Would You Trust Your Neighbor to Kill a Monster?
A child’s imagination or a deadly truth? In Dust Bunny, grief and horror collide when a young girl enlists her shady neighbor to destroy what she believes ate her family. Steve Stebbing joins Shane Hewitt to dissect this unsettling premise — and why it just might work.

The episode also unpacks Ella McCay, a political-family comedy grounded in love and survival, and Silent Night, Deadly Night, a cult horror classic that dares to turn Santa into a symbol of trauma. Through three radically different films, Steve explores how childhood, memory, and monsters still dominate the screen — and why audiences can’t look away.

How a Failed Heist Became a Lifetime on the Run
In 1970, James Blaine Mooney walked into a museum and stole four paintings — and then his real problems started. The Mastermind turns a bold crime into a quiet disaster, and Steve Stebbing joins Shane Hewitt to explain why this Mubi gem hits different.

The episode also covers the moody drop of Wake Up Dead Man, the next Benoit Blanc mystery teasing more than just murder. And for pop royalty watchers: The End of an Era lands on Disney+, closing out The Eras Tour with a polished blend of performance and persona.
