

Enormous thanks to @zobowithashotgun.bsky.social for braving this film with us and helping us parse through our feelings on it.
Wipe that shit-eating grin off your face and heed all of the content warnings (seriously), because we're discussing Pier Paolo Pasolini's notorious anti-fascist 1975 film #Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Tagging in for the convo is @zobowithashotgun.bsky.social, co-host of the Tainted Love podcast!

I thought #Keeper was fiiiiiine. Not Perkins' best, but definitely on the weaker side of things. Still, it's fun to see Tatiana Maslany play in his sandbox again.
Don't eat that cake because we are discussing Oz Perkins' second film of 2025, #keeper.

Written by #DangerousAnimals screenwriter Nick Lepard, this two-hander is big on vibes and short on plot, which proves more of an issue for @joelipsett.bsky.social than @tracedthurman.bsky.social

Saw a lot of people shitting on Kristen Bell for this yesterday and it just goes to show that sometimes you should wait a day or two before raging online. Or, you know, just don’t do it at all.
Kristen Bell also very surprised to learn she's Fox News' new Mary Magdalene

Celebrating #Thanksgiving a week early with a #WeirdWednesday screening of #AddamsFamilyValues, a movie I definitely didn’t know was a sequel until I was in high school, YEARS after I had worn out my VHS of this one. 😂

Given today’s @horrorqueers.bsky.social episode on #Salò, it’s pretty wild that this was the first crossword clue I got today. Synchronicity! #Mangia! 😂😂😂

Bet you can guess what I thought of this one. 👀
Tomorrow on the Main Feed: we're tackling our most controversial text *ever* with Pasolini's Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom.

C/W for nearly everything (and we are not kidding around when we say that. Please take the warning seriously)

Finished #HellMotel over the weekend (don't let the title fool you. It's Season 6 of #Slasher. There's even a brief crossover with Season 3!) and enjoyed it for the most part. Better than S1 (The Executioner) and S5 (Ripper), but weaker than S2 (Guilty Party), S3 (Solstice) and S4 (Flesh & Blood).

While I enjoyed season 2 of #TwistedMetal enough, I thought it was a slight step down from Season 1 (main issues: too much schmaltz with the John/Quiet romance & the Mayhem character was *never* as interesting as the show seemed to think she was). Here's hoping a new showrunner can freshen things up
‘Twisted Metal’ Renewed for Season 3 with New Showrunner
Start your engines for more apocalyptic fun, because Peacock has renewed “Twisted Metal” for a third season. David Reed (“The Boys,” “The Magicians”) is boarding the series as showrunner and executive...

Screening Joseph “Father of Phoebe” Cates’ 1965 noir/exploitation hybrid #WhoKilledTeddyBear?, a movie described as a “smorgasbord of Hollywood taboos: voyeurism, pornography, masturbation, incest, child abuse, transvestism, lesbianism, sexual violence and even necrophilia.” 😈

Hey! Ho! Let's go! Hey! Ho! Let's.....steal a dumb white woman's body so we can live forever!

#TheSkeletonKey is so close to being a really good movie, but I confess that I quite enjoyed this rewatch of a film I haven't seen in nearly 15 years.
Lay down a line of protective brick dust and scream "I don't believe!" because we are discussing Iain Softley's 2005 Southern Gothic thriller, #TheSkeletonKey.

I wish I liked Tina Romero's #QueensOfTheDead as much of many of my peers do, but I found this particularly unfunny & lifeless. Not helping matters is that I've seen #Slay, Tubi's "FROM DUSK TILL DAWN with drag queens" horror comedy that covers the same ground as QOTD, albeit much more successfully
Today on Patreon: Grab your glitter paint and cue K$sha's "Blow" because we are discussing Tina Romero's debut feature, #QueensoftheDead (2025).

This gay bar vs zombies film has a great queer cast and a few fun performances, but unfortunately that's where it stops working for us.

So happy to *finally* have one of my favorite John Waters films, #CecilBDemented, on Blu-Ray (certainly my favorite of his post-Hairspray films). #DementedForever #FamilyIsJustAnotherWordForCensorship

Animated PREDATOR films is great? Who knew?! (Me, I should have known).
Today on Patreon: Get ready for a really fucking good time because we're talking over Dan Trachtenberg's PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS.

The anthology features incredible action so expect lots of "ohhhs" and "ahhhs" as we make our way through 3 different stories before arriving at the arena climax.

Love love LOVE #TheWitchesOfEastwick, even if I wish it gave our trio of leading ladies more to do. But hey, Jack Nicholson is quite the scene stealer, ain't he?
Spit out that cherry pit and get ready to meet a horny little devil because we're discussing George Miller's 1987 adaptation of John Updike's satirical feminist(?) novel #TheWitchesOfEastwick!
