You deserve nice things, and if you're a fan of our show, you've got cosmopolitan taste. This week, we're keeping the 2022 A24 horror train rolling along as we jump back to the '70s with a discussion on Ti West's X. Porn, Fleetwood Mac, old people, murder; this one's got it all! So pour yourself a glass of lemonade and slip into bed with as we talk all things X, including how to properly pronounce the title, Kid Cudi's impossible guitar playing, the invention of food, STD rates in nursing homes, and a heck of a lot more, all with returning guest Coby Evans! And remember: you're a fucking sex symbol.X stars Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Kid Cudi, Martin Henderson, Owen Campbell, Stephen Ure, and James Gaylyn.

148 Men
Alex Garland is known for very cerebral, thought-provoking screenplays, and while 2022's Men are both of those things, the film (frustratingly) doesn't seem to commit to anything in particular. That being said, this one has a lot to offer; beautifully haunting atmosphere, a powerhouse performance from Jessie Buckley, and a score that's out of this world. We'll discuss all of that and more, including wine moms drunk at the movies, the horrors of staying at an Airbnb, poor TV placement on furniture, and other seemingly benign topics.Men stars Jessie Buckley, Rory Kinnear, Paapa Essiedu, and Gayle Rankin.

147 The Shape of Things
Hey...you wanna see Paul Rudd's pubes? Well, you've come to the right podcast! That's right, this week we're taking things back to 2003 with the abhorrent The Shape of Things from director Neil LaBute. Never heard of this one and want to watch it? Good luck; the movie has been lost to time, it seems. But don't worry, dear listener; we're here to tell you all about it, and this is one you probably don't need to see. So put on your reversible jackets and grab your Jones Cream Soda because we've got a lot to discuss, including Neil LaBute's apparent issues with women, the problem with art students, and the return of the Dorito's discussion. All of this and more with your hosts Dustin, Mallie, and Jathan, plus returning guest Ashley McGlothren!You can check out Southern Haunts and Oh, That’s a Scary Movie on Apple Podcasts or wherever get your podcasts.The Shape of Things stars Paul Rudd, Rachel Weisz, Gretchen Mol, and Fred Weller.

146 Wishmaster
This week on the program, we're granting the wishes for those of you who want more schlocky horror movies covered on the show. This time it's none other than 1997's Wishmaster. Candyman, Jason, and Freddy all starring in the same flick? Well...sort of. Tune in as Dustin and Nathan choose their words carefully while they discuss the movie, plus the worst name to yell when you're panicking, what defines a "wish", the struggles with becoming a GMILF, and more callbacks than you can shake a stick at. If you can't beat them, burn them, bay-beeee!Wishmaster stars Tammy Lauren, Andrew Divoff, Kane Hodder, Tony Todd, and Robert Englund.

145 There Will Be Blood
If we say we have a great episode for you to kick off your 2023 with, you will agree. While you're out there working on your New Year's resolutions, we'll be in the derricks discussing 2007's There Will Be Blood. It's still (unsurprisingly) one of the greatest films of all time and deserves a rewatch. So lace up your old boots and grab your milkshakes cause we've got a lot to discuss, including the inherent problem twins must have faced in the Old West, debunking dumb fan theories, choosing a side in the battle between this film and No Country for Old Men, and much, much more. Drink it up!There Will be Blood stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor, Ciaran Hinds, Dillon Freasier, Sydney McCallister, David Willis, David Warshofsky, Colton Woodward, Sunday Colleen Foy, and Russell Harvard.

144 Batman Returns
Even though we're officially beyond Christmas, you've still got one last present to open from your friends at The Silver Linings Playlist. What better time than now to discuss the "forbidden" Batman movie? That's right, we're diving into 1992's Batman Returns from Tim Burton. This one's got it all: sleazy Danny DeVito, sexual Michelle Pfeiffer, and a sulking Michael Keaton. What's not to love? Let us fill your void as we discuss all the great moments in this jam-packed episode. Plus, topics on how a certain former president modeled his entire persona after Max Shreck, Mr. Freeze's secret cameo, the McDonalds Happy Meal tie-in fiasco, and much more are all waiting for you.Batman Returns stars Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

143 365 Days
We've covered some bad movies on this show during our 6-year run, but nothing has even come close to this. For the first time ever, we are asking - nay, imploring - you all not to watch this movie before hearing our episode (or even afterwards.) 365 Days is pure, unadulterated garbage, and not just in its poor direction and performances; it sets a dangerous precedent. With all that being said, we do our best to bring you the same energetic, fun, and silly podcast for your listening pleasure. So strap in as we discuss the paper-thin plot, plus why you can't make the beach sexy, AI generated music, getting Zapruder'd with a magic bullet, and a ton more. Again, please don't watch this movie.Warning: this episode covers the topic of sexual assault, Stockholm Syndrome, and other acts of domestic abuse. If you or someone you know is experiencing anything related to these acts, we encourage you to seek help. The National Sexual Assault Hotline can be reached 24/7 at 1-800-656-4673 and the National Domestic Violence Hotline can also be reached 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233.365 Days stars Anna-Maria Sieklucka, Michele Morrone, Bronisław Wrocławski, Otar Saralidze, Magdalena Lamparska, and Natasza Urbańska.

142 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
If you can believe it, this week marks the 20th anniversary of the release of one of the greatest films of all time. We're of course talking about The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers from the great Peter Jackson. What more can be said about this movie that hasn't been said a thousand times over already? Well, apparently, we've got 2 hours’ worth of things to say. So grab your pipe-weed, mount your warg, and ride out with us as we tear into the movie along with discussions about where to put the one F-bomb in each film of the trilogy, Nancy Reagan's role in the film, our thoughts on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 1, and a ton more.The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Liv Tyler, Christopher Lee, Brad Dourif, and Cate Blanchett.

141 A History of Violence
The violence continues in our episode this week, but in a much less glorified way. That's right, we're back in Cronenberg Town as we crack open 2005's A History of Violence. While there's much less body horror to be found in this one as opposed to David Cronenberg's other works, there's still a ton of gruesome acts of...well, violence. So grab a cup of COFFEE! and settle in as returning guest Josh Browning from The VHS Files sits down with Nathan and Dustin to discuss the film, as well as our love for lemon meringue pie (as well as which one of us has never tried it), the pros and cons of 69ing, the Academy Award Winning Suicide Squad (it hurts to even type those words), and a ton more.You can check out The VHS Files on YouTube and Apple Podcasts.A History of Violence stars Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, William Hurt, Ed Harris, Ashton Holmes, Heidi Hayes, Peter MacNeill, Stephen McHattie, and Greg Bryk.

140 The Invisible Man (2020)
How do you make over $140 million at the box office with only $7 million in your budget? You cast Elisabeth Moss against...well, nobody, and you put Leigh Whannell simultaneously in the writer & director's chairs and watch the magic happen - or not happen. This week on the show we're taking a look (or at least trying to) at the 2020 masterpiece that is The Invisible Man. This is the quintessential example for remaking a classic with modern sensibilities. How big can Aldis Hodge's muscles get? What if The Invisible Man has to sneeze? Did they really leave Zeus the dog in this abandoned house for weeks? All of those questions and more are answered here, so slip into something comfortable while Mallie and Dustin talk about their favorite parts of the film, as well as what a $120,000 ladder would look like, the poor man's gourmet buffet, why west facing windows are terrible for your home, and much more. By the way, has anyone seen Nathan?The Invisible Man (2020) stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Elisabeth Moss, Storm Reid, Aldis Hodge, Harriet Dyer, and Michael Dorman.

139 The Fast and the Furious
It's Thanksgiving week, so you know we gotta talk about family. And what better franchise to do so with than the one that is now synonymous with family. That's right, we're of course talking about the one that started it all: The Fast and the Furious from 2001. A Point Break remake that has it all: girls, guns, and a glistening Vin Diesel. So buckle up and injest this episode right into your veins like Nos in a cheap Mitsubishi as Nathan and Dustin discuss everything from the outrageous price for a 6 pack of Corona nowadays, the insane subtitles used on Amazon for the film, the poor decision of naming this drag racing competition "Race Wars", and much much more.The Fast and the Furious stars Jordana Brewster, Rick Yune, Michelle Rodriguez, Paul Walker, and Vin Diesel.

138 Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
There's two things you need to know about our show; we're the king of podcasts, and number two is LOOK OUT, man! This week's episode is none other than the great Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story! No biopic since has been able to shake the comparison to this absolute classic; and for good reason - this movie is perfect and nails the formula in the best possible way. While we try our best to avoid falling into the trap of just quoting and retelling the funniest parts of the movie, buckle up for some insufferable Beatles and Elvis impressions. Much like Dewey reflecting on his entire life throughout the film, we'll reflect on all of the aspects that make this one of the best comedies of all time, as well as fascinating stories about Magic Alex, the worst prank to play with Christmas gifts, Dustin's absolute contempt for musicals, and much, much more.Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story stars John C. Reilly, Jenna Fischer, Raymond J. Barry, Kristen Wiig, Tim Meadows, Harold Ramis, and Chris Parnell.

137 Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Our Spooky Linings month has sadly come to an end, but that doesn't mean the chills and thrills need to as well! So let's discuss a movie with some of our spooky residuals left over: it's 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (also known as Doctor Strange and the American Macguffin.) Kevin Feige lets Sam Raimi shine (for about 7 minutes) in his return to the MCU in this somewhat uneven sequel. Why is Doctor Strange regulated to being a supporting character to every other superhero, even in his own movie? We'll try our best to get to the bottom of it with returning guest John "Houzer" Smith. Plus, getting Michael Stuhlbarg's agent a raise, putting the screenwriter for Saw 3D on blast, Murder, Inc. Strange and the Book of Ashanta, and much, much more await you on the other side of this incursion.Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Rachel McAdams, Michael Stuhlbarg, Julian Hilliard, and Jett Klyne.

136 Halloween Ends
We were lucky this year gave us an extra Monday in October so we could have one final Spooky Linings for the season. And while it's not a film that meets our criteria per se, we couldn't help but squeeze Halloween Ends into the mold. It's the final chapter in the Laurie Strode timeline, and we need to talk about it. So strap in for a huge episode on this very polarizing movie as we discuss a lot of love, including Corey's strange love of milk, Mallie's love for children dying on screen, step-dads that love Step Up, and plenty more with returning guest/Michael Myers protégé JT Kelly. And remember: if you ask for no salt on your fries at McDonalds, they have to make them fresh.Halloween Ends stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, Kyle Richards, James Jude Courtney, Rohan Campbell, and Omar J. Dorsey.

135 Final Destination 2
Psycho ruined showers, Jaws ruined the beach, and this one ruined logging trucks. That's right; we're keeping the 2 train rolling with another sequel to a beloved (maybe?) franchise: it's 2003's Final Destination 2! The hijinks are cranked up to 11, there's plenty of gore, and this one has some of the best laugh-out-loud moments in any horror movie this side of the highway. We'll cover it all, in addition to discussions on being horny for your friend's dad on main, getting rolled back at the Walmart Mortuary, the new scent from Febreze (Pine Trees and Flesh), and a ton of other great stuff, including the return of Mark! All of that and more with returning guests Brandi and Jenn.Final Destination 2 stars Keegan Connor, Jonathan Cherry, A.J. Cook, Ali Larter, David Paetkau, James Kirk, Michael Landes, and Lynda Boyd.

134 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Oh, my kid banana! We're onto the next Spooky Lining entry with 1986's very polarizing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. While the original is a masterpiece in filmmaking, especially for low budget horror, the sequel is...different. Dennis Hopper phoning it in, Cannon Films taking a chainsaw to the runtime, and Tobe Hooper amping up the black comedy to 11 all mixed together like a cosmic gumbo (or in this case chili) to create one of the most bizarre entries in the Leatherface franchise. Dustin and Nathan dissect the film, plus they discuss Dustin's X-Men powers, our lord and savior Tubi, Mike Ehermantraut as Lefty, and a lot, lot more. This movie is...well, nobody knows, but the pod...the pod is family.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 stars Bill Moseley, Bill Johnson, Joe Bob Briggs, Jim Siedow, Kinky Friedman, Dennis Hopper, and Lou Perry.

133 Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
The Spooky Linings keep on rolling, and wouldn't you know it: we're back in familiar territory. It just wouldn't be right if we didn't cover another entry in the Halloween franchise this season, so before Halloween Ends arrives this Thursday, let's go back to when The Boogeyman returned to his throne with 1988's Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. We've got plenty to talk about in this one, including Jamie's addiction to Mountain Dew, Priests Lives Matter, a leather clad Michael Myers cruising the streets of Chicago, and even Dr. Loomis...but with a hat! All of that and more with our guest guy-who-might-have-heard-of-Michael-Myers-before JT Kelly.You can find the legend Bucky the Power Plant Worker on Twitter here.Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers stars Donald Pleasence, Ellie Cornell, Danielle Harris, and Michael Pataki.

132 Hellraiser (1987)
Now that we've gotten the season premiere out of the way, it's time for the best time of the year: the Spooking Linings month! So with the eleventh film (and the first remake) in the franchise on the horizon, let's look back to where it all started with the 1987 original Hellraiser. This movie is a lot, and not in a good way. We're baffled that this franchise has managed to have this much longevity. That being said, we've got plenty to talk about like Julia's incredible sense of fashion, Frank's insatiable appetite for chins, and how the United Kingdom isn't a real place. And of course we play F@#%, Marry, Kill with the Cenobites. All of that and a ton more in our first Spooking Linings episode of 2022 with returning guest JT Kelly.Hellraiser (1987) stars Andrew Robinson, Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, and Sean Chapman.

131 The Wrestler
Season 6 has finally arrived! And while our Aronofsky tradition is starting to come to a close, we've still got (at least) one more to discuss: 2008's The Wrestler. A rough and grimey tale of a past-his-prime wrestler trying to reclaim his former fame is just as a depressing as it sounds, but there's a lot of great topics to discuss, including Colin Duty, bathroom hand soap cologne, New Jersey's inescapability, Mickey Björk, and of course David Arquette: Renaissance Man (this will all make sense once you check out the episode.)The Wrestler stars Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, and Judah Friedlander.

130 The Thing (1982)
We've hinted at it all season long, but in our Season 5 finale, we're going out strong with a film that is absolutely perfect; it's John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982. A tale of paranoia, toxic masculinity, and great facial hair that just feels timeless. Is it Carpenter's best movie? Was Childs assimilated? What happened to Nauls? How many times can we say the words "the Thing" in one episode? We have answers to all of these questions and more in this jam packed episode. Plus, our pitch for a Saturday morning cartoon based on The Thing, remaking this film with the cast of Mean Girls, the wild life of Wilford Brimley, and more are all points of discussion in our final send off of the year before our long hibernation in the arctic.Happy holidays! See you in Season 6.The Thing (1982) stars Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, T.K. Carter, Richard Dysart, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, David Clennon, and Keith David. Directed by John Carpenter.If you enjoy what we do, please subscribe to our show, and leave us a rating and some feedback as well!Like us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterCatch up with us on InstagramJoin the discussion on our subredditBrought to you by HOLY Propaganda
