Don't Split Up!

Welcome to Episode 100! In honor of this landmark moment, the gang pits your favorite movie monsters against each other to determine who is the greatest monster in cinema history. Who will emerge victorious? Only one way to find out... listen in!

The less revealed about the twisty, twisted indie horror Strange Darling, the better. The gang heads to the Pacific Northwest to explore this film that claims to based on true events: a deadly spree from a serial killer!

Smile 2 is the inevitable follow-up to the surprise box office smash of the first viral horror sensation. This time, the Smile demon targets not a person struggling with mental health, but a world-class pop princess. How does this new installment measure up? Plus: a surprise Friday 13th quiz!

There's a certain kind of scary movie that relies entirely on the payoff at the end. Is the monster actually scary? Do all those weird behaviors make sense in retrospect? Or is it just stupid? The gang heads to the German Alps to enjoy a little respite at Herr Konig's resort. What're those weird nighttime sounds? Best not to worry about 'em!

Since it's spooky season, Adriana and JR. bring you a bonus episode focused on TERRIFIER 3! This box office sensation builds in every way on its predecessors. But it's definitely NOT for everyone!

If you could take one shot and be younger and hotter would you? Welcome to THE SUBSTANCE, the shocking, provocative new horror movie starring Demi Moore. The gang heads to a dayglo Los Angeles to take on the Patriarchy. But is this film really a scream of rage? Or does it become the very thing it fights?

It's just a wooden puppet. Or a desk bell. They can't hurt us... right? The gang finds themselves in the Irish countryside investigating the murder of a twin (never a good start!) for ODDITY, one of 2024's creepiest films. Do the various kinds of scares add up to something spooky, or is ODDITY too convoluted for its own good?

When would you say no? The new film SPEAK NO EVIL asks how far we'll take social niceties, so the gang heads to the British countryside to investigate. We compare the new film to its Danish original and ask what the differences say about our different cultures. Plus: who has the best boundaries in the gang? And who would definitely wind up trapped by psychopaths?

Writer/Director Federico Zampaglione comes to the show to talk about his new Italian horror film THE WELL. Part monster movie, part gothic horror, this creepy, bloody new film stars Lauren LaVera, final girl of the TERRIFIER franchise! JR. talks with Federico about the film's scariest monster, his Italian horror roots, what's so scary about wells and plenty more.

It's been almost 40 years since Tim Burton and Michael Keaton introduced us to the ghost with the most, and he's finally back on the big screen. How did Beetlejuice age? How successful is this latest, spooky legasequel? And which of our cohosts realizes on-air that they missed the first 30 minutes of the film?
