Bryan and Joe return to discuss Nathan Balingrud's short story anthology Wounds: Six Stories From The Border of Hell (2019).

This one is there for us, though some stories are too short ("The Maw") while others are too long ("Skullpocket"). But when one hits, like the finale "The Butcher's Table", we're obsessed.

Plus: Barker-esque body horror imagery; why Bryan needed more obvious connective tissue; and our interest in the film adaptation.

Curry Barker’s Obsession (2026) is one of the most-talked about horror movies of the year, and Nichole couldn’t resist getting in on the fun. Instead of focusing on the broader themes of misogyny and what an awful, awful person Bear is, let's recontextualize the relationship between Nikki and Bear through a lens of caring for partner with additional support needs – and the impact it can have.

Bryan and Joe return to discuss Gretchen Felker-Martin's 'Hellbound Heart'-referencing Black Flame (2025)

The challenging story of a self-hating queer Jewish woman who becomes embroiled in a hallucinatory lost film can be difficult, but we quite like how the novel plays in the sandbox of disgust to explore Ellen's transformation.

Plus: "is she going mad or is it real?" narratives; gnarly body horror; disgusting men; and a Hellraiser 3 ending.
