It's a new miniseries! In this short run of episodes we're discussing foreign films, specifically Japanese and Korean horror. This week the boys watched an Omega Project film from 1999 that inspired a whole slew of intense body gore and "torture porn" movies in the early 2000's. Trigger warnings abound in this episode that pushes the limits of the category of anti-heroine-lead plots affectionately referred to by the boys as "Good for her" movies.Join our Patreon!Follow us on Instagram!

Do you go swimming after work? What exactly is a "slumber-party" movie? Is Fred Durst attractive in the music video for "Behind Blue Eyes"?!

Continuing with our series on psychological horror we decided to attempt a discussion on David Lynch this week. Known for his atmospheric, unsettling, and sometimes non sequitur plots, Lynch's style may not fit perfectly into the horror genre, but there's something about "Lynchian" movies that is just weird and befuddling enough for the purposes of this watchlist. Our resident Lynch-lover, Vianca, joins us to unravel the mysteries of Mulholland Drive. Let us know what you think of this mind-bending Frankenstein of a movie!

This week we're continuing our series on psychological horror by discussing a film featuring Leonardo DiCaprio under the direction of Martin Scorsese. What else could you ask for? We cover the origins of the story by Dennis Lehane and the many aspects of this film that separate it from the rest of Scorsese's body of work.
This week we were joined by our longtime friend, Andie, to discuss the 2014 atmospheric horror film, "It Follows." Listen to us get way deep in the weeds about the rules of the monster in this movie and discuss the allegory laced throughout the plot!
This week we're finally covering our first Carpenter film with "In The Mouth of Madness". We get crazy talking about the many meta moments of this movie and the inherent sexiness of Sam Neil. This movie is bonkers and we absolutely love it and hope you do too!
In between episodes on our psychological horror series, we decided to double back and cover this sleeper hit that wasn't recently dropped on HBO Max. We get into gritty details about the behind the scenes camera work and talk about the doomed legacy of Justin Long characters in horror movies.
Season three is live! We're kicking off our series on psychological horror with a film by the "master of thrill," Dario Argento. Pour yourself a viscous glass of red wine and light up a cigarette, it's about to get crazy in here. Join us and our friend Dani as we talk about the 1977 "Suspiria" and all the twists and turns within this wild film.
We thought it was appropriate to cap off spooky season by covering the end to the somewhat misguided David Gordon Green Halloween trilogy. We talk about an alternate cut of these three movies we think could redeem the messiness of this requel series and discuss how evil band nerds can really be.
Just how much head trauma can a single person endure?! We're capping off our series on slashers this week and taking the edge off with one of our most beloved horror comedies. "Tucker and Dale Versus Evil" is a gory romantic comedy featuring the two most emotionally available rednecks you will ever see.
What's up creeps!? Happy October! For this weeks episode we're covering a brand new release that everyone seems to be talking about. This one had us jumping out of our seats, one of the few movies this year that has lived up to the creepiness presented in its marketing. Enjoy!
We finally made it to the climax of this series on slashers! This week we're covering one of the most famous and influential slasher films of all time. It's the movie that broke the grindhouse movie mold and inspired decades of filmmaking. That's right, we're talking Texas, we're talking chain saws, we're talking massacres. Join us for our conversation on Tobe Hooper's original 1974 horror masterpiece.
Another Bonus Episode incoming! This week we were lucky enough to see an advance screening of the much anticipated prequel to Ti West's "X" released earlier this year. List to us talk about the collaborative writing process between Mia Goth and Ti West in our discussion of "Pearl"!
This week we're making a detour on our journey through slasher films to talk about one of the most famous/infamous haunting movies of the eighties if not of all time. We watched Poltergeist! And we have thoughts!
We're back with another slasher! This time we're talking about the 2016 film, Hush. Directed by Mike Flanagan and cowritten with his partner Kate Siegel, this self-contained slasher is an expertly executed single location thriller. We talk about the implications of using hearing impairment as a plot device in the movie and some of the inspiration and lessons the horror power couple learned from the making of Hush.
CROSSOVER EPISODE!!! This week we sent Travis out to hang out with the boys from There Are Too Many Movies to talk about the 90's summer slasher classic, I Know What You Did Last Summer. We talk boat architecture and the ridiculousness of the twist at the end of this movie!
This week we're continuing our series on slashers and covering the cult classic from 2000, American Psycho. We talk about the inspiration for the character of Patrick Bateman and the controversy around Brett Easton Ellis' novel and the production of this movie starring Christian Bale.

New release alert! We were lucky enough to get an early screening of this new mystery/thriller. Come listen to us talk Gen-Z horror.
This week we kept the Hitchcock train rolling! (kind of) Listen to us talk "Disturbia" and it's legally not significant similarities to "Rear Window".
We're getting back to slasher BASICS with the film that arguably started it all. That's right, this week we're talking Hitchcock because we watched his classic 1960 film, "Psycho"!
We went to the theaters this weekend and saw Jordan Peele's newest original picture, NOPE. Come listen to us get in the weeds about this amazing film!
We're not wasting any time, welcome to season TWO baybeeee. Hang out and listen to us talk about the phenomenon that was the 2008 slasher The Strangers, featuring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman.
Season one is a wrap! To finish out this series we watched one of the GREATEST horror comedies to come out in the last few years, Ready or Not (2019) featuring Samara Weaving.
This week we watched The Black Phone. Scott Derrickson teams up with Ethan Hawke and Jason Ransone again to bring to life a haunting short story by Joe hill. Come hang out while we talk about this creepy killer!
The time has come! We finally watched The Exorcist III. We have some thoughts on Blatty's directorial debut and the badass that is Father Morning.

We watched Sinister and we have thoughts! Why are little kids so creepy?!
Listen to our conversation about memetic horror!
Based on Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel "The Haunting of Hill House," The Haunting is an absolute classic ghost story. In many ways, this is where it all starts! Listen to us sort out the psychological thriller elements of this amazing film.
We watched the newest Conjuring movie! Hang out and listen while we discuss the romantic sub-plot of this movie.
It's our first new release! We went to the theatre and saw Ti West's new film, "X" featuring Kid Cudi, Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, and Brittany Snow. This movie has so much going on and is a perfect twist on the country-slasher genre.
We stocked up on Jameson and Guinness and had a hell of a time diving into the 1993 classic, "Leprechaun". We talk about everything from the Leprechaun's candidacy for the X Games to the fact that the director of this movie claims to have saved Jennifer Anniston's career.
We watched the 2009 movie "The Haunting In Connecticut" directed by Peter Cormwell! Come listen to us talk about ectoplasm!
This week we tackled the 2014 found-footage film The Taking of Deborah Logan. This movie is too real at times and EXTREMELY unsettling at others.
We watched the most bonkers movie to come out of 2021. James Wan returned to horror in between superhero movies to give us the gift that is Malignant. This movie will make your brain explode!
