Happy Harry Warden Day to all who celebrate! In this edition, we get Valentine Bluffs-pilled and prepare to move to a remote mining town obsessed with Valentine’s Day. Plus, we play another round of “Would We Even Have Horror Movies If Men Would Just Get Therapy.” Thank you all for being our precious Valentines!
CW This episode has mentions of self harm, suicide, and sexual assault.A visual stunner and a conceptual “huh, why?” all in one! We’re covering the Love Witch, a drop dead gorgeous movie that really wanted to subvert traditional gender roles and we really wanted it to shut up about it already. We’ll get into it all, and more!
Even though climate apocalypse is upon us and it’s 60 degrees in January, we’re celebrating winter with a chillingly stupid horror flick from grade-a ding dong, Adam Green; Frozen! You won’t find Anna and Elsa in this movie, but there are unrealistic wolf attacks, a strong misogynistic undercurrent, and a Kirkland brand Zac Efron.
this episode has a cw for SAHappy holidays you ho ho hos! This week, we continue our time honored tradition of covering a version of Black Christmas each holiday season. We have made it to 2019, which means someone else needs to remake Black Christmas before next year. Enjoy, and all the warmest wishes!
Abby and Rebecca are back to chat about Hitchcock’s Psycho, along with our burgeoning fixation on cutie pie Anthony Perkins. Plus, we discuss all the ways Marion Crane could have been a more effective thief!
**This ep has a cw for suicide and self harmBe warned - we have access to JSTOR again so it’s OVER for you bitches. This week, we’re chatting about Korean zombie flick #Alive, set in a Rear Window-esque apartment setup but with flesh eating. It’s sad, funny, gross, and SSC approved!
This week Abby and Rebecca cackle over Fright Night (2011). There are discussions of vampiric lore, boring female characters, and lots and lots of I,Tonya talk. Can you film a vampire? Let’s find out!
This bi-week(ish), Abby and Rebecca are discussing Pan’s Labyrinth! Join us as we break down more shit we don’t understand (the Spanish Civil War) and imagine a world where men get therapy.
We’re back to decimate another beloved horror staple with the Blair Witch Project! Despite antagonist Heather’s professed desire to “avoid cheese”, it is SO cheesy and cringe, but then we also end up drawing parallels with snuff films so who even knows what’s going on. But, as usual, the filmmakers definitely hate women!
Wan and Whannell are making another appearance on the Cast with Insidious! This movie finds Rose Byrne playing a weird simpering housewife in some very frumpy floral tops, cementing our opinion that James Wan really hates women. Plus: our angelic genre hero Lin Shaye and the Darth Maul demon!
It’s our first ever animated movie! Also please forgive Abby’s almost unlistenable audio in the first half - she is an elder millennial and doesn’t know how to use her computer!This week, we’re talking Coraline. It’s an enchanting and stunning feat of stop-motion animation, but unfortunately we’ve got a mommy complex, people! Plus, fat women as punchlines, the tokenization of black and brown characters, and a dancing mouse circus. Listen now!
