Priscilla and May December are two films now available to stream or watch on Netflix that share a strange bond. They both involve plotlines that deal with inappropriate relationships between adults and fourteen-year-olds.

This week Jim and Teal take an inside look at Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, about the relationship between Priscilla Presley and Elvis. Jim notes some of the striking similarities between this film and Todd Haynes' May December.

What else? Jim and Teal offer up an alternative holiday classic, the 1961 gritty noir, Blast of Silence.

Finally, Jim and Teal gift each other by watching a film that the other one recommends. Teal watched a film from the BFI 250 list, the amazing The Ascent, and Jim watched this year's independent film, How to Blow Up a Pipeline.
