Monitor your blood sugar and watch the motion sensor lasers because we're diving into David Fincher's Panic Room (2002), along with Queerty's Cameron Scheetz.
We think this David Fincher "popcorn" flick doesn't get enough respect, particularly for queer leads Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart.
Plus: a scary Dwight Yoakam, Leto's cornrows, slow motion set pieces, and the film's troubled production history which includes...Nicole Kidman?!

The Stepford Wives (1975)
We'll just die if we don't get this recipe, which means we're discussing Bryan Forbes' divisive 1975 chiller The Stepford Wives, itself an adaptation of Ira Levin's 1972 novel(la) of the same name!
Join us as we go all in on the male-directed and male-written film that satirizes, well, men. From the Playboy Bunny origins of the Stepford wives to conflicting thoughts on Walter, there's a lot to discuss!
Plus: praise for Bobbie (Paula Prentiss), a lesson in female fashion and Raymond Chandler for Trace, thinking about Stepford dogs, and wondering if Easy-On Spray Starch really does save you half an hour a day (at least!).

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Prepare to shriek because we're talking about Philip Kaufman's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) for week 3 of 'Doppelgänger and Deception' month.
There's a lot to unpack in this technical masterpiece, including the vital early character work, the amazing practical effects, and that fatalistic ending.
Plus: directing bukkake, debating Leonard Nimoy's Kibner, the "Me Decade" of the 70s, one of cinema's most devastating deaths, and comparison to the other Body Snatcher remakes.
