Hostel
Oh boy this one is a doozy! Eli Roth vies for the title of worst man in America this week with Hostel, a xenophobic, racist, misogynist, white nationalist rag that not even Jay Hernandez can revive. Thank you to angelic listener Marnie for the suggestion - we hope we don't alienate you because of how much we hate this movie!

28 Days Later
Did Danny Boyle make an anti-capitalist, anti-cop zombie movie by accident? Join us in discussing 28 Days Later to find out - and tune into our debate on whether Cillian Murphy's aerial hospital bed d*ck shot is thirst-worthy.

Shutter (2004)
This week we are taking our first stab at foreign horror with the 2004 Thai film, Shutter! We sound like f**king idiots as we try to break down its similarities to J-Horror and talk about ghosts and the male gaze in Thai tradition. Also, bonus points to anyone who can detect the editing breaks where Abby's burps were cut out!
TW: This episode contains descriptions of sexual violence and suicide.

The Descent
We love caves! We're going underground again this week to talk about The Descent. It's another shining example of how much horror directors hate women, particularly BIPOC women. It's gross! But we are here to unpack it for you nonetheless.

As Above So Below
As Above So Below is the perfect 2000s era horror movie. It’s found footage, has fake archeology, fake history, colonialism, and most importantly it’s super dumb. Listen to us shout about permits, repatriation, and toxic female leads.

Suspiria (1977)
There's a lot to love about this spectacular genre classic, but there's also a lot to dismantle! We get to work on ableism and the ballerina in body horror. Buckle up: we both read a single article and are now scholars!

The Thing (1982)
The Thing lowkey sends us into a spiral of discussing the origins of colonialism, self and xenophobia this week, but we still manage to run down which members of the cast we would bang (spoiler alert: Wilford Brimley is on the list). Plus, Kurt Russell in his little condom hood!

The Haunting in Connecticut
We're getting THIC this week with the very 2009 recession vibes in The Haunting in Connecticut. This movie poorly handles issues from the death industry to familial trauma and we're here to dish about it all.

Valentine
Join us as we work on deprogramming some repugnant early 2000's fatphobia! This movie is a f**king disaster, but we are still thirsty for problematic hottie David Boreanaz. Plus, AJ from Empire Records and Abby's food processor both make surprise cameos!

Bad Hair
This week we are, but probably shouldn't be, talking about Justin Simien's 2020 film Bad Hair. Abby and Rebecca try to talk about representation, hair culture and the Indigenous experience and hope it's not a huge, offensive disaster. You be the judge - listen now!

Anaconda
We're taking on the classic 90's creature feature, Anaconda! Though we wish we could wipe Jon Voight in brown face from our collective memories, it ....kind of has to be addressed. We hope you enjoy!

Jennifer’s Body
This week is Jennifer's Body! There's a lot of problematic white feminism to unpack and we're ready to yap about it. Jennifer's Body is working on reclaiming a place in the queer and feminist oeuvres, but we're going to die on the hill that it sucks. Join us!

House of Wax
It's Abby's birthday so we'll cry about this delightful nightmare of body horror if we want to! There's plenty of isms to unpack , as well as a dramatic reading from an email exchange with a dog adoption agency. We've got something for everyone!

The Strangers
Abby and Rebecca chat about trying to remain thirsty for Scott Speedman even though he plays the worst kind of toxic male romantic partner. We're talking about The Strangers (2008) and if it provides any real commentary on classism or stranger-on-stranger violence (it doesn't).

American Psycho
Rebecca and Abby are tackling another complicated one - American Psycho. Is it an anti-capitalist triumph or misogynistic rag (or both!)? We'll uncover no answers and provide no cogent insights, but there will be laughs.

Black Christmas
This week, we're talking about genre classic Black Christmas (1974)! We're a little tardy (just wanted to keep that holiday spirit going for another day) and this episode is a masterclass in rambling, but it's a blast! We hope you enjoy Chris and his fur coat as much as we do.

Eve’s Bayou
We're talking about an extraordinary staple of the black femme horror/drama canon this week: Eve's Bayou. This movie is gorgeous, loaded with meaning and complex... so we are obviously the complete wrong people to be talking about it. We hope you find something cogent in there!

The Wicker Man (1973)
To celebrate the autumnal holiday National Day of Mourning (because Th*nksgiving is racist AF) we talk about folk horror classic, The Wicker Man! There's a lot to love about this movie, and some classic 70's soft rock for us to enjoy.
