The time has finally come. Will and Jared, with special guest Steven, sit down at a large wooden table by candlelight to discuss the A24 horror film written and directed by Ari Aster: Hereditary!

Is Jared a little too fascinated with this movie? How did Steven fare watching the film after avoiding it out of fear since 2018? Is Ari Aster, like, okay? Did you just hear something? Listen to find out!

You can find the band Swamp on Spotify, Instagram, and Facebook.

The now-defunct Youtube channel we reference is Every Frame A Painting.

Our outro track is "Reborn" by Colin Stetson off the Hereditary Soundtrack.

Folks, have we got a jam packed episode for you this week. Will and Jared sit down to do two Dunes at the same time! We're covering both of Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi adaptations of the hit novel with Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024).

Does the third (forth?) attempt to bring Frank Herbert's beloved-but-batshit novel to the big screen actually work? Does splitting the novel into two films feel satisfying or like a shameless cash grab? Can Jared ever settle on a pronunciation for Villeneuve'? Listen to find out!

NEXT WEEK ON DEBASER: HEREDITARY (2018)!

Will & Jared, avid Godzilla and kaiju stans, are here to discuss the newest film in the Legendary MonterVerse franchise currently topping the box office: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire!

"If you make money from war, you're scum. If you can't make money from podcasting, you're an idiot!"

Will & Jared return to the works of Hayao Miyazaki, and this time they're joined by their good friend Dan, to discuss the Studio Ghibli film Porco Rosso!

This adventurous and romantic film follows the exploits of a World War 1 veteran pilot , who happens to have the head of a pig, as he chases down pirates and avoids the fascist Italian Air Force in the Adriatic Sea alongside his budding young mechanic, Fio.

Why is Porco Rosso an overlooked film in the body of work of Ghibli and Miyazaki? Does this thirty year old animated film hold up to modern standards? Can it hold the attention of children, or should it have committed to being more adult oriented? Was Porco a good movie for someone that sees about three movies a year? Listen to find out!

Jared is sick and Will is out of town for a convention, but it will take more than that to stop Debaser! In a rare solo episode, Jared discusses a film he recently viewed for the first time, Michael Mann's 1999 film The Insider.

Could this big budget Disney biopic be the 1990s version of All The President's Men? Is this Al Pacino's best performance in a lifetime of great performances? Did tobacco company executives know that cigarettes are both addictive and unhealthy? Listen to find out!

A man is found dead outside his home in France, and his wife is on trial for his murder. She claims she is innocent, and that her husband was suicidal. Their son, blinded from an accident at an early age, is the only witness and is unsure who to believe. This is the premise of Anatomy of Fall, the French film (albeit mostly in English!) that has wowed audiences and critics alike.

Is this courtroom drama worthy of the praise it's received? Is the French legal system really this informal? Is the dog the star of the movie?! What do Will & Jared think of the Oscar winners? Can Jared ever remember Jonathan Glazer's name? Listen to find out!
