Finish that whole steak on your fork and keep an eye on that Top 50 list because we're continuing our theme month of doubles and doppelgängers in Daniel Goldhaber's 2018 gem Cam! Tagging in for the conversation is horror author Ariel Powers-Schaub.
Join us as we praise Madeline Brewer's fearless lead performance, as well as the exceptionally authentic screenplay written by Isa Mazzei, who drew upon her own experiences as a sex worker when writing the film.
Plus: clit-destroying Vibatrons, emphasizing the "work" part of sex work and a very insightful lesson on tulpas from our guest.

Black Swan (2010)
Break in your ballet shoes and for God's sake, let this girl climax (!) because we are talking about Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan.
From Natalie Portman's Oscar winning performance to this stacked cast to its immersive handheld camera, Black Swan is a big fave, even if Nina's passivity can be frustrating to watch.
Plus: debate about Thomas' sexual assault, lauding Ryder's profane Beth, sheet cake meltdowns, the desire for perfection, and exquisite mirror work.

Micro Queers: Dr. Caligari (1989)
Pull out your sheep trotters and dance with that giant tongue door because we're discussing Stephen Sayadian's 1989 pseudo-sequel Dr. Caligari!
Join us as we try to piece together just what is going on in this bizarre little movie. From forced transitions to horny cannibals, we don't think the director of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari could have ever foreseen this coming out of his classic silent film. It's wild. It's weird. We can't quite say we'd recommend it, but we certainly won't forget it!
