Aughtsterion

It's time, sleepover horror fans; it's time to go back to the 90s. As Sam and Jordan have established, the arc of Aughtsterion is not limited to the '00 to '10 run of the 2000s proper. Instead, it starts in the year of our lord (Wes Craven) and his landmark movie Scream, which was 1996, the very same year when Neve Campbell took us by storm twice in a pair of teen horror classics. The other of which was: The Craft. To break down this goth touchstone, your co-hosts are joined by a very special guest,

We may not be able to have Christmas parties in 2020, but we can still have solo Christmas dance parties in the confines of our homes. In this minisode, Sam and Jordan put together a dream playlist that will have you thinking of tinsel, Hervé Leger bandage dresses, twinkling lights, and applying thick coats of lip gloss while you listen to holiday tunes from the likes of the Lohan sisters, NSYNC, and even Los Del Río. XMas comes but once a year, and your co-hosts couldn't miss the opportunity to

Hang your stockings by the chimney with care, and don't forget to leave a gift for Billy under the tree, Aughtsterion fans, because this time around Jordan and Sam are joined by director Chelsea Stardust to discuss Black XMas from 2006. It's got a hall of fame cast, excessive amounts of eye trauma, impeccable Christmas vibes, a bad attitude, and a completely outrageous villain origin story. In other words, it's tank top horror all the way down to its bones. In addition to taking the Christ out of

With the holiday season and Hulu's Happiest Season upon us, that means it's time to tap into Sam's other most passionate realm of obsession: Christmas. From the Family Channel specials and straight to video releases of the 2000s through the Freeform, Hallmark, Lifetime, and Netflix entries of the 2010s, Sam looks past the ship wars of Clea DuVall's new holiday hit and takes Jordan on a quick tour of when and how Christmas started becoming XMas, and in the process gives you a programming guide for

Sometimes there's just too much aughts to pack into one episode of Aughtsterion, and when that happens we will serve you essential content in minisodes, the first of which features Sam going into manic detail about the five best Aly & AJ songs that don't get enough attention. It's the best time of year, and it's here, because Sam and Jordan are talking about 2000s era pop. Produced by: Jordan Crucchiola Theme music by: Sam Wineman

Now that you've all had a chance to immerse yourselves in the world of Aughtsterion, Sam and Jordan are pulling you down into the deep end with an obsessively considered reappraisal of the strange angel I Know Who Killed Me, starring not one but two Lindsey Lohans. You co-hosts go further into the cultural significance of 2007, and give you a graduate seminar on Lohan as a case study in the failures of both the media machine and its consumer engine. And like Sam will tell you: This is

In the debut episode of Aughtsterion, Jordan Crucchiola and Sam Wineman prove they aren't here to f--k around. For their first act of new horror canon consecration, your co-hosts make the case for 21st century The Hitcher, starring Sophia Bush and powered by Nine Inch Nails, as one of the best remakes of all time. (In any genre!) Join in to hear Sam explain his PhD in the year 2007, and to find out why this was the year aughts culture reached its boiling over point. You won't find a better

We've talked about The Thing. We've read treatises on Rosemary's Baby. We've dissected every last frame of Suspiria. The Classics of horror as defined by mainstream film criticism have had their many days in the sun, but as the Millennial Generation rises to become the dominant next wave of creatives in Hollywood, the time has come to honor the formative genre films that came out at the turn of the 21st century with their tank top-clad heroines, bootcut jeans, chunky highlights, sexy ensemble casts,
