Our Cult B-movie Summer Series draws to a close at last! It might have stretched over several months but it seems appropriate to conclude it on this most auspicious of days: HALLOWEEN.So, Happy Halloween all you ladies and gentleman! If you're here for a serious, academic critique... well, that's exactly what you're going to get! Clocking in with our second lowest budget of the series at $35,000, we present to you the first film in Damien Leone's popular trilogy, "Terrifier." Your whorror-hosts may have had one Buzzball too many, but join in the Halloween fun as Jenny and Kaitlin reminisce about BestieFest, discuss the cultural phenomenon that is JD Wetherspoons, and try to make out just what the hell their notes say?! Hey, it's a mystery and we wouldn't have it any other way.

The Cult B-Movies series is back... back to life! Like many of the corpses in this film... This week Jenny and Kaitlin tackle Stuart Gordon's seminal classic, "Re-Animator." There's 80s boobs, scream queen Barbara Crampton, naked corpses, and a class dedicated to scalp peeling. But that's not all! Your whorror-hosts dig into what exactly makes this a comedy vs a horror, lament the lack of character development for Meg, delight in the dramatic dialogue, and remind you: don't forget to keep your decapitated head moist! Join us, will you? We're just a couple of friends, hanging out, talking about defeating death.

The Cult B-Movie series continues! The terms "cult" and "B movie" are controversial ones to say the least, but Kevin Tenney's 80s classic "Night of the Demons" always seems to pop up on those top ten lists, so we're happy to join the party. I mean, would YOU rather be watching the Olympics? We didn't think so.Jenny and Kaitlin have a whale of a time discussing Linnea Quigley's ass, what constitutes a well-deserved eye gouging, and what may very well be the first female villain of a horror franchise. In true whorror-host fashion, it's all a bit chaotic and there is mention of a LOST EPISODE... ! Maybe someday you'll hear it - but in the meantime - rest easy knowing you've got bodacious boobies.

We're back, baby! Because there was a baby! But now it's season 2, it's summertime, we're reunited and what better way to celebrate than with a Cult B-movie series all about those low budget favorites?!Kicking things off is probably the lowest budget film in our series, Matt Devlen's "Ozone Attack of the Mutant Rednecks." And yes, the film is just as epic as the title makes it sound. In this very special edition episode your whorror-hosts were lucky enough to sit down with director Matt Devlen for an interview - which will also be featured on the Blu-Ray re-release of the film!Matt reveals behind the scenes details from filming on location in Texas, answers burning questions such as "why all the gore!?", and gets you up to date on everything he's been working on lately. Warning: this is not a Hollywood film - and we couldn't be happier about it.

Happy Halloween! And Happy birthday to us, we're two! We love to be consistently inconsistent and keep you on your toes - who knows when the next episode might be released?! But we are doing our best to keep them coming. This week we decided to tackle the beast that is Stanley Kubrick's polarizing ghost story, "The Shining." Your whorror-hosts discovered pretty quickly that they actually watched different versions: Jenny watched the shorter European version, and Kaitlin watched the longer US cut (appropriately). There's a lot going on as they compare versions, bring back the summary haiku, play "Rate the Bush," Jenny sings the soundtrack, Kaitlin gets really into the ATMOSPHERE, and we discuss whether or not Jack Nicholson has acting range, or is he just relying on those eyebrows?? It's fruit cocktail for weeks over here at the Overlook Hotel so come and play with us, forever...and ever.... and ever.

We're back! Kind of! We've decided to skip September entirely and head straight to October and the lead up to both Halloween and Jenny's impending birth! The weather is changing, the clocks are going back, and the pumpkin spice candles are ablaze in anticipation... This podcast may be haunted (by technical issues) but your whorror-hosts sound better than ever as they review Hannah Barlow and Kane Sene's independent Aussie horror, "Sissy," currently streaming now on Shudder. Listen in as Jenny and Kaitlin go through the checklist: - Realistic female dialogue in the women's bathroom? check - Glitter eye makeup and nail polish? check - References to Tucker and Dale vs Evil? double check! But it's not all silliness as they also dig into bullying - what constitutes it and what is justified because of it - social media and the masks we wear, and who exactly is the villain here??

Welcome to the 50th episode of Let's Watch Scary Movies! It may have taken us nearly 2 years to get here, but here we are at last... in rural Texas...

So grab your favorite human-mask, dim the lights, and listen in as we talk through one of the most iconic scary movies of all times... Your whorror-hosts go deep on character arcs, soundscapes, directing choices, and acting skills alongside lots of fun behind the scenes trivia and tidbits all told with a sprinkling of irreverent humor. Kaitlin praises the pacing, Jenny shares some VERY exciting news, Franklin is not having a good day, Grandpa can't hang, and there's lots to unpack with Sally as the first ever, and very unusual, Final Girl.... Is it 5's across the board?? Join us and find out!

A Series of Sequels part II comes to a close at long last with our final film in the series, James Cameron's, "Aliens." It's like the first one, but with more aliens! The sequels have gotten incrementally better as we've worked our way through the films, so it makes sense to end on a high note... Join your whorror-hosts as Jenny explains space, then she scores twice - because SHE CAN! - they discuss whether or not this is actually a Vietnam war movie, and for once they don't agree about the film! Oh, and the riveting conclusion to the burning question: Are sequels ever superior?? Tune in to find out...
