Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every other Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings - and have some laughs while doing so.

  • Episode 233: I’m Dangerous Tonight (1990) (with David Arnold of Fear Coded)
    Oct 26 2026

    In a first for our show, we’re covering a made-for-TV movie, and we couldn’t have picked a better one to talk about. If you’re feeling scandalous, you could do a lot worse than I’m Dangerous Tonight. Tobe Hooper may be asleep at the wheel directing Natalie Schafer’s final film role, but there’s still a lot to discuss with this one. So put on your finest red dress and make sure you’ve got at least two big bottles of vodka and three gallons of ice cream as we discuss the movie, plus other great moments such as JT getting upset at how dance scenes are filmed in movies, the “gayest space”, how to properly pronounce “Tobe”, and so much more with returning guest David Arnold of Fear Coded.

    You can check out Fear Coded here. You can also check out the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective here.

    I’m Dangerous Tonight stars Mädchen Amick, Corey Parker, Daisy Hall, R. Lee Ermey, Dee Wallace, Natalie Schafer, Mary Frann, Jason Brooks, and Anthony Perkins. Directed by Tobe Hooper.

  • Episode 232: The Mortuary Collection (2019) (with Michael Moss)
    Oct 12 2026

    We haven’t had a Spooky Linings month in quite some time around here, but we do this season, and we’re using it to discuss a very odd anthology film with 2019’s The Mortuary Collection. Interesting visuals and fun setups unfortunately don’t pay off in most of the segments, and there are clear indications of a green director behind most scenes. That being said, there are some genuinely great moments in this movie, so make sure you grab protection and lock your doors as we rip into this one plus discuss such topics as applying for jobs you’re overqualified for, blending meals, the prophecy and etymology of “67”, and confronting our returning guest Michael Moss about the Hamnet trailer.

    The Mortuary Collection stars Barak Hardley, Jacob Elordi, Brennan Murray, Ema Horvath, Michael Bow, Anthony Fontana, and Tristan Byon. Directed by Ryan Spindell.

  • Episode 231: Beau is Afraid (with Brandi Dewberry and Jenn Paulemon)
    Sep 28 2026

    While you may have loved Hereditary and Midsommar, Beau is Afraid was certainly the litmus test for fans of horror master Ari Aster. Is a movie about anxiety, paranoia, guilt, absurdity, and possibly even neurodivergence enough to justify one of A24’s largest blank checks ever? That’s for you to decide. While some of us loved and others did not, there’s no denying the hilarious comedy and stellar production design in this bizarre movie. So make sure you have a bottle of water and a can of paint close by as we join Beau on his outrageous adventure, plus discuss those old D.A.R.E. ads, the bygone era of Moviefone, how Millennials always seem to get blamed for everything, and so much more with returning guests Brandi Dewberry and Jenn Paulemon.

    Beau is Afraid stars Joaquin Phoenix, Patti Lupone, Amy Ryan, Nathan Lane, Kylie Rogers, Denis Ménochet, Parker Posey, Zoe Lister-Jones, Armen Nahapetian, Julia Antonelli, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Richard Kind, Hayley Squires, and Bradley Fisher. Directed by Ari Aster.
