The Yearbook Committee Podcast

Emma and Paul finaly reach the end of their supernatural season, but before they cast aside all the witches and time machines, they look back over all the films covered and settle on their own Top 10s, Bottom 5s, and all the shout outs and honourable mentions from across the 72 movies covered this season.   Instagram: @yearbookpodcast   Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Emma and Paul take one last look at the spooky side of teen movies with a trio of possession movies, discussing the power of friendship, the uselessness of adults, and why it's always girls with Jennifer's Body (2009), Veronica (2017) and My Best Friend's Exorcism (2022).   Instagram: @yearbookpodcast   Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Emma and Paul get help from some spooky visitors with Friendly Ghosts! Appearing before them in a creepy-yet-well-intentioned fog are Teen Spirit (2011), Suzie Q (1996) and Ellie and Abbie (and Ellie's Dead Aunt) (2020). Instagram: @yearbookpodcast Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Emma and Paul strap on their on backpacks, get themselves up to 88 miles per hour and get ready to hit hypertime as they look over three teen movies about time travel, with the stone-cold classic Back to the Future (1985), the Nickelodeon shenanigan-fest Clockstoppers (2002), and the guy-punchingly topical See You Yesterday (2019).   Instagram: @yearbookpodcast   Music: https://www.purple-planet.c...

Emma and Paul get that little bit more mileage out of the body swap trope, and even get to pull in anime, Disney and slashers for Round 2 of metaphysical hi-jinks with Your Name (2016), Wish Upon a Star (1996), and Freaky (2020).   Instagram: @yearbookpodcast   Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Emma and Paul wake up in the wrong bodies for The Body Swap! (They didn't really but imagine all the empathetic revelations they would have!) This episode they metaphorically switch things up with It's a Boy Girl Thing (2006), Every Day (2018) and Freaky Friday (2003).   Instagram: @yearbookpodcast Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Emma and Paul turn their attention to the more gross aspects of teendom: puberty as body horror. The time when your body betrays you into looking and/or feeling like a freak, and three very different stories of discovering the alien side of your physical self, in Teeth (2007), Excision (2012) and Idle Hands (1999).   Instagram: @yearbookpodcast   Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Emma and Paul finally get to do a full episode on the scary, sexy, camp creatures of the night: vampires.
