What do Alex Winter mutants, Tim Burton fever dreams, and Macho Man in a cage match have in common?
They’re all freaky detours on the strange, slimy, transformation-heavy road paved by Cirque du Freak.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR
Five films connected by freaks, transformations, and uncanny communities
A genuine love–hate rant about Basket Case 2
Spider-Man, pro wrestling, and the freak show that is Sam Raimi’s career
The lingering trauma of a hostel room haunted by Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter
A conversation that begins with conjoined twins and ends with cobweb oceans
