Brides of Frankenstein episodes

  • Alien: LEAVE THE F*****G CAT

    It's an extraterrestrial body horror extravaganza! This week, the Brides board the Nostromo and recap/discuss Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic, Alien. Why do people ignore quarantine protocol? Is Ash's secret a worthwhile addition to the film?  Could all of this have been avoided if everyone listened to Ripley? (Yes.) We also engage in the obligatory "H.R. Geiger's house of steampunk organs" conversation, and debate which movie has the scarier premise: Alien, or The Thing? We round things off with some palate cleansers, and of course, the blooper reel!

    This episode is dedicated to the memory of our favorite surprise android, Ian Holm. Rest well, Bilbo!

    This episode contains discussion of rape and sexual assault, particularly when we go into the discussion of the creature and its preferred method of impregnation. Take care of yourselves, friends! 

    Alien (1979) is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Ian Holm, John Hurt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, and Yaphet Kotto.

  • The Thing: Body Snatchers on Ice
    This week, the Brides lean all the way into isolation and head to Antarctica to recap John Carpenter's 1982 sci-fi thriller classic, The Thing. This movie has everything - tone, tension, brilliantly placed humor, exploding eyeballs, a head that turns into a spider, even computerized chess. It's all here! Plus, Lindsay has a lot of opinions about the critical response to the film and celebrates the best dog acting ever put to celluloid, and Alysa tries very hard to not just scream about Kurt Russell for an hour. She only barely succeeds. This episode is of course in tribute to the iconic Ennio Morricone and Wilford Brimley, who passed away in July and August respectively. Rest well, sirs!

  • The Evil Dead: Three Stooges But Make it Satan
    This week, the Brides pop in Sclera lenses, load up on Karo syrup, and open the Necronomicon in our gleeful recap of Sam Raimi's beloved demonic gorefest The Evil Dead. We discuss the brilliance of Bruce Campbell, the sheer nightmare that was this film's production, and how Raimi's background as a magician helped him pioneer some of the coolest looking shots in horror film history. We also touch on the history of the film as a "video nasty" and discuss the very good and very gross 2013 remake. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a blooper, in which you'll find out what Lindsay and Alysa were like at nineteen. Spoiler: They were nerds.
    As stated at the beginning, this episode contains discussion of sexual assault, due to our coverage of the infamous (and, in the Brides' opinions, entirely unnecessary) 'tree scene' in both films. Take care of yourselves and skip if you need to!
    The Evil Dead (1983). Directed by Sam Raimi, produced by Rob Tapert. Starring Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard DiManicor, Betsy Baker, and Theresa Tilly.
    Evil Dead (2013). Directed by Fede Alvarez, produced by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Rob Tapert, etc. Starring Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Jessica Lucas, Elizabeth Blackmore, and Lou Taylor Pucci.

  • Suspiria: Put Tilda Swinton in Everything

    This week on our first official episode, we tackle the 1977 Dario Argento classic, Suspiria, as well as the fantastic 2018 Luca Guadagnino remake of the same name. What makes a remake good? Why are the magical rules at the end of the movie? Why does Mother Markos look like Pizza the Hutt? And does Alysa's impression of Madame Tanner sound like Italian Dracula or Chef Boyardee? Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a special bonus clip, in which we imagine Tilda Swinton playing a variety of other roles. Crank up the Goblin, put on a dance unitard, and throw around some day-glo blood, let's get weird!

    Suspiria (1977) is directed by Dario Argento and stars Jessica Harper, Joan Bennett, and Udo Kier, with music by Goblin. Available to stream on Tubi, and also at-home rental on Netflix.

    Suspiria (2018) is directed by Luca Guadagnino and stars Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Chloe Grace Moretz, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, and Tilda Swinton, with music by Thom Yorke. Available to stream on Amazon Prime.
