Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad Valeska Griffiths & Joe Lipsett

Disabled folks who have by default a non-existent to low quality of life? Check. Disabled characters being a burden to loved ones? Check. Magical cures? Check.
2024’s Night Swim is a layer cake of the disability tropes we know and love, so Nichole channels her simmering rage to give a refresher on some of them (since we circle them frequently here on the pod).

Terry and Joe tackle another challenging Cronenberg title with the adaptation of David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly (1993).
Is this the straightest queer film ever? Although Jeremy Irons and John Lone are both doing great work, the film's reticence to engage with its gender, queer, and even political themes frustrates us to no end. By playing this realist and straight (in all senses of the word), the film is a bad marriage of director and material.

The White Ladies in Crisis crew get back to basics with the first of three episodes dedicated to hot, alcoholic, messy, voyeuristic women embroiled in murder mysteries.
Entry 1 is Joe Wright's long delayed adaptation of The Woman in the Window, which finds Amy Adams in unflattering pyjamas and the largest NY apartment we've ever seen, spying on Julianne Moore (or is it Jennifer Jason Leigh?) getting murdered.
Plus: grown-ass men playing boys, twists on twists on twists, a Single White Female sequel, and why Jenn cried twice.

Disability representation in media doesn’t exist in a vacuum because disability is something that can impact anyone at anytime – meaning it is so important to touch on the intersectional points of representation.
Nichole is joined in a discussion of the landmark, but complicated, film Se7en by Hannah Oglivie, host of Fats on Film, a podcast that discusses the representation of plus-sized bodies across all genres of television and film.
We touch on so much in our discussion of Se7en:
> there are some arguably terrible individuals associated with this movie now but wanted to still have this conversation in the hopes that there is a benefit of sharing our thoughts
> how media depictions of disability, weight, gender and sexuality begin to inform our associations and identity from a young age
> how disability and weight are linked to the “religious morality” framework of the Seven Deadly Sins

Joe and Terry return to Twin Peaks to discuss David Lynch's sensational (and incredibly upsetting) prequel film, Fire Walk With Me (1992). C/W: Sexual Assault
How does Terry fare with the cacophony of new characters? How do we feel about the recast actors? And how freaking great is Sheryl Lee in a film that makes the actress go there?
