Our mothers told us never to do this, but if we had to describe 1986’s The Hitcher in one word, we would use the word “mean”. Somehow this one manages to be very violent and simultaneously incredibly restrained. Rutger Hauer gives one of the most menacing performances in this very straightforward thriller that rivals Steven Spielberg’s Duel in its relentlessness. So light up a cigarette and make sure to buckle up too as we break down this cult classic, plus discuss what the Hitcher and penguins have in common, the one unfortunate film in C. Thomas Howell’s filmography, and of course Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel’s infamous scathing review.

The Hitcher (1986) stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rutger Hauer, and C. Thomas Howell. Directed by Robert Harmon.

1989’s The War of the Roses is undeniably a classic. The 2025 remake The Roses, however, is probably not destined for the same fate. Even though the cast shines, the story is lacking a lot of the…well, war of the Roses. It’s worth exactly one watch (preferably on a plane) and not much more. That being said, our episode certainly isn’t a drag, so sign a commitment (not a contract) to listen along as we discuss the film. Topics of discussion also include Mallie’s new fashion accessory, great bleed out spots, celebrity cookbooks, and cucking lemons. All of that and more with special guest David Arnold of the queer horror podcast Fear Coded.

The Roses stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Allison Janney. Directed by Jay Roach.

It was a franchise that critics turned their noses up at and movie snobs rolled their eyes at, but Twilight proved all of them wrong at the box office. When it comes to the movie itself, however, they may have been proven right. A Mormon’s tale of yearning and romance is actually a cautionary tale of gaslighting and abusive behavior. If you loved this one as a teen, you may be surprised at how it plays nearly twenty years later. So grab a beer (regardless of the time of day) and hold on tight, spider monkeys, cause we’re breaking (dawn) this one open as we discuss the film, plus the ghost truck of Forks, Taylor Lautner’s best bit, and Mallie’s live reaction to watching the final fight scene in Breaking Dawn - Part 2 for the first time. All of that and so much more with returning betrothed guests Priscilla Hendry and Ashley Simmons.

Twilight stars Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Robert Pattinson, Jackson Rathbone, and Kristen Stewart. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke.
