You might tell fairly quickly that we're all a bit sad at this one.

Liliana Cavani's THE NIGHT PORTER makes you ask certain questions. Makes you feel certain things. Makes you feel awful.

Equally bleak. Equally grim. Equally sad.

Yeah, "sad" is the word of the day. You won't enjoy yourself unless you like the idea of seeing a version of this with an "ALL PUPPET CAST" to give us some well-needed levity. We're joined, once again, by Josh from Uncomfortable Brunch!

Writing this blurb is difficult. I've tried rewriting it at least three times, and I'm at the point of failing to explain myself, my partner, and the guy who's putting the film on at Sunray Cinema in Tampa on Saturday, January 17th, 2026, as part of Uncomfortable Brunch! We should all be disgusted with ourselves for enjoying it. Speaking of Uncomfortable Brunch, friend of the podcast Josh Martin joins us for this discussion!

A film by Todd Rohal (anyone familiar with his work will know how messed up it is) and based on the comic by alternative cartoonist Johnny Ryan, this is a dark, mean-spirited comedy about a young man's mother meeting a woman and her child, and what ensues is carnage. Utter, utter carnage.

Hold onto your seats with your clammy palms, my friends, this is a "bumpy" ride that is definitely for ADULTS ONLY!

Happy New Year, Geeks!

What better way to start the New Year than with the neo-noir, psychological thriller by master Guillermo Del Toro: NIGHTMARE ALLEY.

Based on the novel of the same name from 1946, this is a new adaptation of the source material. And Bradley Cooper is actually good! Ha!
