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
