Good Manners (AKA Werewolf Moses) w/ Sara Century

7/5/2024
Let my people AWOOOOOO! Time to talk about the Brazilian werewolves and lesbians! Good Neighbors is a fantastic film about falling in love with the absolute disaster pregnant bisexual woman who hires you to take care of her unborn supernatural child. Who hasn't been there? The movie truly answers the question "How do we make pregnancy even more scary and fucked up?" and it turns out the answer is werewolves! Didn't see that one coming, did you? Alicia had to cut a bunch of jokes, presumably because this one was just too funny and some people listen to this while driving and we don't want to be responsible for any traffic accidents. Okay, but what if a podcast about horror movies started killing people? CALL ME HOLLYWOOD! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Please welcome our newest guest Tomi Trembath! Tomi brought us the extremely interesting and difficult Sam Levinson film Assassination Nation. We're talking feminism, technology, and social media. We're talking a movie with four female leads, one of them a trans actress playing a trans girl. Meanwhile, Joel McHale is entering his creepy dad phase and we are deeply disturbed by it.

5/17/2024
What if we kissed in the haunted asylum? Anyway, it's time for some Korean twenty somethings to find themselves a Gonjiam Witch... a Blair Asylum? All we know for sure is that you can tell with 80% accuracy if a character in a Korean or Japanese film is Asian-American by whether or not they have a cool leather jacket. Charlotte has been to three of the five most haunted place in the world. Too bad she's not going to be able to complete that checklist. Steenz and Morgan are here to help us rachet up the tension!

One Cut of the Dead (AKA "Oh I'm Calm. Dead calm.") w/ Michael Tanner, Kevin Ketner, and Jay Joseph

5/3/2024
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 been staring at a tree and you're in the middle of the forest. It's an incredible work of heart and staggering genius about finding the art and love in making movies of moderate mediocracy. It's a movie about movies, but not in that way. Like, in a good way. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Underworld (AKA The Spirit of Nu Metal) w/ Phoenix Davis

4/12/2024
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 sexy vampires and sexy werewolves? A secret history? An evil mentor? Werewolf Michael Sheen vs Vampire Bill Nighy? It seems impossible to screw up... and yet! You do have to admire a movie about vampires and werewolves that constantly tells you that everything you know about vampires, werewolves, and even the details they just told you about the plot up until now is actually wrong! We're finally talking about Underworld and you don't want to miss it! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
