Not every A24 horror flick is a slam dunk. Such is the case with Love Lies Bleeding director Rose Glass’s first film Saint Maud. Despite a fantastic lead performance and incredible imagery, the movie spends 80 minutes spinning its wheels before suddenly revealing an explosive ending that almost makes up for the lack of story that came before it - but not quite. So sit back and witness the tale of Saint Maud as we discuss the movie, plus Maud’s Creed-inspired wings, what JT’s initials actually stand for, and of course, Bea Arthur as Maude.

Saint Maud stars Morfydd Clark, Jennifer Ehle, Lily Knight, Lily Frazer, and Turlough Convery. Directed by Rose Glass.

In a short bonus episode to hold you over until our newest episode drops next Monday, we’re responding to a request we received to react to the trailers for the new A24 horror flick entitled Undertone, which debuts this Friday the 13th. Described as a psychological and supernatural horror film about a host of a popular paranormal podcast who becomes haunted by terrifying recordings mysteriously sent her way, in this Silver Linings Special you can hear us react to both trailers for the film, as well as discuss “8D” audio, those apps that let you “communicate with ghosts” all over the App Store, and, of course, everyone’s favorite Italian dish: Labububabadookinamuumuu.

And if you’re curious about the 8D audio track we play, the real song is entitled “Hood Baby” by KBFR. You can find the music video for the stereo version here.

And the “8D audio” version here.

Undertone stars Nina Kiri, Adam DiMarco, Michèle Duquet, Keana Bastidas, Jeff Yung, and Ryan Turner. Directed by Ian Tuason.

There’s a new Scream flick in theaters right now, and while that film is what most of the fans are talking about, we’re throwing it back to 2011 to dissect the very mid Scream 4. Released over a decade after the original three films, this one suffers from an identity crisis and fails to justify its existence in the overstuffed remake/reboot crowd of the time. Does this movie have anything to say about the then-current state of horror? We’ll let you know as we discuss the film, plus our twist on a Punk’d revival, David Arquette’s strange puppet bar, and Dustin’s inability to physically see any woman who isn’t his wife (“lady blindness”). All of that and a lot more with returning guest Ashley Simmons.

Scream 4 stars Kristen Bell, Rory Culkin, Anthony Anderson, Alison Brie, Hayden Panettiere, Emma Roberts, Neve Campbell, Anna Paquin, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox. Directed by Wes Craven.

Look, we get it: not everyone is a fan of Tim Robinson’s unique style of comedy. And while Friendship may not be the ultimate litmus test on his comedic sensibilities, it has its moments of real drama and relatable circumstances for the everyman that poke through his specific line delivery and chaotic energy. If you weren’t into I Think You Should Leave or The Chair Company, maybe give this one a shot. Tune in to our episode (which is so cherry) as we discuss the film, plus extreme food challenges, exploring abandoned places, and kissing your parents on the mouth.

Friendship stars Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd, Kate Mara, Jack Dylan Grazer, Rick Worthy, and Whitmer Thomas. Directed by Andrew DeYoung.

Guillermo del Toro had been waiting to make his version of Frankenstein for a long time, and in 2025 we finally got to see what he can do with the classic story. It turned out to be a 9-Oscar nominations worthy endeavor. Some interesting spins on the beloved novel await those curious enough to see what Jacob Elordi can do as The Monster, so put on your finest ascot and pour a tall glass of white (milk) as we dissect this one. Plus, discussions on whether or not Christoph Waltz is a good actor, Victor’s goop diet, and just how many babies Nathan could beat in a fight to death.

Frankenstein (2025) stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, and David Bradley. Directed by Guillermo del Toro.

It had been 18 years since the last entry in the 28 (or 28 x Later…) franchise, but Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s return could not have been more welcomed. While 28 Years Later was incredibly divisive (especially due to that ending), no one could argue that this entry into this infected (read: zombie) property wasn’t unique and refreshing. We love this one and hope you do too. So hold onto your head (and spine) as we tear into this one as well as discuss decrepit punk houses, the nicest thing Mallie’s ever said, Larry the Cable Guy’s only good joke, and, of course, those Alpha dongs.

28 Years Later stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Ralph Fiennes, and Erin Kellyman. Directed by Danny Boyle.

Remember 2007’s Next? No? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. This Nic Cage vehicle is one of his more forgotten outputs from the past 20 years and for good reason. A plot that truly doesn’t make any sense is only outweighed by apathetic performances and even lazier direction. Couple all of that with what has to be one of the most insulting endings to a movie ever and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Luckily for us, our episode is far better. Tune in to hear us breakdown the movie (as best we can), plus conversations about Cage’s absurd hair, magic coin blood, and, of course, soiling yourself to get out of a situation.

Next stars Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore, Jessica Biel, Thomas Kretschmann, Tory Kittles, and Peter Falk. Directed by Lee Tamahori.

This holiday season, we here at The Silver Linings Playlist proudly present to you a very special gift in the form of a super-sized episode. And what better movie to talk about for 2 and a half hours than the much conferred (and often criticized) Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Where does this one fall in the legacy of Star Wars flicks? Is it better than you remember? We’ll let you know as we break down the film in its entirety, as well as discuss the most important topics such as Chewbacca fueling Yoda’s drug problems, the very contentious Empire cryptocurrency PalpaCoin, Sheev’s time as a gigolo on Naboo, and of course those c---y boots Obi-Wan loves to wear. All of that and more with guest Drew Miles.

Happy holidays to all who celebrate, and we’ll see you in the new year!

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith stars Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid and Hayden Christensen. Directed by George Lucas.
