Erotic Culinary Roller Therapy

      This week a pair of 2018 dramas directed, written, and starring women.

     Camille lives with her protective single mother. After an injury, she swears never to skateboard again. At least, never until a female skater collective she follows on Instagram has a meeting and she decides to go. Will she find what she's looking for with Skate Kitchen?
     Winner of the Golden Bear at Berlin International Film Festival. A metafictional meditation on intimacy in all of its modes or a pseudo-intellectual prattling covering up pointing and laughing? A tender examination of the diversity of intimacy or fatuous and shallow reinforcement of Euro-hardcore clichés that rival the 50s Shades series? Yes. Touch Me Not.
     All that and Dave doesn't get an emerging trend, Kevin gets snobby with it, and Tyler subtly auditions for a job hyping HBOMax. Join us, won't you?

Hungry Captive Homicidal Sacrificed Vampire Women In The Celluloid Jungle

     OCTOBER HORROR WEEK 2! This week we celebrate women directors in the genre with a five pack of scary flicks.

    A coward sent to a post in exile will soon learn of new dietary regimen that grants remarkable powers and incredible health benefits but comes with a heavy price. The inhabitants of Antonia Bird's fort aren't just peckish but totally Ravenous.
    A serial killing taxi driver takes in a new pet. As the years pass he decides to mold the child into being his protégée. Will Rabbit follow this dark path or will he find salvation from Jennifer Lynch's Chained nightmares?
    Unfairly maligned on release but recently receiving a complete reassessment, Karyn Kusama's dark comedy in finding a very receptive cult. Taking initiative at a gig in a small town, a mediocre band sacrifices Needy's best friend to the legions of Hell. Things take a turn when she reappears with a craving for male classmates. What is Needy to do with Jennifer's Body?
    One of the best vampire films ever made. Caleb discovers the night life when his too aggressive flirting gets him a small neck wound. Taken by a group of nomadic killers, with his father and younger sister on their trail, and forced to choose between love and eternal night or a worse fate. Kathryn Bigelow shows us what happens Near Dark
    All that and Kevin schemes, Tyler gets hyped, Dave has senile lapses, and Anna finally uncovers the true mystery hiding in this idyllic town. Join us, won't you?
