Holy Terrors

Latest Episodes:

Ep. 19: Barton Fink (1991) Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

We conclude Hotter Than Hell Month with a movie that will show us the life of the mind, the Coen Brother's brilliant and inscrutable Barton Fink (1991). We do our best to divine the films mysteries--is the Hotel Earl Hell? Is Hollywood purgatory? Is Charlie the Devil or is he God? Is Barton released to Paradise by the end or still just trapped in his own head? There's plenty to discuss with one of the most unique movies we've ever covered.

Ep 18: High Plains Drifter (1973) Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

Hotter Than Hell Month continues with a trip into the old west town of Lago...or is it hell...for Clint Eastwood's sophomore directorial effort High Plains Drifter. We discuss what The Stranger really represents, the nature of hypocrisy, and the fear that people find inside them. So, is High Plains Drifter horror movie? And does it really touch on matters of faith, religion, and spirituality? We come to the conclusion that the answer to both is a resounding "yes!"

Ep. 16: The Hills Have Eyes (1977) Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Hotter Than Hell Month!

We pack up the camper and head out into the Nevada desert to dig into Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes. We all know that Craven was raised fundamentalist Baptist but what kind of effect did it have on his movies? More than you might expect from this savage classic. We discuss the ever-present Craven theme of "the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children" along with ancient myth and fairy tales, the silence of God, and what happens when the civilized becomes the savage. So buckle up and watch "the wind blow your dried up seeds away."

Ep. 15: Incantation (2022) Jul 24, 2026

Show notes

In this episode we discuss the brilliant Taiwanese found footage film Incantation (2022), a film that manages to be frightening and tug at the heart strings. We dive into the lore created for the film along with the real aspects that inspired both the story and the deity depicted in the movie. We also discuss having respect for the beliefs of others, the 'cursed film' subgenre, the nature of intention and perspective, and the lengths a parent would go to in order to protect their child.

If you haven't seen the movie it is available on Netflix and we both highly recommend checking it out before listening.
