Two Chicks and a Horror Flick

Two chicks, one very special guest, and a whole lot of conversation! This week we're digging into Obsession , the Curry Barker horror flick that went from a YouTube sketch channel to the highest-grossing horror movie of 2026 . We're joined by Angelo —longtime fan of the pod, member of our horror community, and (fun fact) the photographer at Tawny's wedding!—to talk the One Wish Will...

Ireland. A haunted inn. A witch with a grudge. And one very unlucky writer who should have known better. This week, we are heading across the pond for another Damian McCarthy masterpiece, Hokum — the latest from the Irish filmmaker who gave us Caveat and Oddity and has apparently made it his personal mission to make sure we never sleep again. Adam Scott stars as Ohm Bauman, an author who travels t...

In this follow-up Oscars episode, we dive into Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro’s long-standing passion project that made its mark at the Academy Awards. The film won three Oscars for its stunning craftsmanship, winning in Makeup & Hairstyling, Production Design, and Costume Design. The film stands as a celebration of hands-on craftsmanship, offering a striking counterpoint to the rapid rise o...

We have a special Oscars episode for you this week with Bugonia which was nominated for 4 categories, but won none. Bugonia is a remake of a 2003 Southern Koren film called Save the Green Planet! directed by Jang Joon-hwan. We get into the differences between the original and this adaptation, the themes, and, of course, the divisive ending. Tangents include: the incredible horror representation at...

This week on Two Chicks and a Horror Flick, we’re heading back to the iconic 80s vampire classic — The Lost Boys. Joining us are our new horror BFFs Ian and Evan from The Kilt and The Redneck Reviews, and we had an absolute blast revisiting this cult favorite. Motorcycles. Mullets. Leather jackets. And a whole lot of vampires. The Lost Boys gave us big-time nostalgia vibes. From the soundtrack to...

This week on Two Chicks and a Horror Flick , we’re diving into one of the strangest, most bizarre films we’ve ever covered… Tusk. And we couldn’t think of better people to get weird with than our longtime friends Marc and Brooke from A Podcast on Elm Street . We’ve been podcast friends for years, so this episode felt like hanging out and talking horror with old friends — just with a lot more walru...

Tawny's birthday pick was (unfortunately) Return to Silent Hill which is a movie adaptation of the game Silent Hill 2. We talk a lot about what was going on in the movie since the story became incomprehensible, but also compared it to the video game plot it was based on. Movie and game spoilers ahead! Tangents include: sleep studies and the wisdom of Ted Lasso. Don’t forget to subscribe, rate...

After years of waiting, we're finally saying goodbye to Hawkins, and trust us, this emotional rollercoaster hits different. We're breaking down that epic showdown, the gut-wrenching character moments that had us sobbing, and whether the Duffer Brothers stuck the landing after nine years of U...

For our first birthday month pick Miriam chose The Bone Temple! Howzat?! We have both been eagerly awaiting this follow up to 28 Years Later to see WTF was going on and this film did not disappoint. Picking up right where the last movie left off, we're thrown in with Sir Jimmy Crystal & The Finger Gang. We get into some of the themes like humanity, faith, and illness. Tangents include: Mi...

As always, we wander delightfully off track along the way, becau...

It’s our final episode of the year , and you know what that means—it’s time for our annual Year in Review . 🍾🖤 We’re pouring a drink, taking a breath, and looking back at a year filled with unforgettable movies, hot takes we stand by (and a few we absolutely don’t), community moments that meant the world to us, and some truly unhinged horror experiences. From movies that blew us away to ones, eh...

We talk character arcs, returning threats, and all the deliciously nostalgic horror influences that make Stranger Things the phe...

This week, we’re firing up the chainsaw and diving into one of the most influential horror films of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Whether you love it, hate it, or simply respect its place in horror history, there’s no denying the cultural impact of Leatherface’s grim, gritty debut. We break down the dinner scene that feels like a fever dream you can’t wake up from, the wild behind-...

For our last Timeless Terror episode we explore witches with the German film Hagazussa. Surprisingly this was the director's debut and a student graduation film. This is one story that's hard to separate the folklore from reality which made for an interesting discussion. Tangents include: religion, caffeine, and history. Hagazussa (2017)  Director: Lukas Feigelfeld Tawny’s rating: 3.5/5 ...

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into one of few modern horror slashers — Terrifier. Directed by Damien Leone, this blood-soaked indie became a cult favorite thanks to its sadistic villain, Art the Clown, and its unapologetically brutal approach to slasher horror. Tangents include: The Indifferent Stars Above (a non-fiction book about the Donner Party) and the new Monster: Ed Gein Story Netfli...

Our first October Timeless Terror movie honors the vampire! 🦇 This week, we sink our teeth into one of the most stylish and seductive vampire tales of the early 2000s— Queen of the Damned . 💀 We’re talking everything from that iconic nu-metal soundtrack (hello, early 2000s nostalgia) to Aaliyah’s unforgettable performance as the fierce and mesmerizing vampire queen, Akasha. 🖤 Join us as we brea...

This week, we’re stepping into Ireland’s misty folklore with Fréwaka —the first Irish-language horror film, and oh boy, it does not hold back. This isn’t just a spooky story; it’s a raw, unsettling look at grief, guilt, and the shadows of tradition.

This week, now screaming: Final Destination Bloodlines (2025)! Death has a brand-new blueprint, and we’re here for it! This week, we dive into Final Destination: Bloodlines—the highly anticipated next entry in the franchise that taught us to fear seatbelts, tanning beds, roller coasters, and literally just being alive. So grab your popcorn, check your surroundings (twice), and join us as we find o...

We are stoked to be talking about another Zach Cregger film! Just like an incredible pasta, the longer we marinate on this movie the more we like it! We try to puzzle out why the film's named Weapons, get into the possible themes, and theorize about everyone's favorite new aunt Gladys. Tangents include: Trainwreck Area 51, Final Destination, and stickers. If you have seen Weapons we woul...

This week we’re diving headfirst into the eerie world of underground Russian occultism with the Philippou brothers’ latest film, Bring Her Back. Known for their breakout hit Talk to Me, the brothers return with another grief-soaked, nerve-shredding horror that has us obsessed. We explore the shared themes of grief, possession, and loss... and ask: are these two films connected in other ways? Tange...

This week, we jam through Ryan Coogler’s ambitious vampire blues-horror set in 1932 Mississippi. Sinners isn’t your average blood-sucker flick—it’s a visceral, soulful tale of identity, community, and the cost of cultural exploitation. Its lush visuals, haunting blues score, and powerful performances—especially Michael B. Jordan’s dual turn—make it one memorable ride. Tangents include: Tacotopia,...

CHEERS YA'LL! It's our 5 year anniversary!  In this episode, we dive into 28 Years Later. Join us as we talk about illness vs infection, the way the movie humanizes the infected, and the cultural themes of isolation. And you KNOW we have to talk about that contentious ending...but the future of this franchise looks bright! Tangents include: Miriam becoming a behavioral expert, Tawny&apos...

This week, we’re diving into the deeply weird and wildly original world of Grafted , the Shudder original sci-fi body horror that had us both squirming and thinking. Directed by Sasha Rainbow in her feature debut, Grafted follows a brilliant but socially isolated student who inherits her father’s controversial experiments… and let’s just say things get messy . Identity, obsession, grief, and stitc...

We're back with our April episode on Longlegs! This movie generated so much buzz and certainly did well at the box office last year, but what in the hell was going on in the movie? We try to parse the plot while constantly getting hung up on metal balls. Both of us agree that the atmosphere of this movie is great, there's a lot of things to like, but ultimately it didn't come togeth...
