Flatliners (1990): Bad Science, Worse Decisions
About this podcast
Cozy Quilt Cinema is a movie podcast hosted by Beth and Michelle, a queer couple who review films through an emotional, feminist, inclusive lens. From beloved horror classics to hidden indie gems, they bring their wit, heart, and real conversation.
Each episode closes with The Stitch Count, a three-part feminist film analysis covering: the Castellini Test (a tongue-in-cheek metric created by filmmaker Bri Castellini), Inclusivity & Gaze, and The Tremors Gold Standard. It’s movie criticism that actually cares.
Whether you’re a longtime cinephile or just someone who loves a good cozy watch, climb into the blanket fort and settle in.
