“Cinema of Cruelty (Movies for Masochists)” and similar random podcasts

From the elusive transcendental logic of Mulholland Drive, to Showgirls’ sly satirical embrace of exploitation and excess, to the assumption in Southland Tales that its audience has already read the six-volume source material, some films are simply more “cruel” on their audiences than others. So, please, lie back and let The Cultists be your guides through the paralyzing and perplexing void of arthouse, experimental, avant-garde, “cult,” and otherwise just generally weird WTF cinema. Because some films just beg to be annotated. Twitter/Insta: @CinemaOfCruelty Reddit: /r/CinemaOfCruelty
