Part 2 of The Holiday Season - November/Thanksgiving!

This month, Mike brings the 2015 indie drama "Krisha" to the Thanksgiving table—a movie about a woman who reenters her family’s orbit for a tension-filled Thanksgiving after years struggling with addiction.

Joined by Andrew, Rob, and Eric, the hosts dig into what makes this micro-budget film both unsettling and deeply authentic, from its real-life family casting to the spiraling anxiety and confrontation at the heart of its story. The conversation tackles everything from acting performances and family dynamics to why Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday setting for catastrophe. Plus, the hosts don’t shy away from how uncomfortable and relatable the film’s depiction of familial stress can be. Stay tuned for honest reactions, a touch of humor, and the usual Rare Cuts scoring, as the crew asks: Can a homemade movie about a fractured holiday actually stick with you—and would anyone ever dare let Krisha cook the turkey again?

Part 1 of The Holiday Season - October/Halloween!

In this episode, Eric Andrew, Rob, and Mike dive deep into the eerie 1988 film Lady in White—a unique Halloween-season pick that blends ghostly chills with heartfelt, personal storytelling. Set in 1962, the movie follows young Frankie Scarlatti as he uncovers a decades-old mystery, encountering both supernatural forces and the grim realities of small-town life. Andrew Picked for October and Halloween In this episode, the hosts unpack the film’s origins as a deeply autobiographical project by writer-director Frank LaLoggia, discuss its distinctive 1960s upstate New York setting, and debate whether Lady in White truly qualifies as a horror film—or is it something else entirely? From personal stories and technical filmmaking challenges to themes of racial tension and family, no unsettling detail goes untouched. Join the Rare Cuts crew as they explore what makes Lady in White stand out, how its shoestring budget shaped the final product, and why it remains a noteworthy, if underseen, entry in the Halloween movie canon.

Part 4 of James Bond Sidecars: George Lazenby

In this episode, Eric Andrew, Rob, and Mike dive deep into the oddity that is "Fox Hunt," the 1996 interactive movie/video game mashup that dared to blend live-action slapstick comedy with ’90s-era full-motion video gaming. This time Eric Picked the James Bond Side Car for Georg Lazenby! This installment marks the finale of the Society’s James Bond “sidecar” arc—an exploration of unusual projects by former Bond actors—where the spotlight falls on George Lazenby’s truly unique post-Bond endeavor. Our hosts dissect everything from the messy plot and wild tone to the unexpected cast, which includes Rob Lowe, Gary Coleman, and an original score by Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo. Along the way, they debate whether "Fox Hunt" is an overlooked cult treasure or a relic better left, well, forgotten. Tune in for laughs, in-depth analysis, and plenty of nostalgia (and, yes, a few jokes about questionable production decisions and nipple-whipping). Whether you love hidden gems or just want to hear about one of the strangest Bond alumni projects ever made, this episode is sure to entertain!
