Jacob Learns About Marty
WIth VENOM: THE LAST DANCE coming out, we decide to class up the joint. I introduce our guest, Jacob Throneberry, to an underappreciated Martin Scorsese movie, SHUTTER ISLAND!
Even though Scorsese is "not for him" could this be the one that turns the tide?
Greed is not good
Another film festival darling, ANORA, comes out to more and more people today! Due to that, we take a look at sex work on film, featuring the Criterion Collection's own, RISKY BUSINESS1
It all comes to this!
SATURDAY NIGHT is finally coming out for us non film festival folks. Can it possibly live it to the grandeur and history of Saturday Night Live? Probably not, but it will be fun to see them try!
Joker Stinks, But This Doesn't
Look, JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX may be petrified to call itself a musical, but here at Pop Culture Case Study, we are afraid of nothing! We take a look at Freud and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. And this episode is chock full of music!

LEE comes out this week to little fanfare. But hey, how bad can it be? Kate Winslet! Ummmm, well it's not great. But it did give us an opportunity to check a movie off of our watchlist!
America's Dad is Kind of Mean

Tony Scott Forever
We have finally reached peak nostalgia. Michael Keaton has agreed to put on more hideous makeup for BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE. Will it be any good? Does it matter? Who knows. But you know what is good?
Men are the worst
Another massive release this week (jk) in AfrAId. Look, we love you John Cho, but please, someone get this perfect man a great script. This one is not looking great. BUT! Let's talk about a really good movie about AI. No, not AI, we are talking EX MACHINA.
Marriage is Hell
BLINK TWICE comes out this week! Did anyone even know this? Anyway, it looks pretty good. But more importantly, it made me think of a great flick, READY OR NOT. To talk about this (and familial manipulation), we bring on Joanna from the excellent (and soon to return
