If you’ve spent any time reading the marvelous, energetic, infectiously enthusiastic prose of Sheila O’Malley — film critic, essayist, and author of the recent “The Art and Making of Frankenstein” — you will not be surprised that, given a list of movies to choose from, she chose one starring Elvis Presley. So we discussed “King Creole,” his 1958 vehicle directed by Michael Curtiz and co-starring Carolyn Jones, Dolores Hart, and a (comparatively!) young Walter Matthau.

This is our NEW RELEASE review podcast, ONE HOT TAKE. What lingers is not the question of what the monster is. It is the feeling that the film has constructed a world where danger is both external and internal. The thing under the bed is no more or less real than the lives these characters have built. Synopsis: An eight-year-old girl asks her scheming neighbour for help in killing the monster under her bed that she thinks ate her family.

This is our NEW RELEASE review podcast, ONE HOT TAKE. What DaCosta understands is that this middle chapter does not need to climax. It needs to deepen.

Synopsis: As Spike is inducted into Jimmy Crystal's gang on the mainland, Dr. Kelson makes a discovery that could alter the world.
