Yep, you read that right: Today, I’m dropping the 400th episode of Someone Else’s Movie, and honestly I’m as surprised as anyone. This little project has  brought me so much joy over the years — as well as some wonderful new friends — that I can’t imagine my life without it.

So it’s just about perfect that this week’s episode should finally land Jordan Gavaris, whose off-center charm you’ll remember fondly from Orphan Black and possibly Take Two; he uses his flair for comic frenzy to excellent effect in The Lake, a new Prime Video series from Killjoys writer and producer Julian Doucet. (It’s nice to keep it all in the Canadian genre family, isn’t it?)

And Jordan picked Luca Guadanino’s Suspiria, the Call Me By Your Name director’s 2018 remake of Dario Argento’s 1977 classic about strange goings-on at a German dance academy. I love the original beyond reason; I did not much care for the remake. But Jordan makes a pretty good case for it, and I was very happy to have a lively, even impassioned debate for this very special episode. Also, The Lake is fun and you should watch it.

Elsewhere, there’s a new edition of Shiny Things, in which I review new Blu-ray editions of The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue and Girls Nite Out — the latter of which I had never even heard until Arrow’s announcement landed in my inbox — and if you’re looking for something to do this weekend you should come down to the Lightbox on Saturday for the 2 pm screening of Peter Strickland’s Flux Gourmet, a typically loopy examination of frailty, vanity and perversion from the director of Berberian Sound Studio, The Duke of Burgundy and In Fabric.

I’ll be there to introduce the film and conduct a virtual Q&A  iwth Strickland afterward, so if you have even a passing interest in his singular cinematic weirdness, you’ll want to be there for that. We have fun.
