Blood, Fear, and Beer: A Horror Movie Podcast

We couldn’t avoid it any longer; Alicia and Greg are finally taking the plunge and tackling one of Greg’s all times favorites: 1979’s sci-fi horror masterpiece, Alien. With its jaw-dropping set pieces, incredible creature design, and genuinely terrifying subject matter, Alien truly has it all. Crack open your malty beverage of choice and sit back with us as we pay tribute to both women's history month and Ellen Ripley by discussing our favorite women in horror before dissecting this enduring classic.

We have one word to describe this week's movie: wow. Jayro Bustamante's 2020 dark masterpiece La Llorona seamlessly blends horror elements with the story of the real-life atrocities committed against the indigenous people of Guatemala. Grab yourself a beer (or maybe something stronger) and join us as we are treated to an incredibly insightful listener voicemail before diving into the horrifying true story that inspired this beautiful film and the elements that make it work so well. It's a heavy one!

 Greetings from our new home! After spending several weeks packing and moving, Alicia was in the mood for some good old fashioned entertainment. What better way to celebrate moving into a new home than watching 2013's The Conjuring? It's a heartwarming story about a family moving into a new home only to discover it isn't as isolated as they thought. Crack open a malty beverage of your choice and join us as we swap spooky stories before dissecting what makes this movie a modern classic. It's a scream!

Happy New Year, horror fans! This week, we decided to sink our teeth into Man Bites Dog, the cheeky 1992 mockumentary that depicts a film crew documenting a serial killer’s day-to-day life and gruesome kills. Pour yourself an ale and join us as we talk about some of our favorite mockumentaries, the multiple (and somewhat convoluted) themes of this movie, and what just didn’t work for us. Enjoy!
