25 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

29 - GoodFellas (1990)

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to talk about the complicated relationship to masculinity and community with Martin Scorsese’s 1990 blockbuster, GoodFellas. And here it is! Our first fan-requested film, we dive into what makes GoodFellas a “man” film and discuss whether or not that is a bad thing or what it even means in the first place. Socials: @watchingoutloud

28 - Maxxxine (2024)

What we need is some divine intervention, and that’s exactly what Maxxxine delivers. This week we’re wrapping up the Ti West X trilogy with our star, Maxine, finally getting what she deserves: the Hollywood spotlight. This film takes all those slasher horror tropes and repackages them for a final girl that is anything but a victim. She’s the fucking movie star of our dreams 🤩 Socials: @watchingoutloud

27 - Pearl (2022)

We don’t care what anyone says, Pearl IS a star! The prequel to X, this second film in the Ti West’s trilogy gives horror a technicolor makeover. Another ode to film and a girl’s longing for love and acceptance through stardom, this film changes the discussion around female sexuality in the horror genre. If a girl can’t have love and sex, then can we really blame her for becoming murderous? Who’s to say? We say, you listen! Socials: @watchingoutloud

26 - X (2022)

We’re following up The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the first of Ti West’s scream queen trilogy, X (2022). Starring Mia Goth and paying homage to TCM and the 1970s slasher flick, we look at how the X rating and the rise of pornography coincides with the value of women’s looks as society wonders what could be more horrifying than a woman that has aged, gasp!

25 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

Season 2 is here, kittens! We’re yapping about Tobe Hooper’s film that revolutionized the horror genre forever: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This season, we’re Leatherface apologists as we discuss a disillusioned America the dying working class. What fun! Socials: @watchingoutloud
