Let's Watch Scary Movies

As promised to you, dear listeners, we present the pre-christmas /post halloween gift that keeps on giving: The Lost Episode of LWSM. Unroll your sleeping bag and settle in as we travel back in time to October 2023, just before Halloween... Jenny was still pregnant, we all had more time, and the world was a simpler place full of untarnished hopes and blossoming dreams... Well, fear not - we're sti...

Our Cult B-movie Summer Series draws to a close at last! It might have stretched over several months but it seems appropriate to conclude it on this most auspicious of days: HALLOWEEN. So, Happy Halloween all you ladies and gentleman! If you're here for a serious, academic critique... well, that's exactly what you're going to get! Clocking in with our second lowest budget of the series at $35,000,...

The Cult B-Movies series is back... back to life! Like many of the corpses in this film... This week Jenny and Kaitlin tackle Stuart Gordon's seminal classic, "Re-Animator." There's 80s boobs, scream queen Barbara Crampton, naked corpses, and a class dedicated to scalp peeling. But that's not all! Your whorror-hosts dig into what exactly makes this a comedy vs a horror, lament the lack of characte...

The Cult B-Movie series continues! The terms "cult" and "B movie" are controversial ones to say the least, but Kevin Tenney's 80s classic "Night of the Demons" always seems to pop up on those top ten lists, so we're happy to join the party. I mean, would YOU rather be watching the Olympics? We didn't think so. Jenny and Kaitlin have a whale of a time discussing Linnea Quigley's ass, what constitut...

We're back, baby! Because there was a baby! But now it's season 2, it's summertime, we're reunited and what better way to celebrate than with a Cult B-movie series all about those low budget favorites?! Kicking things off is probably the lowest budget film in our series, Matt Devlen's "Ozone Attack of the Mutant Rednecks." And yes, the film is just as epic as the title makes it sound. In this very...

Happy Halloween! And Happy birthday to us, we're two! We love to be consistently inconsistent and keep you on your toes - who knows when the next episode might be released?! But we are doing our best to keep them coming. This week we decided to tackle the beast that is Stanley Kubrick's polarizing ghost story, "The Shining." Your whorror-hosts discovered pretty quickly that they actually watched d...

We're back! Kind of! We've decided to skip September entirely and head straight to October and the lead up to both Halloween and Jenny's impending birth! The weather is changing, the clocks are going back, and the pumpkin spice candles are ablaze in anticipation... This podcast may be haunted (by technical issues) but your whorror-hosts sound better than ever as they review Hannah Barlow and Kane...

Welcome to the 50th episode of Let's Watch Scary Movies! It may have taken us nearly 2 years to get here, but here we are at last... in rural Texas...

So grab your favorite human-mask, dim the lights, and listen in as we talk through one of the most iconic scary movies of all time...

A Series of Sequels part II comes to a close at long last with our final film in the series, James Cameron's, "Aliens." It's like the first one, but with more aliens! The sequels have gotten incrementally better as we've worked our way through the films, so it makes sense to end on a high note... Join your whorror-hosts as Jenny explains space, then she scores twice - because SHE CAN! - they discu...

A Series of Sequels Part II continues apace! This episode brings you none other than Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson's follow up to the insanely successful Scream; 1997's Scream 2. The cast is back!

Tune in for the perfect storm of 90s goth fantasy and wistful longing for analogue video equipment...

Welcome to our annual springtime special! Last year we went sci-fi but this year please join us for: A Series of Sequels (Part II)! For this series, Jenny and Kaitlin seek to answer the age-old question: can a sequel ever be superior to the original? Kicking things off in this little experiment is the 1981 classic, Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part 2." Your whorror-hosts compare the sequel to th...

Shane is back! Your favorite Irish comedian returns as a guest and what a joyous reunion it is! Tune in as Shane, Jenny, and Kaitlin rate and review Mark Mylod's 2022 horror/comedy, "The Menu." Ralph Fiennes is having the time of his life as Chef Slowik, the Anya-Taylor Joy fan club reconvenes, Shane explains the "Slumdog Millionaire Effect," and whilst we may not all agree about the film, we CAN...

Your whorror-hosts are, once again, under the weather this week - due in part to the fact that they were recently together. What does this mean for the future?! Will they ever share a room together again without bringing about scurvy and consumption? But illness may very well explain why - when choosing this week's film - your hosts were swayed by none other than the Daily Mail's proclamation of i...

Ahh here we are in cold February... the unexpected winter sun England has been getting is a pure delight though, as is the spate of newish scary movie releases! So make a tea, get comfy, and listen in as your horror movie besties tackle Zach Cregger's directorial debut, "Barbarian."

I mean, doesn't the title explain it all? New year, same whorror-hosts... join them as they break down Ti West's celebrated slasher, "X." There's a lot to love about this film - and the critics seem to agree - but listen in as Jenny and Kaitlin get deep on some of the themes and discuss ageism, casting choices, and whether or not a real cowboy would walk barefoot in a barn (no!).

Happy 2023! The festive cheer continues despite your whorror-hosts being under the weather - and what better way to ring in the new year than with the family-friendly* favourite, Michael Cooney's "Jack Frost"?! Join Jenny and Kaitlin as they attempt to break down this direct-to-video horror film which, with a 6% on rotten tomatoes, may be the lowest rated film they've ever reviewed. There's a lot...

Merry Christmas dear listeners! We realise Christmas and Hanukkah has technically passed, and it's that weird in-between time where it's not quite the New Year and we're still eating leftovers BUT! we ventured forth to experience the Krampus and we want to share our tale with you! So join your whorror-hosts as they recount their adventure deep into the Dolomite Mountains in this mini, special edit...

Welcome to December (not November, and yes Thanksgiving has also now passed contrary to what we say in the episode)! Our extreme lateness is partially explained by the technical issues we encountered here, and our trying to fix them. We did our best but, the sound is... not great. There is volume disparity and echoing at times - we are working through our technical glitches so please bear with us,...

Halloween may be over but it's always Halloween in our black hearts!
