Welcome to Season Two of A Real Cult Classic! We’re kicking off October right with two stories from our favourite haunted movie sets. Amy covers her favourite movie (that’s sarcasm) “The Exorcist” and I cover the curse of “Poltergeist.” We also chat about our favourite movies to watch and books to read in October. We’re glad to be back and we hope you like this one! Remember to check your candy and may the Cult be with you!

On this week’s episode of A Real Cult Classic, we have a little BookTok themed chat about Penelope Douglas’ “Five Brothers” and Rainbow Rowell’s “Slow Dance.” We also dive into the nostalgia of summer as we reminisce about our respective childhoods in Ontario and BC. We hope you like it and may the Cult be with you!

Some time stamps:

9:50 — Penelope Douglas’ “Five Brothers” 49:40 — Rainbow Rowell’s “Slow Dance” 60:11 — Summers in BC and Ontario

I asked Cult Elder Auntie Amy who she wanted to know more about this week and she said “Paul Mescal,” or, more specifically, how the heck he went from Normal People to Gladiator 2. Or, even more specifically, how the heck is that going to work? So if you’ve ever wanted to know more about Paul the Brick Wall (as Pedro Pascal calls him) and/or his relationship with Phoebe Bridgers (like I’d leave her out), then you’ll enjoy this one! I think. I hope. Fingers crossed.

On this week’s episode of A Real Cult Classic, we look into two of the biggest phenomenons of our childhoods: Beanie Babies and Lisa Frank. Join us as we delve into the bean-filled underbelly of those highly sought after heart-shaped tags and psychedelic dolphins.We hope you like it and may the Cult be with you!

I’ve recently been binging The X-Files and I kind of now understand what all the fuss was about regarding 90s David Duchovny. So, naturally, I had to do a little bit of an Intermission meets Crushed episode. I hope you like it!

On this week’s episode of A Real Cult Classic, join us as we dive into two of our favourite historic dynasties: The Targaryen’s and Lisa Vanderpump. They have more in common than you think! We also discuss our favourite summer movies and which Vanderpump cast member would be paired with Vhagar. We hope you like it and may the Cult be with you!

We recently covered Marilyn Monroe in a four-part series, so I thought I’d combine them into one episode and throw some extra bits in for ya! Join me as we explore the life of this absolute icon and always remember: “We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.”

On this week’s episode of A Real Cult Classic, go on a sentimental journey with us as we talk about our dearly departed grandmothers and their favourite old Hollywood starlets! Auntie Amy talks about her Mamère and Doris Day while Megs talks about her Nan and Katharine Hepburn. And of course things take a completely different turn when we start talking about the X-Files and our favourite novel tropes. We hope you like it and may the Cult be with you!
