Bryan and Joe are finally delivering on their promise to check out Midian Unmade: Tales of Clive Barker's Nightbreed, edited by Joseph Nassise and Del Howison.

Bryan and Joe return to tackle Clive Barker's Books of Blood Vol. 5. It has four longer stories, but at least two of the four are distinctly less Barker-y. We spend most of our time on The Madonna (Joe's fave), Babel's Children (the rare political satire), and In The Flesh, which Bryan and Joe have differing interpretations of.

Change your name and call your sister because Gena, Jenn and Joe are discussing Sean Durkin's feature directorial debut, Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011). C/W: rape.

This Lynch-directed episode has plenty of musicality and comedy, as well as the most harrowing scene Joe has ever seen on network television.

Terry and Joe are back on the Lynch/Twin Peaks beat as they catch-up on the first two episodes of season two. There's *a lot* of exposition, characters and awkwardly handled tonal changes in these first two episodes that keeps Terry at a distance as a first time viewer. Plus: the show's treatment of women, James Hurley: Singer, Lynch's superior direction, and Terry's continued love of the background at the Great Northern.
