Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss one horror’s many sub-genres: science fiction horror! Yes, finally we discuss the crossover genre made in heaven, the Reece’s Peanut Butter cup genre, the uh… hot dog and macaroni cheese of horror and mostly give ourselves an excuse to cover the Fly in detail. Is the “brundle” a body part and, if so, what is it? Does Curtis make bad analogies about peanut butter cups (including here!) far too much? Do we REALLY want to know more about the cat-monkey? And, finally, wow, do Curtis and Taylor ACTUALLY disagree about a movie?  Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we cover everyone's FAVORITE decade of horror films, the naughty aughties! We discuss two American remakes of foreign films that came out in the 2000s and along the way, get into the who, what, when, where, how, and most importantly, why, of remakes in general. What value do remakes have, particularly English-language remakes of foreign films? Why were there so many remakes in the 2000s? Is J Conn a bad bitch in every film she's in (spoiler alert she is)? How do you pronounce Michael Haneke's name and is our German great-grandmother ashamed of us? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss a topic that probably every other horror podcast has covered much better than us, grindhouse horror!! What makes a film a grindhouse film? The type of theater it was shown in? The topics it covers? Is there a certain ratio of boobs to gore to exploitation necessary? Does the film have to be a disgusting horrorshow that forces Gene Siskel out of the theater in only 30 minutes? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss a topic near and dear to all millennial hearts – the 90s! Specifically, we discuss two horror films (and boy, do we mean FILMS) that could’ve only been made in the 90s – Interview with a Vampire and the Faculty. In addition, we also discuss our top five horror films from the 90s and debate what exactly makes a movie feel 90s – the clothes? The cast? The Offspring song that inevitably greets you at the opening credits? The smoldering latent homosexuality the simmers beneath the surface but can’t come to the fore because we still have a good decade or two before that’s allowed? Listen to this episode and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss representation of LGBTQ+ people in horror films--throughout the ages! We tackle a modern take on Rosemary's Baby before diving into a historic horror film with a lot going on. How have LGBTQ+ people been represented in horror films? How has subtext played a role in this representation, particularly in historic films? Does Taylor resemble a horror film character not only in name, but in looks and style? Listen and find out!
