"Weapons" (2025, Dir: Zach Cregger) w/ Madeline Lane-McKinley
Oh hey! Sorry for the delay, Matt was really busy for a few weeks so we had to take a break. But, hey: we've back, talking with Madeline Lane-McKinley, the author of Solidarity with Children: an Essay Against Adult Sumpremacy, to discuss Weapons, Zach Cregger's horror comedy/suburban Brothers Grimm tale. Topics include, the person of the witch in contempary society, suburban living and the fortress mindset, how cruddy the cops in this movie are, the question of how we are supposed to process Gladys, and Julia Garner's incredible Madonna hair. Madeline's book is available here at a fabulous price. Follow them here! Check out the show on Letterboxd if you're into that thing. Matt is also on there. And got a Bluesky going. Our next episode will be about BENNY'S VIDEO, check it out here if you can handle MH's hard truths.
