Step right up… to your worst nightmare.
This episode, Matty & Andrew are diving honk-first into all things clown horror — from the origins of the clown (cute!) to the very real terror of the 2016 creepy clown panic (not cute!) to John Wayne Gacy, who used his alter ego Pogo the Clown to hide crimes too monstrous to comprehend.
And then we watched some movies. 🍿🎈
🎬 KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE — alien clowns, cotton candy cocoons, and a banger title track from The Dickies. Matty was underwhelmed. Andrew was not.
🎬 STITCHES — an Irish slasher where every kill mirrors a circus trick. Matty loved it. Andrew slightly less so. The Irish Film Industrial Complex remains undefeated.
Plus: Horror in Real Life, Whatcha Been Watchin' Bitch, and a closing game of CIRCUS ACT OR CULT ACTIVITY (because honestly… same energy).

It's a FRIGAY REWIND! Andrew is DRAGGING up one of our fave episodes— all about drag! Enjoy, FriGays, and we'll be back with a new episode soon.
Candles are lit. Boundaries are ignored. Consent is… actively debated with the afterlife.
This week, a séance goes horribly, flirtatiously wrong as we explore horror in real life:
👻 The history of séance grifters
🎩 Harry Houdini’s war on Spiritualism
🏛️ Mary Todd Lincoln’s White House séances and grief as survival
🦶 The Fox Sisters and the birth of modern spiritual scams
...and horror in the Movies:
🎥 THIRTEEN GHOSTS (1960) – gimmicks, goggles, and goofy chills
🎥 THE QUIET ONES (2014) – messy experiments and unrealized potential
And of course, we ask the only question that matters: Who’s Coming to the Séance?

What’s scarier than ghosts, cults, or cosmic madness?
👉 Insurance.
This episode, we tackle the true horror of prior authorizations, denied claims, medical debt, and a healthcare system that somehow finds a way to say “have you tried waiting until Monday?” 😱
👁️ Horror in Real Life:
• The UnitedHealthcare / Luigi Mangione case
• Why claims are often denied by default
• How AI is increasingly making life-or-death decisions
• Why medical debt remains the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the U.S.
• And why being “in-network” is basically a haunted house with contracts
🎬 This week’s films:
🪦 Macabre (1958) — complete with William Castle literally insuring the audience in case they died of fright
📚 In the Mouth of Madness — Lovecraftian apocalypse, metafiction, and Sam Neill losing his mind (again)
🧠 Plus:
• Whatcha Been Watchin’, Bitch?!
• A new game: Policy Plot Twist
• And the reminder that horror doesn’t always wear a mask—it sometimes wears a badge

Is cooking art? Is it trauma? Is it a gateway to poisoning your enemies? On this week’s FriGay the 13th, we’re stirring the pot — literally and historically — and diving into why the kitchen might be the scariest room in the house. We kick things off with an opening skit featuring Matty eating pasta like a raccoon behind a 7-Eleven (Andrew’s words, not ours). From there, things only escalate.
🔪 HORROR IN REAL LIFE — Foodies and the insufferable beauty of “The Menu” — SNAP, growing up cooking, and why everyone on the internet wants you to “scroll to recipe” — Poisonings throughout history: Aqua Tofana, inheritance powder, arsenic queens, mushroom murders, bleach coffee, and more — Listeria outbreaks + the worst food poisonings on record TL;DR: Trust nobody’s cooking. Especially your spouse’s.
🎥 WHATCHA BEEN WATCHIN’
+Andrew: The Naked Gun, Guts & Glory, Nobody Wants This S2, The Capulets
+Matty: FRANKENSTEIN, IN WAVES AND WAR, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, STRANGER THINGS S4
🍷 FILM 1: THE MENU (2022) Ratings: Matty 4.5 / Andrew 5
