Native American Heritage Month #1 - Do You Want to Build an Igloo? (2025 Full Release)
This is the full release of 2025’s November bonus and spoils the movie Nanook of the North (1922). This proto-”documentary” helped invent documentaries… and also helped invent faking them. The movie vividly portrays elements of Inuit life as it follows “Nanook” and his “family” through many of their traditions and survival tactics. It ultimately raises several questions about authenticity versus narrative— like did Nanook *actually* solo hunt seven polar bears with just a harpoon? Was the family in danger of freezing to death if they didn’t build the igloo in one hour? ARE THOSE EVEN HIS REAL WIVES? Probably not. Did we have a great time watching it anyway? Absolutely.

Spooky Month #3: The Uninvited Cat People (2026 Preview)
This episode spoils Cat People (1942) and The Uninvited (1944). It's spooky season once again, meaning another horror double feature! This October we continue our horror journey with a double feature from the 1940s by watching Val Lewton's atmospheric Cat People (1942) and the haunted-house mystery The Uninvited (1944). As horror evolves from shadowy monsters and gothic spectacle into psychological suspense, supernatural mystery, and things lurking just beyond our line of sight, we discover that sometimes the scariest thing is what we can't quite see.

Spooky Month #2 - The Birth of Monster Movies (2025 Full Release)
This is the full release of 2025’s October bonus and spoils 1931’s Dracula and Frankenstein. It's alive! Or, technically, undead. This episode we spoiled the movies that launched Universal's cinematic Monsters universe which defined what cinematic horror could be.

Hispanic Heritage Month #2 - Identity Theft (2026 Preview)
Abby and Sarah spoil 1945’s La Otra for Hispanic Heritage Month. Deeper into Mexico’s Golden Age of Cinema, this film noir drama has some interesting ideas about what to do when you’re fed up with struggling to make ends meet while your twin sister has a wardrobe to die for.

18th Academy Awards - The Lost Episode
Sarah and Abby spoil the best picture nominees from the 18th Academy Awards, celebrating movies released in 1945 including: Anchors Aweigh, Mildred Pierce, Spellbound, The Bells of St. Mary's and winner: Billy Wilder's The Lost Weekend. We heard you have some postwar trauma in need of treatment. For that, we're going to prescribe a healthy dose of early film noir, some questionable psychiatric therapy, a few raucous song and dance numbers, and a heaping helping of sentimentality. And if none of that works, there's always the bottle.

Hispanic Heritage Month #1: Just Another Normal Movie (2025 Full Release)
Full release of 2025’s September bonus and spoils 1933’s La mujer del puerto (The Woman of the Port). The Hays Code would never have approved of the film picked for our first foray into the beginning of Mexico’s Golden Age of Cinema. The main character of this movie truly cannot catch a break, and this movie certainly doesn't shy away from taboo subjects and shock value.

Abby's Choice - Keep Calm and Carry On An Affair (2026 Preview)
Spoils 1946’s Brief Encounter for the preview of our August 2026 bonus episode. Abby was merciful for her special Host Choice month episode this year and didn’t force a dusty western. Instead, we were treated to a quiet, tragic romance (emphasis on the tragic) about two married people who find themselves unintentionally falling in love.

Abby's Choice - For Jay Cavendish (2025 Full Release)
The full release of 2025’s August bonus spoils the movie Slow West (2015). For Abby’s (not) birthday month, she decided to abuse her power and force us all to make an impossible choice: a choice between two westerns. Some would potentially consider a contemporary western as taking the easy way out-- but the consequences of that decision would weigh heavily on Jake for at least 24 hours after credits rolled.
