Today's movie takes on the guise of a weird '80s teen comedy, then adds in some supernatural phenomena and some axes. So we consult THE JV CLUB's Janet Varney on the peculiarities of Lisa's high school experience, and then make up some Monster Mash-up movies of our own.

We all knew that love hurts... but this is ridiculous!

This week, Cody and Matt celebrate Valentine's Day and take a bite out of this cult classic. They discuss awkward teen love, high school in the 00's, and how effective a funny wig on JK Simmons can really be. After sorting out who are the "cool guys" and the "hoes", the boys dive into the importance of a specific tone, confusing marketing, and the powerhouse that is a Fox/Seyfried team-up.

The year is flying by faster than an Amy Sedaris cameo, so don't forget to send out those Valentine's cards! 

Thanks for listening!

Mix a bit of Mary Shelley, a pinch of Heathers, a dash of Beetlejuice, and a soupçon of Edward Scissorhands, and you have Lisa Frankenstein, the new movie from the pen of Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer's Body). We review it in this week's episode, and seem to be among the few reviewers who actually enjoyed it.

Dom checks out the new bloody comedy Lisa Frankenstein, starring Kathryn Newton.

Following her breakout hit “Juno” released in 2007, writer and producer Diablo Cody was suddenly one of the hottest names in Hollywood so it didn’t take long for her next script to get picked up and given the greenlight into production with Megan Fox signed to star in the film. 

Cody once again partnered with Jason Reitman on production with Karyn Kusama brought on as a director. Influenced by films like “The Lost Boys” with hopes of exploring a different side of horror, Cody said that her script spoke to female empowerment while also exploring the complex relationships between best friends. 

The film ultimately bombed at the box office but in the years since its release, Cody and Kusama’s movie has become a cult classic while also being celebrated for queer themes with essayist Carmen Maria Machado praising the movie and the exploration of “the central body of water that is bisexuality. 

The film centers around two best friends — one of whom is attacked and sacrificed by a mediocre band seeking fame and fortune but instead of dying, she returns with a powerful demon inside of her and an insatiable thirst for blood… 

In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we make sure nobody gets in the creepy van and promise to last more than four minutes as we look back at the 2009 film “Jennifer’s Body”…

We wrap up our season on great needle drops with an interview mixtape. Host Rico Gagliano talks to three legendary music supervisors about their iconic pairings of music and image...a bunch of which likely provided the soundtrack to some part of your life.

Featuring Randall Poster (KIDS, THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, SUMMER OF SOUL), Margaret Yen (JUNO), and the late John Hughes's go-to music guy Tarquin Gotch—who helped FERRIS BUELLER twist and shout on his infamous day off.

The third season of the MUBI Podcast, titled “Needle on the Record,” dives into the unifying power of movie music and tells the stories behind some of cinema’s most renowned “needle drops”—moments where filmmakers deployed pre-existing music instead of an original score. Each episode explores an iconic marriage of song and image that’s become part of pop culture. It’s a six-part mixtape for film lovers.

After listening, check out our extended interview with Randall Poster on our online magazine Notebook in the latest “MUBI Podcast: Expanded” piece. The prolific music supervisor dives deeper into his work with cinema greats like Wes Anderson, Harmony Korine, and Martin Scorsese. Read the article here.

And check out Edith Bowman's fantastic weekly movie music podcast Soundtracking.

Co-star of the new horror film Malum (currently in theaters) Clarke Wolfe knew she related to  Grace Hart in the theater when she first saw 2000's Miss Congeniality. That resonance wasn't all positive. In this conversation, she shares her own inner misfit feelings, and explains how and why she became her own Michael Caine (er, Victor Melling).

Before writer, producer, and director Roxanne Benjamin was making V/H/S shorts or directing shows like Nancy Drew  and The New Adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, she was a disaffected youth who was so recognizable as a Daria that classmates called her by the famous MTV character's name. Now, she joins us  fresh off the streaming release of her new movie, There's Something Wrong With the Children, to talk about relating to Daria, finding a place in the world of horror and filmmaking in general, and some other stuff '80s/'90s kids love.

So salty!

As November comes to a close and winter gathers, we warm our hearts and minds with Jennifer's Body, a film directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody. Megan Fox has revenge on her high school after a boy band seemingly kills her in a demonic ritual. 

Does her best friend, played by Amanda Seyfried, have a crush on her, or is it just a deep childhood connection? Who at their high school will fall prey to Megan Fox's reign of terror? Initially a bomb at the box office, Jennifer's Body has slowly become a cult classic. It is very "2009". Check it out with us.

On this week’s episode, we discuss the social media spectacle of Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s whirlwind romance. We analyze the Spiritual Bimbo archetype, dabble in feminism as we reflect on the misogyny of 2000s Hollywood, and consider the timeless appeal of dating a boy in a band. Biz comes out as a burnt out Megan Fox truther, we psychoanalyze Megan’s outfits, and together we phone in a request to get ‘dickmatized’ included in the DSM-5.

Jennifer's evil. She's actually evil. Not "high school evil."

We cap off our return to high school with a sacrifice gone wrong, a heavy 2009 soundtrack, and a script that only Diablo Cody could write. We also discuss competition shows, David Wain's The Ten, and the difference between ponies and miniature horses.

Join us as we discuss Megan Fox and two of her movies: the cult classic Jennifer's Body and the first Transformers movie. 

holy moly, can you believe we've done 50 episodes? To celebrate, we've got our first returning guest - law student Erin Masters -  and a slight break from our usual format.

This week, we're discussing Karen Kusama's horror-comedy Jennifer's Body (2009).  There's a LOT to get into here,  including how the studio mishandled marketing the film, our collective misguided disdain for Megan Fox, and the constant, sweat-inducing anxiety of being a queer teenager.  How fun! (we make it fun, we promise)

Happy Pride, Spookies!!! We’re kicking off the month by featuring films that couldn’t get much gayer because they actually *are* gay — and we’re starting with Jennifer’s Body, one of the most perfect and iconic films of all time. The world still needs to deliver a serious apology to Karyn Kusama, Diablo Cody, Megan Fox, and Amanda Seyfried, but in the meantime, our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday will serve as the love letter it needs and deserves. 

The DOtD crew all agree that they would definitely fall prey to Megan Fox as they wax poetic about Karyn Kusama’s “Jennifer’s Body”! Along the way the crew discusses how the film is actually hilarious, its queer representation, and how bad marketing marred its theatrical release. Spoilers in the ritual printout.

From the brilliant divisive mind of Diablo Cody, the story of a high school bikini killer whose deadly run-in with an emo band gives her a hunger for boy meat. Featuring an interview with JEN BROWN of the Women in Caskets podcast & Genre Graveyard.

Directed by Karyn Kusama. Written by Diablo Cody. Starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried & Adam Brody

How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Andras: Let me count the ways. When it was released, this wickedly funny feminist satire was marketed to teenage boys. It has since been re-claimed by its rightful audience and yet I don't think its creators (Cody & Kusama) get the credit due to them for the impressive filmographies they are amassing, or for this particular cinematic blood stain.
