Let's get psychologically sexy! Terry and Joe unpack David Cronenberg's historical drama featuring a trio of hot leads in Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen. Alas, there's something...lacking about this one. Plus: Knightley's accent, boring stretches, a scene-stealing Vincent Cassel, and an intriguing finale. Overall, however, …

For the month of January, Nichole is chatting about a couple of her favorite horror films from 2024. First up?

For the final episode of 2024, Nichole is going seasonal with 2021’s French horror film, The Advent Calendar - a film that mixes fairy tale or parable vibes with the tried and true enchanted/evil object (think a Monkey’s Paw type story, but make it Christmas!)

It's cold, clinical and kinda fa…
