Backrooms (2026)

This week on Two Chicks and a Horror Flick, we're diving into Backrooms (2026), A24's surreal sci-fi horror film from director Kane Parsons, the young filmmaker who turned an internet horror phenomenon into a feature-length nightmare.When struggling furniture store owner Clark discovers a mysterious doorway leading to an endless maze of eerily familiar rooms, things go from bad to what fresh fluorescent-lit hell is this? pretty quickly.Join us as we wander through the film's bizarre architecture, unsettling liminal spaces, existential dread, and the strange psychology of places that feel familiar but deeply, deeply wrong. Does Backrooms successfully bring internet horror to the big screen? Is the real monster lurking in the maze, or is it something a little more personal? And seriously, who is paying the electric bill for this place?!Grab your flashlight, ignore that suspicious doorway, and come get lost with us. Just remember: if you noclip out of reality, you're on your own.Tangents include a nostalgic trip down memory lane as we reminisce about the wonderfully ridiculous local commercials of our childhood.Movie: Backrooms (2026)Director: Kane ParsonsTawny's rating: 3.5/5Miriam's rating: 3.5/5Send us Fan MailSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/

Two chicks, one very special guest, and a whole lot of conversation! This week we're digging into Obsession, the Curry Barker horror flick that went from a YouTube sketch channel to the highest-grossing horror movie of 2026. We're joined by Angelo—longtime fan of the pod, member of our horror community, and (fun fact) the photographer at Tawny's wedding!—to talk the One Wish Willow, Inde Navarrette's genuinely unhinged performance, and why "getting everything you ever wanted" might be the scariest sentence in the English language.Grab your snacks, lock the door, and never make a wish you can't take back. 🔮Perfect for fans of: psychological horror, horror-comedy, cursed object movies, and anyone who's ever had a crush go horribly, horribly wrong.Be sure to check out Angelo's beautiful photography @afspacebar Director: Curry BarkerTawny: 4.5/5Miriam: 5/5Angelo: 5/5Movie Review starts at 22:20Send us Fan MailSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/

Ireland. A haunted inn. A witch with a grudge. And one very unlucky writer who should have known better.This week, we are heading across the pond for another Damian McCarthy masterpiece, Hokum — the latest from the Irish filmmaker who gave us Caveat and Oddity and has apparently made it his personal mission to make sure we never sleep again. Adam Scott stars as Ohm Bauman, an author who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes and ends up with way more than he bargained for. Because of course he does.We're breaking down the atmosphere, the folklore, the scares — and yes, we have thoughts. McCarthy's slow-burn style is either your love language or your nightmare (or both), and we are absolutely here for it.Director: Damian McCarthyTawny: 3.9/5Miriam: 4.8/5Send us Fan MailSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/

In this follow-up Oscars episode, we dive into Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro’s long-standing passion project that made its mark at the Academy Awards. The film won three Oscars for its stunning craftsmanship, winning in Makeup & Hairstyling, Production Design, and Costume Design. The film stands as a celebration of hands-on craftsmanship, offering a striking counterpoint to the rapid rise of AI. (Full disclosure: I used ChatGPT to help me write these show notes. I'm sorry Mr. Del Toro!)Tangents include: Trust me: The False Prophet, Mary Shelley, and the year without a summer. Frankenstein (2025) Director: Guillermo del ToroTawny's rating: 3/5 Miriam's rating: 5/5Send us Fan MailSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/

We have a special Oscars episode for you this week with Bugonia which was nominated for 4 categories, but won none.

We get into the differences between the original and this adaptation, the themes, and, of course, the divisive ending. Tangents include: the incredible horror representation at the 2025 Academy Awards, if Hamnet is the new Shakespeare in Love, and how everything is plastic.Bugonia (2025)Director: Yorgos LanthimosTawny's rating: 3.8/5Miriam's rating: 4.9/5Send us Fan MailSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/
