We discussed a couple of highly buzzed-about indie horror films from SXSW 2023: “Only the Good Survive” and “Satan Wants You”.
A few weeks back, we talked about 65. While we agreed it was an interesting idea, we were split about its prospects. As it turns out, it did not do so well at the box office. We talk about possible reasons why and the star power of Adam Driver.
We have made no secret that if we hear a movie has been banned, it moves to the top of our must-see list. Which country refuses to show Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, and why?
Only the Good Survive was one of the most unique films to screen at this year’s SXSW.
Its DIY aesthetics and punk attitude set the tone immediately. There are obvious influences to past cinema classics, but it is very much its own thing. This movie frustrated and angered us. So why did we spend so much time talking about how great it is?
The Satanic Panic was a big part of our childhoods, so a documentary about it would only draw our attention more if it were banned in a country.
Satan Wants You does not just focus on one story; it focuses on what started it all. It had all the makings of one of the most interesting things we watched this year. Instead, it is one of the most disappointing.

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.
