We Recommend: A Movie Podcast

Send us some fan mail!Thank you William for the great recommendation!A movie can look like a simple mob thriller and still be a personal scream from the director, and The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is the best reminder we’ve had in a long time. We’d never seen it before, and once we started comparing the 1976 theatrical cut with John Cassavetes’ 1978 director’s cut, it felt like we were watching two different films made from the same raw nerve. One leans into a tighter neo-noir crime story, the other drifts into slice-of-life discomfort that makes everything feel more real.We would love to hear from you!

Send us some fan mail!Michael Myers is back, the town is jumpy, and I’m doing something risky: a raw, mostly unedited commentary track for Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers. Jason couldn’t make it, so it’s just me, a timestamped watch-along vibe, and a lot of honest reactions to a sequel I still have a soft spot for. If you’ve ever wanted a Halloween 4 rewatch that feels like hanging out with a movie-obsessed friend who pauses to blurt out trivia, this one’s for you.We would love to hear from you!

Send us some fan mail!A furniture store basement should not feel like the edge of reality, but Backrooms makes that simple idea absolutely wrecking. We’re Jesse and Jason, and we go deep on why liminal spaces hit a nerve, how the fluorescent hum and endless yellow rooms mess with your brain, and why this A24 horror movie kept us locked in, fist-bump terrified.We would love to hear from you!

Send us some fan mail!One bad wish can turn “romance” into something monstrous. Dakota joins me this week, and we’re unpacking Obsession (2025), the microbudget horror movie that somehow feels huge, not because of spectacle, but because it understands a very real fear: being trapped with someone who wants you more than they care about you.We would love to hear from you!
