I've been trying to watch 52 films directed by women every year since 2017

Here's a list to my collection of lists on Letterboxd showing what I watched each year. Ratings and reviews are often mood-based, so don't let my depression reactions color your opinions 😅

This is it, friends! The final day of HubrisWeen is upon us!

We’ve got a treat for you all! Z is for the delightful “alien woman vs rubber-suit monster” flick “Zeiram”!

(It’s nice to end on a positive note. Z can be a rough letter 😅)

megaphonic.fm/hubrisween/2...
2024Z. Zeiram. | HubrisWeen!
The deadly monster Zeiram (1991) is on its way to Earth, and only 2 intergalactic bounty hunters can save us… if the local goobers can stop getting in the way.

Still with us? Starting to think that maybe "You Should Have Left"?

By the time you find a note that says You Should Have Left (2020), it’s already too late.

U is for “The Undying Monster”

2024U. The Undying Monster. | HubrisWeen!
What do you do when another studio has a hit werewolf film? If you’re 20th Century Fox, you dig up the rights to The Undying Monster (1942) and kit-bash it into a cash-in.

Today’s movie hails from the golden age of movie rental stores! “Remote Control” is firmly rooted in the 80s, the 50s, and the future from the 50s

megaphonic.fm/hubrisween/2...
2024R. Remote Control. | HubrisWeen!
People have long claimed that television rots brains, but it’s much worse than that with Remote Control (1988).

We’re planning to do a wrap up episode for HubrisWeen. If you have any questions for us about the event, the lineup, our tastes, particular films, etc.—we’d love to get those and answer in that episode!

Just ask in the thread!

Today’s HubrisWeen selection is “The Quatermass Conclusion” from 1979. As the title suggests, it’s the final adventure for the cantankerous professor, so who’ll save us now?

megaphonic.fm/hubrisween/2...
2024Q. The Quatermass Conclusion. | HubrisWeen!

P is for “Pearl” (2022) and whatever you felt about “X” (2022) this is its own movie

2024P. Pearl. | HubrisWeen!
There’s no place like home, especially if you’ve filled it with corpses like Pearl (2022) did.

What's our choice for O? Open "The Oblong Box" and find out!

megaphonic.fm/hubrisween/2...
2024O. The Oblong Box. | HubrisWeen!
An Edgar Allan Poe movie from the 1960s, starring Vincent Price! It’s not part of the Corman cycle, and if you accept that you might enjoy opening The Oblong Box (1969).

N is for “Night of Dark Shadows”

Don’t worry if you never watched the “Dark Shadows” show it’s based on. It really has no relation 😅

megaphonic.fm/hubrisween/2...
2024N. Night of Dark Shadows. | HubrisWeen!
Once there was a show, and people liked it. Then there was a movie, and people liked that. Then there was an immediate followup to that movie, and maybe they should have worked on the script for Night...

Nearly every word of today's film's title is true.

J is for "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter"

megaphonic.fm/hubrisween/2...
2024J. Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter. | HubrisWeen!
What happens when a famous outlaw encounters the descendant of a famous mad scientist? When Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter (1966), sparks fly! Also bullets. Probably some furniture, too.
