Ahh! Real Films

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we take a venture off the beaten path and pine away on one of our favorite horror settings – the woods. We discuss two movies that may not be best known for being “forest movies” but nonetheless prove to be quintessential horror in the woods movies, all while we enjoy a nice (giant) can of Bud Lite Lime. Have we ever fainted at the premier of a horror movie? Did either of us know that Willem Defoe’s [redacted] was that big? Is “will.i.am defoe” a good pseudonym? And what movies make us shit and piss from laughter? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we cover a topic that we have someone not covered in almost 100 episodes of this podcast, witches! We give a ~*very brief*~ history of the depictions of witches in film history before diving into our two films. One is a modern take on witch tropes and one is THE classic witch film! Are witches to be feared, or respected? What is one of the earliest "documentaries" ever made? Is Satan scary? How hilarious are lonely old people on a scale of 10 to 10? Which witch do you wich? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss a much maligned and misunderstood classic horror director – M. Night Shyamalan! We go through a wide variety of his different films – both horror and non-horror – through the years, both the good and the (very) bad. This was a really delightful experience for both of our hosts as we get to know M. Night and his oeuvre (oof?) even better and answer questions such as: why do people always shit on M. Night? How do you pronounce “oeuvre”? Do you think narfs are comparable to elves? And how similar is Curtis to Bruce Willis? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we conquer our childhood fears. That's right, we're watching movies with trailers so terrifying....that five-year-old Taylor and....twelve (? lol) year-old Curtis simply could not handle watching their respective films--UNTIL NOW. We talk about why these films scared us so badly before getting into a lighthearted conversation about these late 90s and early 00s classics. Is Glen Close the scariest woman to ever walk the face of the earth? How many dogs is too many dogs? (spoiler: it's less than you think!) How many Korn CDs did we used to own, and how many times can we play the OOH-AH-AH-AH-AH clip in this episode? Can we name more than one Foo Fighters song? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we delve into the world of real-life Hollywood horror – the tragedies and tribulations (to put it mildly…) that actors and staff experienced on the set of two classic horror movies. In the episode, we not only discuss the hardships associated with these films, but also the films themselves – they’re pretty good, you may have heard of them! We also discuss other topics, such as: Did Curtis understand the assignment? How many men aged 45 have an 11-year-old sister? Do we pine for the days when 45-year-old men could date hot socialites? And, finally, when can we go back to the days when men were men? Ok maybe we don’t discuss all that and I’m a little preoccupied… who knows!? Listen and find out!

Also, included in this episode are our thoughts on the new Netflix-produced Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022). We decided to include our extended thoughts around the 1:35:00 mark as we could not fit in a mini-review into our schedule, but we hope you enjoy!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we continue our Trilogy Throwdown series with THE Prophecy films! We review three of the most 90s films of all time and discuss whether some sexy angels and Christopher Walken are enough to dethrone the current Trilogy Champ (TM), Saw! How does The Prophecy series build its worldview throughout each of the films? Is Hell, indeed, not big enough for both Lucifer and Gabriel? Which angel is the sexiest? Will Curtis ever learn to pronounce nephilim? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we delve into the world of horror anthologies! Yes, we’re as shocked as you are that we haven’t covered this topic before, but lo and behold, here we are, and we have two under-appreciated anthologies covered in this episode! Why did we all forget the Tales from the Darkside TV show? Is Curtis a misogynist or a misandrist? Is Debbie Harry God’s greatest creation? Listen in and find out!!
