When Luigi Mangione allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, the media called it a senseless crime. But online, a different story emerged—one of rage, reckoning, and a suspected killer turned folk hero. More than just a true crime podcast, LUIGI, hosted by Jesse Weber, dares to look beyond the crime and the accused to explore a cultural tipping point in America, asking you to decide - is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning?

205: Samara Weaving & Jimmy Warden on Borderline, Twisted Love Stories, and That Time They Were Followed Home

Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Scream VI, The Babysitter) and her husband, writer-director Jimmy Warden (Cocaine Bear, The Babysitter: Killer Queen), sit down with us to talk all things Borderline—a darkly twisted thriller about fame, obsession, and dangerous attraction. Samara stars as Sofia, a former ‘90s pop star trapped in a psychological game with an unhinged fan (Ray Nicholson), and Jimmy pulls back the curtain on making his feature directorial debut alongside his wife.

We dive into the film’s wild creative process, Samara’s electric chemistry with Ray, and what it was like directing a film that blurs the line between love and madness. Plus, they share a hilarious (and slightly eerie) real-life story about being followed home—eerily fitting for Borderline’s themes.

Beyond the film, we talk The Babysitter, Cocaine Bear, and Samara’s rise as a modern scream queen. And yes, we ask about Ready or Not 2—how could we not?

206: Director Chris Landon on DROP, Internet Backlash, and Hollywood’s Fear of Queer Horror

Writer and director Chris Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky, We Have a Ghost) joins us to talk about his latest thriller, DROP, a tension-filled ride that turns a simple phone feature into pure terror. We dive into his collaboration with Josh Ruben on Heart Eyes, creating an experience with tension, laughs and a bunch of heart, and the moments that make DROP truly unsettling.

But we also dig into the bigger industry conversations...why he parted ways with the Arachnophobia remake, the internet backlash surrounding Scream 7, and Hollywood’s ongoing fear of queer horror. Chris opens up about writing a major horror IP with a gay lead only for the project to be shut down..and the frustrating reality of studios playing it safe.

Plus, AirDrop horror stories, the therapy hidden in his films, and so much more so...

COME HANG OUT!!!
