Um, what else is on your list?
Cuckoo. Yes. Yes. Cuckoo with Hunter Schaefer.
I really enjoyed Cuckoo.
I did too. I was very pleasantly surprised. I didn't know where it was going. I had no idea what was happening. And I was like, Oh, I left the theater. Like that was unexpected and original, which is kind of rare. Yeah, it really was. Um, How would you describe it?
I didn't see it coming.
How would you describe it?
Like, I don't even know how... I mean, in a lot of ways, it's like a straightforward creature feature. Okay. But it's so specifically situated. It's like so concerned with sound and with particular kinds of German culture. Yeah. It's creepy. Tillman Singer, I think, is German and... I grew up next to a German family and they're exactly like that. Just like weirdly manic and punishingly unfun.

Chapter 2: Which horror novels should you read now?
I hated that movie.
I thought it was pretentious. I thought it was like the structure.
I felt like a, I felt like an absolute fucking lunatic watching people call it smart. Yeah.
It was just like sequential out of order. There was no like the characters didn't, the characterization didn't, it wasn't continuous. Like anyways, yeah, I hated it. Although Ed Begley Jr. and Barbara Hershey eating breakfast.
Eating that weird breakfast.
That's a great scene. And staring at each other. It's worth it for about 30 seconds maybe. Yeah, but I hated that movie.
Yeah. Yeah, just like a really incurious, dull movie that keeps going with a format that's not actually doing anything after the first twist.
Yeah. It's like, okay, great. Let's see. And then can you recommend for me a book of the horror variety? Yes. Please.
Absolutely. I've got two for you. One, Green Fuse Burning by Tiffany Morris. This is a book about a Mi'kmaq indigenous woman who is super, super, super depressed after her estranged father's death. And her pushy white partner sends her to this art residency on the edge of a lake, and she has this complete and total breakdown.
