We explore women coming undone — discussing a bewildering blast from the past, “Night of the Coba Woman”, and a modern marvel, “Stopmotion”.
Stopmotion
We begin, as always, with news of what’s happening in the world of horror.
We may give our opinions on a few movies each week, but it is rare that we go back and remind the audience that they have to go out and watch something. Lovely, Dark, and Deep is the rare exception. We have absolutely gushed about it since we first saw it last year and are glad to see it has finally been released in theaters. There are a lot of options on what to spend your theater bucks on, but this is an absolute must-see.
True Detective: Night Country was over before it began, and we have a lot to talk about.
We also discuss just how close the world came to getting a Truth or Dare 2 (not the Madonna version). But the strangest news of the week just may have been who has been attached to the Bee Gees biopic.
Then, it’s on to our featured film reviews.
Night of the Cobra Woman
Night of the Cobra Woman is a strange movie. The story of a woman who is bit by a cobra — and apparently has to sleep with men to remain young — never really materializes.
A person’s first appearance sees assault, then killing a woman, while his last scene is him saving the day. People realize their significant others are in danger and just leave. Nothing makes sense, and it looks like everyone involved had no idea what they were doing. At least the makeup effects were good.
Stopmotion is the exact opposite.
The story of a talented artist who becomes obsessed with their work is not new to horror. But the performances, effects, and storytelling in the film are fantastic. Though this is live-action, it also includes some great animated moments.
The horror is expertly done in this surprising and unique film, and there is something in Stopmotion for all genre fans to enjoy.

Episode 370: Mid year recap
Time moves more quickly now than it ever has. It was not that long ago that we were talking about a new show executive produced by the Duffer brothers. About a month later, it is one and done. As someone once reminded us, we are just two guys who watch movies. Production budgets and domestic grosses are only a passing interest to us. Still, there are some things that catch our attention. Were we right to say that Michael would get to $1 billion? And what does the future hold for Obsession?
There was a major change to our humble little podcast this year. We decided it would be in our best interests to be a little more focused. To that end, we went to just covering one movie each show. Despite this, we still managed to cover twenty-three movies over seventeen episodes. And twenty of them were released in 2026.
So, what do we have to talk about? And will we get as worked up as we did last week? The horrors of high school, zombies, musicals, buff nuns, and grindhouse adjacent fun. It may not all have been good, but everything left some sort of impression on us.
