Shoutout to lap dances initiated by poetry!

This week, comedienne Hayden Johnson is here chatting Death Proof—the second half of Grindhouse (2007)! Tarantino’s sixth feature film sports both one of the best car chases (battles?) in film history and a final five minutes that has the power to instantly clear skin! That said, dear god are there a lot of feet in this movie. Press play to hear our thoughts!

A top 5 zombie movie (at least for Jesse) has entered the chat!

Planet Terror—the first half of the pastiche double feature that is Grindhouse (2007)—completely understands the assignment. From melting testicles to Fergie to award-winning barbecue this idiosyncratic masterpiece immediately achieved its goal to become a cult classic and then some. Press play to hear all of our thoughts, including but not limited to Stuart’s intense desire for Danny Trejo.

Wes Craven loves making movies about making movies and we love watching them! Katie Hettenbach joins the pod again this week to chat Scream 3—the most slapdash entry in the franchise that sees its cast, which includes the likes of Parker Posey, Jenny McCarthy, and Carrie Fisher, running around literal Hollywood only to later trip over each other in a climax straight out of Scooby Doo.

This week, we’re joined by Katie Hettenbach of the Katie Afraidy podcast to chat Scream 3! Before we get into that business, though, Katie walks us through some horror hot takes, the importance of Lisa Frankenstein (2024), and her role in a new Scream fan film! Press play wherever you get your scary good pods!

Come on, it’s…Maxxxine!

Much like Scream 3, the last film in Ti West’s pastiche Pearl trilogy is an incredible LA movie with many soundstages! Unlike Scream 3, though, Elizabeth Debicki girlbosses too close to the sun and Sophie Thatcher irresponsibly applies SFX makeup! Press play now!

We’re BACK!!

Multiple generations are locked in at the cineplex this weekend thanks to Backrooms—an adaption of director Kane Parsons long-viral YouTube series. In short, it rules! Press play for our full thoughts (and hear what Jesse *really* uses his Chromebook for. Giant captains abound!

“Where does Stuart end and Jesse begin?”

Just one of the existential questions we posited during our discussion of the meta masterwork that is New Nightmare (1994)—a movie that absolutely walked so Scream (1996) could run! Press play to hear our full thoughts (and another Madame Web tangent) on this series standout!

Peep this:

We’re kicking off the month with the grossly underrated Peeping Tom (1960), a movie which follows a cameraman who can’t stop scaring his victims to literal death on camera. With numerous “pov” shots, sequences featuring Sinister-esque home videos, and raunchy bodegas, this one’s for the freaks (and we really enjoyed chatting about it). Press play now!
