Progressively Horrified

We came up short a guest this week, so it's just the three hosts talking about a true classic where a whole town of people get taken out by some angry pigeons. But the real story of this thing is the red hot chemistry between Tippi Hedron and Suzanne Pleshette as Melanie and Annie. Sure, they're talking about a man that both of them claim to have the hots for, but the only chemistry happening is this slow burn yuri.Who's Responsible for this?Director: Alfred HitchcockWriters: Daphne Du Maurier, Evan HunterStars: Tippi Hedron, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, Veronica CartwrightWhat to check out next:Emily- THX 1138 Ben - Peacemaker season 2Jeremy - The Man who Knew to much, Rear WindowJOIN JEREMY'S ZOOP CAMPAIGN AND HELP MAKE GREAT COMICS! https://zoop.gg/c/slayTake our listener survey: http://bit.ly/progressivelyhorrified-surveySign up to support Progressively Horrified on Patreon for as little as $5 a month and get bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/c/progressivelyhorrified Hosted on Acast.

You've seen the slasher from every possible point of view...or have you? Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is about an aspiring slasher who brings along a documentary crew for the ride to show them what he does and how he does it. The humor is dark. The references are thick on the ground. The twists, well, you'll have to see those. This one created a hard point of disagreement between our usually agreeable hosts. Jeremy and Bee go eight rounds about whether the end of this movie works.

I don't think you should listen to this episode when it comes out. I mean, it's a good episode but god if it isn't January 9th 2026 and the world's one fire and everywhere you look some horrible shit is happening and that is this fucking movie in a nutshell. This movie is horrible shit happening for two plus solid hours and it feels like a nightmare and when you run out of animes to take plot and shot details from, you gotta move on to the Christian Bible.It's Mother! and it's a fucking ride.

Every year at this time of year we review our big list of movies we've watched for the last year and try to figure out where they go on the list of all the movies we've watched before. It's a big nasty list of video nasties and every year we duke it out to decide which ones join the ranks of the elite, which ones drop into the dregs of pointless nonsense, and which ones (most of them) end up somewhere in the middle.This year, the largest portion of our talk centers around one big question: Where does Sinners fall on the list?JOIN JEREMY'S ZOOP CAMPAIGN AND HELP MAKE GREAT COMICS! https://zoop.gg/c/slayTake our listener survey: http://bit.ly/progressivelyhorrified-surveySign up to support Progressively Horrified on Patreon for as little as $5 a month and get bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/c/progressivelyhorrified Hosted on Acast.
