Bryan and Joe return to discuss Wounds (2019), the adaptation of Nathan Ballingrud's short story "The Visible Filth".

Written and directed by Babak Anvari, the film doesn't offer much new beyond the novella, especially the stilted performances by Armie Hammer & Dakota Johnson. Still, we applaud some of the imagery, including the use of real cockroaches and Cronenbergian armpit horror.

Bryan and Joe return to discuss Nathan Balingrud's short story anthology Wounds: Six Stories From The Border of Hell (2019).

This one is <nearly> there for us, though some stories are too short ("The Maw") while others are too long ("Skullpocket"). But when one hits, like the finale "The Butcher's Table", we're obsessed.

Plus: Barker-esque body horror imagery; why Bryan needed more obvious connective tissue; and our interest in the film adaptation.

Nichole returns to unpack Kurtis David Harder's Influencer (2022), which is much more than a typical social media horror entry and handles its disability (CW's birthmark) in a fascinating way.

This one is a pleasant surprise!

Curry Barker’s Obsession (2026) is one of the most-talked about horror movies of the year, and Nichole couldn’t resist getting in on the fun. Instead of focusing on the broader themes of misogyny and what an awful, awful person Bear is, let's recontextualize the relationship between Nikki and Bear through a lens of caring for partner with additional support needs – and the impact it can have.

Bryan and Joe return to discuss Gretchen Felker-Martin's 'Hellbound Heart'-referencing Black Flame (2025)

The challenging story of a self-hating queer Jewish woman who becomes embroiled in a hallucinatory lost film can be difficult, but we quite like how the novel plays in the sandbox of disgust to explore Ellen's transformation.

Plus: "is she going mad or is it real?" narratives; gnarly body horror; disgusting men; and a Hellraiser 3 ending.

In this episode of Bodies of Horror, we are going in super deep about old-age horror. Since May is Older Americans Month, it felt appropriate to talk about the good and bad of how aging is represented in horror, and how it is very similar to disability, as May is Older Americans Month.

Joe, Jenn, and Gena return to talk about the other post-partum, horror adjacent text from 2025: Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love.

Starring an extremely committed Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, this is another tough watch in the vein of If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.

Plus: Sissy Spacey and Nick Nolte; an uncertain time setting; frank discussions about personal experiences; and speculation about why Lawrence was passed over for Oscar recognition.

Joe and Sharai are back to talk about FROM S04E03 "Merrily We Go" which finds everyone trying to *do* something.

Fatima gets a rage room; Tabitha wants to go tree jumping; and Ethan is looking for the Lake of Tears.

But it's Victor's reaction to The Man in the Yellow Suit's clothes and Sophia's plans for Julie that have us intrigued.

Also: is Julie still queer?

First up: Hailey Piper's cosmic horror book, A Game In Yellow, which made Joe immediately think of Bryan.

We're talking explicit queer sexuality, a risky (but successful) format, Dom/Sub kinkiness and whether it is hot, and a devastating ending that is both inevitable AND surprising!

Nichole delves back into sick kid territory with 2013’s The Harvest. This film does some nuanced things when it comes to the narrative of overbearing, harmful parents/caregivers, which softens the blow of some weaker narrative threads.

Instead of the film being an exploration of caregiver stress and burnout, like we’ve covered in other episodes, The Harvest lets us exist with Andy’s perspective albeit with a twist at the end.

Nichole returns to unpack the horrors of COVID-19 with the Kevin Williamson and Katelyn Crabb-penned film Sick (2022), directed by John Hyams.

Hagsploitation, or narratives that root themselves in “crazy old woman” tropes, can be a lot of fun. They can also inspire a lot of cringe, particularly as we deal with the realities of aging and disability.

Crazy Old Lady, an Argentinian film (available on Shudder), brings something new to the table. Unlike other entries in this subgenre, the film allows us to both question and understand the reality of our central character. Throw in themes of caregiving and how ageism – and the hagsploitation genre as a whole – is built on our fears of aging and illness, and this movie is about a lot more than initially meets the eye.

Bryan and Joe reunite to discuss the 15th anniversary of Victor Garcia's Hellraiser: Revelations (2011), Dimension's last ditch attempt to retain the rights to the franchise and the first film without Doug Bradley.

We maintain that this one has potential - from the gentle queer coding to the found footage angle to the practical FX - but Gary J. Tunnicliffe's script (and some truly terrible adult actors) never manage to overcome the low budget and speedy production. It's a miss.

In Katt Shea's Poison Ivy, Drew owns everything, which proves a bit problematic when she's not on screen.

Happy American Heart Month! What better time to do the pod's first revisit – all the way back to Episode 1 - than with the 1992 classic, Dr. Giggles? This film has had a piece of Nichole's heart since childhood when she would use it to help talk about disability with friends. Now, many decades later, the film still packs more nuance than even she remembered.

Gena, Jenn, and Joe are back from a slightly extended holiday break to talk patron saint of the pod Rose Byrne and her Oscar-nominated performance in writer/director Mary Bronstein's gruelling If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025).

This film is *not* playing around: it is incredibly rough, but it is also effective and even necessary.

A cure can be alluring – especially when your prognosis is only 6 months. In Mother of Flies, Lena is a young cancer patient who is surrounded by a religious family and community asking her to rely on prayers as her condition becomes more grave. This film also looks at how care becomes a dehumanizing task that can strip someone of autonomy, intentions be damned.

Terry and Joe wrap up another series of Sexy & Surreal with a look at Caitlin Cronenberg's 2024 feature directorial debut, Humane.

The Canadian film has a great cast of familiar faces, but as a satire, it doesn't have enough bite. There's plenty of potential here, and we're curious to see what Caitlin does next, but this doesn't quite come together.

Plus: wrapping up thoughts on Caitlin, Brandon & Jennifer overall, and how the landscape has changed since their famous fathers started their filmmaking careers.

Terry and Joe tackle our final Lynch title as we discuss Jennifer Lynch's last film, 2012's Chained.

From misguided accusations of torture porn to a bizarre 'twist' ending, this film is *interesting*. Still, the performances from Vincent D'Onofrio and Eamon Farren are outstanding, and the premise has plenty of promise.

Plus: nature vs nurture, the film as play, and Lynch's "booked and busy" TV career

Gena, Jenn, and Joe wrap up another year of White Ladies in Crisis with the Doug Campbell Lifetime film, Stalked By My Doctor (2015).

Starring an extremely campy Eric Roberts as a pervy cardiologist, we address the seriousness of the issue before acknowledging this film is just plain fun.

Plus: survivor Sophie and her terrible/villainous boyfriend, useless parents, the most ridiculous dialogue, and the other titles in this franchise (?!?!)

Bodies of Horror chats about holiday classic Gremlins (1984), but Nichole is keeping the discussion centered on disability, caregiving, and failed systems of care.

What begins as a chaotic holiday creature feature reveals deeper anxieties about dependency, rigid rules, moral panic, and who society deems “too much” to support. Gremlins asks whether the real horror lies not in difference, but in our refusal to build structures capable of sustaining it.

Terry and Joe descend upon Li Tolqa to discuss Brandon Cronenberg's third film, Infinity Pool (2023), which features a divisive Mia Goth performance (we *love* it BTW). It also has numerous intriguing storylines that meander a bit by the end, but perhaps that's the whole point?

Plus: the downbeat ending; satire & politics; James as an emasculated dog; and anticipation for Cronenberg's new space-set film

For this episode, Nichole is taking a look at 2016’s The Autopsy of Jane Doe. A father-and-son coroner pair perform an autopsy on an unidentified woman and, as her secrets get revealed, she begins to represent so many bodies of horror, including bodies dismissed, bodies treated as inhuman, and bodies controlled. As the two men try to “help” her, they do so while using the tools that caused her pain and destruction in the first place.
