Possession (1981)

In this episode, Mason and Ethan dive deep into Possession (1981), Andrzej Żuławski’s harrowing masterpiece that remains one of the most polarizing, surreal, and haunting films ever made. A chilling exploration of love, madness, and the supernatural, Possession pushes the boundaries of psychological horror, blending intense performances with nightmarish imagery to create an experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
Starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill, the film centers on a woman whose unraveling marriage leads her into increasingly disturbing and inexplicable actions. Is she simply losing her mind? Or is there something far darker at play? Join Mason and Ethan as they dissect this complex and unsettling classic, unpacking its themes, performances, and the questions that continue to haunt viewers to this day.

Sing Sing

In this episode, Jacob and Ethan talk ‘Sing Sing’, a film that tells the story of a group of men involved in their Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at a maximum security prison. This beautifully touching film sources much of its talent from former incarcerated folks, and many characters in the film are billed as themselves. We highly recommend that you check out this film if you have the chance!
