Normally there would be a mini-episode teasing out the film. Normally we don't do films that are still in theaters. Normally we space out our releases. But Get Out isn't a normal horror film and we just couldn't wait to dig into Jordan Peele's directorial debut.

On this episode, guest Madison Rae enters the cat cave to help us dissect Ana Lily Amirpour's 2014 Iranian, feminist vampire tale A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night. Listen in as we talk social critique, soundtracks, arty shots, and just how hard it is to be a vampire.

We're BACK! Our slacking on episodes is abating for a least a little while here and we are stoked to be reentering the cave. We are also stoked to be joined by first time guest and all around great person Madison Rae to talk with her about her love for horror films, vampires, atmosphere, and Sam Neill. We also tease out next week's film, the 2014 genre bending modern horror classic A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night.

Enter the Cat Cave as Jay and Pierce run down their top five lists for best and worst horror films of 2016 (and only about 2 months late!). Did your favorite make the list? Did you anti-favorite? Did we shit on your favorite movie of the year? Only one way to find out.

On this episode, we induct John Carpenter's 1988 Horror Classic They Live into the Can Cave Cinema Vault. Given the state of the world right now (both domestically and internationally), it seems like a particularly important time to revisit this one. So strap in to get dark with us as we put the glasses on and stare unflinchingly into our horrifying reality. They Live, We Sleep.

On this mini-episode, you get to sit in on Pierce and J's post-election therapy session. We try and makes sense of the fact we now live in a dystopian horror film, the role horror can play in dark times, and how to recognize privilege and responsibility while still maintaining sanity and self care. With all that in mind, it seemed like They Live would be a perfect choice for next weeks vault entry. Also, as a treat for those of you who stick out the ultra serious turn however, we also decided to give you a special mini-episode dissection of the Simpson's classic Citizen Kang!

Strap yourselves in for our journey to the roots of David Keating's 2015 folk horror tale Cherry Tree. We are joined on this confusing (though often pretty) journey by the one and only Lizz Mazer who, as you may remember from the mini-episode, has some strong feelings about this here film. What are those feelings? Well, listen and find out!

As a quick aside, this episode was recorded before our culture decided that the Purge films actually seemed like a good idea for a political strategy and turned our reality into a horror film of its own. As such, this episode can act as an escape from our current reality for you. But on the next mini-episode, Pierce and I are going to be talking not only about our next film, but about our current reality, what place horror has in it, and what the fuck you do once you've run upstairs and are now trapped in the house with the monster.

On this mini-episode we tease next week's film, David Keating's 2015 witchy folk horror tale Cherry Tree. We also sit down with Lizz Mazer to get their take on what is great and terrible about the horror genre.

This week on the podcast we (arguable ill advisedly)welcome a Clown into the Cat Cave (the 2014/2016 body horror film Clown to be exact). Just us and our guest, Swikar Patel, as we discuss birthday cake cravings, clown fetishes, and how some good moments can't overshadow the inability to settle on a consistent tone.

On this mini episode we contemplate what brought us to discuss next week's film, the Eli Roth produced body horror/creature feature Clown. We also sit down with out latest guest, Swikar Patel, to talk about documentary film making, Hindu gods as gateways to horror, whether or not Jaws 3 was actually the best in the franchise, and finally decide to stick our feet in our collective mouth by discussing whether or not there are Bollywood horror films (spoiler alert, we are 100% wrong).
