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.

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

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.

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.

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 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
