Send us Fan Mail Introducing Kim & Em's forgotten movie GEMS!

The nostalgia flicks! The unsung underated heros of our formative years. We love these quirky...

Send us Fan Mail You might think that our podcast has an easy job rooting out the true villains in a film all about Satanists, and featuring the devil himself, but this is Kim & Em Vs EVIL !

Send us Fan Mail Kim and Em take on Frankenstein's long suffering creature in this last episode of Season 1 with the OG villain/victim who has – thus far – spanned a whopping 208 years!

Send us Fan Mail Kim & Em get festive this week with their favourite little (sometimes) green men; Gremlins! They're also joined by Gizmo himself so expect a LOT of singing and the odd Mogwai impression... The gore girls delve into everything from the real Chinese origin story of the Mogwai, to Roald Dahls' surprising involvement to the social commentary hidden deeper within the film...

Send us Fan Mail Slicing and dicing is the order of the day as our intrepid duo Kim & Em take a gory summer-vacay sojourn to Camp Blood to interrogate villainy in the original Friday the 13th . Tackling teenage sex and slasher movie no-nos, this finger-wagging horror movie helped cement the rules for "Don't" flicks and the stalk and slash pic, and Kim & Em take a dive into C...

Send us Fan Mail A slice of cut-throat (literally) Hollywood controversy as Emily and Kim go back to 1987 – a time of big hair, big thrills ,and big-time erotic thrillers!
