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…

Joe and Terry are psyched to be back as we discuss our favorite Brandon Cronenberg film, 2020's Possessor.

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

Bodies of Horror is going all-out penny arcade nightmare with Julie Taymor’s 1999 film, Titus. That’s right: the pod is in iambic pentameter while discussing this Shakespearean horror, what it's like to experience bodily trauma, the impact it has on the family and caregiver(s), and the toll of revenge on the body.

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.

Flag that video because Gena, Jenn and Joe are working in content moderation with Uta Briesewitz's American Sweatshop (2025). Starring Riverdale's Lili Reinhart as a woman-turned-vigilante, this film is part of a burgeoning subgenre we're calling "Good For Her...Oops, she took it too far."

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

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.

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.
