Progressively Horrified

It's May and that means it's Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month! We are jumping into a group of beloved films from the Asian diaspora. We are starting with the amazing "One Cut of the Dead". It's a low budget Japanese horror film about a low budget Japanese horror film, but just when you think you've seen all the layers, you hit the midpoint of the movie and you realize you've just...

Which kind of horror creature are you? Are you the wet shirtless sewer dwelling kind or the or the dry in lingerie kind? Underworld is a movie that will have you asking how it can be so full of ideas that seem good on paper and still somehow make something so boring. Guns that shoot bullets full of daylight? A sexy vampire assassin played by Kate Beckinsale? A  centuries old blood feud between sex...

Our beloved friend and the writer of the new comic Deprog, Tina Horn is back for a tale of cannibal twinks and jealous guys who make their feelings your problem. Bones And All is a masterpiece and a wild alternate take on Wonka, if we're honest. Come join us for a wild ride of bisexual cannibalism the likes of which you only used to get from network television. We miss you, Hannibal. ★ Support thi...

Aaron and Alicia join The Horror Squad to talk about The Blackening (2022), which was directed by Tim Story and written by Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins. The movie is a good ol' fashioned slasher whodunit parody, that asks a simple question: who dies first if the entire cast is Black? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ JOIN JEREMY'S ZOOP CAMPAIGN AND HELP MAKE GREAT COMICS! https://zoop.gg/c/s...

Happy Black History Month! And, as such, Happy Black Director's Month here on Progressively Horrified. We're starting off hot with a new take on the Frankenstein story, "An Angry Black Girl and her Monster". In a way, it's a little bit of a "what if Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur was a horror story?" but it's also got a little bit of "The Wire" flavor to it. It's clearly made with not a lot of money...

The episode you’re about to listen to is about Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) and some relevant trigger warnings for this discussion include allusion to drug overdose and animal death, and our hosts ranked this movie as spoopy, and totally metal. Also, big thanks to special guest Amanda Albrecht (@Robofeather) - who is totally metal as well. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ JOIN JEREMY'S ZO...

It's our first movie of the new year and we are starting out UPSETTING! "Soft and Quiet" is a movie that sneaks up on you and ruins your day. It is absolutely and completely without chill of any kind. It's about a group of white women who start out by attending a regular old Nazi bookclub and by the end of the night will have committed multiple felonies/hate crimes. It's a tight film. It's short....

You thought we could wrap up a whole year worth of movies in one episode? Nah, son. We know how to talk and talk and talk.  This time we're covering all our favorite new takes on old favorites, our Latin American History month films, and a mélange of other great stuff. After this, you will know what the best horror movies for you to go watch are. Whether you choose to do it, well, that's up to you...

2023: that was a fucking yeah, huh? We discovered that watching their movies back to back four weeks in a row was enough to make us hate any director. My eye has only recently stopped twitching when people say the name Cronenberg. Would you believe I even got tired to Guillermo Del Toro? Whodathunk? We caught up with Scream just in time for it to implode very publicly. We fell in love with a goofy...

We've been talking about this movie since we started the podcast and now we finally did it! Unfortunately, this film's John Constantine is from LA. Mercifully, that means Keanu doesn't have to do a British accent. Not that he can't do it. I mean, forsooth, we all remember Bram Stoker's Dracula, do we not? Instead, this time we leave it to Rachel Weisz to do an accent which basically just equates t...

Come for the absolute masterpiece of scene chewing that is Al Pacino as The Devil, stay out of the morbid curiosity of hearing what accent is going to come out of Keanu's mouth next. His accent grows no moss, because it's a rolling stone. Don't try to pin him to any one place or syntax. Hey, guys, did you remember that Charlize Theron is in this movie. They don't give her a ton to work with, but s...

In which the concept of voodoo has 1980s Hollywood absolutely by the balls. They can't get enough of it. Nevermind that the version of it that makes it into movies like this is absolute nonsense and a half-hearted excuse to get Lisa Bonet dancing topless.  It's okay (it's not!) but you will get to see the devil who has spent the most time at the manicurist. Devil De Niro is the most surprisingly f...

Satan Month continues! In this episode, The Horror Squad is joined by Rachael Alexandra to talk about Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Devil in The Witches of Eastwick (1987). It's a singularly horny movie Susan Sarandon fucks stringed instruments, the devil wants Cher to step on him, and Michelle Pfeiffer just wants sempai to notice her. there's more implied sex than you can shake a horny stick...

A movie which could only possibly be made by a writer/director because if another person had their hands on it, it would absolutely be a half hour shorter. The pacing is bad. The story is bonkers. The lead characters are boring. The film quality is poor. Their depiction of Native Americans is pretty racist. The politics are extremely suspect. BUT BOY DID THEY KNOW HOW TO CAST SOME MURDER ANGELS! C...

Come with us and delight in the masterpiece of seventies cinema that is Don't Look Now! All about grief, madness, blind psychic English ladies, and a church that is being exhaustively restored yet no one seems to give a rat's ass about. Come for the half hour long sex scene featuring extensive on-screen cunnilingus, stay for the twist that will have you saying "What the fuck, rest of this movie?!!...
