Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

On a very special episode of The Girls on the Boys, Jenn and Rachel return to tackle a Supe Showdown, a Butcher bum flashback, and burgeoning love in a bowling alley. The plot thickens as Homelander finds the worst possible solution to a plane hijacking, Butcher gives a strange pep talk, and The Deep tries in vain to save a flirtatious dolphin.  Connect with your co-hosts: @GirlsontheBoys &gt...

For this episode, Nichole goes back to M. Night Shyamalan's filmography to talk about 2004’s The Village . Does Ivy’s disability matter beyond selling one of the film’s twists? Also: the character of Noah is absolutely ridiculous and what was Adrien Brody thinking? Want to recommend a film to be covered, or just reach out and say hello? Of course you do! Find me on Twitter art @BodiesHorror, or sh...

Jenn, Joe, and Gena bid goodbye (and good riddance!) to Fatal Attraction as the series ends with an out of nowhere killer reveal and an absolutely confounding message. Plus: infectious mental illness, a final round of rants and vents, how the show could have ended, the spin-off we *actually* want to see, and - after eight hours of garbage - justice for all of these actors (and us!) Wanna connect w...

Jenn, Gena, and Joe have reached the penultimate episode of Fatal Attraction ...and we've never had less confidence in the show. Despite the solid cliffhanger involving Beth and Alex and the extended flashbacks to Alex's childhood, it's all too little, too late. Plus: uncomfortable racial politics at the trial, more (?!) new characters as Dan works his petition, and just what is going on with Elle...

Sharai and Joe take a few moments to marvel at Harold Perrineau, talk about this dire rations situation, and mourn our favorite monster’s demise. Then discuss how the Colony House stabbing is the 100th reason we would never try Colony House. Plus, we gush about the stressful van ride that stands out in the most stressful episode of a very stressful show. Connect with your co-hosts: > Show handl...

Bryan and Joe return to compare and contrast Peter Atkins' screenplay for Hellraiser: Bloodline and the Alan Smithee (aka Kevin Yeager) directed feature that was released in 1996. We're talking Weinstein/Dimension interference, the changes in each of the three timelines, #JusticeForAngelique, and which of the texts we prefer. Wanna connect with the show? Bryan: @eviltaylorhicks Joe: @bstolemyremot...

Terry and Joe return to the Cronenberg side of the podcast to discuss his sophomore feature outing, 1977's Rabid . Clearly no longer courting controversy, Cronenberg explores sex parasites in an urban environment and casts American porn star Marilyn Chambers as his lead. Plus: horror vignettes, gross predatory men and phallic women, pity for Mindy and Rose's respective ends, and yes - this is Chri...

Fatal Attraction delivers another perplexing episode with "The Dillingers" as more new characters are introduced (what?! why?!) and Alex's relationship with sympathetic co-worker Clay is explored. Plus: continued questions about Ellen's role and just what show is Jenn watching?! Wanna connect with the show? > Gena: @genadoesthings > Jenn: @jennferatu > Joe: @bstolemyremote Music Cred...

Sharai and Joe are back to discuss this very low-key but engaging episode. We finally see the people Sarah hurt confront her, talk about Mari(elle)’s hobbies, and wonder if people should be counting talismans instead of food. Plus: We elaborate on why we love Donna, but would choose the town over *any* iteration of Colony House. Connect with your co-hosts: > Show handle: @YouShould_Watch > S...

It’s the podcast event of the century as Jenn and Rachel hide in a flower truck to tackle first date nachos, shockingly short sporting events, and the dwindling excitement of saving the day. From ass bomb trauma to deadly analingus, they’ll leave no stone uncovered in their quest to find someone who actually wants to work with Butcher. Connect with your co-hosts: @GirlsontheBoys > Jenn: @jennfe...

Infertility and disability intersect in a number of ways – folks with disabilities may struggle with conceiving as a result of their condition and access to various interventions may be a challenge. For this episode, Nichole looks at the 1991 film The Unborn to explore some of those connections and discuss why we need more expansive stories dealing with all matters of reproductive health. Addition...

Fatal Attraction rolls on with episode five "Medial Woman" as Alex goes full villain, killing Sophie and setting (another!) fire. In the present Dan and Mike seek out new suspects, while the Ellen storyline continues to spin its wheels. Plus: that bloody cliffhanger, questioning if Alex is present, and we play the Name Game because the show can't stop introducing new characters! Wanna connect with...

It's a slower episode of FROM , which prompts Joe and Sharai to praise Donna, worry more about Boyd, debate Sarah's fate, *finally* figure out the names of the new bus passengers, and ponder the SEO implications of the show's title. Connect with your co-hosts: > Show handle: @YouShould_Watch > Sharai: @Misssharai > Joe: @bstolemyremote If you like the podcast, please rate, review, and sub...

Terry and Joe continue their discussion of Lynch's filmography with his Oscar nominated feature, The Elephant Man (1980) featuring a shitty Anthony Hopkins and a heavily made-up John Hurt. We're talking about disability (and disability representation), hospitals vs freak shows, a harrowing bedroom attack, a tense train station sequence, and an unexpected surreal moment. Wanna connect with your co-...

Fatal Attraction delivers its first boring filler episode as Alex's screen time dries up and the "legalese" takes over. Sure Beth is piecing things together, and there's an actual death at episode's end to raise the stakes, but what are we doing with Adult Ellen's storyline?! Wanna connect with the show? > Gena: @genadoesthings > Jenn: @jennferatu > Joe: @bstolemyremote Music Credit:...

FROM delivers its Emmy contender with a surprisingly emotional episode featuring...a day player? Sharai and Joe love 'Tether' which touches base with every character on the show, addresses the emotional fall-out from living in this town, and seemingly sets up the rest of the season. It's a great episode, particularly for Donna and Boyd, though we still want answers from Elgin and Victor! Connect w...

In this water-adjacent episode, Jenn and Rachel return to discuss the perils of pumping at work, the benefits of keeping your hands clean, and A-Train’s attempts to outrun awkwardness. What happens when a sensitive boy crosses over to the dark side? Who is this adorable Frenchman stealing their hearts? And will they ever be able to listen to “Cherry Bomb” without thinking of ass explosives? Connec...

Nichole is talking about 2008’s  Teeth , directed by Mitchell Litchenstein and starring Jess Weixler. The film centers around a character with a medical condition found only in folk tales and myths, but there is some relevant bits to the characters. There is also discussion of how disability and sexuality are portrayed generally, as well as in this film specifically.  Want to recommend a...

White Ladies in Crisis returns to weekly TV coverage with the launch of Paramount+ eight episode limited series, Fatal Attraction . Up for discussion: uncertainty about hair, costuming and the show's two time periods, why episode three is the best, a questionable focus on Dan's daughter, wanting professionalism for Alex, and speculation about where the rest of the series will go. Wanna connect wit...

Sharai and Joe are back to see who survives the night in the second half of this surprise two-part episode. We put our detective skills to use to figure names of new characters, wonder if Mary should give Kristi a pass for disappearing under these deadly circumstances, and continue to wonder if Kenny will ever catch a break. Plus: We question some of our favorite characters’ choices as they run ar...

Gena, Jenn and Joe return to talk about the first feature adaptation of Ira Levin's iconic feminist text, The Stepford Wives (1975). Despite being written and directed by men, this tale of conformity and misogyny in the suburbs remains as timely and relevant as ever (discomfortingly so). We're discussing the 70s fashion, why Walter is such a putz, Disneyland robotics, and what a hypothetical (good...

Terry and Joe continue their bi-weekly exploration of Lynch and Cronenberg, turning to the latter's infamous (and controversial) first film, Shivers (1975). We're talking parasitic slugs, different forms of exploitation and queer representation, harrowing homages to Night of the Living Dead , an iconic pool sequence, and debate the nihilistic (or maybe sexually hopeful?) ending. Wanna connect with...

Sharai and Joe kick of season two of FROM with what appears to be part one of a two-parter (annoying!) While Tabitha and Julie are annoying, we're intrigued by the newbies from the bus, including Kristi's girlfriend and mysterious Elgin. Plus: just the right amount of Jade, Victor being useful (and not!), and fears for Donna and Kenny Connect with your co-hosts: > Show handle: @YouShould_Watch...

Co-hosts Jenn Adams and Rachel Reeves begin an episode by episode deep dive into the wild world of The Boys. We’ll tackle exploding girlfriends, invisible bathroom creepers, super selfies, and the worst first day in hero history. Vought veteran Jenn has a crush on a lanky nepo-baby, Supe newbie Rachel loves Butcher’s international swagger, and they’re both over the moon for the show’s female repre...

In this episode, Nichole is talking about 2016’s Don’t Breathe, directed by Fede Alvarez. Fede wanted to make a film that subverted tropes around a blind or disabled character and she’ll get in to some of the ways that was successful and some ways it may have fallen short of that goal. Want to recommend a film to be covered, or just reach out and say hello? Of course you do! Shoot Nichole an e-mai...
