Phil Collins fans only beyond this point.
What happens when the pressure to be perfect becomes a performance no one’s watching? In a world obsessed with status, control, and appearances, you can still be a clone that remains a chilling reflection of toxic ambition and hollow masculinity. This week, the Babes dissect the razor-sharp satire behind the cult classic American Psycho (2000). A film that, even 25 years later, still delivers bloody good commentary that feels eerily relevant today. From the film’s chaotic creation to Patrick Bateman’s empty, polished shell, we peel back the mask to examine the desperate hunger for validation. So Lagoonies, pop in your headphones, tune out the noise, and join us as we chase a Dorsia reservation and unwind with the absurdly meticulous morning routine of an American Psycho.

EP 24 POLTERGEIST: Bring back 80’s lighting!
They're heeere... and so are we! In this episode, we venture into the different dimensions of this haunted suburban nightmare that is the cult classic Poltergeist (1982). From preventable ghostly TV static to malevolent tree attacks and that iconic clown scene (you know the one), we’re opening our minds to the fun, the layers, and the behind-the-scenes stories that make this movie re-watchable. Is your house built on a burial ground? Let’s hope not — but call your local parapsychologist, avoid the closet, and remember: It’s not a haunting… It's a Poltergeist.

EP 23 THE DEVIL'S BATH: Don't go chasing waterfalls
It’s been a while since we’ve enjoyed and been both absolutely horrified by a movie in a long time! Enter the 2024 Austrian slow burn, The Devil’s Bath. While this hidden gem of folk horror should be on everyone’s radar, don’t expect any jump scares. Nope, just the sweet sweet terror of tradition and human behavior. Though set in the 18th century, this film touches on themes that are just as relevant today like mental illness, depression, un-aliving oneself and the threats of our waning communities.
Buckle up because this bath is no kiddie pool. We’re about to dive head first into the deep end of THE DEVIL’S BATH.
