Fearbaiting

Wanna play a game— Whoa, whoa, slow down there, cowboy, we've trapped you here in this toilet room this week so you'd be forced to listen to us talk with Nathan ( @birddad_ ) about Saw ! We'll let you go after the hour is up, promise, no sawing legs off to get to keys trapped in your bone marrow or poisoning your co-conspirator with toxic blood cigarettes or anything like that! Scout's honor. In t...

Gobble gobble, punks! It's (inter)national Fuck (American) Thanksgiving day! This year, your friends at Fearbaiting are not-celebrating this whitewashing of the grim legacy of colonialism by inviting friend of the show John ( @_FlourishCaster ) on to talk about Blood Quantum ! Join us as we discuss... largely dumb bullshit (you can put a fucked up girl anywhere, decadent doobers, fuck-energy meals...

The curtains draw closed on another wonderful Schlocktober as your friend and mine Roy , from online, joins us to talk about Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Join us as we say au revoir to the season and talk about decadent coffee choices, the Runescape gremlin, presidential prescience, Gremlins 2 crimes, and Hulk Hogan's nutty sex tape. Listen to Nonna Roy's Nightmarinara ! RECOMMENDATIONS: Fullmetal A...

The Schlocktober curse has struck us yet again, folks! Delayed by a flat tire on the car of your intrepid editor, interrupted by the computer of your intrepid editor crashing halfway through recording, also I think Sara spills water on her powerstrip at some point, idk, or perhaps... there's a man in all of our walls causing this mayhem! For the answers to these queries and more, join us and our g...

You heard about phones? And e-mails and shit? Fucked up. This week, Brooks and Eddy of Funpoint, 5 Grams of Iron, Yare Yare Boys, and other podcasting enterprises are here to take a few swings at the digital hellscape that is The Internet as we watch and talk about two very different versions of Chain Letter . We also pour up a gloop - that's a gloop and a splurgy. RECOMMENDATIONS: One bad gloop a...

And lo, as the sun sets across the horizon, a chill shivers down your spine - you know, undoubtedly, that Schlocktober has descended upon you yet again, and there is nothing you can do to impede its ceaseless march. For you're fully aware that any attempt to do so would be an extreme breach of the terms of service. Y'know, like an app? Like in the movie Countdown , where there's an app that kills...

Whoof!! Time to strap in, folks, because this week Sara is joined by Blair ( @blairkitsch ) once again, in prep for Schlocktober, to dive headlong into a film that has more difficult needles to thread than a seventh grade Home Ec class. So, pull on your surgical gloves and consider the implication of a horror movie tackling young adult psychosexual fantasies as we discuss Excision ! Topics include...

Welcome, welcome, to the 1804 edition of Fearbaiting! It's pretty similar to current podcast, but we recorded this into a gramohpone instead of computers, because it's 1804! Luca ( @minervasden ) comes back to complete the Ginger Snaps trilogy with Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning, as we also spend a frankly unforgiveable amount of time talking about Final Fantasy XIV because this movie didn't rea...

Time to brush up on your public domain cosmic horrors with troublingly racist origins, folks, because we're diving into the world of Lovecraft this week as returning guest Gage (@Sane_Intolerant) joins us again to talk about Color Out of Space !

We also talk about other vampire properties, don't worry. Also, we talk about Beyond the Black Rainbow! RECOMMENDATIONS: Dorohedoro Universal Harvester Intro/outro music by Satah who ma...

Hey, you remember Death Note, right? Sure you do! As did the writers of 2017's film adaptation. They definitely remembered the story, and didn't just pull the back half of it out of their asses to get this movie across the finish line. Our friend Aidan ( @NotchTheB ) also remembers Death Note and has joined us to remind us all about the true meaning behind Light Yagami - I mean, Turner - and his w...

Everyone's favorite Cuncle (cat uncle) Blair ( @blairkitsch ) is back in business, for 2017's hottest...sequel? Remake? We're not really sure what Rings is, aside from extremely bad! We also talk shower coffee, the Big Bang Theory man's acting chops, and how tough it would be to fight a duck-sized Sadako. RECOMMENDATIONS: Welcome to Night Vale Super Mario Sunshine Intro/outro music by Satah who ma...

Aliens are scary, right? Especially when they look like all those galaxy brain feels guy memes? Well, Mars Attacks! scared our guest Kay as a kid, so it passes the bar! We talk a little bit about Austin Powers, lament the animals that perish at the hands of these nasty guys from space, and talk about their terrible attempt at making a furry. Listen to Kay's podcast, A Song of Babys and Puppys, her...

Get ready to descend into the depths of Hell with us this week!!!!!! ... Eventually, whenever this week's movie decides to bring us there. Well, in the meantime, why don't you pull up a chair and listen to Sara and guest Scout ( @cybernetiques ) talk about this week's film, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday ? Scout, a long time Jason stan, will help lead us through the weirdness of the franchis...

Fearbaiting is the number one hacker podcast in the world, and as such we've drilled into the mainframe of your phone or computer or whatever you're listening to this on. Using our cool hacker skills, we've covertly planted this episode about Unfriended: Dark Web featuring friend of the podcast Maxie ( @MaxieSatan ) into your podcatcher, so now you have no choice but to listen to us talk about our...

Hey, guys! Remember Supernatural ? Now, imagine this: what if, instead of, like, two American weirdos and the same twelve tracks that play on every oldies station, it was, like, two German weirdos, except, like, with strange undefinable vaguely British accents? Anyway, this week we brought Chaz ( @helmommete ) along with to watch The Brothers Grimm , a fraternal romp into con artistry, kitten eati...

Well, we're back, but unfortunately we're also entirely imaginary. You made the whole podcast up! All in your brain! But I gotta say: you imagined a banger episode this week. Friend of the show Val ( @flightcubb ) joined us to talk about Daniel Isn't Real, which is a surprisingly on-topic movie to have watched for this very imaginary episode. We also make a way, way better version of baseball - en...

This week, your hosts explore once again how far they can stretch the genre of horror as Sara brings Quinn ( @GirlDickEnergy ) on to talk about Pan's Labyrinth !

It's rush week, pledges! Line up for your hazing! Your first and last act of violence that we, the Frat, will inflict upon you is to see Dude Bro Party Massacre III! It might be made by the 5 Second Films guys, but they sure as hell didn't trim any fat off this 103-minute murderfest. Friend of the show/fellow frat bro/Noisespace overlord Matt joins us to recount the deaths, rack up the titty talli...

Well, well, well, looks like our intrepid host is dead set on stretching the definition of what a horror movie even more this week as she's joined by Morg ( @HauntingTheMorg ) to watch James and the Giant Peach , which, yes, admittedly, we were all afraid of that weird rhinoceros-cloud-metaphor thing as children but, you know, I guess it is 2020 we're all just floating in space and-- oh, right. To...

This week, our friend Piper came on to talk at length about Dario Argento’s Suspiria, and in the process got a history lesson about PogChamp! Piper can be found on Twitter @OneStrawShort !

Well, Hugo award-winner Blair finally solved the puzzle and got out of the editing bay, so I figured I’d reward him by letting him talk about Escape Room before shoving him back in there. Seemed fitting, y’know? In addition, we also talked about our snacking habits, the funniest euphemisms for pussy, and Chekov’s lecture hall! Intro/outro music by Satah who makes music under the name people you me...

Yar!!! It’s time to bone up on your sea shanties and off-hand knowledge of the Prometheus myth, because this week we’re diving dick-first into The Lighthouse , with our guest Sarah ( @SarahMcCostumes )!!
