I guess if you had a little boy named “Tony” who lived in your mouth, and hid in your stomach you gotta trust your gut, right? Especially when shit is about to hit the fan. On this week's episode, The Babes cover a film that makes you not want to go to any remote, haunted destinations anytime soon - It’s the iconic, unsettling 1980’s horror-thriller: “The Shining”. We chop down the bathroom door to analyze the other side of the horrors of isolation, sinister obsession, telepathic heroes, AND how genius shouldn’t come before human decency. After you check-in, let’s jump on our tricycles, grab that bat, and have a drink with Llyod in the Gold Room. ITTTTT’S THE SHINING!

In this week’s episode, the Babes navigate the twists, and deep layers of THEE Austrian horror mystery Goodnight Mommy (2014). Sarinah and Jas discuss complicated relationships between mothers and sons, unhealthy trauma responses, and SO MUCH MORE.

We’re STILL the weirdos Mister!

The comfort of the 90’s witchy aesthetic is one of the Wonders of the World, and we MUST protect it at all costs. We give thanks to grunge all black outfits, dark brown lipstick, knee high socks, and combat boots. Blessed Be! On this episode, The Babes cover the beloved 1996 horror drama, and cult classic - The Craft. This film calls the corners of the occult, the power of sisterhood, prejudice, and that it’s cool to be a weirdo. This was a fun one, and this movie has bewitched us with a glamor spell - consensually, of course. Light your candles, sit in a circle with your coven and invoke the spirit of The Craft.

Awww, the youth. Our future, so innocent and unassuming. But is that just the perfect ruse? What if someone revealed to you that their own child was capable of horrendous acts?

On this episode, The Babes cover their oldest film yet - The alluring black and white, horror thriller from 1956, The Bad Seed. We discuss nosey neighbors, cunning 8 year olds, and how far a mother will go to protect her child. This movie is 68 years old and still shocks us! Grab your rollerblades, lock your treasure box, take your vitamins, AND be aware of The Bad Seed.

On this week's episode, The Babes dish and relish every moment of one of the most recognized horror films ever - The crime, horror classic from 1991, The Silence of the Lambs. A movie that still transcends into today’s pop culture, gave us one of the best female characters in horror, and even made us question whether to make dinner reservations with a certain Doctor? Play Q Lazzarus’ “Goodbye Horses”, put some lotion on, and see if you can hear The Silence of the Lambs.

Tickets bought, bags packed, and nirvana awaits! Well..maybe on a different vacation? This one was like if you got sunscreen in your eyes, and you’re trying to wait for the burning to stop.

Who’s to say…On this week’s episode we visit the grand, and intoxicating world of yet another film that had the internet feeling some kind of way. The Babes break down the sexy, satire-thriller; 2023’s Saltburn. While analyzing unconventional themes of obsession and manipulation, this film describes the many layers of classicism, gothic themes, and the insane lengths one will go to get what they want.

When at a gathering with friends, there is a moment where peer pressure mixed with a dash of curiosity sometimes gets the best of us. We just can’t help it.
