Scream Queen Therapy

Send us Fan Mail This week we are joined by a real life mother to cover a classic motherhood film: 1994's Serial Mom. Our friend Marya joins us to discuss the wackiness, the pastel fantasy, and the overall greatness that is John Waters. Warning, this episode may also contain some gushing over Matthew Lillard and a defense for why Beverly wasn't wrong.  Follow us on Instagram @screamqueen...

Send us Fan Mail We are back with part two! Continuing our discussion of Evil Dead Rise this episode features more of the films focus on motherhood and a lot of blood.  Join us as we unpack the second half of a film that we like, but maybe not as much as we thought?

Send us Fan Mail Happy Friday! Knowing that we wouldn't be able to release a new episode next week and with so much to say, this week we are presenting you part one of our two part discussion on 2023's Evil Dead Rise. Bridging the gap between our Good For Her series with a celebration of the upcoming Mother's Day Holiday - this film has a little of both.  Join us as we dive in to al...

Send us Fan Mail This week as a part of our Good For Her series, your favorite (not licensed) Scream Queen Therapists dive in to the wild ride that is 2022's "Pearl". Join us as we breakdown the trauma within Pearl's delusional life as it decays into madness and fawn over the wonderful performance by Mia Goth.  Follow us on Instagram @screamqueentherapy, Twitter @SQTPod, and Ti...

Send us Fan Mail This week we are doing our first ever listener suggestion! As a part of our Good For Her series, we will be discussing 2015/16's "The VVitch". A first time watch for both of us, this was definitely a film worth watch, but we have some opinions to share. Join us as we break down religious trauma, Black Phillip, if this film truly classifies as "Good For Her&quot...

Send us Fan Mail As you may have noticed, we disappeared for a while and did not complete our plans to do Good For Her films during Women's History Month. Due to life events, we were forced on hiatus, but we are back. This episode was recorded back in mid March and not everything in our "What's Making You Scream" is quite relevant anymore, but we are happy to finally bring you...

Send us Fan Mail This week we hope your Valentine's Day was less bloody than the one in 2009's  "My Bloody Valentine 3D". This film probably should never have been made, but as with the case with many early 2000's horror films, there are still fun things to find in it.  Join us as we determine how inconsequential Valentine's Day really is to this film and why so much...

Send us Fan Mail Dating is a nightmare and this week are diving in to horrors that can come along with it as we discuss 2022's "Fresh".  A film that bites off more than it can chew, we have some pretty strong opinions about this one, but it is still worth a watch. Watch out for the red flags and prepare for Valentine's Day with your favorite Scream Queen Therapists.  Follow us...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back, officially.  This week we’re discussing 2009’s “Orphan”. The film that started our “Bad Parents in Horror Films” Award, Orphan might not have any likable characters, but it’s definitely a fun time.  Join us as we dive in to the wild adventures of Esther and her many secrets.  Follow us on Instagram @screamqueentherapy, Twitter @SQTPod, and TikTok @screamqueentherap

Send us Fan Mail Season two soft launch! This was meant to be our New Years episode, but due to life we were delayed in posting.  Join us as we unpack the truly uncomfortable film “Sissy” (2022). From unresolved trauma to antagonistic friends, this film is all about trying to start fresh, which is what New Years is for a lot of people, so it felt fitting for the occasion.  Join us Friday, Feb 3rd...

Send us Fan Mail We're baaaaaack. Well, kind of. In honor of the Holiday season, we bring you a very unhinged X-Mas Special.  Grab your flesh cookies, cover your eyes, and keep your family close as we discuss a film that is almost as much fun as it is complete trash: Black Christmas (2006).  We hope your Holidays have less trauma than this film does and we can't wait to show you what we...

Send us Fan Mail Happy Halloween! On top of celebrating the pinnacle of spooky season, this week also marks our season one finale - which is why we are releasing this episode a day earlier than normal. Join us as we discuss a modern spooky season classic, "Trick 'r Treat" and how to stay safe on Halloween.  As we say goodbye to "Spooktober" and season one of Scream Queen T...

Send us Fan Mail Prepare for the second half of our discussion on possibly the best film in the Child's Play franchise: Bride of Chucky. In Part Two we continue to obsess over Jennifer Tilly, think way too much about the intricacies of possessed doll anatomy/reproduction, and make a case for why we need more slasher road trip movies. Join us for the thrilling conclusion of another Scream Quee...

Send us Fan Mail Happy 25th Anniversary to the introduction of the ICONIC Tiffany Valentine Aka. The Bride of Chucky.  Because we had so much to say,  we did end up splitting this up. This week, in Part One, we are discussing the many outfits of Jennifer Tilly, the iconic opening sequence, introducing our main characters, and the revival of Chucky himself. Enjoy and join us next week for Part Two!...

Send us Fan Mail We're back and excited to celebrate Spooktober with you!  This week we are discussing the absolutely ridiculous "Idle Hands" (1999). A dirty and bloody Devon Sawa (our favorite honorary Scream Queen), Stoner zombies, a devil possessed hand manicure, Jessica Alba as the "perfect" 90s teen dream girl - this film has everything and we can't help but love...

Send us Fan Mail After a week off, we are back with an extra special episode in celebration of the 25th anniversary of 1998's "Urban Legend". This episode may be long, but this film truly deserves the time to discuss it. From the iconic cast to the perfect premise for a horror film - we dive deep to honor a film that has a special meaning to both of us. Grab your parka and remember...

Send us Fan Mail Actually on schedule this week we are discussing 1987's "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2" aka Prom Night 2: Hello Mary Lou. - A film that has nothing to do with its predecessor and is pure camp.  We dive in to the many iconic queer characters who never get to be queer, the dangers of teen pregnancy (as told by this film), and so much more. Join us as we experience not...

Send us Fan Mail As summer winds down and children go back to school, for the month of September we are covering horror films with a focus on or heavy use of a school location. We have a lot to say this week in an extra long episode as we unpack 2005's "Cry_Wolf". A film that was widely unliked and encompasses some of the best and worst things about the early 2000's - We have m...

Send us Fan Mail Summer is almost over and we are heading in to the woods for one last trip. This week we are talking about 2003's "Wrong Turn".  While most of this episode is just us fawning over Eliza Dushku, this is honestly a fun early 2000's horror film that we are excited to share with you. Avoid backroads and just stay home to join us for another episode of Scream Queen...

Send us Fan Mail This week to continue our Summer inspired horror film series we are discussing 2015's "The Final Girls". Join us as we get sucked in to the fictional 1986 film Camp Bloodbath along with some semi dull main characters and a commentary (?) on the idea of a final girl. Campy, heartfelt, sometimes on the verge of problematic, and rarely that scary - this is still a fun...

Send us Fan Mail Your favorite slasher villains are back as Scream Queen Therapy dives in to 2003's "Freddy Vs. Jason". From Kelly Rowland's questionable acting, to epic slasher fight scenes - this film has a lot we had to talk about, so this episode may be a little long, but we believe this gem deserves it.  Grab some some ever clear (but really don't) or some hypnocil an...

Send us Fan Mail This week we have a lot to unpack as Scream Queen Therapy dives in to 1983's Sleepaway Camp. Celebrating 40 years this November, this film is something else. Both highly talked about and extremely controversial, it is one we have been wanting to discuss for a while.  From the queer panic of it all, to the things we actually enjoy. Join us on a trip to Camp Arawak and get read...

Send us Fan Mail We're back! After a month off,  your favorite unlicensed Scream Queen Therapist have returned to grace your ears with another episode. This week we are discussing 1998's Halloween H2O: Twenty Years Later - which is celebrating 25 Year since it was released this week.  From the horrible Michael mask, the erasure of Jamie Lloyd, and the lack of character development - we d...

Send us Fan Mail Instead of Independence Day, this year we're celebrating nature's takeover.  This week we are doing our first listener suggestion as we dive in to 1972's "Frogs". For the first time this is a film neither of us have seen and it is quite the wild ride. Get ready for queer subtext, 1970's fashion, ugly rich people, and a whole lotta frogs. Grab a slice...

Send us Fan Mail For the final episode in our Pride Series - we are returning to where we started, with a film directed by Christopher Landon.  This week we are discussing 2020's "Freaky" - Written by Michael T. Kennedy and directed by Christopher Landon. Get freaky with us as we dive in to Vince Vaughn portraying a teenage girl, some extremely creative kills, and a Butcher who migh...
