Hokum (2026)

Apparently reviewing Hokum (2026) wasn’t enough for Logan… so he bought an Irish hotel. Welcome to Logan’s Dread & Breakfast, where the doors mysteriously lock behind you, the continental breakfast is basically Mountain Dew, Bearclaw has his own VERY special room, and we’re pretty sure this place is one insurance claim away from financial stability. 🔥Once we survive check-in, we dive deep into Hokum (2026) and ask the important question: Is this one of the BEST supernatural horror movies of the year… or did Adam Scott just spend two hours tripping on mushroom whiskey and running from an Irish witch? 🍄👻In this episode of the Mouths of Madness, we break down Damian McCarthy’s latest nightmare, including the creepy Irish hotel setting, terrifying jump scares, Adam Scott’s performance, the mysterious witch, Jack the Jackass, THAT ending, and most importantly… Jerry and his legendary mushroom goat milk. 🐐🍄🔥 Key Moments00:00 Intro – Welcome to Logan’s Dread & Breakfast 04:42 Hokum (2026) – Cast, Box Office & Rotten Tomatoes08:20 Why We Chose Hokum + Overall Thoughts28:06 Ohm Bauman – Guilt, Trauma & the Hero’s Journey34:38 The Haunted Hotel, Irish Folklore & Atmosphere38:01 Is the Witch Actually Real?! 52:02 Breaking Down the Witch, Trauma & Hokum’s Ending1:02:52 The Wrap Up – Conspiracy Theories & Hot Takes 1:09:09 Hall of Slain – Who Makes the Cut? 1:12:48 Hook, Line & Stinker 1:21:53 Final Ratings – Killer / Survivor / Victim 1:29:06 Audience Takes & What We’ve Been Watching Episode 68Featuring Kevin, Dan, Bearclaw & LoganProduced by NathanMouths of Madness is a long-form horror podcast dedicated to deep-dive discussions on classic, cult, and disturbing horror films—with an unhinged twist.Support The Show!https://www.patreon.com/MouthsofMadness">PatreonJoin The Madness!https://linktr.ee/mouths.of.madness">LinkTree“We All Go Mad” Theme Music by Nathan

🔥 Female Trouble (1974) might be one of the most UNHINGED movies we’ve ever reviewed.John Waters + Divine + cha-cha heels + a bowl of spaghetti = absolute CINEMA. 😂 In this episode, we dive into the filthy, hilarious, low-budget madness of Female Trouble, debate whether it actually qualifies as horror, discuss why Divine’s Dawn Davenport is somehow impossible NOT to root for, and ask the important question: Is crime really beauty?From the legendary Christmas meltdown to acid attacks, fish, questionable parenting, the most chaotic dinner party imaginable, and an electric-chair finale… John Waters certainly gave us plenty to talk about.We also break down the movie’s cult status, its punk-rock DIY style, the performances, its surprisingly relevant themes about fame and crime, and whether Female Trouble is the BEST gateway into the wonderfully disgusting world of John Waters.🔥 Key Moments00:00 Female Trouble (1974) Review 02:11 Why Female Trouble? | Our First Impressions09:14 Pink Flamingos vs. Female Trouble16:34 Does the LOW Budget Make It Better?19:51 Was John Waters Ahead of His Time?25:53 Dawn Davenport: Villain, Hero or Both?32:01 The INSANE Characters of Female Trouble42:00 The Dashers, Fame & “Crime Is Beauty”47:00 The Nightclub, Spaghetti & TOTAL CHAOS1:04:29 Quote or Kill1:07:52 Letterboxd Ratings (Final Scores) 1:12:40 What We've Been Watching (Horror Recs & Recent Watches) Your hosts- Kevin, Nathan, and GillProduced by NathanCheck out the video format of this episode on YouTube🪓 Follow Straitjacket Talk ↓All links, socials & more:Linktree“Dismember” Theme Music by Nathan

No MacReady. No prep time. Just Nada, a flamethrower, an unhealthy amount of paranoia, and a creature that can perfectly imitate anyone.Could Nada expose The Thing before it assimilates him? Would his famous sunglasses actually help? Or would the entire station be on fire approximately 15 minutes after he arrives? 😂We break down Nada’s strengths and weaknesses, the blood test, his potential six-minute fistfight with Childs, and whether his “kick ass first, ask questions never” strategy could actually SAVE HUMANITY.🔥 John Nada vs. The Thing — WHO SURVIVES?Key Moments-00:00 Intro- Could They Survive? 00:49 Setting the Scene 01:36 Establishing the Rules 02:39 Know Your Survivor: John Nada 03:04 Nada’s Advantages 07:57 Nada’s Disadvantages 10:31 Scenario #1: The Dog Kennel14:44 Scenario #2: The Blood Test 21:09 Scenario #3: The Final Night 28:29 The Final Verdict Support The Show!https://www.patreon.com/MouthsofMadness">PatreonJoin The Madness!https://linktr.ee/mouths.of.madness">LinkTree

This week on the Mouths of Madness, we're diving deep into one of the most talked-about psychological horror thrillers in recent years. We break down the shocking twist, Willow Fitzgerald's incredible performance, the nonlinear storytelling, the cinematography, hidden symbolism, and whether Strange Darling deserves to be considered a modern horror classic—or if it's being overhyped.Of course... we don't exactly make it to the review without things falling apart first.Before we can even start talking about the movie, we decide every horror podcast should have a safe word for when the conversation gets too intense. Unfortunately, Bearclaw reaches his breaking point almost immediately, safe words stop meaning anything, and the episode somehow turns into a ridiculous cat-and-mouse game as the rest of us push him further into madness.Nothing is what it seems... and neither is this episode.🔥 Key Moments00:00 Welcome to the Madness (Safe Words Gone Wrong)03:50 Strange Darling (2023) Review Begins10:20 Overall Thoughts 31:30 Breaking Down Strange Darling (Full Spoilers)58:40 The Electric Lady Twist & Cat-and-Mouse Chase01:10:20 Ending Explained: Who Was the Real Monster?01:17:00 The Wrap Up – Conspiracy Theories & Hot Takes01:22:40 Hall of Slain (Who Makes the Cut?)01:29:40 Hook, Line & Stinker01:41:35 Final Ratings (Killer / Survivor / Victim)01:46:35 Audience Takes & What We've Been Up To01:58:00 Party Time (The Madness Continues)Episode 64Featuring Kevin, Dan, Bearclaw & LoganProduced by NathanMouths of Madness is a long-form horror podcast dedicated to deep-dive discussions on classic, cult, and disturbing horror films—with an unhinged twist.Support The Show!PatreonJoin The Madness!LinkTree“We All Go Mad” Theme Music by Nathan
