Life and Beth - Cloverfield (2008)

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2022/06/07

How good does the sex have to be to risk all your friend’s lives? That, it seems to us (or the one who’s writing this, anyway) is the central question of JJ Abrams’s 2008 ode to monster movies, CLOVERFIELD. This might make Clovie the biggest cockblocker since Lysistrata. Get into this quandary and more as Meg and Kris dodge ginormous parasites, run around in heels, and never make it to Japan with this rag tag team of doomed wingmen this week on the pod! Created

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2022/05/24

You ever hear the one where she hears the scraping of her dead boyfriend's shoe on the car roof? Or how my friend had a friend who's cousin's husband's uncle had a kid that got 15 razors, a rifle bullet, and heroin in his Halloween candy? That last one may have been exaggerated a bit, but you know - urban legends! Spooky stories for around the campfire and of course inspiration for a serial killer.

Head of the Investigation - Se7en (1995)

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2022/04/19

We know you've been lusting after a new episode, so here's something to feed your gluttony - take a dive into the world of SE7EN (1995) with Meg and Kris as they try to determine if the number 7 is a suitable replacement for the letter V (this is not actually discussed, but we can agree it's not, right?). Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are no sloths at trying to find the seven deadly sins serial killer, played here with overarching morality by Kevin Spacey, which we now know is sadly ironic. The cops

A Friend For Dinner - The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2022/04/05

Hel-, I mean, good evening, wait...'sup, Clarice! Now there's a catchall I think we can all agree on. Join Meghan and Kristin this week as they descend into the oubliette of 1991's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, where they can only hope they can forget some scenes in this film. That being said, both Hopkins and Foster's performances are too great to be denied among the gruesome victims, huge moths, screaming lambs, fava beans and chiaaaanti. Please listen, we don't want to get the hose again! Created and

Slicker Man - I Know What You Did Last Summer

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2022/03/08

You know, it really sucks when you’re trying to cover up a murder and the guy’s not dead. And then you try to drown him, but he’s STILL not dead. And THEN, he passes you notes like some kid in middle school that “he KNOWS” or whatever. Some murder victims just don’t know how to stay murdered. This is the case in 1997’s I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, which Meg and Kris struggle with like so many crabs in a trunk. Let’s just say they weren’t exactly “hooked” on this one.

Man of Your Dreams – Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2022/02/08

If there’s anything that the hosts of this show can agree on, it’s that sleep is GREAT. A good 8-9 hours at night if we can get it, and all the naps, naps, NAPS that can possibly be fit into a 24-hour period. Talk about taking that away? Now THAT’s truly horrific. Join Meg and Kris as they down coffee with Nancy in NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984), dodging Freddy and his terrible sweater and knife-fingers along the way. I mean, the combo of those fashion choices with that hat is enough of a nightmare

2022/01/25

You thought Eminem had it bad – but before anyone ever heard of Stan, there was Annie Wilkes.

Dirty Pillow Talk – Carrie (1976)

2022/01/11

Ah, high school. A time where you can spend an infinite amount of time in the exceedingly large locker room and shower after gym, leisurely washing yourself until you get your period, start screaming, girls throw tampons at you, and the teacher slaps you. Fun times...at least you had your psychic powers and lust for revenge to get you through. Doesn’t sound like your high school experience? Us either, but it was Carrie White’s!

Mutant Mitosis - Annihilation (2018)

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2021/12/14

Aliens are one thing, but what about when the alien is the environment and instead of your standard abduction it wanted to change you from the inside out? THIS is the horror of Annihilation; the notion that something would take us and make us into something new. It's not even clear if this alien wanting is something evil - what if, like everything else, humanity should die to make room for the next evolution? These are the heady questions Meg and Kris grapple with as they step into the Shimmer with

Spelunk ‘n Go Nuts - The Descent (2005)

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2021/11/30

Haunted Houses are great and all; spooky attics, creaky stairs and whatnot. But you know what’s scarier than a haunted house? The horrors of nature, baby! Throw your cast in a cave with threat of falling rocks, tight spaces, bats, and flesh-eating demons. Oh, did we mention the flesh-eating demons? This week, Meg and Kris crawl into the claustrophobic world of THE DESCENT (2005), where the definition of “girl’s trip” is some badass, dangerous, scary af spelunking (and we’re here for that!). So

To All the Boys I’ve Eaten Before – Jennifer’s Body...

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2021/11/16

If there’s anything the hosts of this show know, it’s that hell is a teenage girl – thank goodness they had each other in high school (we’re old, we know)! This episode, Kristin and Meghan revisit the highs and lows of teenage hormones in JENNIFER’S BODY, the 2009 Diablo Cody-penned horror comedy. It’s an exploration of the infinitely-edged sword of female sexuality; how we can use it for and against ourselves. That and whether or not “Low Shoulder” is any kind of a name for a band, especially one

Fifty Ways to Ghost Your Lover - Crimson Peak (2015)

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2021/11/02

Edith Cushing's been living her whole life with a ghostly warning from her dead mother - "BEWARE CRIMSON PEAK!" It really would have helped if she had clarified just a little. This episode, Meg and Kristin spill all the poison tea about the gothic world of CRIMSON PEAK (2015), Guillermo Del Toro's film about ghosts, incest, and a lot of information about clay.

Not Fun in the Summertime – Midsommar (2019)

We can all agree that if you happen on a bunch of blonde people wearing white and singing and dancing in unison, you run, right? You certainly don’t decide everyone wants to bed you and piss on the ceremonial tree (looking at you, Mark). This episode, Kristin and Meghan dance till they drop in the world of MIDSOMMAR (2019), Ari Aster’s sun-soaked follow up to the shadowy, sinister Hereditary.

What To Suspect When You’re Expecting - Rosemary’s...

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2021/09/21

Ok, so if you’re going to get a mansion of an apartment in Manhattan on a Z-list actor’s salary you HAVE to know Satan has something to do with it right? Ok, maybe not, but they might as well have used this excuse among the many, MANY others as to why poor Rosemary should bear demon spawn. This week, Meg and Kris turn on the gaslight with the nightlight as they discuss ROSEMARY’S BABY (1968), a movie where the only thing scarier than the Devil himself is society’s inability to, you know, listen to a

Treehouse of Horror - Hereditary (2018)

The Nightlight Podcast ·

2021/09/07

Parental issues are always difficult, but what’s a girl to do when mommy doesn’t think you’re even good enough to join her greedy demon-worshipping cult? That type of rejection stings, and permeates protagonist Annie Graham’s bones throughout HEREDITARY (2018). Ari Aster’s debut film is a world where nasty secrets, decapitations, and suicidal birds tear a family apart while weirdly bringing them together in a swinging treehouse party. What more could you ask for? Created

America’s Scariest Home Video: Paranormal Activity...

2021/08/17

We all know the drill when dating, you talk about your likes, dislikes, turn-ons, turn-offs, whether or not malevolent spirits are attached to you – all important things to know about a romantic partner. One would think that’s important info before one moves in with someone, but is it really your fault when your boyfriend is a smug f-boy anyway? These are the concerns of the 2007 found-footage flick PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, where Meghan and Kristin navigate a world of hauntings, scared mediums, and the
