What if some dude who liked to make people feel bad directed a home invasion film that he felt showcased important elements of what's wrong with society, but confused which thing was more important to him along the way, but still managed to make a near masterpiece in the process? That's not rhetorical, I'm asking you. Please tell me. If you aren't familiar with Funny Games, you might want to read up on it a little before diving in. The artistry is in the execution, not in the surprises. And, God damn, if it isn't artistic. You might be surprised by our ratings on this most Austrian episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for people who want to get art but don't quite get art, so their sentences about how they feel about art just kind of trail off at the end. Description OVER!

Two drippy knuckleheads go on stiltingly at length about a movie about a variety of drippy knuckleheads doing stuff? Nah, just kidding! It's another scholarly deep dive into the overlooked marginalia and mise-en-scène hidden behind every frame of every shot of every horror film pretending not to be an exemplar of high art. That's right, it's Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast, and this time we're covering Macon Blair's 2023 remake of The Toxic Avenger, starring Naomi Watts!

What happens when a spoiled no-talent musician is told by his paid support network that he'd be great at making movies despite not actually being very familiar with cinema? You can a the Durstiest of all episodes of Loathsome Things: A Biscuit-limpening podcast wherein two old fat white dudes pretend to operate a podcast while complaining about things of no interest to listeners and also maybe talking about horror movies or something and somehow managing to be very insulting to everyone along the way while also forgetting to make a joke about how much better this movie would have been if Jonathan Davis directed it. That's right, take your green pill, mutha funkees, it's time to go American all over nobody's butt cheeks!
