Adventures in Movies: Short and Sexy
We talk about one of our favorite shorts out of Fantasia and the stellar new doc “We Kill for Love” about the history of erotic thrillers.
Transylvanie (short)
There is not much in the way of movie news this week (at least not the kind we are interested in talking about), so it begs the question: are the two ongoing strikes in Hollywood starting to show their effects?
On the other hand, it is one of the slower movie months of the year, so how much would there be to talk about even if things were going smoothly? Plus, there were plenty of posters and trailers that came out. We also talk about the career arc of Bill Maher.
Then it’s on to our new movie spotlight.
It has been a while since we have talked about a short film on the show. This year’s Fantasia Film Festival provided us with some of the best stuff we have seen this year.
Transylvanie is an interesting short whose silly name will throw audiences off. Yes, it is cute and has some funny moments, but it is also very dark. We talk about where it fits in the plethora of vampire movies and whether we would be interested in seeing it as a full feature.
Our featured presentation is a dazzling doc about erotic thrillers, available to stream now!
We have never made it a secret that we love erotic thrillers. We dedicated a whole month to the genre (check out our Stank Month shows!) and have talked about it on numerous episodes this year. We have also been lucky enough to cover a couple of movies that came out this year that are reminiscent of the late-night premium cable staples.
WE KILL FOR LOVE is one of the best documentaries about cinema out there. It never takes itself too seriously, but it also is careful never to poke fun at the genre that teenagers of the 1990s grew up on.
It tracks the history of erotic thrillers and provides some interesting points. All the while, it will fill audiences with a sense of nostalgia. Even those unfamiliar with the movies will get a kick out of the great interviews and clips.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
We talk about The Last Voyage of the Demeter and Dracula’s lack of mass appeal.

Episode 373: ‘Mockbuster’ (2026)
We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.
The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings.
Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative.
But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured.
On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
