Night of the Demons 2 (1994) Oct 28, 2026

Show notes

Fill that Super Soaker with holy water and get ready for a little head, tiger, because we're discussing Brian Trenchard-Smith's hilarious straight-to-video sequel Night of the Demons 2 (1994)! C/W: sexual assault.

Join us as we celebrate Halloween with Angela (Amelia Kinkade) at Hull House (and St. Rita's Academy), snakes and all. It's a movie that made Joe exclaim "You don't expect boobs to turn into hands!" Slap it on the poster.

Plus: learning about fellatio, the return of the demonic lipstick, and heaping all of the praise on Jennifer Rhodes' Sister Gloria, who may be our new favorite horror movie character.

Carrie (2013) feat. Phillip Iscove Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Step on the gas because we're are revisiting another Carrie adaptation with Kimberly Peirce's 2013 film.

Joining us for the discussion is Podcast Like It's... co-host and Sleepy Hollow creator Phillip Iscove, who didn't like the film 10+ years ago and still doesn't!

Plus: the lack of queerness in such a heavily queer-made film; the "money shot" scene; praising Portia Doubleday's Chris; and tangents on Richard Kelly and Chloé Zhao.

Bug (2006) Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

We saved the best for last as we conclude "Thanks for the Judds," a six-week programming block on Ashley Judd thrillers, with a look at William Friedkin's controversial 2006 adaptation of Tracy Letts' play Bug, which boasts a career-best performance from Judd.

So finish that impromptu tooth extraction and destroy that smoke alarm because we're going all in on this supremely disturbing film (though Friedkin considers it a black comedy!). You'll hear us say it in the episode, but this is a great fucking movie.

Plus: offering a primer on Tracy Letts, returning to the dreaded F CinemaScore, and heaping all the praise on Judd's iconic "Super Mother Bug" monologue that closes the film.
