| THRILLERS: Psycho (1960) & The Silence of the Lambs (1991) | 24 Oct 2025 | 01:11:08 | |
It’s the thrilling ride you’ve all been waiting for. Episode 1️⃣2️⃣ explores two of the most beloved additions to the horror genre: Psycho, directed by the master of suspense, Sir Alfred Hitchcock and The Silence of the Lambs, directed by the brilliant Jonathan Demme.
.....
Before we dive into this episode, we want to make one thing clear: we love and support trans people, and we strongly believe in a world where everyone can live authentically and safely. We recognize that the portrayal of trans characters in the films, particularly in relation to the character of Buffalo Bill, is deeply problematic. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes and misrepresents the trans community in a way that we do not condone. This episode is meant to engage critically with the film, not to defend or justify these portrayals.
.....
Thrillers and horror so often overlap with their tension building, suspense, and intricate stories of intrigue and high stakes. On this episode we discuss the uncanny double, the lasting effect of these film's scores and cinematography, and the deep love we have for these complex characters.

It’s alive… and it’s also in the basement! Episode 7️⃣ covers the monster movie blueprint, Frankenstein, directed by James Whale and everyone’s favorite top-hat wearing queer icon, The Babadook, directed by Jennifer Kent.

My bestest bub Amber and I put Frankenstein and The Babadook side by side to see what happens when a god-complex meets a storybook nightmare. Tune in as we chat about grief, isolation, and parenthood across two centuries of stories.

| HORROR COMEDY - Little Shop of Horrors (1986) & Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) | 12 Sep 2025 | 01:15:38 | |
Laughing and screaming!? Let's get into Horror Comedy! Episode 6️⃣ explores the absurd camp and tom-foolery of Little Shop of Horrors (1986) directed by Frank Oz and the sardonic French wit of Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) directed by Ariane Louis-Seize.
Is Audrey 2 a vampire or an alien? How can levity and the darkest thoughts imaginable coincide to give us hope and also a spooky good time? And most importantly, why aren't we talking about the minutia of vampire life more often? This a great episode for anyone nervous about horror because its fun and silly!

Welcome to the motherload of episode 5️⃣. My best Judys, Missy & Bri, and I discuss the sub genre of Horror Drama, mama. With the inimitable, Titane (2021) directed and written by Julia Ducournau and the hauntingly touching, Nanny (2022) directed and written by Nikyatu Jusu.
..........
Is it possible for horror movies to touch our hearts? How can women’s roles in society lead to isolation and hardship? How can trauma show up in our bodies? And what was I thinking having two horror newbies watch TITANE????

| ART HOUSE HORROR - The Lure (2015) & I Saw the TV Glow (2024) | 29 Aug 2025 | 01:02:59 | |
Welcome to the dreamy (maybe more nightmarish) movies of episode 4️⃣. Lovely Jess and I discuss the sub genre of Art House Horror with the euro-trash disco romp, The Lure (2015) directed by Agnieszka Smoczynska and the beautifully haunting queer masterpiece, I Saw the TV Glow (2024) directed by one of my favorite directors right now, Jane Schoenbrun.
How can a story be told through vibes and flexible structure? What does it mean to have a body? What can indie horror teach us about identity and isolation? What’s the deal with mermaids, anyway? We especially loved the otherworldly connections the characters had to one another in both films.

| HORROR WESTERN - Ravenous (1999) & Let the Corpses Tan (2017) | 22 Aug 2025 | 01:09:44 | |
Episode 3️⃣ of the pod is here and boy it’s a yee-haw of a time, lil partner! My hilarious (and hot) buddy, William and I discuss the sub genre of Horror Westerns. With the cult classic, Ravenous (1999) and the euro-trash pulp fever dream, Let the Corpses Tan (2017) - how could you not have the time of your life?
.....
We discuss how the language in Ravenous evokes the same energy of conversion therapy and the pain of denying who you are. How Horror Western’s turn manifest destiny on its head, revealing how atrocious it is. How Guy Pearce stands up to Clint Eastwood. And most importantly, ghost queen performance artists. Saddle up, cowboy!

Welcome to Episode 2️⃣ of the pod! Join us in our gaggy goopy conversation of Body Horror, as we discuss one of my personal favorites, The Fly (1986), directed by THEE daddy of body horror, David Cronenberg & the disturbing coming of age cannibal flick, Raw (2016), directed by Julia Ducournau.
My favorite horror buddy, Donovan (composer of the pod’s music and also the one who makes each episode sound wonderful!), and I discuss why body horror is one of the hardest sub genres for people to watch, what it can symbolize, and how bodily transformation, sickness, and torture on the screen give us unforgettably creative stories and moving portrayals of relationships.

My brilliant friend, Evangeline, and I explore all things Witch, from feminism and empowerment to what it may look like to "burn a witch at the stake" in modern times. Also, why are witches associated with broomsticks? Do men belong in witchy spaces? And why did Eggers make the devil so daddy? 😈

| WELCOME TO HORROR? HARDLY KNOW HER! | 01 Aug 2025 | 00:12:00 | |
Welcome to the pod! I am thrilled to introduce you to season 1️⃣ of Horror? Hardly Know Her, a passion project I've had in my heart for a long time.
💀 This romp into horror films is an exploration of all the gritty and wonderful parts of being a human. Scary movies can be a powerful reflection of our deepest fears and desires. They provide a safe place to dissect heavy themes and feel fear but also an extremely connective, campy place to laugh and have fun. There is so much to learn and enjoy from the art form.
🔪 Join me and my extra special guests as we explore themes, patterns, and perspectives through this unique lens. Each episode will be structured around a sub genre of horror, with two movies from that sub genre serving as examples. As a queer woman, I also have made sure that half the movies discussed were made by women and non-binary directors and writers. Their voices are critical to this expansive look and new perspective on the art form.
