It's the episode where Emily and Christine discuss everything they know about slashers and even more things they don't! We go over the rules, our favorites, our controversies, and much more. Happy Halloween!

Tune up that tractor and pack that pasta salad! On this perfectly thematically tied episode, Christine and Emily explore aging with two wildly different films. First up is M. Night. Shyamalan's OLD, which...doesn't go well. We redeem ourselves with the absolutely astounding feat that is David Lynch's THE STRAIGHT STORY. Spoilers abound everywhere, and all this is best enjoyed with a Miller Lite and can of braunschweiger.

We're back with more Bystanders! On this very special interview, Christine and Emily chat with director Mary Beth McAndrews about the history of female-made rape revenge films, dealing with fire stunts on a tiny budget, the possibilities of a Battle Bots found footage movie, and so much more. Be sure to follow Mary Beth via @mbmcandrews on the socials, the Scarred for Life podcast, and her work on Dread Central. Also, in case you STILL haven't listened to us, rent Bystanders! Watch it! Review it! Discuss it! Support indepenent horror, the pariticularly female-made kind that has a lot to say and a whole of skill saying it!

We're clearing the Christmas finish line with our big finale. Up first is Emily covering Lifetime's The Holiday Junkie, the directorial debut of star Jennifer Love Hewitt. Then we (well, I) dive into a review of the full season: bests and worsts, 2024 cozy cardigan observations, and a full ranking of the movies that were covered. We'll be back with Feminine Critique Proper in 2024, complete with Christine and more intelligence. Thanks again for listening and happy holidays!
