DRAMA: Possession (1981): If you are in search of the ultimate horror drama film, look no further than Possession (1981).

PSYCHOLOGICAL: Antichrist (2009): Lars von Trier plus Charlotte Gainsbourg plus Willem Dafoe - what could possibly go wrong (other than everything)? In this episode, I explore the controversial 2009 film Antichrist, which shocked the film community in unimagineable ways after its premiere at Cannes. A dark but apt journey into the lives of a married couple struggling after the loss of their son, Nic, and the first installment of the Depression Trilogy, Antichrist is not for the faint of heart.

Irreversible (2002): I don't know if there has ever been a more difficult film for me to sit through than this one.

The Last House on the Left (1972): The holiday season often makes me feel sentimental. Because of that, I present to you all, dear listeners, a very special episode. Not special in the way that it is my best work, or in the way that is a particularly "good" analysis. This episode is special to me because it is the first podcast episode that I have ever recorded. It is a small piece of history and an example of how far this show has come. I recorded this only to share with two to three people as an example of the show that I might start to regularly publish. And now, I would like to share it with you all for the first time. Please be kind and know that we all start from somewhere. Being that this episode was a practice exercise for myself, it is nowhere near the product of what I would hope to release. The audio quality is not great. I was nervous. I had no idea what I was doing. But we all start somewhere, right? Additionally, I would like to say that this will be the last episode of by The Final Girl on 6th Ave

When Evil Lurks (2023): Demián Rugna's 2023 film When Evil Lurks is an investigation into the world of demonic possession that I guarantee you have never experienced before.

Inside (2007): Inside (2007) is a revolutionary take on the stereotypicaly home invasion film.
