Stay tuned for part 2 to find out what Kim does to everyone’s butt line. Written/Dir. Chris Nas...

Kim finishes telling Ket about The Call. In the second half, Young-Sook joins forces with Old-Sook and Demetery the Cemetery man. Once again, Kim has gotten Ket all taggled up in some time travel debacle. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket and will live or die in The Call. Dir. Chung-Hyun Lee Writers Sergio Casci, Chung-Hyun Lee Support the girls on PATREON for some sweet BONE CON (bonus content...

Kim tells Ket about The Call, starring Park Shin-hye and Jeon Jong-seo. It never bodes well for Ket’s survival when Kim has to ardently implore Ketryn to turn her brain on and keep it on because this is a doozy! So, please eat your tuna sandwich in private and stay tuned for part 2 where we avenge the Strawberry Victim! Dir. Chung-Hyun Lee Writers Sergio Casci, Chung-Hyun Lee Support the girls on...

Ket finishes telling Kim about Hokum, starring Adam Scott and Demon Jerry’s new best friend… Jerry. In the second half, the results of the eternal question of ‘how many chains are in the room with us right now’ is revealed. Ket also has to break it to Kim that she does not have faith she would survive a jump out of the back of a van in the UK. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die...

Ket tells Kim about the newly released, already classic, Hokum, starring Adam Scott looking quite unlike melty dough. The girls now know to expect a couple things from Damien McCarthy. One, there will be an indeterminate amount of chains. Two, there will be bunnies and they will be creepy. The girls were also very happy to get a visit from another Jerry that they’d love to set up with demon Jerry...

Kim continues telling Ket about Totally Killer. Kim and Ket have always had a lot to say about the sensibilities of the 80s and this movie vindicates almost all of them. So, get bent! You know who else can get bent? Podcasters, amiright!? Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Totally Killer. Dir. Nahnatchka Kahn Writers David Matalon, Sasha Perl-Raver, Jen D’Angelo Support the g...

Kim tells Ket about the time travel romp Totally Killer starring Keirnan McKenna Shipka Grace. The Sweet 16 Killer terrorizes in two separate time periods! Yet in each of them, water beds (or as Kim says “wooder beds”) and animatronics, regardless of what kind of shape they’re in, remain scarier. Stay tuned for part 2 to learn whether or not we can trust the WiFi.  Dir. Nahnatchka Kahn Writer...

Ket finishes telling Kim about the feel-good, feminist romp, Send Help. All the girls have to say is… good for her. They’ve also solidified that Ketryn is significantly more likely to eat another human being than she is to work in corporate. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Send Help. Dir. Sam Raimi Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift Support the girls on PATREON for some...

Ket tells Kim part 1 of Send Help, starring Rachel McAdams, in the role of lifetime. The most shocking part of this film was the lack of mouth horror from good ole’ Mr. Raimi. Oh, don’t worry! There was plenty of horror… most of it corporate. Stay tuned for part 2 of Send Help, next week! Dir. Sam Raimi Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift Support the girls on PATREON for some sweet BONE CON (bon...

Kim finishes telling Ket about Part 2 of Run starring HRH Sarah Paulson. Things are getting reeeeeally “munchy” over here. Kim continues to advocate for Ketryn to be a cop… in TV and film only. Most importantly we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Run. Dir. Aneesh Chaganty Writers Aneesh Chaganty, Sev Ohanian Support the girls on PATREON for some sweet BONE CON (bonus content) at:   ww...

Kim tells Ket about part 1 of Run starring HRH Sarah Paulson. Kim revisits how wine is dangerously similar to pee and both the girls question how many eggs this game of chicken will yield. Stay tuned for part 2 where we find out who better make a RUN for it! Dir. Aneesh Chaganty Writers Aneesh Chaganty, Sev Ohanian Support the girls on PATREON for some sweet BONE CON (bonus content) at: &nbsp...

Ket tells Kim about part 2 of Do Not Enter while the girls enter their 400TH EPISODE!!!! (WHAT?!?!?) Stay tuned for the Sammie Awards next week! But until then, let’s get out of this hellscape we were told not to enter. And, no, I don’t mean the current state of the world. I mean, this abandoned hotel. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Do Not Enter. Dir. Marc Klasfeld Writer...

Ket tells Kim about the urban explorer horror, Do Not Enter. Listen, in today’s world, why NOT infiltrate an obviously haunted murder hotel and try and find 300 million dollars? It’s not like the “Po-” are gonna come! A monster seeking a bride in order to gain eternal power from hell just feels like a Tuesday at this point. Stay tuned for part 2 to see if Kim wants to join Ket on a completely insa...

Kim continues telling Ket about Starry Eyes. It’s full of triggering stuff, guys, not the least of which is a harkening back to Kim’s days imprisoned in her own Big Taters. But whatever horrors this movie brings up, it doesn’t compare to the horrors of today’s world. So, let’s pop some acid with Ketryn and see what sticks, shall we? Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Starry E...

Kim tells Ket about a movie too triggering for the girls to have done any earlier than the 397th episode. Starry Eyes sends the girls barreling back to a time and place that feels, frankly, all too real. But Kim apparently is far enough removed that she doesn’t even know the correct term for Casting Director. Stay tuned for part 2 to see if Kim survives the PTSD of working in a chain restaurant. D...

Ket finishes telling Kim about Friday the 13th (2009) which apparently came out solidly in the mid 80s… or were the 00s just the 80s but with impossibly low cut jeans? Anyway, one thing we KNOW was not in style in the 00s was wearing lockets with pictures of people you don’t know, that sort of kind of look like you. That being said, Kim will be getting a locket with a picture of a pale brunette th...

Ket tells Kim about THE FINAL FRIDAY THE 13TH! Holy Smokes! We did it, y’all! We’ve learned a lot over this journey. But the main take away is that 9 times outta 10… we’re siding with Jason. We’re also seeing some major similarities between the 80s and the 00s that are pretty hard to swallow. Stay tuned for part 2 of the finale next week! Dir. Marcus Nispel Writers Victor Miller, Damian Shannon, M...

Ket closes out the month of love with part 2 of Heart Eyes. Listen, this isn’t a GREAT first date… but it’s not the WORST first date. I’m pretty sure there are a few dates from the girls past where they would have welcomed the appearance of a serial killer. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Heart Eyes. Dir. Josh Ruben Writers Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon, Michael Kenne...

Ket gives Kim and all the Sammies a belated Valentine’s day gift with Heart eyes starring Chad from Scream, and Devon Sawaaa! If a Hallmark movie had a serial killer in it, it would be this movie. Sometimes death is just so romantic. Stay tuned for more Devon after these messages. Dir. Josh Ruben Writers Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon, Michael Kennedy Sophia Zolan's horror short "SHADOW": http...

Kim finishes telling Ket about the second half of this riveting masterpiece. When you put Freddy in the mix with other misogynist dorks… Jason doesn’t seem so bad, honestly. Grab your jello and let’s finish this! It is finished, right? There isn’t one more to tell in exactly one month is there? Most importantly we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Freddy vs. Jason. Dir. Ronny Yu Writers Damian S...

Kim tells Ket about the millionth installment of their Friday the 13th series with special guest, Fred D. Krueger. What are these two crazy kids gonna get up to? Couldn’t possibly be scarier than the amount of sweat that Ket produces. Stay tuned for part 2 to find out which dudes are toxic AF, even post mortem. Dir. Ronny Yu Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift Based on characters created by Wes...

Ket finishes telling Kim about this Hallmark (Horrormark, if you will ::door slam sound::) film. You know the trope: struggling musician moves back to home town, rekindles love with old flame, utter creepiness ensues. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in The Confession. Writer/Dir. Will Canon Support the girls on PATREON for some sweet BONE CON (bonus content) at:   w...

Ket tells Kim about The Confession (2025) starring an impressively creepy crapbag. Kim says she hopes Rami doesn’t turn into a creepy crapbag… Ket reminds her that every kid, at some point, has a little creep and a little crap. Best to just power through. But at least she’s prepared and knows the signs. Stay tuned for part 2 to find out if Naomi will need to join the CCB Support Group. Writer/Dir....
