The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) feat. Matt Monagle Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

Bow down before the furnace because we are talking about Oz Perkins' 2015 debut film The Blackcoat's Daughter. Joining us is mega-fan Matt Monagle from Certified Forgotten, who counts this as his #1 horror film.

After Trace takes us through the botched release schedule (with a few jabs at A24 and DirecTV), we dig into this intimate, dread-filled film which features three fantastic female performances and oozes atmosphere.

Plus: Joe's "dumb dumb" first watch reactions, the tragedy of Rose never realizing she's in a horror film, Lauren Holly's one take wonder, more Emma Roberts appreciation, and the lingering effect of those final scenes.

Housebound (2014) Jan 26, 2022

Check your ankle monitor, grab your cheese grater and prepare for lockdown because we're heading to New Zealand to discuss Gerard Johnstone's hilarious comedy horror film Housebound (2014)!

Join us as we discuss Johnstone's background in television before looking at the film through Philip Brophy's not-so-household term "horrality." Then we pretty much just spend the rest of the episode laughing at the endless barrage of hilarious scenes that Housebound throws our way!

Plus: Famous Amos, a lesson on how to navigate Rotten Tomatoes, Trace learns about commonwealths (and Coronation Street!) and Joe's real-life New Zealand horror story involving....an apple?

The Lords of Salem (2013) feat. Adrian Torres Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

Don't go into Apartment 5! For 2013's "underseen or underrated" we're joined by Boom Howdy's Adrian Torres to talk about Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem.

There's no shortage of things to discuss, including Zombie's divisive reception by horror fans and accusations of nepotism for casting wife Sheri Moon in his projects (we like her, so back off!).

Plus: questions about who the villain is, praise for the low budget production design, the "cunty" three witches, Joe fangirls over Meg Foster and Ken Foree, Trace's grim reading of Heidi's fate and debates about just how blasphemous this text is.

Also: 1, 2, 3, 4, Mambo #5

Surprise, Sidney! We've got the iconic Kevin Williamson on the line and we're asking him all the questions you've been dying to ask him over the years about the beloved Scream franchise, including but not limited to:

What exactly happened with those script leaks during the production of Scream 2?

Which part of his Scream 4 script is he most bummed didn't make it into the final cut?
Is Robbie really gay?
And just what were his plans for Scream 5 and Scream 6 had Scream 4 been successful?

Porno Queers: 'Scream' Parody 'Cream For Me' (2016) Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

Explicit Content Warning - Don't let Trace's mom listen to this!

To celebrate the arrival of Scream (2022), we're checking out Bromo's gay porn parody, Cream For Me (2016), starring Tom Faulk, Tobias, Vadim Black, James Parfitt and Brad Banks as Ghostface.

Following an overview of our experiences with porn, we break down this four part series scene by (lazy) scene. It's all up for discussion: cheap production values, power bottoms vs slow fucking, 4K buttholes, straw taints, and incest & rape fantasy. We're not trying to yuck anyone's yum, but we demand better! Thankfully Joe has some (future?) recommendations.

American Mary (2012) feat. Becky Sayers Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

Grab your black leather apron and your surgical tools because we're visiting the offices of Dr. Mary Mason in the Soska Sisters' 2012 rape-revenge film American Mary. Joining us for the discussion is Becky Sayers, co-host of the Paper Street Podcast.

Join us as we discuss the film's influences before picking apart the mixed messaging of the film (feminist themes, destigmatization of the body modification community) and having another candid discussion about rape in cinema.

Plus, more Lizzie McGuire, Dr. Alan Grant (no, not that one), controversial off-screen antics, fancy doctor barn lofts and plenty of uh...flesh squelches.
