W3 M4D3 4 N3W 8357 Fr13ND! It's time to dig into the 2022 sci-fi horror M3GAN, spearheaded by James Wan! There's a lot of talent behind this meme of a movie, including stand-out child actors, unbelievable stunts, and a special effects department that blew us away. Jaime did the research for this one while Eric did the recap, and we had a blast watching this tiny robot's reign of terror.

Content Warnings: parental death, grief and trauma experienced by a kid (portrayed by a very talented child actor), brief body horror, gore, animal death, gaslighting, threat of sexual assault, and child death.  (Listen to the ad break for more details!)

Show Notes: 

WE'RE BACK! It's our first episode of the year and the beginning of SEASON 4 OF HORRORSCOPE (!)  so we decided to kick things off with Brandon Cronenberg's latest sci-fi horror film, Infinity Pool. There's a lot going on here, but the good news is that Mia Goth had fun and so did we.
 
Content Warnings:
Gore, sexual content, nudity, non-consensual sexual contact  (listen to the ad break for context), racism,  anti-Semitism, and bodily fluids (like...all of them)

Show Notes:
“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” Link and context

It's the best and silliest time of the year: let's end 2022 on a dumb note with the 3rd annual Scopies awards! We watched a lot of heavy hitters and more than a few bizarre movies. Get ready for Girlboss of the Year, Biggest Bastard, Most Rewatchable, and more! 

Thank you to everyone for listening and making it a great year!
