Episode 167 Death Becomes Her
August 17, 2020 13:00 - 113 MBIf you were a gay kid in the 90’s, you probably watched Death Becomes Her (1992) multiple times. This macabre dark comedy (our third (and likely final) from director Robert Zemekis) boasts the fabulous cast of Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, and Isabella Rossellini; all of whom deliver brilliant camp-tastic performances. Add to that a terrific script, hilarious special effects, and some brilliant Dick Smith makeup and you’ve got yourself a bonafide queer cult classic. Join us as we d...
Episode 166 Sleepaway Camp
August 10, 2020 13:00 - 72.1 MBFor connoisseurs of the 80’s slasher genre, Sleepaway Camp (1982) is a rare treat. This movie features a cast of potty-mouthed, age-appropriate adolescents who find themselves trapped at a crummy summer camp with a serial killer on the loose. And while the premise might sound achingly familiar, the movie’s final twist obliterates all expectations and leaves the viewer with an indelible, terrifying dread that lasts long after the lights come up. Join us as we dream up some COVID themed movies,...
Episode 165 Speed Racer
August 03, 2020 13:00 - 49.6 MBAfter the success of the Matrix trilogy, the Wachowskis veered hard in the opposite direction and created the family-friendly, candy-colored, sports movie, Speed Racer (2008). Based on the 1960’s anime of the same name, this wrongfully maligned dazzler manages to pack emotional weight, astonishing visuals, and a truth-to-power message into a light-hearted summer popcorn flick that paved the way for today’s modern action fantasies. Join us for an episode that includes Matt’s mom’s strong arms,...
Episode 164 Private Parts
July 27, 2020 13:00 - 51.2 MBIt’s important to note that this week’s movie, Private Parts (1972), is NOT the Howard Stern biopic from 1997. It’s the Paul Bartel directed psychosexual horror/thriller with fetishized sex doll blood play and the narrator from Welcome to Pooh Corner! The movie follows Cheryl (pronounced Chair-el) as she explores her aunt’s peculiar hotel where she encounters its strange denizens and the secrets they may be hiding. And while the movie might occasionally stray into schlocky territory, its uniq...
Episode 163 The Apple
July 20, 2020 13:00 - 50.4 MBWhile it may be called The Apple (1980), this movie is bananas. Set in a dubiously futuristic 1994 and packed with frenzied disco rock songs, this onslaught on the senses batters the viewer with unresolved contradictions, religious imagery, and sexy bodies sloppily hurtling themselves through humongous set pieces. And while the movie would probably like you to side with the fuddy-duddy evangelical hippies, it sure makes doing drugs, having sex, and dressing like a drag queen look awesome. Joi...
Episode 162 A Perfect Getaway
July 13, 2020 13:00 - 49.5 MBSomething about the title of A Perfect Getaway (2009) had Ryan worried that it wasn’t actually going to be one. It turns out, he was right! And the double entendre title is just the beginning when it comes to this movie’s embrace of fun writerly tropes. Featuring a spirited cast and set in lush Kauai, this flick delivers plenty of cheap thrills without sacrificing story and succeeds as solid popcorn entertainment by not striving to be anything more than just that. Join us as we check in with ...
Episode 161 The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant
July 06, 2020 13:00 - 52.2 MBHey kids! Wanna watch a glacial, German, arthouse drama about a manipulative lesbian and her ultimate downfall at the hands of her own desire? Well, you’re in luck because we’re kicking of our 17th season with Ranier Werner Fassbinder’s The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1974)! Artfully filmed in a single room and busting at the seams with suggestive mannequins, outrageous wigs, ludicrous fashion, and solid needle drops, this homosexual dramafest has our names written all over it. Join us as...
Interview With Derek Long
June 29, 2020 13:00 - 25.9 MBSurprise! One year ago we reviewed the under-appreciated Ex Rated favorite, Socket. Today we're bringing you an interview with the star of that film. Derek Long was kind enough to sit down and chat with us about his experience on Socket, his forays into voice acting, and his attitude about sticking it to conservatives on this extra special interview episode of Ex Rated Movies!
Episode 160 The Piano and The Ice Storm
June 22, 2020 13:00 - 115 MBWhile last week’s Wheel Within a Wheel may have been a logistical nightmare, it did result in the fortuitous, yet statistically unlikely combination of The Piano (1993) and The Ice Storm (1997). One is a haunting, hole-filled period polarizer with a brilliant score. The other is a frigid cast-tastic snapshot of WASPy, 70’s Connecticut. What do these films have in common? Why they’re both formative movies from podpal Darren Dewes’ early years! He joins us this week to yack about pee scenes, ch...
Episode 159 Brokeback Mountain
June 15, 2020 13:00 - 68.9 MBBecause this is a movie podcast hosted by two gay men, we are contractually obligated to cover Brokeback Mountain (2005) at some point. So, here it is! Directed by the superb Ang Lee and starring a cadre of hungry, talented youths, this sensual yet melancholy odyssey depicts a homosexual romance during a time and place where physical and emotional expressions between two men were met with scorn and violence. And even though the sex scene, (yes THAT sex scene) doesn’t pass muster, the rest of ...
Episode 158 Timecrimes
June 08, 2020 13:00 - 45.6 MBNacho Vigolando’s Timecrimes (2007) is a well-crafted, tightly-scripted, independent treasure. The whole thing plays out like a time travel version of Rashomon as we follow our protagonist through three iterations of the same hour of one day. Sparse yet stylish, its tense, twisty plot is littered with little rewards while the urgent pacing keeps your attention focused on the present, which is quite an achievement for a time travel movie! Join as we come up with our own time travel script, loo...
Episode 157 Waiting for Guffman
June 01, 2020 13:00 - 51.1 MBConsidering that the central character of Waiting for Guffman (1996) is a closeted gay man played for laughs, it’s remarkable that Matt and Ryan throughly embrace the film. Told in the retroscripted mockumentary style, Christopher Guest stars as the plucky Corky St. Clair who is charged with creating and directing Blaine, Missouri’s sesquicentennial celebratory historical theater production. His cast of enthusiastic amateurs (played by a brilliant cast of comedy professionals) may not have th...
Episode 156 Defending Your Life
May 25, 2020 13:00 - 53.3 MBThe question of what happens to us after we die is a foundational part of the human condition. In Defending Your Life (1991), Albert Brooks imagines an afterlife pitstop that resembles an office park, where recently deceased souls defend less-than-flattering moments from their lives in a courtroom/therapy setting. While romantic comedies aren’t our usual faire, this one stands out due to its strong concept, clever script, and an effortless performance from Meryl Streep. Join us (and our past ...
Episode 155 Darkman
May 18, 2020 13:00 - 49.6 MBHere at Podcast Inc., we strive to deliver the hot, quality pod you’ve come to expect. And this week is no exception as we dig in on Sam Raimi’s underseen gem, Darkman (1990). While it may be a bit corny, and somewhat overshadowed by Raimi’s zany style, this movie captures the struggle of duality inherent in so many superhero movies better than more successful films. With memorable action sequences, fantastic stunts, and a strong, original script, this is simply a great comic book movie that’...
Episode 154 Little Shop of Horrors
May 11, 2020 13:00 - 47.5 MBBased on the stage musical that’s based on the movie, Little Shop of Horrors (1986) is a movie musical like no other. Before gaining worldwide recognition for their work on The Little Mermaid, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken teamed up with Frank Oz and a star-studded 80’s comedy cast to create this spectacular cinematic treat that, through its many virtues, caused Matt’s cold, pedantic heart to melt. How well does the movie grapple with the inequities of late stage capitalism? What would the Ex...
Episode 153 Black Book
May 04, 2020 13:00 - 51.8 MBBuckle in and pay attention because this week, we’ve got a meaty hunk of a movie in the form of the Dutch espionage thriller, Black Book (2006). Carice van Houten stars as a jewish Verheroine using her sexuality to infiltrate the highest levels of the Gestapo in occupied The Hague during the final days of World War II. And while Matt and Ryan might struggle with its geography, this dense, complicated outing from director Paul Verhoeven succeeds with its abundance of moral relativity, plot twi...
Episode 152 The Greasy Strangler
April 27, 2020 13:00 - 47.7 MBIf you can imagine a weathered Napoleon Dynamite, directed by Tim & Eric, and slathered in tasteless John Waters-style shock, you might be close to how The Greasy Strangler (2016) comes across. Overstuffed with unappetizing food, designedly grotesque nudity, and rake-in-the-face repetition comedy, this movie made Matt retroactively nauseous over a meal he’d eaten hours before watching it. We’re several weeks into self-isolation and the cracks are starting to show as we consider the merits of ...
Episode 151 The Phantom Thread
April 20, 2020 13:00 - 51.2 MBBeginning his career with flashy imitations of Scorcese and Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson’s directorial voice has evolved into a confident expression of ideas through tiny details and simple gestures. His most recent film, The Phantom Thread (2017), explores the well-trodden battle-of-the-sexes territory, but deftly avoids convention by tossing in some dom/sub dynamics, a dressmaker with mommy issues, and a poisonous mushroom omelette. A gorgeous score, stellar performances, and sumptuous cine...
Episode 150 Vertigo and The Silence of the Lambs
April 06, 2020 13:00 - 95.7 MBIn defiance of every imaginable odd, we’ve reached our 150th episode. If you bet against this milestone ever happening, and honestly, we don’t blame you, it’s time to pay up because we’re spending our 15th double feature talking about two movies on the semi-verboten AFI 100 list! We forwent our vetos last week as our first spin of the AFI Roulette Wheel landed us the primo picks of Alfie P’s Vertigo (1958) and Johnny D’s The Silence of the Lambs (1991). One’s a colorful, bizarre, expressionis...
Episode 149 Grizzly Man
March 30, 2020 13:00 - 49.8 MBWhether he’s hypnotizing chickens, eating his own shoe, or shrugging off insignificant bullets wounds, Werner Herzog’s reputation as a film legend precedes him. And, while he has created many fiction movies, his cinematic essays are arguably the greatest showcase for his talents. One of his strongest films, Grizzly Man (2005), paints a portrait of Timothy Treadwell, a daring environmentalist who spent several summers living with bears in the Alaskan wilderness. Herzog uses self-shot footage o...
Episode 148 Contagion
March 23, 2020 13:00 - 50.4 MBReversing our brand of not capitalizing on current trends, this week Matt chose a movie that directly relates to the one thing that everyone is talking about! Written by Scott Z. Burns and directed by Steven Soderbergh, Contagion (2011) envisions what a present-day deadly global pandemic might look like. Told from multiple viewpoints and boasting a star-studded cast, this brisk thriller manages to strike the right balance between scientific fact and cinematic spectacle. Join us for an anxious...
Episode 147 Who Framed Roger Rabbit
March 16, 2020 13:00 - 68.1 MBVery few of our favorite movies from childhood hold up when revisited as adults. We believe that Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1987) not only holds up, it deserves to be added to the AFI top 100 list! This movie not only manages to pull off the difficult technical feat of integrating hand drawn animation into the real world, but it also keeps us entertained with memorable characters and a solid noir plot. It is truly an unmatched cinematic achievement. We say hello again to Freddy Molich and Scott...
Episode 146 The Handmaiden
March 09, 2020 13:00 - 51.1 MBWhile we love the guy, it’s important to remember that South Korean cinema is more than just Bong Joon-ho. Take Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden (2016) for example. This inspired adaptation of Sarah Waters’ novel, Fingersmith, succeeds on every level. With its sublime cinematography, surprising plot twists, superb performances, and super hot gay sex to boot, this movie deserves to be remembered as one of the best of the past decade. Join us as we pull out our best British accents, get down wit...
Episode 145 Stories We Tell
March 02, 2020 14:00 - 54.1 MBStories We Tell (2012) is difficult to sum up. In 2007, director Sarah Polley discovered that her father was not her biological father. Ostensibly, this documentary is about that revelation and Polley’s desire to tell the story her own way. However, as the movie progresses, it becomes a poetic and surprising mediation on the fuzziness of memory, the perception of truth, and ultimately life itself. It’s more meta than your average meta documentary and well worth the watch. Join us for a revers...
Episode 144 The House That Jack Built
February 24, 2020 14:00 - 56.2 MBLars von Trier is an extremely polarizing filmmaker. His stunning yet brutal depictions of violence married with heady philosophical nugs, force viewers to question their everyday notions of art, beauty, and humanity. The House That Jack Built (2018) has all the typical components that make up a von Trier film, but adds a layer of self-reflection that challenges our expectations of him as a director and ourselves as movie watchers. Join us for some PETA-approved animal mutilation, a lesson in...
Episode 143 Being John Malkovich
February 17, 2020 14:00 - 55.2 MBRyan’s season of meta movies just wouldn’t be complete without at least one Charlie Kaufman movie! And while Adaptation is probably the more correct choice, he’s chosen the highly absurd yet completely digestible fun nugget, Being John Malkovich (1999). Some highlights from this brilliant piece of cinema include Catherine Keener as the chaotic evil Maxine, Cameron Diaz sporting some OTT hair, and John Malkovich himself dancing Craig’s Dance of Despair and Disillusionment. Nothing but efferves...
Episode 142 We Need to Talk About Kevin
February 10, 2020 14:00 - 49.9 MBWe’ve needed to talk about Lynne Ramsay for a long time. And what better way to do it, than to punish ourselves with her chilling and challenging creation, We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011). Perhaps more poetic than literal, this harrowing dive into the darker reaches of the human psyche succeeds in critiquing modern day America’s mishandling of young, violent boys. And while the subject matter is dour, the movie’s style, tone, and intelligence make it worth a watch. Join us as we slump into...
2020 Oscars Spectacular
February 06, 2020 22:11 - 151 MBThe Academy Awards air February 9th and this year we’re actually releasing our bonus episode about them! The ever gracious Darren Dewes joins us to share his thoughts on the nominees and to petition the Academy to let him become an honorary member. Join us for a martial arts surprise, a cocaine homophone, and a heaping helping of love for The Ice Storm on our 2020 Oscars Spectacular!
Episode 141 Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
February 03, 2020 14:00 - 52.5 MBNothing says “welcome back to our regularly scheduled programming” like a heady meta rumination on death, theater, and Shakespeare’s Hamlet. We’re kicking off Season 15 with Tom Stoppard’s brilliantly witty Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1990). What is death? What if it’s awesome? How good is Ricard Dreyfus in this? How insufferably long is Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet? Why is America so backwards on bidets? What’s the proper lady bits emoji? Questions abound as Ryan kicks off a whole sea...
Mildred Pierce Marathon Part 5
January 27, 2020 14:00 - 23.6 MBWell, we’ve reached the end of our marathon. And like an athlete at the end of an actual marathon, we’re physically tired and emotionally spent. We just also happen to be drunk. As the Exes mention several times throughout the episode, Mildred Pierce (2011) does not have a happy ending. Despite all her efforts to please a persistently ungrateful Veda, Mildred ends up daughterless, penniless, and Bert-ful. It’s enough to make you wanna get stinko. Join us for Part Five, the gloomy yet gratifyi...
Mildred Pierce Marathon Part 4
January 23, 2020 14:00 - 22.4 MBThis Veda-centric episode of Mildred Pierce (2011) is brought to you by Smack O’ Ham’s Ham Scrammers: the hammiest scrammers money can buy! After Veda attempts to extort money from a rich family by feigning pregnancy, Millie P finally kicks her to the curb hoping to teach the little brat a lesson. But the episode ends on a beautiful but somber note when suddenly, after years of musical training, Veda becomes a brilliant and successful coloratura soprano! How will Mildred reconcile the pride, ...
Mildred Pierce Marathon Part 3
January 20, 2020 14:00 - 24.7 MBWho wants chicken and waffles? Sisters are doing for themselves in Part Three of Mildred Pierce (2011) as Mildred’s is open for business and raking in almost fifty bucks a night! And while we’re thrilled to see Millie’s hard work start to pay off, we’re bummed to see the spoils of that work funneled into her bratty little snob goblin, Veda. Their complicated mother/daughter relationship begins to ferment and roil as we talk about some more stunning cinematography, a scandalizing face slap, an...
Mildred Pierce Marathon Part 2
January 16, 2020 14:00 - 26.5 MBPart Two of the Mildred Pierce (2011) miniseries really puts Mildred, and the audience, through the wringer. From the the dizzying high of sloughing off early from your last day of work at a mediocre job to romp with a fruit money playboy on the beach, to the gut-wrenching low of suddenly losing a child (possibly due to your romp with said fruit money playboy), this chapter is a roller coaster of emotion. Join us for some high ties, belted swimsuits, and drama-rama out the wazoo on Part Two o...
Mildred Pierce Marathon Part 1
January 13, 2020 14:00 - 25.7 MBFor our Bonus Content January main course, we’re dishing up five delectable episodes of hot quality pod centered around the Todd Haynes directed miniseries Mildred Pierce (2011). Kate Winslet stars as the titular character who separates from her husband during The Great Depression and is forced to fend for herself and her two daughters. Will Mildred find a job? Will anyone help her along the way?? Will she ever get a new dress??? We cover all this and more on Part One of our Mildred Pierce Ma...
Quick & Dirty 7: Avengers: Endgame
January 09, 2020 14:00 - 17.8 MBDue to a number of factors, our Quick and Dirty on Avengers: Endgame (2019) never saw the light of day. But the gaping, hungry maw of January demands Bonus Content, and therefore we’re releasing it from the Ex Rated Vault! Strap yourselves in for some Chris Evans conflation, a smattering of actual analysis, and a buttload of butt talk on this extra special bonus episode of Ex Rated Movies!
Interview With Matthew Montgomery
January 06, 2020 14:00 - 36.1 MBHere at Ex Rated Movies, January = Bonus Content. Our regularly scheduled programming may be on the back burner but we’re still dishing out that hot quality pod you’ve come to expect. We’re kicking this month/year/decade off with an interview with the multi-talented actor/director/producer Matthew Montgomery! We know him best from Pornography: A Thriller and Socket but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his extensive list of trailblazing queer cinema credentials. Join us for ...
Episode 140 Safe and Carol
December 16, 2019 14:00 - 101 MBTodd Haynes is the best gay American film maker working today. While the majority of his films aren’t overtly homosexual, their themes and subject matters align with the queer sensibilities of longing, isolation, and desire for something more. In honor of this uniquely talented man, we’re digging in on two of his best films, Safe (1995) and Carol (2015). One stars Julianne Moore struggling to find the cure and the cause of her terrifying physical ailments. The other stars Cate Blanchett smold...
Episode 139 High and Low
December 09, 2019 14:00 - 54.9 MBAkira Kurosawa is a cinema titan. His stunning visuals, complex characters, and humanist themes maintain their relevance decades beyond their creation. High and Low (1963) is no exception. By combining a police procedural with a serious class-based moral quandary, Kurosawa has crafted a gripping, 140 minute sensation that never lags and, in fact, often thrills. Join us as we get all giddy over a shareholders meeting, plead for creative yet rudimentary blocking, and seriously discuss a cat who...
Episode 138 Synecdoche, New York
December 02, 2019 14:00 - 53.2 MBSynecdoche, New York (2008) is a glorious rumination on death, life, and everything in between. Using dream logic, meta humor, and abstract poignancy, Charlie Kaufman has crafted a spectacularly dense gem that takes its viewers on an emotional journey through the second half of one man’s life as he strives to reconcile his anxieties surrounding the inevitable. Join as we dive headfirst into a world of irrational projections, teeny tiny little portraits, and coke-colored urine this week on Ex ...
Episode 137 After Hours
November 25, 2019 14:00 - 44.5 MBOn the surface, Martin Scorsese’s After Hours (1985) is the anti Before Sunrise, where romance is annoyingly thwarted at every turn. And while the movie is perfectly enjoyable on this level, it is also a cinematic illustration of unfounded yuppie fears of 1980’s New York bohemia. Join us for a heaping helping of supporting lady love, a potential show pilot where Matt and Katie Couric battle ageism, and a ton of toilet talk this week on Ex Rated Movies!
Episode 136 Sita Sings the Blues
November 18, 2019 14:00 - 51 MBBased on the Ramayana and featuring several musical numbers by the 1930’s jazz singer Annette Hanshaw, Nina Paley’s Sita Sings the Blues (2008) is a dazzling animated treat that you can watch for free whenever you like due to its public domain status. Using various styles of animation, Paley reimagines the ancient Hindu text with a sympathetic slant towards Sita while simultaneously breathing new life into the story by weaving in parallels to her own life. Join us as we prioritize our pets, c...
Episode 135 M*A*S*H
November 11, 2019 14:00 - 55.5 MBFor Veteran’s Day, Matt wanted to pick a movie that didn’t focus on war so much as it celebrated the troops. And while AFI avoidance sticklers may balk, Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H (1970) definitely fits the bill. Celebrated as fresh, bold filmmaking upon its release, the movie has aged relatively well, despite containing some problematic misogyny, racism, homophobia, and football. Join us as we knee-jerk against the boomer rebelliousness, tackle Ryan’s icky feelings towards the theme song, and i...
Quick & Dirty 8: Joker
November 08, 2019 02:30 - 11.6 MBHungry for more Blood? Erik Blood joins Matt for a Quick & Dirty on the divisive Joker.
Episode 134 Wes Craven's New Nightmare
November 04, 2019 14:00 - 52.5 MBTo paraphrase an oft-credited Jay-Z quote, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994) walked so that the Scream franchise could run. And while the film is unfortunately saddled with troubling 90’s styling, cringe-worthy dialogue, and some mediocre acting, the originality of its concept and the solidity of Craven’s direction elevate it to the unique status of probably not good, but respectable. Erik Blood and his titties join us once again to discuss the horror of corded phones, share some earthquake s...
Episode 133 Oculus
October 28, 2019 13:00 - 53.9 MBSpecializing in horror, Mike Flanagan has emerged as one of the genre’s smartest and most terrifying directors of the last decade. And while a movie about a haunted mirror might sound lame on paper, his first major effort, Oculus (2013), is an ambitiously complex exercise in dread, deceit, and dementia that foreshadows the integrity of his present-day work. Join us for some second level tent forts, a quick rundown on the death tax, and a surprising Hello Again reference this week on Ex Rated ...
Episode 132 Candyman
October 21, 2019 13:00 - 51.5 MBTwenty five years before Get Out was released, Candyman (1992) managed to highlight the horror that exists in America’s racial and socio-economic disparities. While perhaps a bit unfocused and problematic by today’s standards, this movie’s excellent cast, sleek cinematography, and uncommon score conjure a mature and captivating spell that still manages to shock and disturb us today. Join us for an episode that includes Matt coming for Shonda Rhimes, Ryan doing some “good” troll work, and a wh...
Episode 131 Christine
October 14, 2019 13:00 - 52.4 MBIt’s October, the scariest month, which means it’s time once again for our annual Schlocktoberfest! We’re kicking off our celebration of all things spooky-ooky with John Carpenter’s lightweight yet underrated Christine (1983). On the surface, this movie is about a haunted car that kills people, but if you pop open the hood, you’ll find threads of repressed homosexuality and anti-materialism that give this well-crafted gem the horsepower it needs to go that extra mile. Join us as we fawn over ...
Episode 130 Toys and Addams Family Values
September 30, 2019 13:00 - 81.3 MBJoan Cusack is a marvel. Whether she’s breathing life into wordless bit parts or adding nuance to scenery-chewing lead roles, to us, she’s got that special ingredient that makes a star. In recognition of her unique talent, and since it’s time for another double feature, we’re smooshing together the flavorful blend of Toys (1992) and Addams Family Values (1993). One’s a beautifully compelling fiasco, the other’s a delightful diptych-fulfilling lark. Together, they’re Back to Back Cusack! Join ...
Episode 129 The Boys in the Band
September 23, 2019 13:00 - 58.6 MBHot stuff coming through! While it may be difficult to stomach and wildly problematic, The Boys in the Band (1970) remains a seminal landmark of queer cinema. William Friedkin’s adaptation of Mart Crowley’s play paints a sympathetic portrait of a group of gay men struggling to manage the hate they must endure, both from society and from themselves, in the pre-Stonewall era. It’s the final episode of Guest Fest 2019 and queer culture maven Matt Baume joins us to compare this movie with Valeria...
Episode 128 Heavenly Creatures
September 16, 2019 13:00 - 53.1 MBPeter Jackson and Fran Walsh earned a screenwriting Academy Award nomination for Heavenly Creatures (1994). Our resident Oscar expert Darren Dewes not only knew that, he also knew the rest of the nominees for pretty much every other category that year! As well as who won!! He joins us this week to talk about Jackson’s heart-wrenching, visually-stunning masterpiece about the real life murder of Honorah Rieper (Parker) by her daughter and her daughter’s friend. Join us as we falsely anticipate ...
