Bodies of Horror: Episode 113 - Sick (2022)

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 07:05:00 GMT

Nichole returns to unpack the horrors of COVID-19 with the Kevin Williamson and Katelyn Crabb-penned film Sick (2022), directed by John Hyams.

It was a dark time for everyone, but particularly when we began to realize that the horrors of the pandemic were inside us.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 112 - Crazy Old Lady (2025)

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 07:05:00 GMT

Hagsploitation, or narratives that root themselves in “crazy old woman” tropes, can be a lot of fun. They can also inspire a lot of cringe, particularly as we deal with the realities of aging and disability.

Crazy Old Lady, an Argentinian film (available on Shudder), brings something new to the table. Unlike other entries in this subgenre, the film allows us to both question and understand the reality of our central character. Throw in themes of caregiving and how ageism – and the hagsploitation genre as a whole – is built on our fears of aging and illness, and this movie is about a lot more than initially meets the eye.

Such Sights To Show: Episode 34 - Hellraiser: Revelations (2011)

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 07:05:00 GMT

Bryan and Joe reunite to discuss the 15th anniversary of Victor Garcia's Hellraiser: Revelations (2011), Dimension's last ditch attempt to retain the rights to the franchise and the first film without Doug Bradley.

We maintain that this one has potential - from the gentle queer coding to the found footage angle to the practical FX - but Gary J. Tunnicliffe's script (and some truly terrible adult actors) never manage to overcome the low budget and speedy production. It's a miss.

White Ladies in Crisis: Poison Ivy (1992)

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 07:05:00 GMT

Gena, Jenn and Joe return to discuss a scandalous 1992 erotic thriller featuring an underage Drew Barrymore and a very mature Tom Skeritt.

In Katt Shea's Poison Ivy, Drew owns everything, which proves a bit problematic when she's not on screen.

Plus: the studio-mandated ending; the sequels; Sara Gilbert; and why this movie could never be made now.

In this episode of Bodies of Horror, we’re sinking our teeth into Luca Guadagnino’s film, Bones and All.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 110 - Dr. Giggles (1992) Revisited

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 08:05:00 GMT

Happy American Heart Month! What better time to do the pod's first revisit – all the way back to Episode 1 - than with the 1992 classic, Dr. Giggles? This film has had a piece of Nichole's heart since childhood when she would use it to help talk about disability with friends. Now, many decades later, the film still packs more nuance than even she remembered.

White Ladies in Crisis: If I Had Legs I Would Kick You (2025)

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 08:05:00 GMT

Gena, Jenn, and Joe are back from a slightly extended holiday break to talk patron saint of the pod Rose Byrne and her Oscar-nominated performance in writer/director Mary Bronstein's gruelling If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025).

This film is *not* playing around: it is incredibly rough, but it is also effective and even necessary.

Plus: Conan O'Brien's dramatic role, worrying about an affair with A$AP Rocky, and why Linda's husband and child are barely seen.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 109 - 'Mother of Flies' (2025)

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 08:05:00 GMT

A cure can be alluring – especially when your prognosis is only 6 months. In Mother of Flies, Lena is a young cancer patient who is surrounded by a religious family and community asking her to rely on prayers as her condition becomes more grave. This film also looks at how care becomes a dehumanizing task that can strip someone of autonomy, intentions be damned.

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 08:05:00 GMT

Thanks to listener Jen, Terry and Joe reunite to discuss The Art Life, a documentary about David Lynch and his art practice.

It's not revelatory, but it's a lovely complement to the discussions we've had about the chain-smoking filmmaker.

Plus: the most memorable anecdotes, a few critiques of the format, and a rallying cry for artists.

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 08:05:00 GMT

Welcome to the first episode of 2026! This is going to be a look at some of the horror films I found particularly unsettling, moving, and/or poignant – or just plain fun – in 2025. I couldn’t think of a better way to kick of the year with something easy and breezy to welcome us into a new year!

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 08:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe wrap up another series of Sexy & Surreal with a look at Caitlin Cronenberg's 2024 feature directorial debut, Humane.

The Canadian film has a great cast of familiar faces, but as a satire, it doesn't have enough bite. There's plenty of potential here, and we're curious to see what Caitlin does next, but this doesn't quite come together.

Plus: wrapping up thoughts on Caitlin, Brandon & Jennifer overall, and how the landscape has changed since their famous fathers started their filmmaking careers.

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe tackle our final Lynch title as we discuss Jennifer Lynch's last film, 2012's Chained.

From misguided accusations of torture porn to a bizarre 'twist' ending, this film is *interesting*. Still, the performances from Vincent D'Onofrio and Eamon Farren are outstanding, and the premise has plenty of promise.

Plus: nature vs nurture, the film as play, and Lynch's "booked and busy" TV career

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Gena, Jenn, and Joe wrap up another year of White Ladies in Crisis with the Doug Campbell Lifetime film, Stalked By My Doctor (2015).

Starring an extremely campy Eric Roberts as a pervy cardiologist, we address the seriousness of the issue before acknowledging this film is just plain fun.

Plus: survivor Sophie and her terrible/villainous boyfriend, useless parents, the most ridiculous dialogue, and the other titles in this franchise (?!?!)

Bodies of Horror: Episode 107 - Gremlins (1984)

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Bodies of Horror chats about holiday classic Gremlins (1984), but Nichole is keeping the discussion centered on disability, caregiving, and failed systems of care.

What begins as a chaotic holiday creature feature reveals deeper anxieties about dependency, rigid rules, moral panic, and who society deems “too much” to support. Gremlins asks whether the real horror lies not in difference, but in our refusal to build structures capable of sustaining it.

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe descend upon Li Tolqa to discuss Brandon Cronenberg's third film, Infinity Pool (2023), which features a divisive Mia Goth performance (we *love* it BTW). It also has numerous intriguing storylines that meander a bit by the end, but perhaps that's the whole point?

Plus: the downbeat ending; satire & politics; James as an emasculated dog; and anticipation for Cronenberg's new space-set film

Bodies of Horror: Episode 106 - The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 08:05:00 GMT

For this episode, Nichole is taking a look at 2016’s The Autopsy of Jane Doe. A father-and-son coroner pair perform an autopsy on an unidentified woman and, as her secrets get revealed, she begins to represent so many bodies of horror, including bodies dismissed, bodies treated as inhuman, and bodies controlled. As the two men try to “help” her, they do so while using the tools that caused her pain and destruction in the first place.

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 45 - Hisss (2010) and Despite The Gods (2012)

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 08:05:00 GMT

For the second last Jennifer Lynch text, Terry and Joe are trying something different. Considering Hisss (2010) had a famously troubled production, we're also including director Penny Vozniak's documentary Despite The Gods (2012), which chronicles the making of the film.

The doc is an essential part of the viewing experience in order to understand what happened in India and why Lynch doesn't claim Hisss as her own.

Plus: praising star Mallika Sherawat and the practical snake effects, debating the broad comedy, and why George States doesn't work as a villain for us.

White Ladies in Crisis: Hedda (2025)

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Get out of the lake and toss the flowers because Jenn, Gena, and Joe have re-entered the Oscar race with a look at Nia DaCosta's update of Ibsen's famous play, Hedda (2025).

Starring a dazzling Tessa Thompson and a commanding Nina Hoss, this 1950-set all-in-one-night film race & queer swaps characters to breathe new life into the material. Helped by a propulsive score, *gorgeous* costumes and prowling camerawork, this one really worked for us!

Bodies of Horror: Episode 105 - The Skeleton Key (2005)

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Bodies of Horror is ending National Family Caregivers Month with a focus on “paid” or “professional” caregivers. This may include hospice nurses and others that help provide skilled or medical care when family caregivers need the support.

2005’s The Skeleton Key takes on weighty themes of generational trauma, racism and faith in the wrapping of a gothic ghost/haunted house story. Does it handle these themes well? Welp…

Featuring special effects that Cronenberg and cinematographer Karim Hussain spent years developing, as well a revelatory work from Andrea Riseborough and Christopher Abbott, this film is a total trip.

Plus: ultra gory violence, a reticence to engage with queer readings, and *that* ending

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe are back to discuss Jennifer Lynch's sophomore feature, 2008's Surveillance. This twisty crime thriller features a great cast (many of whom are playing against type) and may be the closest thing to Lynch's uncompromised vision as a creator.

Plus: Terry's first time viewing reaction, Joe's fave character, grisly violence, and the unusual genesis of the project.

Plus: Joel Fry's dangerous character, debate if the film is a call to activism, interchangeable men, and creating a perfect watchlist along with Red Rooms, MFA and The Columnist

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 42 - Antiviral (2012)

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe cross over the other side of the podcast as we inject ourselves with Brandon Cronenberg's feature debut, Antiviral (2012).

It's hard not to compare the film to his famous father's work, what with the sterile setting, the corporate espionage, and the body horror elements. There's promise here, but the movie feels too indebted to Cronenberg senior.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 103 - The House of the Devil (2009)

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Ti West’s 2009 film House of the Devil is a pitch-perfect 70’s/80’s throwback that uses a familiar caregiver premise to pinpoint the perils of aging, caring for a loved one, and dependence. While we have looked at caregiving in a number of episodes, Nichole finds this film puts the societal ideas of caregiving right up front.

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 41 - Boxing Helena (1993)

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe return for a limited series on the children of David Lynch and David Cronenberg.

First up: Jennifer Lynch's feature film debut, Boxing Helena (1993) which drew vicious reviews and accusations of misogyny for its story of a clearly mentally ill man (Julian Sands) who abducts and mutilates the titular object of his affection (Sherilyn Fenn).

While we're not sold on the film as a whole (it's a bit sleepy), it seems as though critics purposefully misread the film, which is an obvious male fantasy.

Plus: Lynch's time in director jail, a HOT Bill Paxton, and debate about what we know of the real Helena

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Bryan and Joe reunite to discuss the 25th anniversary of Scott Derrickson's Hellraiser: Inferno (2000) and they've brought along a fan of the film: Ari Drew!

The film finds Craig Sheffer returning to a Clive Barker property after Nightbreed, and, in the first of the DTV sequels, focuses its narrative on a male cop protagonist.

Plus: tagging in Kari Wuhrer, practical FX and new Cenobites, David Lynch noir vibes, and a game changing way to accept Pinhead's new role as a punishing figure.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 102 - Shut In (2016)

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 07:05:00 GMT

How bad can a movie with Naomi Watts be? 2016’s Shut In may have you rethinking that, in addition to pondering why Oliver Platt is contractually obligated to play a psychologist in all of his films? We’ll also discuss how this movie takes on tried-and-true horror tropes at the expense of portraying mental health issues and physical disabilities with any real nuance or care.

White Ladies in Crisis: Shirley (2020)

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Gena and Jenn take Joe on a tour of the past as we explore the world of tortured author Shirley Jackson in the forgotten pandemic film, Shirley (2020).

The film is an intimate, meta tale featuring two great female leads in Elisabeth Moss and Odessa Young, plus a pair of shitty husbands, missing children, and an ambiguous lesbian attraction made literal. It's a solid film!

Bodies of Horror: Episode 101 - Let The Right One In (2008)

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 07:05:00 GMT

For Episode 101, we’re going Swedish with 2008’s Let the Right One In. Like many tales of vampirism that have been covered on this podcast, the analogy of vampirism as a disability is lit up in bold lights. But then there's also the aspects of caregiving, particularly the two main examples related to Eli seen in the film.

Such Sights To Show: Episode 32 - Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005) feat. Trace Thurman

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Bryan and Joe reunite once again. This time they're "celebrating" the 20th anniversary of Rick Bota's Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005) and they've brought along Horror Queers' Trace Thurman.

The film stars Henry Cavill in one of his first movie roles, but Rick Bota's movie drew ire from Hellraiser fans for its lack of Pinhead, as well as its mind-numbingly dumb twist ending.

The trio discuss the rushed production, the decent performances and set design (in Romania!), as well as why Cavill's character should have wound up covered in cum.

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Bryan and Joe reunite to "celebrate" the 20th anniversary of Rick Bota's Hellraiser: Deader (2005).

It's a narratively muddled film thanks to franchise elements being forced into the script, as well as its tiny budget (hello Romania!)

Still, Kari Wuhrer delivers a committed performance and Joe likes the train stuff.

Plus: that unfortunate byline title, terrible CGI (and an even worse human villain), and threats of another episode soon!

Bodies of Horror: Episode 93 - Late Phases (2014)

Tue, 27 May 2025 07:05:00 GMT

This episode is an examination of a film that has been on Nichole's "to cover" list for some time: 2014’s Late Phases.

The movie follows an older, blind veteran as he moves into a retirement community and goes on the defensive against an unknown creature (or creatures) taking out members of the community. Werewolf movies are a blind spot for Nichole, but she really appreciated what this film brings to the table.

Also: Vincent Cassel as director proxy, Kruger's triple roles, conspiracy theories and failed Netflix series

Bodies of Horror: Episode 92 - The Rule of Jenny Pen (2025) feat. Mike Snoonian

Tue, 13 May 2025 07:05:00 GMT

For this episode, we’re talking about the 2025 film, The Rule of Jenny Pen. Tagging in is The Pod and the Pendulum's Mike Snoonian to discuss everything from the stigmatization of NPS (neuropsychiatric symptoms) associated with Alzheimers to the fear of aging.

Plus: lots of praise to the lead performances of John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush, who bring a dose of subtlety to some very broad characters.

White Ladies in Crisis: Mommie Dearest (1981)

Fri, 09 May 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Gena, Jenn, and Joe return to celebrate Mother's Day with a look at director Frank Perry's Mommie Dearest (1981).

Starring a delightfully unhinged performance by Faye Dunaway, the adaptation of Christina Crawford's autobiography is dark (C/W: child abuse), but also...campy and hilarious?

Plus: a dissection of the film's most iconic scenes, the deleted bits, and whether this film would play well with "the youts" of today

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 39 - Twin Peaks: The Return Parts 16-18

Thu, 08 May 2025 13:00:00 GMT

It's the end of the road for the Lynch side of the podcast as Joe and Terry wrap up Twin Peaks: The Return with Parts 16-18.

It's the finale, so how does Terry feel about the 18 hour "movie"? What was Joe's experience rewatching the series?

Plus: praise for McLachlan, circling back on the Tulpas, episode 17 as the "conventional" ending and why we think that The Return just might be the perfect synthesis/culmination of Lynch's themes!

It's Joe Goldberg vs the Internet as he 1) gets dragged on social media (in delicious cameos from S01-04) and 2) flips the script by appealing to romantics and incels!

Plus: Kate in the UK, our fear that we've wrapped on Anna Camp, the ridiculous return of Nadia, and packing Baby YOU (aka Henry) in a suitcase.

We also get more time with Beck, find out what Clayton’s whole deal was, and analyze why Dom is the smartest person on the show and why characters like her are important.

Thu, 01 May 2025 13:30:00 GMT

It's the classic "Joe Takes A Holiday" episode as Joe and Sharai hit the halfway point of YOU's final season. It all feels slight...until the very end!

Plus: Anna Camp's Green Goblin moment, more idiotic Kate, pondering Brontë's accomplices and wondering what the series will do for the back half of the season.

Joe and Sharai are still invested in everything Anna Camp is doing as Maddie and Raegan and we're ready to see what happens with Joe and Bronte.

However, we're frustrated that Kate never became interesting and wondering why Clay keeps bringing a witness to his fights with Brontë.

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 38 - Crimes of the Future (2022)

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe are back on the Cronenberg side of the pod, which finds the director unofficially completing a trilogy after Videodrome and eXistenZ.

There's a lot of classic Cronenberg elements here, even if Terry doesn't feel it all comes together. Joe has grown to appreciate the film's interest in exploring what the future could be...albeit without offering concrete answers.

Plus: transhumanism and plastic people, Cronenberg's "Fuck You" vibes, and the film's "lack" of ending.

Nichole is taking a look at a recent favorite: 2021’s Malignant. This episode-slash-TedTalk will cover teratomas, parasitic twins, conjoined twins and fetus in fetu while contemplating why the “excised” twin in films in this specific horror subgenre are always the villains.

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Who's ready for a little cry? Terry and Joe return to Twin Peaks for an episode recorded the week David Lynch passed and...we're just a little emotional.

From Ed and Norma's well deserved reunion to despair from the realization that the Pod is nearly done, it's all just a little raw.

Plus: more frustration over Audrey, Terry's issue with the 18 hour model, setting things up for the finale, and why ketchup shouldn't come in small packages.

White Ladies in Crisis: Perfectly Good Moment (2024)

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Strap in for an unconventional erotic thriller as Jenn, Gena, and Joe discuss Perfectly Good Moment (2024), which is streaming for free on Tubi. C/W: emotional abuse.

We're very on board with the non-linear narrative from writers Julian Seltzer and Amanda Jane Stern (who also co-stars), as well as the way director Lauren Greenhall shoots the sex/intimacy.

Plus: debate about the Good For Her ending, the subtle storytelling in the set dressing, and fears that male audiences won't respond the same way as women.

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 07:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe return to discuss Maps to the Stars (2014), David Cronenberg's fucked up (half baked?) Hollywood satire.

In addition to incest and celebrating the death of a child, we're tackling bad behavior by a bevy of stars including Julianne Moore, John Cusack, and Mia Wasikowska.

Plus: Moore as the MVP, dark clinical comedy, a "ghostly" alternative draft, and debating if this is more of a Wagner film than a Cronenberg film?

Plus: Terry's lament that the show isn't investing in its new characters, a breakthrough regarding the show's treatment of dying small towns, Laura Dern's height, and an extended conversation about Lynch's trollish tendency to let scenes run for too long.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 88 - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992)

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:05:00 GMT

For this episode, Nichole dives into the messy thriller waters of 1992’s The Hand the Rock the Rocks the Cradle. Maybe not a film that wears the horror genre on its sleeve but there are twists, turns, and a couple fairly brutal kills.

This episodes focuses on Solomon, the family handyman with an intellectual disability played by Ernie Hudson. No matter how many years pass or how many rewatches, Nichole can never really decide where to land on the character of Solomon so let's pick apart some of the tropes and stereotypes that strip the character of nuance.

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe are back to discuss David Cronenberg's 2012 adaptation of Don DeLillo's novel Cosmopolis.

This is a challenging, occasionally unsatisfying film: the film wasn't particularly well received, though star Robert Pattinson is great.

Plus: a wild cast (including a last minute antagonist), finance and tech-speak, a souped up stretch limo, and "environmental storytelling"

Lots to discuss, including the arrival of Diane (Laura Dern), how Twin Peaks: The Return is a synthesis of all of Lynch's interests to date, and our reactions to various side characters and random subplots (Ashley Judd is being done dirty!)

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Fret about hot dogs because Jenn, Gena, and Joe are discussing Todd Haynes' impeccable character piece, May December (2023). C/W: grooming and sexual abuse.

Expect a lot of talk about how both Gracie (Julianne Moore) and Elizabeth (Natalie Portman) as monsters, feeling sorry for an infantilized Joe (Charles Melton), and how the film works as an indictment of made-for-TV true crime adaptations and method actors.

Plus: the film's disappointing award season performance, mirrors and monologues, and melodramatic musical stingers.

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Let’s get a little personal, shall we? For this episode Nichole chats about 1989’s Tetsuo: The Iron Man, an experimental cult sci-fi horror film that follows the horrific nightmare and reality of man becoming metal. She watched this film after a valve replacement surgery that began her own metal mission and, as a result, the film hit a profound way. Following more viewings and additional research on the film and the director’s vision, Nichole is finally ready to discuss this cult classic on the pod.

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 32 - A Dangerous Method (2011)

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Let's get psychologically sexy! Terry and Joe unpack David Cronenberg's historical drama featuring a trio of hot leads in Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen. Alas, there's something...lacking about this one.

Plus: Knightley's accent, boring stretches, a scene-stealing Vincent Cassel, and an intriguing finale.

Overall, however, we spend a lot of time questioning whether Cronenberg was a good fit for this material.

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Continuing January’s theme of “Faves from 2024,” Nichole covers arguably the most talked about horror film of the year: THE SUBSTANCE. After appearing on The Pod and the Pendulum Patreon episode on this film, Nichole is excited to explore the film with the wonderful Wes Harkness from Disabledland; this time from an explicitly disabled angle. Boy howdy, do we have things to say about ageism, ableism, and some very interesting/fresh takes on the film’s final act.

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 08:05:00 GMT

Terry and Joe return to the world of Twin Peaks: The Return, but the former is struggling with the balance of screen time given to each of the series' many, many characters.

Plus: killing (or nearly killing) kids, Joe's hatred of Wally Brando, a beautiful trip with Amanda Seyfried, why Duchovny's Denise feels like drag, and enjoying the musical acts at the Bang Bang Club.

White Ladies in Crisis: Babygirl (2024)

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 08:05:00 GMT

We've got what you want...but it's not an erotic thriller! To kick off 2024, Jenn, Gena and Joe check out Halina Reijn's Babygirl (2024) about a high powered female CEO who explodes her life for a sexual affair.

Up for discussion: sex, power, and nudity, refuting the term "brave", defining babygirls and softboys, Romy's backstory, as well as Nicole's work with female creatives.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 84 - Cuckoo (2024)

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 08:05:53 GMT

For the month of January, Nichole is chatting about a couple of her favorite horror films from 2024. First up? Tilman Singer’s incredibly strange and haunting Cuckoo, starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens.

This is definitely not a film that will hit with everyone, but the connection that forms between Gretchen, and her mute sister, Alma, is lovely. The film also touches on themes of bodily autonomy in some interesting and unexpected ways.

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 30 - Eastern Promises (2007)

Thu, 02 Jan 2025 13:13:16 GMT

Terry and Joe kick off 2025 with a look at David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises (2007), which reunites the director with collaborator Viggo Mortensen.

We're all in on the naked bath fight, but less invested in Naomi Watts' character and the baby drama.

Plus: wishing for more queer content, Viggo's subdued performance, and comparisons to A History of Violence.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 83 - The Advent Calendar (2021)

Tue, 24 Dec 2024 22:39:40 GMT

For the final episode of 2024, Nichole is going seasonal with 2021’s French horror film, The Advent Calendar - a film that mixes fairy tale or parable vibes with the tried and true enchanted/evil object (think a Monkey’s Paw type story, but make it Christmas!)

There are time-tested tropes around disability and disabled characters, but the film gives breathing space to encourage reflection on the inner conflict of internalized ableism and the battle with self-doubt that comes with being employed and disabled.

Want to reach out and say hi, share your thoughts on The Advent Calendar, or suggest a film to cover? Reach out via email to bodiesofhorror@gmail.com. She can also be found on BlueSky at bodiesofhorror.

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 08:05:53 GMT

Terry and Joe return to Twin Peaks with...well..Twin Peaks: The Return (2017).

We're tackling the Showtime limited series in three "Part" (ie: episode) chunks, with discussions on returning vs new (cameo!) characters, Kyle MacLachlan's stunning three role turn, and Terry's belief that Alan Wake 2 may have secretly been based on the show.

White Ladies in Crisis: Red Rooms (2023)

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 08:05:47 GMT

Gena, Jenn, and Joe close out another year of White Ladies in Crisis with a look at Quebecois thriller Red Rooms (2023).

The Pascal Plante thriller features an unknowable female protagonist (is she a sadist? A sociopath? A Lisbeth Salander-type vigilante?) and considers society's macabre fascination with true crime. It's cold, clinical and kinda fantastic!

Plus: praise for lead Juliette Gariépy, the long take opening, a stunning Bitcoin conversion, and why we don't need an "ending explained" explanation for the film.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 82 - Sick of Myself (2022)

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 13:00:12 GMT

Nichole is talking about the satirical comedy meets body horror film, Sick of Myself, which has a pretty wicked view on disability and victimhood in a social media world. Do disabled folks post our hospital selfies for clout? Are we actually sick, or do we make it up for to the likes and attention? Signe is a complicated character and Nichole is excited to explore how illness becomes her identity.

We're all in on this one, particularly the performances by Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello. Plus: rapey stair sex, a stacked supporting cast, gorgeous cinematography and debate if this is Cronenberg's contemporary masterpiece.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 81 - The Visit (2015)

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 08:05:27 GMT

For this episode, Nichole is going into M. Night Shyamalan territory with 2015’s The Visit. Seen as a return to form after a string of films not well-received, this film hits a lot of high notes but does something we have come to talk a bit about here on the pod: the intersection of ableism and ageism at the heart of the old people are creepy trope.

We're talking filming in Poland, the way women are treated, Laura Dern's stunning (not Oscar nominated) performance, and how the film brings Lynch's themes and priorities full circle back to Eraserhead.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 80 - The Front Room (2024)

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 08:05:49 GMT

November is National Family caregivers Month and, for better or worse, The Front Room (2024) has quite a bit to say about caregiving (the title is a reference to a bedroom in the house reserved for an older loved one when they move in for additional care). While the film delves into harmful tropes, it also puts some aspects of caregiving that we don't often talk about in the spotlight and there's merit in discussing them.

Spider (2002) has an intriguing premise and a flawed execution. The scenes in the past are more successful, but Ralph Fiennes' contemporary bits are dull and often unconvincing.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 78 - Speak No Evil (2022 & 2024)

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 07:05:05 GMT

For this episode, Nichole digs into both the 2022 and 2024 versions of Speak No Evil and specifically the character(s) of Abel/Ant - the young boy that we are told has congenital aglossia. How does lack of communication make him more vulnerable to abuse? Why doesn’t anyone ask more pointed questions about how to communicate with him? How do the ending of both films, especially where we leave the character, speak to how we value the lives of folks with disabilities?

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 07:05:27 GMT

Joe and Bryan return to unpack Clive Barker's first full-length novel, 1985's The Damnation Game. It's a big, ambitious project, filled with trademark Barker-isms, as well as many typical first novel issues. C/W: *everything*

Plus: multiple endings, shallow female characters, animal violence, and a challenging redemption arc for a cannibal pedophile.

Finally: an important announcement for episode 30!

Bodies of Horror: Episode 77 - Poor Things (2023)

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 07:05:26 GMT

In this episode, Nichole talks about the 2023 award-winning film, Poor Things. Much of the discussion around this film has focused on gender, gender roles, and sexual autonomy but there is a fair bit to say about how disability is very present in this film – particularly with the characters of Bella and Godwin.

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 07:05:48 GMT

Gena, Jenn and Joe return to discuss William Friedkin's 2006 adaptation of Tracy Letts' stageplay of the same name, Bug. C/W: self-harm

This is a film that will get under your skin, but it's the tragedy of the narrative, the stunning performances by Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon, and the disorienting editing that have us talking.

Plus: Shannon's villain face, romance and conspiracy theories, Joe's love of Lynn Collins' R.C., and that devastating ending.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 76 - In A Violent Nature (2024)

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 07:05:02 GMT

Nichole saw In A Violent in theaters but held off on recording an episode before watching it a second time because she had pretty visceral reaction to her first viewing.

In a Violent Nature finds us in familiar territory: campers teens taking on the zombie/reanimated adult form of a child – with a developmental disability – that accidentally died in the area. It doesn’t go for the campers and it didn’t go well for Nichole on either of her two watches.

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 07:05:55 GMT

Bryan and Joe discuss the Eisner-nominated comic anthology Tapping The Vein (1989) which adapts the most memorable stories from Books of Blood.

Since we've already discussed the narrative, we're focusing primarily on the art...and it's a mixed bag! Which ones do we like and which ones feel defanged?

Terry and Joe wrap up series three of Sexy & Surreal with David Cronenberg's final 90s film, eXistenZ (1999).

Gamer Terry gets into this first-time watch in its confusing back half, but finds plenty to love in the production design and Howard Shore's score.

Plus: comparisons to The Matrix, "commit to the bit" actors like Law and Dafoe, and discussions aplenty about the world as simulation.

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 07:05:22 GMT

Bryan and Joe check out Clive Barker's first screenplay, Underworld aka Transmutations (1985).

This George Pavlou (Rawhead Rex) film was plagued by producer interference, so much so that Barker has notoriously disowned it. For good reason! It's boring, has a soap opera aesthetic, and features an icky romance between Nicole (18 year old Nicola Cowper) and Roy Bain (38 year old Larry Lamb).

Plus: kernels of Nightbreed and Lord of Illusions, early Miranda Richardson, and a confounding ending

Thu, 27 Jun 2024 07:05:13 GMT

Or maybe it just seems odd. On closer inspection, though, there are clear Lynchian elements; they're just lurking under the surface!

Plus: an Oscar-nominated performance by Richard Farnsworth, hitting deer on the highway, and an out of control lawnmower action sequence.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 72 - Crimes of the Future (2022) feat. Gena Radcliffe

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 07:05:05 GMT

After a brief venture into crime thrillers, David Cronenberg made a return to the body horror subgenre with 2022’s Crimes of the Future. He brought along his current go-to actor, Viggo Mortensen, to tell the story of an aging performance artist whose partner…uses an eXistenZ style device to cut out the extra organs he grows regularly. As one does on a Tuesday evening.

I am joined by the incredibly funny and thoughtful Gena Radcliffe (from Kill by Kill Podcast and AOAS’s very own White Ladies in Crisis) to go deep into this film’s message about aging, illness and disease, disability, and evolution.

White Ladies in Crisis: The Girl On The Train (2016)

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:05:53 GMT

Our journey into the realm of hot, messy women embroiled in murder mysteries continues with Tate Taylor's adaptation of Paula Hawkins' The Girl On The Train.

Much like The Woman in the Window, the film stars an A-list actress (here it's Emily Blunt) doing great work in a lukewarm thriller.

Plus: female archetypes, too complicated plotting, our desire for a miniseries, and comparisons to male-centric "prestige" pictures like Oppenheimer

Terry and Joe finally hit one of former's most anticipated titles on the pod: David Lynch's surreal 1997 masterpiece, Lost Highway.

This mind fuck of a film noir has true crime connections in Robert Blake, dual roles for Patricia Arquette, but makes the mistake of subbing out Bill Pullman for Balthazar Getty? Oof!

Tue, 28 May 2024 07:05:43 GMT

Bryan and Joe return for the first of two episodes on Nightbreed comics. The first is a 400 page comic omnibus principally written by D.G. Chichester, including an adaptation of the Director's Cut of the film, the X-Men-esque "Blasphemers" arc, and (unbeknownst to us) a Nightbreed/Hellraiser cross-over!

Plus: a rotating roster of artists, our favorite Blasphemer characters, and the Archive's casual (1990s) misogyny

Bodies of Horror: Episode 71 - Night Swim (2024)

Tue, 21 May 2024 07:05:29 GMT

Disabled folks who have by default a non-existent to low quality of life? Check. Disabled characters being a burden to loved ones? Check. Magical cures? Check.

2024’s Night Swim is a layer cake of the disability tropes we know and love, so Nichole channels her simmering rage to give a refresher on some of them (since we circle them frequently here on the pod).

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 20 - M. Butterfly (1993)

Thu, 16 May 2024 07:05:49 GMT

Terry and Joe tackle another challenging Cronenberg title with the adaptation of David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly (1993).

Is this the straightest queer film ever? Although Jeremy Irons and John Lone are both doing great work, the film's reticence to engage with its gender, queer, and even political themes frustrates us to no end. By playing this realist and straight (in all senses of the word), the film is a bad marriage of director and material.

White Ladies in Crisis: The Woman In The Window (2021)

Tue, 14 May 2024 07:05:30 GMT

The White Ladies in Crisis crew get back to basics with the first of three episodes dedicated to hot, alcoholic, messy, voyeuristic women embroiled in murder mysteries.

Entry 1 is Joe Wright's long delayed adaptation of The Woman in the Window, which finds Amy Adams in unflattering pyjamas and the largest NY apartment we've ever seen, spying on Julianne Moore (or is it Jennifer Jason Leigh?) getting murdered.

Plus: grown-ass men playing boys, twists on twists on twists, a Single White Female sequel, and why Jenn cried twice.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 70 - Se7en (1995) w/ Hannah Oglivie

Tue, 07 May 2024 07:05:38 GMT

Disability representation in media doesn’t exist in a vacuum because disability is something that can impact anyone at anytime – meaning it is so important to touch on the intersectional points of representation.

Nichole is joined in a discussion of the landmark, but complicated, film Se7en by Hannah Oglivie, host of Fats on Film, a podcast that discusses the representation of plus-sized bodies across all genres of television and film.

We touch on so much in our discussion of Se7en:

> there are some arguably terrible individuals associated with this movie now but wanted to still have this conversation in the hopes that there is a benefit of sharing our thoughts

> how media depictions of disability, weight, gender and sexuality begin to inform our associations and identity from a young age

> how disability and weight are linked to the “religious morality” framework of the Seven Deadly Sins

How does Terry fare with the cacophony of new characters? How do we feel about the recast actors? And how freaking great is Sheryl Lee in a film that makes the actress go there?

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 07:05:14 GMT

Joe and Bryan return to the world of Books of Blood to discuss director John Harrison's 2009 UK adaptation, Book of Blood. C/W: brief sexual assault.

It's nearly the same narrative as the 2020 Hulu Books of Blood, only this one has grime and sexuality. It feels properly Clive Barker-y!

Plus: Lord of the Rings ghosts, not enough Doug Bradley, handjobs and BDSM, and debate about Mary's ending

Bodies of Horror: Episode 69 - Immaculate, The First Omen, and Bodily Autonomy

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 07:05:18 GMT

For this episode, Nichole is covering two films just released in theatres – Immaculate and The First Omen (2024). As a fan of religious horror, I was very excited to see both but was very surprised to find myself thinking about these films well after viewing and what they had to say about bodily autonomy (both in regards to reproductive health and beyond).

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 18 - Naked Lunch (1991)

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 07:05:01 GMT

Terry and Joe return to talk about Cronenberg's queerest film yet: the 1991 adaptation of Naked Lunch.

This one is tough, particularly if you're less familiar with the life and work of William S. Burroughs. Visually it's very surreal and fantastical (the typewriters!), but narratively it doesn't come together in a satisfying way.

Plus: the amazing FX, real life manslaughter, creature buttholes, and *that* Roy Scheider cameo

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 07:05:06 GMT

After wrapping up Clive Barker's Books of Blood, Bryan and Joe dig into Brannon Braga's Trick r'Treat-style anthology, Books of Blood (2020).

It's...fine. Too polished, strange story choices and Bryan is *not* a fan of how much the film hangs on the character of Jenna (Britt Robertson).

Plus: Barker's involvement, speculation about how this went from a TV series to a standalone film, and comparisons to Hulu other Barker adaptation, Hellraiser (2022).

Bodies of Horror: Episode 68 - Under The Skin (2013)

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 07:05:58 GMT

For this episode, Nichole covers 2013’s Under the Skin. Does having a disabled character (played by a disabled actor) as a pivotal part of another character’s turning point feel exploitative or authentic approach? How would it feel to shed the skin that has been a point of pain or even trauma? Would you get into a non-descript van with a stranger?

This film is *hot*, but it doesn't quite come together for us, despite the fine work of both Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage.

Plus: references to Elvis and The Wizard of Oz, wanting more of MVP Diane Ladd, Twin Peaks cross-overs, and debate about Lynch doing sex and romance.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 67 - May (2002)

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 07:05:46 GMT

For this episode, we’re covering 2002’s May.

Is May another character in the Creepy Loner Girl tradition, or is there more to explore? How can experiences of bullying and mistreatment, often as a result of being different and sometimes connected to disability, make it hard for us to form friendships? Lots to unpack with this “new cult classic.”

White Ladies in Crisis: Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 14:25:56 GMT

Change your name and call your sister because Gena, Jenn and Joe are discussing Sean Durkin's feature directorial debut, Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011). C/W: rape.

We're talking real life cult comparisons, the "before they were famous" cast, the transitions in time, and how the film is surprisingly less sensational and more reserved than we would have expected.

But oof, is this heavy!

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 08:05:54 GMT

Terry and Joe reach the reveal of "Who Killed Laura Palmer?" with Twin Peaks S02E07, "Lonely Souls."

This Lynch-directed episode has plenty of musicality and comedy, as well as the most harrowing scene Joe has ever seen on network television.

Plus: the show's "vibeyness", the uncomfortable Nadine, Leo and Catherine storylines, and Terry's natural interest in the supernatural elements

Nichole is joined by Specter Cinema Club co-host and a Pod and Pendulum co-host, DeVaughn Taylor, to talk about a film that’s just so slightly out of the wheelhouse of what we have covered here: 2019’s Swallow. PICA, OCD, bodily autonomy…this film has us covering complex and challenging topics.

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 08:05:33 GMT

Terry and Joe are back on the Lynch/Twin Peaks beat as they catch-up on the first two episodes of season two.

There's *a lot* of exposition, characters and awkwardly handled tonal changes in these first two episodes that keeps Terry at a distance as a first time viewer.

Plus: the show's treatment of women, James Hurley: Singer, Lynch's superior direction, and Terry's continued love of the background at the Great Northern.

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 08:05:53 GMT

Joe and Sharai have made it to Black Summer's finish line, but even by the end of "Stadium" we're unsure if the journey was worth it.

We're delirious but thrilled to be wrapping up this binge with one final discussion about how we don’t know about any of these characters and wonder where this calvary came from.

Oh yeah, and we're reminded that Rose had a daughter!

Our big problems: a boring, obvious screenplay and Harry Styles (great musician; bad actor). Also: Florence Pugh has *much* better chemistry with Chris Pine.

Plus: Barbenheimer, simulations, and extremely pretty dresses

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:05:24 GMT

Terry and Joe return to the Cronenberg side of the pod to discuss the Canadian director's second film of 1983, The Dead Zone.

Up for discussion: why this is a better Stephen King film than a Cronenberg film, iconic Canadian royalty in supporting roles, why the narrative works better as a miniseries (or, yes, a TV show - which Joe has seen parts of).

Plus: Walken's wild hair, the serial killer narrative, why we wish Cronenberg had written this, the bland female role, and the romanticism (ADR?) of the ending.

Such Sights To Show: Episode 16 - Cabal / Nightbreed Theatrical Cut

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 08:05:29 GMT

Bryan and Joe return for the first of many episodes on Clive Barker's Midian.

First up: Barker's 1988 novella Cabal, which Bryan appreciates a little more than Joe, who finds the story too repetitive. Thankfully there's some really smutty parts, and a great deal of duality in most of the characters.

Then we move on to Nightbreed: the 1990 studio-compromised monster movie that was mis-marketed and features a confused Craig Scheffer and an over-the-top David Cronenberg as Decker.

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 07:05:52 GMT

Terry and Joe return for a new King adaptation (well...kinda) with director Lindsey Beer's Pet Sematary prequel, Bloodlines (2023).

This is simultaneously overstuffed and completely hollow, so while there's a few perks (hot cast! Indigenous representation!), there's plenty of cons (poor character development! Bad editing! An over reliance on sound design for jump scares!).

It's frustrating because there's a few good kernels, like the class and race critique, but overall this is more than a little forgettable.

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 07:05:44 GMT

Bryan and Joe return to discuss Volume 4 of Clive Barker's short story anthology series, Books of Blood.

Despite stories featuring sentient hands, a compound built for Satan, and a Hellraiser-like knot, it's the eventful evening at a motel and the (C/W) sexual assault-heavy finale where we spend the majority of our time.

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 07:05:56 GMT

It's the end of AppleTV's Physical and Gena, Jenn, and Joe are feeling emotional.

After three years and thirty episodes, does the end satisfy? What becomes of Sheila, Danny, Greta, John Breem? Do we see Tyler and Bunny again? Looking back on the series, we reflect on the hits and some of the narratives misses.

Finally, we wrap up with our character MVPs and what we'll miss most.

White Ladies in Crisis: Physical S03E09

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 07:05:17 GMT

The penultimate episode of Physical completely changes the show's format and, in the process, delivers a series best.

Documenting one night with Sheila, Danny and Maya, this intimate, play-like episode goes deep on characterization as truths are said, the "voice" returns in a new way, and Rory Scovel delivers a gut-wrenching, pitch perfect performance.

Such Sights To Show: Episode 14 - The Thief of Always

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 07:05:45 GMT

Bryan and Joe explore new realms of Clive Barker's work with his Middle Grade/Young Adult book, The Thief of Always (1992).

The fable about a dissatisfied boy who is trapped in a four season house where not everything is as it seems is surprisingly melancholy, filled with lessons and pitched perfectly at its target audience, while still being a good tale for adults. We like this one!

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 07:05:44 GMT

We've hit the halfway point of the final season of Physical and everything is topsy turvy: suddenly we're ok with Sheila and Danny getting back together and we're frustrated with Greta?

The fall-out from the runway continues in what amounts to the back half of a two parter as Sheila gives John Breem advice, Danny's controlling sister arrives, Greta ditches Sheila to prove her business sense to Ernie, and Sheila tries a set menu meal with Carlos.

Sheila hits the fitness expo for an episode that finds Gena, Jenn and Joe seeing red. Sabotage, stripping, backsliding, and late night phone calls ensue.

Nightmares & Dreamscapes: King on Screen (2023)

Fri, 11 Aug 2023 07:05:07 GMT

After a long hiatus, Nightmares & Dreamscapes returns so that Terry and Joe can discuss Daphné Baiwir's King on Screen, which focuses on Stephen King adaptations.

Alas there are some pretty significant issues with the doc: 1) *it's all white men* (where are Mary Lambert and Kimberly Pierce?!) 2) Most of the comments are complimentary and focused on King, not necessarily the adaptation process 3) The only time a "bad" adaptation is addressed is Kubrick's The Shining, so the dead director can't even defend himself.

This is messy and self-indulgent, folks!

Bodies of Horror: Episode 52 - Hitchcock Moms feat. Rebecca McCallum

Tue, 08 Aug 2023 07:05:41 GMT

For this episode, Bodies of Horror revisits two topics that we’ve touched on here before: Hitchcock (Rear Window) and complex roles of mothers.

Nichole is joined by the incredible Rebecca McCallum, Assistant Editor of Ghouls Magazine, Senior Contributor at the Moving Pictures Film Club, and all around expert and guide of all things Hitch.

We discuss, in detail, the worlds of 1960’s Psycho and 1963’s The Birds and the mothers that inhabit them, how the depiction of these figures connect to how we’ve talked about mothers in the previous Hitch episode, and how they speak to a dynamic familiar to many of us with disabilities.

Fri, 21 Jul 2023 07:05:01 GMT

Secure your branded sponsorship for the perfect social media post because Gena, Jenn and Joe are headed to Thailand with Kurtis David Harder's Influencer (2022).

We're fascinated by star Cassandra Naud's performance and how the film uses her natural birthmark in a tale about performative online personalities where no one is who they pretend to be.

Plus: Ryan as pimp, why not all influencers are the same, the misleading YA marketing and comparisons to Sissy and Superhost

Such Sights To Show: Episode 13 - The Last Illusion / Lord of Illusions

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 07:05:21 GMT

Bryan and Joe return to Clive Barker territory to discuss a magical (or illusory?) double bill.

First up is 'The Last Illusion', the 1985 short from Books of Blood Vol. 6 that introduces private investigator Harry D'Amour. Bryan likes the creatures, particularly Valentin, though Joe finds the plot meandering.

Next up is Barker's 1995 film adaptation Lord of Illusions, which is both ambitious and feels like Barker succumbing to Hollywood demands. Joe is nostalgic for its messy queerness and prefers the Director's Cut, while Bryan finds it busy and notes that characters lack agency.

Obviously the exploding head is iconic, but the rest of the film is nearly as messy. An on-the-fly script and paper thing characters hint at more intriguing ideas than what is actually seen on screen.

Plus: mall culture, homoerotic tension, a terrible lead performance, and the Scanners franchise.

From the iconic opening sequence to Kyle MacLachlan's awe-shucks teen boy to Isabella Rossellini's Dorothy and Dennis Hopper's Frank Booth (iconic), Lynch is taking apart suburbia with glee.

Is Tabitha still in town? Is the sleeping threat really done? How did we get through a wedding without someone dying? And why couldn't Randall or Jim have been killed?!

Such Sights To Show: Episode 12 - Hellbound Hearts (2009)

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 07:05:11 GMT

Bryan and Joe check out Hellbound Hearts, an anthology of 23 Hellraiser stories edited by Paul Kane and Marie O'Regan. Some are good, some...are not!

We're talking about our faves (a European Cenobite coming of age! A slut shamed nun! A puzzle solving vigilante!), as well as the mixed ones that intrigued (Prey comparisons? Stockholm Syndrome? Gay installation art?).

It's a mixed bag, but we had a lot of fun with this collection.

It's the penultimate episode of FROM S02 and Sharai and Joe are breaking down the show's new "no sleep" mystery.

Are dreams/nightmares becoming reality? Have the nursery rhyme's "three" already been taken? Is Jim the dumbest character on the series? Is our sweet boy Kenny completely jaded and hard?

Plus: predictions for the finale (basically no resolution, prompting screams and tears)

Sexy & Surreal: Episode 5 - Dune (1984)

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 07:05:56 GMT

Terry and Joe are trying to figure out the difference between sci-fi and fantasy as they return to the Lynch side of the podcast to discuss his big budget studio effort, Dune (1984).

Despite issues with the voice-over narration, the compacted back half and too many characters, we don't actually mind this one. The costumes are wild, the FX is good, and we want more of whatever is going on with Baby Alicia Witt.

Plus: the problematic queer coding of Harkonnen, Jodorowsky's Dune, and a silver lining to the film's box office failure.

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 07:05:59 GMT

On a very special episode of The Girls on the Boys, Jenn and Rachel return to tackle a Supe Showdown, a Butcher bum flashback, and burgeoning love in a bowling alley. The plot thickens as Homelander finds the worst possible solution to a plane hijacking, Butcher gives a strange pep talk, and The Deep tries in vain to save a flirtatious dolphin.

Tue, 30 May 2023 07:05:52 GMT

For this episode, Nichole goes back to M. Night Shyamalan's filmography to talk about 2004’s The Village. Does Ivy’s disability matter beyond selling one of the film’s twists?

Also: the character of Noah is absolutely ridiculous and what was Adrien Brody thinking?

White Ladies in Crisis: Fatal Attraction Episode 8

Mon, 29 May 2023 07:05:02 GMT

Jenn, Joe, and Gena bid goodbye (and good riddance!) to Fatal Attraction as the series ends with an out of nowhere killer reveal and an absolutely confounding message.

Plus: infectious mental illness, a final round of rants and vents, how the show could have ended, the spin-off we *actually* want to see, and - after eight hours of garbage - justice for all of these actors (and us!)

White Ladies in Crisis: Fatal Attraction Episode 7

Sun, 28 May 2023 22:48:37 GMT

Jenn, Gena, and Joe have reached the penultimate episode of Fatal Attraction...and we've never had less confidence in the show.

Despite the solid cliffhanger involving Beth and Alex and the extended flashbacks to Alex's childhood, it's all too little, too late.

Plus: uncomfortable racial politics at the trial, more (?!) new characters as Dan works his petition, and just what is going on with Ellen and Stella?!

Sharai and Joe take a few moments to marvel at Harold Perrineau, talk about this dire rations situation, and mourn our favorite monster’s demise. Then discuss how the Colony House stabbing is the 100th reason we would never try Colony House.

Plus, we gush about the stressful van ride that stands out in the most stressful episode of a very stressful show.

Clearly no longer courting controversy, Cronenberg explores sex parasites in an urban environment and casts American porn star Marilyn Chambers as his lead.

Plus: horror vignettes, gross predatory men and phallic women, pity for Mindy and Rose's respective ends, and yes - this is Christmas Horror!

Sharai and Joe are back to discuss this very low-key but engaging episode. We finally see the people Sarah hurt confront her, talk about Mari(elle)’s hobbies, and wonder if people should be counting talismans instead of food.

Tue, 16 May 2023 07:05:42 GMT

Infertility and disability intersect in a number of ways – folks with disabilities may struggle with conceiving as a result of their condition and access to various interventions may be a challenge.

Thu, 27 Apr 2023 07:05:48 GMT

Gena, Jenn and Joe return to talk about the first feature adaptation of Ira Levin's iconic feminist text, The Stepford Wives (1975). Despite being written and directed by men, this tale of conformity and misogyny in the suburbs remains as timely and relevant as ever (discomfortingly so).

We're discussing the 70s fashion, why Walter is such a putz, Disneyland robotics, and what a hypothetical (good) contemporary remake of this tale would include

While Tabitha and Julie are annoying, we're intrigued by the newbies from the bus, including Kristi's girlfriend and mysterious Elgin.

As promised, Bryan and Joe dedicate a standalone episode to Clive Barker's Rawhead Rex (from Books of Blood Vol.3), as well as its much maligned 1986 film adaptation by George Pavlou.

Real talk: we don't hate the movie! It's not a good adaptation, but as a stock creature feature, it's fine.

Terry and Joe kick off a bi-weekly exploration of the filmographies of David Lynch and David Cronenberg because Terry has seen remarkably few of their respective features.

First up: Lynch's Eraserhead, which took 5 years, was funded by Sissy Spacek and is a wild first film. We're talking the all-encompassing industrial score, surreal space sequences, a sperm child, practical FX, and Lynch's (maybe?) real life daddy issues reflected on screen.

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 07:05:15 GMT

After a dive into some older fare, Nichole changes things up and talk about a recent film – 2022’s Pearl. This episode tackles a bit about the 1918 flu pandemic, caring for a loved one with a disability or illness during a pandemic, and the multitude of mental health issues this film touches on.

This was an episode where it seemed fitting to chat about mental health and had to call in support from one of my favorite people: Mike Snoonian, the loveliest person and therapist behind the boards at The Pod and The Pendulum and PsychoAnalysis: A Horror Therapy podcasts. Any time I get to chat with Mike is time I treasure and he brought the brilliance and humor to this conversation.

Such Sights To Show: Episode 9 - Books of Blood Vol. 3

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 07:03:17 GMT

Bryan and Joe are back to discuss Volume 3 of Clive Barker's short story collection, Books of Blood.

We're faced with more dated elements (race/fatphobia), though we're wondering if part of this is simply too much Barker in a short period of time?

Still, we've got great body horror/kills, a Stephen King-esque story, and the anticipation of Rawhead Rex on the horizon.

Good For Her Horror: Bit (2019) by Out To Get You Pod

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 07:05:57 GMT

In this pre-launch episode for Out To Get You Podcast, Margot Mutter and fantasy literature academic Becca/Bex Gault sink their teeth into the themes of power and cycles of abuse of Bit (2019).

C/W: This episode contains discussions of rape and sexual violence, drug abuse, kidnapping, suicide, homophobia and transphobia, and other themes that may be sensitive for listeners.

Caveat: This episode was recorded on January 10th, 2023, which seems like a world away for the trans people in your lives. Since that day, 44 more trans people have been murdered simply for the crime of existing. This year is already proving heartbreaking and fatal for our community. While this podcast is for entertainment, it is impossible to completely decouple ourselves from the campaigns of violence we face, in the streets we live and in the legislatures which paint us as unfit and as threats to society, as well as the resulting anguish and rage they continue to produce. We ask that you consider your emotional and mental health before engaging with this episode.

Hey YOU: S04E10 'The Death of Jonathan Moore' (2023)

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 07:05:31 GMT

It's the end of the line for YOU S04 and Joe and Sharai are divided. Despite giving us everything we wanted and hypothesized about, there's something unsatisfying about the finale. From Kate and Nadia being dumb-dumbs to how easy it is to kill Tom to the show's refusal to end, this just doesn't hit the mark.

Plus: thoughts on the inevitable S05 and Penn Badgley going clean shaven again!

Hey YOU: S04E09 'She's Not There' (2023)

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 07:05:47 GMT

It’s the penultimate episode of YOU’s fourth season, and Joe and Sharai have questions! Firstly, who is not haunting Joe at this point? Secondly, doesn’t this feel like it’s going to be the final season? Thirdly, what happened to the Nadia we used to know?

Plus: Penn Badgley takes great direction from himself, questioning how great sex with Joe can be if you avoid doing it, and talking expectations for the finale.

Hey YOU: S04E08 'Where Are You Going? Where Have You Been?' (2023)

Sat, 11 Mar 2023 08:05:08 GMT

Well, it turns out that Joe Goldberg is “full fat, extra sugar, deep-fried fucking insane” and now we're just frustrated. In what feels like a poorly constructed twist, Joe and Sharai question the logic of making Joe mentally ill, the logistics of disappearing for days on end and constructing the box in London, as the benefits of using half the episode's runtime on Marienne's fairytale.

Plus: this has got to be the final season, right? Because a "happy ending" for Joe is off the table!

Hey YOU: S04E07 'Good Man, Cruel World' (2023)

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 08:05:33 GMT

A boring episode suddenly turns into something wild as the glass cage makes a surprise reappearance. Joe's not convinced this isn't still a frame job by Rhys, who gets his balls played with a bit before dying. Sharai, however, shatters Joe's fragile little mind with the suggestion that Joe has been Sixth Sense-ing Rhys the whole season!

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 08:05:00 GMT

Sharai and Joe return to tackle the premiere of Netflix's YOU S04 Part 2...and we're a bit underwhelmed.

This is firmly a placeholder (filler?) episode that reintroduces the characters, but there's too much Adam/Lady Phoebe drama and barely any Kate!

Plus: Rhys in the dark with beers, Nadia's in danger, the photographer's identity is revealed, and Where.Is.Daddy?!

White Ladies in Crisis: Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022)

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 08:05:43 GMT

Prepare to be incredibly uncomfortable because Gena, Joe, and Jenn are back to discuss Jamie Dack's extremely upsetting film, Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022). CW: grooming, sexual assault.

This is rough, in part because lead actress Lily McInery is so young looking, and the child grooming is so easy to understand.

Plus: fraught mother/daughter relationships, dating older men, Jonathan Tucker appreciation, and why a static long shot sex scene is so effective.

Love Hurts: The Crush (1993)

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 08:05:16 GMT

For a second dip into Love Hurts, the White Ladies in Crisis crew (Jenn, Gena and Joe) revisit Lolita-inspired 90s knock-off, The Crush (1994).

Starring an unhinged Alicia Silverstone as a teenage temptress and Cary Elwes at peak hotness, this film features no shortage of perplexing questions, including why an adult man would let not one, but TWO teen girls hang out in his apartment, why the screenwriter didn't change Adrian's name, and what kind of family has a carousel in their attic. Fun times!

Such Sights To Show: Episode 8 - Books of Blood Vol. 2

Thu, 02 Mar 2023 08:05:17 GMT

Bryan and Joe are back to discuss Volume 2 of Clive Barker's short story collection, Books of Blood.

This time we're a bit more conflicted about some of the dated elements, including the role of race in Hell's Event to the misogyny of Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament to the sexual assault of The Skins of our Fathers.

Still, Barker's prose is great, from the body horror of Jacqueline Ess to the playfulness of Barker-fying Edgar Allan Poe in New Murders in the Rue Morgue.

Plus: which are our fave stories (we don't agree this time!)

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 08:05:56 GMT

We're kicking off Love Hurts, a new limited series about movies we love and/or movies that explore the intersection of love and horror.

First up: Stephen Schiatta's ode to James Cameron's Aliens (1986). Stephen talks about his love of the film's found family, collecting Hudson toys for Christmas, and several key sequences that prove why the film is the perfect expanded sequel.

Joe and Love hit the suburbs as Sharai and Joe unpack the slightly messy third season of Netflix's YOU.

After a promising four episode start, the wheels fall off the back half of the season, including YOU's reluctance to explore Joe's queer side and the dicey representation of polyamory.

Plus: the shift from Love to Marienne, baby Henry and why won't this show just kill people?!

White Ladies in Crisis: Fear (1996)

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 08:05:39 GMT

Get ready for a rollercoaster because we're talking "beware of the bad boyfriend" (and maybe the bad dad?) Erotic Thriller, Fear (1996).

This is melodrama, but there's a lot of interesting things going on, like the Betty vs Veronica virginity issues between Nicole and Margo, Steve's desire to fuck teen girls, different approaches to parenting, and why Toby is the film's secret weapon. Also: Jenn has a strange connection to Reese Witherspoon?!

Bodies of Horror: Episode 41 - House of Wax (1953)

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 08:05:17 GMT

The 1953 film House of Wax doesn’t come up much when we talk about the disabled villain trope…but should it? In this episode, Nichole explore that question and talk briefly about how the 2005 remake tries to subvert the trope a but (to messy results).

Such Sights To Show: Episode 7 - Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell (2016)

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 08:05:34 GMT

Bryan and Joe venture back in time for Paul Kane's Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell, a Sherlock Holmes and Hellraiser cross-over novel that's surprisingly fun!

What impresses us the most isn't how knowledgeable Kane is, but how integrated his homages to the franchise are in the central plot. This is a proper story that utilizes both mythologies in a smart, satisfying way!

Plus: surprises from Hell on Earth and Bloodline, why Sherlock vs the Order of the Gash makes sense, new Cenobites, IP concerns, and why we wish the Epilogue wasn't included.

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 08:05:43 GMT

Dial up your modem and log onto Pizza.Net because Jenn, Gena and Joe are talking about the 1995 Sandra Bullock vehicle, The Net!

This technophobia thriller is *very* of the time, but also oddly prescient about how much of ourselves we reveal online. Plus: Jenn falls for another bad guy, Dennis Miller in the movies, avoiding boats and carnivals and the unusual AIDS elements in the film.

Moral of the film? Stay at home (but maybe go outside every once in a while)

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 08:05:35 GMT

In this episode, Nichole is tackling a heavy hitter: 1954’s Rear Window, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, along with conversation about 1998 made-for-TV remake starring Christopher Reeves.

This was a big one and Nichole couldn’t do it alone, so she brought in her friend Kevin - a fairly intense Hitchcock film fan and all-around phenomenal human being.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 38 - Misery (1990)

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 08:05:26 GMT

Nichole is diving back into Stephen King this episode and talking about Rob Reiner’s 1990 Misery – specifically the character of Paul Sheldon and his experiences in relying on a stranger to live and the aftermath of torture. She don’t go too heavy into the background of King’s books but below are a few phenomenal resources to itch that particular scratch.

Additional reading:

Additional Listening:

They have two episodes dedicated to Misery – one for King’s 1987 book and for Reiner’s film – from January 2019 that would be excellent places to start!

Up for discussion: glass house porn, dress-up dates, Ben's villain behavior, comparisons to The Invisible Man and Gone Girl, unintentional camp hilarity, and one hell of a cathartic climax.

Such Sights To Show - A Hellraiser Podcast: Episode 4 - The Toll

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 08:05:35 GMT

Back by listener demand, Such Sights to Show returns for Part 4 as Bryan and Joe check out Mark Allan Miller's 2018 Hellraiser novella The Toll.

While based on a story by Clive Barker, this concurrent narrative to The Scarlet Gospels is frustrating: the prose isn't on par with Barker, new characters are 1-dimensional and the plot barely gets going before it's over. There are intriguing elements, but this needed to be a short story or a full length book.

White Ladies in Crisis: Double Jeopardy (1999)

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 07:05:59 GMT

Gena, Jenn and Joe are back to talk about a peak 90s comfort watch: Double Jeopardy (1999). Joe loves this The Fugitive remake/sequel, which finds Judd's Libby tracking down her shitty husband who framed her for murder.

Up for discussion: sleazy Bruce Greenwood (again!), how white women negotiate the system, the film's oh-so-90s treatment of WOC and sex work, and whether Tommy Lee Jones would be gender-flipped in a contemporary remake.

Good For Her Horror: Revenge (2018)

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 07:05:57 GMT

Jordan Gustafson and Brooke Solomon of The Queer Quadrant take over Good For Her Horror to discuss Coralie Fargeat's Revenge, a perfectly sequenced rape/revenge film that features our protagonist Jen rising like a phoenix from the ashes (thank goodness for that cool beer logo). This underseen film is surprisingly commercial for an indie, but it totally rocks.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 26 - eXistenZ (1999)

Tue, 24 May 2022 07:05:00 GMT

Changing things up a bit, Nichole takes a look at a film that arguably does not include a disabled character or a super direct connection to disability – David Cronenberg’s 1999 film, eXistenZ.

Her love for Cronenberg is well documented around these parts and he has films that connect to disability more clearly, but eXistenZ still has relevant ideas and themes to discuss.

White Ladies in Crisis: S02E08 - Species (1995)

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 07:05:00 GMT

April is Joe's pick so we're stepping outside of conventional Erotic Thriller territory into some sci-fi sex-shenanigans with Spieces, which has an extremely 1995 take on feminism and motherhood.

Up for discussion: speculating about Alfred Molina's purpose, exploring Marg Helgenberger's shifting role in the film, relating to Natasha Henstridge's Sil (via baby Michelle Williams) and why you shouldn't have sex in hot tubs!

It's time for a double feature of Jordan Peele’s films Get Out (2017) and Us (2019). Both films not only touch on disability through direct representation via characters, but give us plenty to dissect in terms of broader social-political issues and their impact on (and relation to) the disability community.

White Ladies in Crisis: S02E07 - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992)

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 08:05:00 GMT

March is Jenn's pick so we're getting into familial/revenge territory with this month's Erotic Thriller, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992) C/W: sexual assault.

It turns out that the film is far more than a killer nanny and an iconic set piece in a greenhouse. It also opens with an uncomfortable sexual assault!

Up for discussion: Ernie Hudson's mentally disabled character, Claire (Annabella Sciorra)'s underlying racism, normalizing breast feeding, Julianne Moore's "modern" woman and debates about whether the film is actually an erotic thriller.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 21 - Rural Horror

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 08:05:00 GMT

Rural horror often brings up images of “cannibalistic mutants” hiding out in the woods, mountains, or desert – ready to kill off the outsiders passing through for their next meal. But it is a subgenre that is more expansive than that.

In this episode, I will walk through some of my complicated feelings with the subgenre and how it manages to often feature and completely ignore disability connected to its characters.

Shoutout to Horror Queers and their fantastic Patreon series on the subject (March 2021) for being my inspiration for this episodes. If you have the means and are looking for wonder content from two amazing people, please support them.

The inclusion of two female protagonists (Allison Williams and Logan Browning) allows us to elaborate on the pod's name, as well as tackle class and race.

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 08:05:00 GMT

If there is one thing we have all learned over the last two years of global pandemic, it’s that we have to take our wins where we can get them! It is with that spirit that we jump into 2022 with a nice long episode on a movie that means the world to us.

This month, Sophie and Hannah are joined by first-time guest and absolute gem of a human, Thor, to talk about everything we love about Ghostbusters (2016), the joy and comfort that it provides, and the heartbreaking way it was received by a certain segment of “fans.”

Sophie did lots of homework for this episode so we have lots of links for you!

Bodies of Horror: Episode 18 - My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To (2021)

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 08:05:00 GMT

Nichole Goble couldn’t think of a better way to kick off 2022 than to talk about her favorite film from last year: My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To.

This film takes the subtext of vampirism as an illness and makes it text. Let’s just say the phrase ”blood is thicker than water” will have a new meaning after watching this one.

White Ladies in Crisis: S02E05 - In The Cut (2003)

Wed, 12 Jan 2022 08:05:00 GMT

January is Joe's pick so he, Gena and Jenn are checking out the sexiest film they've covered yet: Jane Campion's In The Cut. Starring Meg Ryan and a moustache'd Mark Ruffalo, this film is far more interested in the erotic than the thriller...and is maybe better for it?

Up for discussion: the smouldering sex scenes, a disavowal of traditional gender roles, Gena's appreciation of a realistic step-sibling relationship, desire for Mark Ruffalo(s adult-oriented career) and disagreement about the cohesiveness of the film's visual aesthetic.

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 08:05:00 GMT

Dec is Jenn's pick so she, Gena and Joe revisit a heartfelt, cozy "erotic thriller": Jerry Zucker's 1990 smash Ghost. Starring beloved actor Patrick Swayze, gorgeous tear factory Demi Moore, Oscar-worthy Whoopi Goldberg and "show us your abs" Tony Goldwyn, Ghost is the kind of film that shouldn't work, but totally holds up!

Up for discussion: the unusual depiction of Ghosts and death, Jenn's obsession with Dirty Dancing, our belief that Oda Mae Brown deserves financial compensation and thoughts on that iconic love scene.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 15 - Monkey Shines (1988)

Tue, 07 Dec 2021 08:05:00 GMT

Things are about to get bananas as host Nichole Goble digs into George A. Romero’s Monkey Shines. I remember being horrified by the box art as a kid because a pissed off capuchin monkey was not something I wanted to tango with so I was excited to come back to this one.

I love Romero and, while this may not be the best entry in his filmography, this is a pretty captivating watch that hit on some aspects disability that other films have seemed to steer clear from.

White Ladies in Crisis: S02E03 - Black Widow (1987)

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 08:05:00 GMT

November is Gena's pick so she, Jenn and Joe are travelling back to 1987 for the female cat-and-mouse thriller Black Widow starring Debra Winger and Theresa Russell.

The feminist AF film offers one hell of a meaty role for Russell, who completely steals the show. Up for discussion: the film's unconventional narrative structure, its lack of interest in male characters, showcasing the Hawaiian setting, comparisons to The Silence of the Lambs, and the film's tentative queerness.

Also: this film is sexy! Consider this our plea for more sex in contemporary films!

We talk about the oddity of the film's cast (including two now groan-worthy public figures), the disappointing lack of opulence, Gena's inability to be bought by a SUV and Jenn's shiny optimism.

Road To Nowhere: Episode 1 - The Life and Times of Wes Craven

Tue, 06 Jul 2021 07:05:00 GMT

This episode focuses on writer/director Wes Craven before his status as horror maestro. Though the film plays like a nasty, loose-cannon experiment, The Last House On The Left was an incredibly personal script. To gain insight into the state of mind guiding the project, we hear from the man himself through various interviews about this film and horror in general.

Mick Garris’s Post Mortem is featured heavily throughout the recording. Craven’s final interview on the show was a valuable source.

Post Mortem interview:

“Fairytales for the Apocalypse,” the 1985 print interview with Craven by Christopher Sharett is lamentably not readily accessible but it is available to read on JSTOR.

Sean Blumenshine’s review for The Fireworks Woman was also a great resource.

Music used:

Asian Women on the Telephone - “Horror Symphony”

dustmotes - “Dead Inside”

ESN Productions - “Horror Ambiance”

Chandler's Disclaimer: At one point I make reference to the Israel/Palestine conflict currently ongoing as an example for how viewpoints can be formed through the act of making people and things abstract in our minds.

In hindsight I see a major issue with how I only focused on the violence raging against Palestinians at the moment, and failed to reference the rise in antisemitism that has followed from the discourse around this topic. I want to make it perfectly clear that racially driven hate of any kind is unacceptable, and that the blame lies in the individuals who spread and/or act on such hate. I support Palestine in the politically driven violence taking place against their people, AND I support the Jewish population that is suffering at the hands of misguided hate thrown their way as if they are directly involved with the actions of any particular government or military.

Stopping race hate starts with you.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 9 - Freaks

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 07:05:00 GMT

We’re letting the freak flag fly with a discussion of Tod Browning’s 1932 film, Freaks. Incredibly controversial upon its release, it has left an indelible impression on pop culture and the horror genre – but did it have an impact on the perception of individuals with disabilities?

Freaks is the rare film where disabled actors are at forefront of a story that uses the setting of a sideshow to hone in on the “ordinariness” of their lives.

The history of the American sideshow intersects with disability in fascinating ways, and these two books are excellent resources if you’re interested in learning even more:

Sideshow U.S.A.: Freaks and the American Cultural Imagination by Rachel Adams
Freak Show: Presenting Human Oddities for Amusement and Profit by Robert Bogdan

Finally: shoutout to Freaks and Psychos podcast for their wonderful episode on Freaks!

Wed, 04 Nov 2020 05:05:00 GMT

This introductory episode of Monster Books is all about middle grade cosmic horror!

Host Jessica Scott gives a rundown on what cosmic horror is and why she prefers that term over Lovecraftian horror.

Then she talks about the creepy, absurdist graphic novel Apocalypse Taco by Nathan Hale and The Darkdeep by Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs, which combines ‘50s sci-fi and ‘80s horror tropes into a spooky modern adventure.

She dives into the reasons why groups of kids banding together against evil resonates so much with horror fans, why the bleakness of cosmic horror is so appealing, and why carnivorous nachos are such an important topic in horror literature.
