Pierced to the Heart's "deep talks" have three parts:
- "Before viewing" talks introduce a great film (without risk of spoilers). They talk about areas the film explores, questions it asks, and why and for whom it is worth watching.
- "After viewing" talks are where you find Pierced to the Heart's deeper film analysis. They assume you have seen the film, so there are spoilers without warning.
- "Backstory" talks are for the times that there are things outside the film that are interesting and fun to know and think about (there will be spoilers).
