Le Vourdalak (aka Dick Spliters) with Jadzia Axelrod 05.06.2026

Happy Pride y'all! Frankly movie is not the gayest one we've ever covered, but it damn sure may be the queerest. We got a young Russian trans peasant girl longing just to be accepted, an aristocratic French fop, a witchy goth girl, and a vampire puppet who just wants you inside him.

Ghost Killer (aka Yakuza Ratatouille) with Jamie Noguchi 22.05.2026

Okay, but hear me out: what if you were an average college girl with average college girl problems and you got Ratatouilled by a Yakuza Ninja Ghost? That's the brave question that Ghost Killer dares to ask! And Jamie Noguchi is here to help us sort it all out!

K-Pop Demon Hunters (aka Corn has its Connotations) with Maia Kobabe 16.05.2026

It's Ben's birthday show and we're talking about something that is a horror movie in roughly the same percentage as Funny People is a comedy, it's K-Pop Demon Hunters! Listen to us as we marvel at the brilliant writing. Nod with us as we observe the nature of a completely abusive mentorship. Worry with us as we consider the troubling connotations of lore around this world that isn't fully built ou...

Dream House (aka Business Goose Confirmed) w/ Erica Henderson 10.05.2026

Years ago, when we first had Erica on the show the first time, she wanted to talk about the Hong Kong horror movie Dream Home, but it had disappeared from all the streaming platforms.

Weapons (aka Heat Seeking Naruto) 20.04.2026

Well, when horror movies start picking up acting Oscars, we gotta cover em, right? And we already did Sinners, so it's time to talk about Weapons! Warning: if your triggers are: kids in danger, drug usage, needles, cops, or being absolutely wrecked by June Diane Raphael, this might be one to skip. Otherwise, it's a hella good movie.

It's THE Feel Bad Movie of 2025, making it to the podcast!

Ash (aka Space Durdened) 20.02.2026

Look, there were just too many potential names for this one. The sky on this planet comes pre-shroomed. The cultural context of the medic bot's voice is troubling. People who find a giant AC vent installed into the ground of a planet and throw a rock in deserve to die. The biggest moment of horror in this movie is only horrifying once you've seen all of it. It's a wild one, though not as memorable...
