    BoooOOOOOooo! Welcome to pcmc Halloween 2025! Spooky season is the most precious time of year for the pcmc brood, and we come to you all month long with our scare-tacular Halloween specials. Today we travel to Hong Kong in 1985 to hop onto the hopping vampire craze! See what I did there? Today's film is Mr. Vampire — a slapstick comedy, martial arts, horror film! This movie modernized the mythology of Jiangshi (hopping vampires) for a new audience and set off a craze for similar movies. This movie is fun as hell, and we recommend you check it out, but even if you haven't seen it, you can still listen to this episode. Come back next week for more spooky fun!

    414: Halloween 2025 - Dressed to Kill (1980)
    2025/10/01
    BoooOOOOOooo! Welcome to pcmc Halloween 2025! Spooky season is the most precious time of year for the pcmc brood, and we come to you all month long with our scare-tacular Halloween specials. Today we kick things off with the HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC film Dressed to Kill from 1980. It's Brian De Palma's homage to Alfred Hitchcock. The film is suspenseful, sexy, and brilliantly made. Sadly, it's also completely wrong-minded about the experience and life of transgendered people. If you've liked pcmc's previous episodes on slasher movies, this will fit right in with those conversations. Come back next week for more spooky fun!

    411: The Ugly Stepsister (2025)
    2025/09/10
    Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! On today's all-new episode of pcmc, host, Mike Bongiorno, is joined by frequent contributor Nadia Kader. Today's topic is the outrageous, gross, and incredible 2025 film The Ugly Stepsister. This is a dark, violent take on the Cinderella story, told from the point of view of her "ugly stepsister." But the movie is more than just a gimmick, it's a smart, heartbreaking tale of women surviving in a world where they have no power to support themselves, or control their destiny. Mike and Nadia loved the film and if you're a listener of pcmc, you will probably love it too! If you like the show, make sure to subscribe anywhere you get your pods.
