Apply the darkest shade of red lipstick you own because we're discussing Tom Ford's sophomore feature Nocturnal Animals (2016)! Tagging in for the conversation is Trace's better half Ari Drew!
Join us as we discuss the revenge of it all in this somewhat polarizing film. From Amy Adams' unlikable protagonist who often stares off into space to Aaron Taylor-Johnson's poo-on-the-porch sequence, there's a lot to unpack here!
Plus: sassy elevator operators, Laura Linney's bouffant, one incredibly effective jump scare and a controversial opening sequence involving nude, fat dancers.

Carrie (1976)
Tabitha! We're taking Carrie White to the prom with a look at Stephen King's first feature film adaptation: Brian De Palma's 1976 classic, Carrie.
Up for discussion: debate over Carrie as Monster, a satire of religion, our love of Miss Collins, Pino Donaggio's score, and why Trace implores everyone to watch Chris' death scene in the 2013 remake.

Interview: Darren Stein on Carrie & Jawbreaker
In anticipation of our Carrie (1976) episode, we chatted with Jawbreaker writer/director Darren Stein about how De Palma's film influenced his pitch black 1999 high school horror comedy.
Speaking of Jawbreaker, we've got the scoop on what that E! TV series would have looked like! Or maybe you wanna hear about Stein's plans for a film version of the Jawbreaker musical? Or a possible requel in the vein of Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2?! Listen for the tea!
