Ep 27 - Blade 1998

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 09:00:38 GMT

It's a new week, and we're back with our final episode for our Vampire-themed month. We recapped one of our all-time favourite vampire characters in the 1998 action-horror movie Blade, directed by Stephen Norrington and written by David S. Goyer. We were thrilled to see Wesley Snipes back on our screens, his amazing performance in this classic, showcases he was a creative genius before his time!

Notable highlights: True to nature, we start our episode with a segue, but we find ourselves back on track. Wesley Snipes would've been an interesting Black Panther, please invite us to a "Blood Rave" in da kluurb - we're all Fam-pires!!

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 09:33:51 GMT

Episode 14 - Ginger Snaps

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 06:49:41 GMT

We're kicking off spooky season and our Halloween theme with the 2000 classic, Ginger Snaps, directed by John Fawcett and written by Karen Walton.

Sure, it's about werewolves, but it's also about the hell of being a teenage girl, sisterhood, and the oh-so-2000s nightmare of suburban angst. We loved Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins' performances, and as weird girls ourselves - hard relate. Justice for Mrs Fitzgerald though, a ride or die mama!

Episode 13 - Totally Killer

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 06:33:12 GMT

*Heads up: We're aware of a slight issue with sound quality on this one - we had a little technical problem this week, so please bear with us! Xoxo

The words "feelgood" and "slasher" don't usually go together, but Totally Killer somehow delivers on the warm and fuzzies AND the bloody mayhem.

Join us for a recap of Nahnatchka Khan's 2023 time-travelling slasher, and our usual tangents, which include:

• Mixing up Kiernan Shipka lookalikes, McKenna Grace and Bailee Madison (you can't blame us, they're identical!)

• Weird stuff we did as kids pre-Internet, before safety concerns were invented

• Shameful dodgeball confessions

• The evolution of weed
