Never Seen It Podcast

We dive into the bizarre, surreal world of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the 2026 psychological horror film directed by Jane Schoenbrun and starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. We discuss the movie's subversive take on slasher films, queer identity, sexual trauma, nostalgia, and the strange relationship between horror movies and the people who find comfort in them. From disturbing imagery and over-the-top kills to its dreamlike visuals and unexpected love story, we break down a film that turned out to be much more than a typical slasher movie.

We revisit the 1989 cult horror classic Puppet Master, the low-budget killer puppet movie that launched a surprisingly massive horror franchise. We discuss its creepy puppets, bizarre characters, Nazi-related backstory, gruesome practical effects, questionable logic, and wonderfully campy moments. Does this direct-to-video horror classic still hold up, or are its murderous puppets doing all the heavy lifting?

We dive into the bizarre world of Don't Panic (1988), a Mexican cult horror movie directed by Rubén Galindo Jr. Joined by returning guest Sam, we discuss a demonic Ouija board, ridiculous English dubbing, questionable special effects, bizarre character choices, and some of the funniest scenes we've encountered in a horror movie. Is Don't Panic an overlooked horror classic or a spectacularly bad movie that's so bad it's good? We're breaking down the chaos, sharing plenty of laughs, and recommending other horror movies worth watching this spooky season.

We revisit Michael Mann's 1995 crime classic Heat, starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer. We break down the legendary bank shootout, the unforgettable diner conversation, the parallels between Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley, and why Heat became a blueprint for countless heist movies, video games, and crime dramas.

We discuss Roofman, the crime drama starring Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst and inspired by the real-life story of a former Army Ranger who robbed McDonald's restaurants and secretly lived inside a Toys R Us. We break down the movie's surprising mix of comedy, drama, romance, crime, and suspense, while asking why we find ourselves rooting for a criminal.
