Get ready to suck in that muffin top, shed a few pounds and put on your best dress because we’re going to the ball, Cinderella! This week on the pod we watched a body horror delight from this year in “The Ugly Stepsister”. Join us as we discussed the nuanced nature of this messy lead character who only kind of deserves what she’s got coming to her. But let’s be real, in this fantastic depiction of 1800’s Norway (and in any time period really), being a woman is about survival of the fittest; or in

This week on the pod we’re heading down under (Kinda) for a continued discussion on Video Nasties (But, not really) as we watched a classic in both New Zealand film and splatter horror in Peter Jacksons (yes, THAT one) 1992 Horror Comedy, Dead Alive!

This week on the pod, we’re closing out Bummer Summer with the granddaddy of cautionary tales to the restless youth of America with Larry Clark’s 1995 film “Kids”. Join us as we revel in the horror of what it’s like to experience this film through the lens of adults and reminisce on our own teenage fuckery.

Join us as we foray into the first Todd Solondz film for the podcast and contextualize just what makes this director a perfect contender for the podcast.
