Traumatized Episode 48 - High Spirits 18.04.2019 56:15
This week, we're discussing two movies: a charming supernatural farce about an Irish lord trying to save his ancestral home from developers by faking a haunting, and a stupid ghost love quadrangle involving Daryl Hannah, Steve Guttenberg, Beverly D'Angelo, and Liam Neeson. Unfortunately for us and everyone, these two stories have been mashed together into this unholy monstrosity, High Spirits . ...
Traumatized Episode 47 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer 06.04.2019 1:19:00

Traumatized Episode 46 - The Peanut Butter Solution 22.03.2019 1:16:14
It takes a pretty special movie to start getting really weird after the ghosts show up in the kitchen with recipes, but this film is, if nothing else, special.

Traumatized Episode 45 - The Electric Grandmother 12.03.2019 55:06
Oh boy, have we ever unearthed a treasure for your listening enjoyment this week. Can a robot teach a family to love again? What's up with that sarcophagus in the front yard? Why is all this stuff coming out of grandma, and is it safe to eat? We explore these questions and so many more that nobody really wants the answers to as we discuss Sweet Baby Ray Bradbury's forgotten children's sci-fi class...

Traumatized Episode 41 - The Witches 06.02.2019 1:26:56
Somewhere in this episode, there is a conversation about The Witches, the 1990 film adaptation of the Roald Dahl book about a group of ladies in sensible shoes who just want some dang peace and quiet and maybe not so much poop stink in the air, and who are willing to go to extreme lengths to get it. Also, lots and lots of talk about mice, so good luck with this one, musophobics! suggestions@ tra...

Traumatized Episode 39 - Wizards 11.01.2019 1:26:04
Remember when you were 7 and your parents left you with a babysitter and whatever animated movie they picked up at Blockbuster, and that movie turned out to be a incomprehensible post-apocalyptic tale about wizards fighting Nazis, featuring a pretty surprising amount of footage from Triumph of the Will for a family film? Well, somebody does, so we're taking a long look into the dark, weird void th...

Episode 35 - Flight of the Navigator 08.11.2018 1:14:09
This week's episode is a blast from the past, which is thematically appropriate since we're discussing Flight of the Navigator, a terrifying film about confronting mortality and also Pee-wee Herman in spaceship form, which is actually less upsetting than his human form. Go figure. suggestions@traumatizedpodcast.com Instagram + Twitter: @traumatizedcast facebook.com/TraumatizedCast

Join us as we journey into the brilliant mind of Jim Henson as he finds out what happens when you suck all the fun (and hot living essence) out of Muppets. We'll journey with Jen the Gelfling through a magical world, get totally grossed out by nude vultures, and ask ourselves why no one on this planet seems to have a clue how to get to Pound Town. Puppets—they're serious business. suggestions@tra...
Episode 30 - Teen Wolf 23.08.2018 1:39:05
Being a teenager is a confusing time. You have new feelings and sensations. You have hair where you didn't have hair before, like on your chest, face, back, and literally covering your entire body, and you also transform into a van-surfing, b-balling, pheromone-generating werewolf. This week, we're talking about the greatest teen horror sex sports comedy ever made, Teen Wolf. Next week: The Dark...

Episode 28 - Super Mario Bros. 09.08.2018 1:55:50
Wouldn't it be cool to see Nintendo's lovable plumber brothers spring to life on the big screen? To thrill to them powering up with mushrooms and stomping Goombas and Koopa Troopers on their quest to save the Mushroom Kingdom and rescue Princess Peach from Bowser's clutches? We imagine it would be, but this is not that movie. This is an inexplicable dystopian mess that makes a mockery of everythin...
Episode 27 - Dick Tracy 27.07.2018 1:48:11
This week, we're discussing a film that is sometimes pretty, sometimes grotesque, and stupid throughout. We're not sure what studio exec imagined the demand for kiddie noir, but this movie fulfilled it and then some. Join us as we untangle the dense and confusing plot of Warren Beatty's magnum opus, Dick Tracy. Next episode: Super Mario Bros. suggestions@traumatizedpodcast.com Twitter + Instagram...
