Check out A Cosmic Void!

 

Subscribe now to the new podcast, A Cosmic Void starring Alex Biggs Small and Jeremiah Perez! Here's a taste of one episode, there's more on the feed and many more to come. This episode is about the Alex Garland instant classic: Ex Machina. We dissect the movie going scene by scene uncovering the themes that run beneath. We discuss the feminist reading of this movie, the allusions to literature and history, and discuss the slightly ahead of it's time presentation of the danger of data mining. And of course we list movies that informed it, as well as movies influenced by it. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Twilight (2008)

Kate Donaldson sits in tonight. We watch a movie about a group of vegetarian vampires (who drink animal blood) move to Washington state to seduce a seventeen year old and play lots of baseball. In the rain. Because they sparkle in the sun *Sigh* We had to watch Twilight.

Hellraiser (1987)

Hellraiser is the story of a man who opens a puzzle box revealing to him the ultimate pleasure, but actually the ultimate pain. It's administered with chain hooks by a guy with pins sticking out of his head. This episode finds the answers of why horror movies are studied, why demons wear sunglasses, and which clubs hire blue grass bands for S&M parties. Let's get started, Satan's-a-waitin.

The Wraith (1986)

A vengeful, handsome spirit dressed in an S&M outfit races the gang responsible for his death.  As he blows them up one by one, you start to wonder, what's with the arm braces he leaves everywhere?  Aaron and Biggs set out to these questions and more. And believe us, Lady Luck left us a lot of questions to answer with this 80's revenge/thriller/sci-fi/drama:  The Wraith.
