Episode 49 of the Top Notch Nonsense Podcast features young men following their d**ks into the dark void.
They just can't handle the supernatural femininity.
One of this week’s films are connected to Dennis Hopper in some way and connected to each other. They are Night Tide from 1961 also starring Linda Lawson & Luana Anders as well as the 2013 film Under The Skin directed by Jonathan Glazer and starring Scarlett Johansson.
Maranda hated ‘under the skin’ so much she read her notes without context.
