It’s maybe our least favorite day of the year as we’re reminded of a truly embarrassing stain on our nation’s history, so it seems only appropriate to discuss a movie that focuses on similar themes in a microcosm. 2022’s Soft & Quiet had a release that was, unfortunately, true to its name. With that being said, we’re hoping this episode will bring more people around to this fantastic (albeit incredibly triggering and uncomfortable to watch) film. So grab a big slice of pie and a glass of $300 wine as we’re discussing the logical fallacies of the characters’ ideologies, the best Blumhouse movie, not knowing what our neighbors’ names are, and much more with returning guest Priscilla Hendry.

Soft & Quiet stars Stefanie Estes, Olivia Luccardi, Eleanore Pienta, Dana Millican, Melissa Paulo, Jon Beavers, Cissy Ly, Rebekah Wiggins, and Shannon Mahoney. Directed by Beth de Araújo.

To cap off a pretty violent year, we’re talking about a pretty violent film with the mother of all death game movies – 2000’s Battle Royale. It was The Hunger Games before The Hunger Games that cemented itself as one of the most influential films of the aughts and beyond. If you still haven’t seen it, make that correction then change into your school uniform and grab your randomly assigned weapon as we’re talking about the problem with soju (it’s too good), our strategies for beating the game, the madness of the 2023 documentary The Contestant, and so much more in this jam-packed episode.

Battle Royale stars Tatsuya Fujiwara, Aki Maeda, Tarō Yamamoto, Chiaki Kuriyama, Kou Shibasaki, Masanobu Andō, and Beat Takeshi. Directed by Kinji Fukasaku.

Ho, ho, fuck: it’s our Christmas episode of 2024, and with how dour things seemed to be this year, we could think of no better movie to discuss this week than the OG Black Christmas from Bob Clark. This small hazy and eerie horror flick bridged the gap from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho to John Carpenter’s Halloween that solidified the slasher genre for decades to come – and it’s still just as good 50 years later. So put on your comfiest sweater and grab your toilet wine cause we’re discussing our favorite Christmas songs, the oddity that is Christmas caroling, and the continuing adventures of Peppermint and Jingle Jangle with returning guest Ashley McGlothren. Plus, Dustin’s truly insane Christmas parade story. Happy holidays, you creeps!

Black Christmas (1974) stars Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, and John Saxon. Directed by Bob Clark.
