    Episode 24: Winona Ryder with Soraya Roberts
    Dec 16 2025
    I spoke with culture writer Soraya Roberts about the hyper-literate, captivating Queen of Gen X cool Winona Ryder. We spoke about Winona's incredible run from the late 80s to the late 90s, her tricky transition into more adult roles, the meta quality of her current work, and more.

    Episode 23: Sitges 2025
    Nov 25 2025
    I took the opportunity during my third time at Sitges Film Festival to chat with some fine people who came to this gargantuan annual celebration of horror. You'll hear from film professor Alison Peirse and film journalist Daniela Urzola who were on Sitges juries (different juries, there are quite a few at this fest), genre filmmakers Arianne Hinz and Avalon Fast as well as film programmers Sabina Pujol and Sara Neidorf, who is also the co-director of Final Girls Berlin with me. I hope this gives you a glimpse of what being at the largest genre film festival in the world is like and that it motivates you to go in the future!Show Notes:Alison Pierse’s WebsiteAlison Pierse’s InstagramDoing Women’s Global Horror Film HistoryDaniela Urzola’s InstagramDaniela Urzola’s LetterboxdArianne Hinz’s WebsiteArianne Hinz’s InstagramAvalon Fast’s WebsiteAvalon Fast’s InstagramSabina Pujol’s InstagramB-Retina Film FestivalFilmetsCryptshow FestSara Neidorf’s WebsiteSara Neidorf’s InstagramMellowdeath BandcampWeapons (2025)The Monkey (2025)Barbarian (2022)House of Psychotic Women Kier-La Janisse1000 Women in Horror (2025)Zodiac Killer Project (2025)Catherine GrantBeyond Clueless (2014)Doing Women’s Film HistoryThe ‘Burbs (1989)Piranha (1978)The Fog (1980)Nancy LoomisJoe DantePicnic At Hanging Rock (1975)Melies D’OrFilm Madrid FestivalCAMP (2025)Fucktoys(2025)Queens of the Dead (2025)Alice Maio MackayVera DrewJane SchoenbrunWoman in Fan The Plague (2025)Arianne Hinz’s new film MarionettesSystem Crasher (2019)E.T. the Extraterrestrial (1982)Rabbit Trap (2025)Tornado (2025)Lesbian Space Princess (2024)Honeycomb (2022)Slamdance FestivalThe Virgin Suicides (1999)American Beauty (1999)Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)Anything That Moves (2025)Lucid (2025)Mother of Flies (2025)Hellbender (2021)Castration Movie I (2024)The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)Fuck My Son!

    Episode 22: James Spader with Amber T
    Oct 29 2025
    The off-kilter, libidinous, captivating actor James Spader doesn't get the attention he deserves and this episode is here to rectify that. I spoke with (new) Spader fan and horror journalist Amber T about the talented and unforgettable actor. Welcome to the fold, Amber. We spoke about Spader’s appeal, the sexuality he brings to his roles, why we think he hasn’t received a lot of critical attention, our favorite James Spader films, and more!Show Notes:Amber’s instagramAmber’s blueskyAmber T’s James Spader Letterboxd ListMy James Spader Letterboxd ListCrash (1996)Secretary (2002)Pretty in Pink (1986)Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989)Team-Mates (1978)Spader in Team MatesEndless Love (1981)Tuff Turf (1985)The New Kids (1985)Supernova (2000)A Killer in the Family (1983)Starcrossed (1985)Brat PackBad Influence (1990)John HughesPatrick BatemanLess Than Zero (1987)Wolf (1994)The Whale (2022)Dream Lover (1994)Brendan FraserDavid DuchovnyCrash novelMaggie GyllenhaalBabygirl (2024)Bret Easton Ellis Midnight Cowboy (1969)Jack’s Back (1988)Curtain Call (1998)The Music of Chance (1993)Sex, Lies, and Videotape criterion articleFollow Somebody's Watching here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: @somebodyspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @somebodyswatchingpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: somebodywatchingpod@gmail.com

  • Episode 21: Eva Aridjis Fuentes (Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus)

    Episode 21: Eva Aridjis Fuentes (Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus)
    Sep 25 2025
    In May, I went to a screening of a documentary called GOODBYE HORSES: THE MANY LIVES OF Q LAZZARUS about the singer of the cult song "Goodbye Horses" which is most prominently featured in Jonathan Demme's film THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. The film is a portrait of the musician behind the song, Diane Luckey, her tumultuous life, and the frustrating reality of a music industry that didn't know what to do with an unconventional Black singer. This conversation is with the director of that film, Eva Aridjis Fuentes, and we spoke about how the film came to be, the obstacle-filled filming process, and the documentary as Diane Luckey's legacy.Show Notes:Eva Eridjis Fuentes’ website Q Lazzarus websiteEva’s instagramQ Lazzarus LP Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus (Music from the Motion Picture)Something Wild (1986)Married to the Mob (1988)The Silence of the Lambs (1991)Philadelphia (1993)Q LazzarusEva's film Children of the Street (2004)Eva’s film La santa muerte (2007)Eva’s film Chuy, El Hombre lobo (2014)Searching for Sugar Man (2012)Grey Gardens (1975)Man on Wire (2008) The Beatles: Get Back (2021)My Octopus Teacher (2020)Koko: A Talking Gorilla (1978)Dazed article about Q Follow Somebody's Watching here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: @somebodyspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @somebodyswatchingpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: somebodywatchingpod@gmail.com

    Aug 19 2025
    Film programmer Alison Lang and film writer Jess Sweetman came to talk with me about something they both feel really passionate about - their love of bad movies. This episode is a look at why film lovers relish watching movies that are overlooked, mocked, and discarded. We talked about being contrarians, what makes a bad movie entertaining, their niche favorites, and more!

    Episode 19: David Lynch ( w/ Bill Ackerman & Courtenay Stallings)
    Jul 22 2025
    It only felt right to dedicate another episode to David Lynch. In February, I put out an episode documenting a Lynch marathon that I co-organized, but that wasn't enough Lynch in my book, and so I approached two bonafide Lynch experts with the goal of having a more in-depth conversation about the filmmaker. Bill Ackerman is a film writer and the host of the fantastic ⁠Supporting Characters⁠ podcast as well as a special podcast dedicated to Blue Velvet called ⁠From the Neighborhood⁠. He's undoubtedly one of the best film podcasters full stop end of story. Courtenay Stallings is a film historian, the editor of the Twin Peaks themed Blue Rose Magazine and is also the author of Laura's Ghost: Women Speak about Twin Peaks. Her dedication to spotlighting Lynch and her access to Lynch's world is astounding. We discuss Lynch’s persona, his career throughout the years, the importance of Laura Palmer, the life changing powers of Blue Velvet, and a lot more.Show Notes:Bill Ackerman's Podcast Supporting CharactersFrom the Neighboorhood – Blue Velvet PodcastSupporting Characters InstagramCourteney Stallings InstagramLaura’s Ghost: Women Speak About Twin PeaksBlue Rose MagazineDavid Lynch’s Unrealized ProjectsFestival of DisruptionRoom to DreamMark FrostMulholland Drive (2001)Brian De PalmaKimmy RobertsonSabrina SutherlandThe Shrouds (2024)Hotel Room (1993)Lumiere and Company – David LynchVideo WatchdogInland Empire (2006)David Lynch Keeps His Head – David Foster WallaceThe Sixth Sense (1999)The Straight Story (1999)Atom EgoyanDuran Duran: UnstagedAngelo BadalamentiThe Secret Diary of Laura PalmerPeggy ReaveyThe Alphabet (1969)The Grandmother (1970)Six Men Getting Sick (1967)Dino De Laurentiis Dune (1984)David Lynch & Mel BrooksAlejandro JodorowskyWerner HerzogBody Heat (1981)Blood Simple (1984)Crispin GloverBlue Velvet (1986)Wild At Heart (1990)Eraserhead (1977)Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)Cult Movies: v.3Cut!

    Episode 18: Vinegar Syndrome Weekender
    Jun 17 2025
    In mid May, film collective Zelluloid 42 and US film label Vinegar Syndrome organized a mini festival called Vinegar Syndrome Weekender showcasing a selection of outrageous, nonsensical, incredibly entertaining B movies and celebrating celluloid film. I went there with my B movie loving friend Jess and this episode is a documentation of our time there. You'll hear our bewildered reactions to the films we saw, a Q&A with Vinegar Syndrome co-founder Joe Rubin and chief archivist Oscar Becher (apologies for the audio, recording it was a spur of the moment decision), and a short interview with Zelluloid 42 programmers Audrey and Tarek.Did we leave the cinema forever changed after this weekend? Maybe so! And we've got Zelluloid 42 and Vinegar Syndrome to thank for it! If you live in Berlin and love transgressive, psychotronic cinema, Zelluloid 42's monthly film series Pleasure Dome at Filmrauschpalast is the place to be!Show Notes: Zelluloid 42Vinegar SyndromeCreepshowTales from the CryptSusan TyrellJim JarmuschTommy WiseauKonstantin StanislavskiActors on ActorsPledge NightDemon WindThe Kids in the HallBattlefield EarthNight Train to TerrorMegalopolisMarathon ManThe OmenThe Ghost DanceDracula SucksPrisoner of ParadiseThe LampAngelStrangers with CandyFollow Somebody's Watching here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: @somebodyspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @somebodyswatchingpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: somebodywatchingpod@gmail.com

    Episode 17: Madeleine Sims-Fewer & Dusty Mancinelli (VIOLATION, HONEY BUNCH)
    May 16 2025

    Madeleine Sims-Fewer & Dusty Mancinelli are a Toronto-based filmmaking duo who premiered their second feature HONEY BUNCH, an unconventional thriller set in a 70s medical clinic, at the Berlinale earlier this year. They're an exciting, genre-defying voice in contemporary cinema and it was great to get them on the podcast. We spoke about what it's like working as a duo, making the anti-revenge film VIOLATION, accessibility in film, and much more.
