SHOW / EPISODE

Clayface (& Street Fighter, The Devils, and Sense and Sensibility)

1h 19m | Oct 26, 2026

Emily loved Clayface. Monika did not love Clayface. But she also didn’t hate it (which is honestly much more annoying?)

This week we’re talking about DC’s extremely gooey villain origin story, a movie with a clunky script, some genuinely great body horror, and enough cool shape-shifting stuff to keep Monika from fully turning against it.

We get into why Emily apparently loves origin stories despite having no interest whatsoever in comic book movies, why the actors are doing a lot of heavy lifting here, Matt Hagen’s descent from charming movie star to sewer-dwelling pile of skin, and the important question of what technically qualifies as a jump scare.

Plus Monika gives her thoughts on Street Fighter, Emily reports on The Devils, and we disagree about the new Sense and Sensibility.
