We roll right into 2026 - or do we?! - as we cover the psychological horror Black Swan.

This episode may just end up being a figment of your imagination, but the looks are totally worth it.
It's a night of 1,000 Natalie Portmans!

The relationship between Gemma and M3gan is one of the most interesting parts of this movie, do you agree with Merrilee's potential queer reading?

It's time to wrap up the holiday-adjacent horror we've been in all Dollcember long with the instantly campy M3GAN.

She's stylish, caring, enigmatic, and together we dance along to this final entry in the year.

One of the really neat things about this movie for our conversation is the sheer amount of toys in it- perfect for Dollcember!

Would not want to be invited to this tea party, though.

Part of what works with Living Doll is how large and intimidating our main character finds Talky Tina.
If he's scared, we're scared!

Four out of four podcasters agree, the scene where Karen confronts Chucky for the first time is one of the best scenes in the movie
(The ghost of Ronald Reagan was unavailable to comment but we hate that guy anyway)

We're kicking Dollcember off with the iconic film, Child's Play.

Luckily, we recruited our own good guy, @derekbgayle.bsky.social, as we discuss unfortunate voodoo plotlines and enjoy a tub of Country Crock.
