We round out our weeks-long celebration of female horror directors by revisiting a 2022 interview with the great Katt Shea, one of Nicholas Ybarra's favorite filmmakers.
Katt Shea started as an actress and worked her way into the director's chair, starting under the Roger Corman umbrella. Her films Stripped To Kill, Streets, and The Rage: Carrie 2 have all garnered cult-film status. But perhaps her most well-known and memorable film is the sizzling 1992 thriller Poison Ivy, starring Drew Barrymore.
In this in-depth discussion, Shea revisits some of her career highlights and gives us a peek into her creative process as she discusses her recent Netflix film, Rescued By Ruby.

Earlier this month, on September 9th, the legendary stage and screen actor James Earl Jones passed away at the age of 93. Jones made his film debut in 1964 with Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, and continued to grace the screen for nearly 60 more years. Beyond the screen, his brilliance shone on stage, earning him two Tony Awards, and his incredible career culminated in the rare achievement of an EGOT.
Starting with The Great White Hope(1970), where Jones earned his first and only Academy Award nomination for his powerful portrayal of Jack Jefferson.
It's no secret that James Earl Jones possessed one of the greatest voices of all time, lending his voice to some truly iconic characters like Star Wars' iconic villain Darth Vader and Mufasa in Disney's The Lion King.
In this episode, co-hosts Nick and Bella celebrate three of the late actor's memorable performances, from underrated gems to unforgettable blockbusters—James Earl Jones truly did it all!
Next, we take a trip to a galaxy far far away in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) to discuss Jones' legendary voice work as the ultimate cinematic villain, Darth Vader.
And we conclude with Field of Dreams (1989), where we explore his heartfelt performance as Terrence Mann.Plus, our producer Sonja Mereu returns with another fantastic edition of "Sonja’s Movie Minute," this time highlighting Jones’ brilliant performance as Roop in the 1970s romantic comedy Claudine.

Part romantic comedy, part zombie film, Shaun Of The Dead still thrills audiences 20 years after its original release.Second in the trilogy is the pedal-to-the-metal buddy comedy Hot Fuzz, which happens to be Daniel Ott's favorite film of all time. Finally, the most mature and emotional film of the bunch, The World's End, wraps up the trilogy's thematic thread with a wallop of introspection and, of course, some laughs as well.Let us know what your favorite film of the trilogy is!

This week, we conclude our tribute series to the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman. Nick and Bella spotlight three of Hoffman’s most memorable supporting performances.
Philip Seymour Hoffman never needed an exuberant amount of screen time to leave his mark on a film. Often, his supporting roles left as big of an impact as the leading characters.
First up is one of his earliest roles in the Academy Award-winning film Scent Of A Woman. Next, Hoffman lights up the screen with an uncomfortable amount of energy, charisma, and tension in the juicy 1999 mystery The Talented Mr. Ripley. Finally, we get to explore Hoffman's outstanding comedic chops as he portrays Brandt in the cult classic The Big Lebowski.Also, our producer Sonja Mereu discusses one of Philip’s lesser-known films, Pirate Radio (aka The Boat That Rocked).
Please let us know your thoughts on this episode and our entire Philip Seymour Hoffman series.

Continuing our tribute to the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman, this week Nick and Bella spotlight three of the most powerful collaborations between Hoffman and visionary director Paul Thomas Anderson.
Hoffman and Anderson shared a profound friendship and creative bond, built on deep mutual respect, admiration, and a dynamic artistic synergy. Hoffman appeared in five of Anderson’s films, shaping some of his most iconic works and forming one of the most significant director-actor partnerships in modern cinema.
From their five brilliant collaborations, Bella and Nick have selected three standout films showcasing Hoffman’s extraordinary range:
First up is Boogie Nights, where Hoffman plays Scotty J, the kind but awkward and vulnerable crew member in Anderson’s dark, raunchy, and wildly entertaining 70s period piece.
Next, we dive into Magnolia, one of Anderson’s most acclaimed films, with Hoffman delivering a touching performance as Phil, a compassionate hospice caretaker with a heart of gold.
Finally, we arrive at The Master, a masterpiece in both filmmaking and acting. Hoffman shines as an enigmatic cult leader in his final collaboration with Anderson, cementing their remarkable legacy.Also! Our producer Sonja Mereu brings you an incredible and heartwarming edition of Sonja's Movie Minute. In this episode, she reflects on the generational continuation of this creative legacy with Philip Seymour Hoffman's son, Cooper Hoffman, who stars in PTA’s Licorice Pizza.
We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the episode—send us your feedback and enjoy!

Finally, we go back to 1995 for Trey's favorite Denzel film and one of his all-time best performances, as Easy Rawlins in Carl Franklin's neo-noir mystery thriller, Devil in a Blue Dress.Throughout these films, Denzel's remarkable talent and versatility shine as he dominates every scene and proves he can truly do it all.
In this episode, Trey and Bella praise these three cinematic gems, discuss the state of the film industry, and share what our generation (Gen Z) wants to see in theaters.
