From Under The Bed

Dust Bunnies, have you seen My Bloody Valentine, the pinnacle of all 3D creation circa 2009? We're going to bank on your answer being "er...no," or the last time you HAVE seen it was literally 2009. Go, watch, refresh, realize, and adore this film with us! That's right, My Bloody Valentine might be a surprise hit for us, and no, we're not letting our SuperWhoLock brains take over (that much). If you want teen-slasher gore without any of the teen shenanigans, Jensen Ackles rarely smiling but looking like a marble sculpture, at LEAST four old white men who are all vaguely nice yet aggressive but indiscernible from one another, and a murder mystery that's worthy of being your 2021 Valentine's date - join us for our audible love letter to My Bloody Valentine <3

WE FINALLY did it!!!! Dust Bunnies, we've finally embarked on our Conjuring Universe journey! We couldn't be more excited to start breaking down and freaking out over everything in James Wan's cinematic horror world featuring two of the best people we know - Vera Farmiga & Patrick Wilson, duh! (Aka Mom & Dad). Did The Conjuring (2013) change the scary movie genre for good? Yes. Is this a film we were almost terrified to cover because we love it JUST that much? Also true. But we've started down our Conjuring path that'll lead to many other gems in the film universe, & we can't wait for you to join us!

What's your DAMAGE, Heather? Not to target all of the Heathers out there, but we'd really like an answer to that question. Heather (1989) is one-of-a-kind - and the first of its kind! Often imitated, but never duplicated! And we're about to dive into every last scene, quotable moment, and incredible Veronica & J.D. wardrobe choice that this iconic film has to offer. Maybe you're a fan of the Broadway musical, maybe you were interested in the short-lived 2018 TV show, or maybe you've been into Heathers long before Conan Gray had the name in his song - either way, we cover it all! So grab your monocle and get ready to explore every bit of this dark comedy with us, Dust Bunnies!

We debated quite a while, Dust Bunnies - and we're not sure if our final decision was a success or if it will haunt us evermore - but we let our instincts and recency bias be the determining factor in choosing the 2019 version of Black Christmas. I mean, 1974 and 2006? We don't know her (yet). In this episode, we'll dive into Jude Law twins, Cary Elwes filmography, what makes a film feminist, tales from the sorority house, and why frat houses are chaotic settings from another realm. Join us this Christmas as we figure out whether we should have traveled further back to the early 2000s or 70s, or if 2019 was truly the place to be (I mean, by 2020 terms, YES). Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!

Do you love the holidays with the family or are they a pain in the KRAMPus? It doesn't really matter, because Krampus (2015) doesn't really explore those issues. Instead, you get some outdated jokes, unhinged jaws, TONI COLLETTE, random mid-movie animation, demons with feelings, Polar Express/Pans Labyrinth vibes, & zero Adam Scott staring into the camera. But rest assured, Dust Bunnies! We were breaking the fourth wall with deadpan faces the entire time we dove into this horror holiday film. Come join us under the bed as we break down Krampus from confusing start to finish, & how its ending is either its doom or Christmas miracle! (We're determined to ~feel~ something from this movie, okay?)

Why does just the wording of, “As Above, So Below” give us major chills?! I mean - you feel it too, right? We’ll dive into that & so much more when you join us under(below?!) the bed for this episode covering everything As Above, So Below (2014). This film isn’t The Descent, it isn’t a video game (or is it?), but it’s certainly a Ben Feldman CRUSH HOUSE up in here. There are Benjamins, Benjis, & supposed-Georges, & a LOT of Dante’s Inferno symbolism…like, a lot, a lot. Grab your archaeologist gear, required boots, & Nicolas Flamel pamphlets - & get ready to explore the Paris catacombs with us!

The Others (2001), with its exceptional slow burn storytelling, flips the haunted house trope entirely on its head! In this episode, we dive into how re-watchable this classic is, the Ninth Doctor’s sometimes-forgotten appearance, the significance of a forbidden sunlight theme, and the entire timeline of Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman’s marriage (it’s relevant, okay?!). Lock the doors, cover the windows, and join us under the bed as the Others go bump in the night! But please - don’t bring any pillows.

Dust Bunnies, it’s time to turn the LIGHTS OUT (2016)! But as always, we’ll permit a night light and endless stuffed animals, duh. We think this film should be a cult-classic, deep-analysis phenomenon, & maybe to some it already is! Join us under the bed as we explore dynamic emotions, realistic relationships, a rocker boyfriend with a heart of pure gold (we heart Bret!), missing scenes we somehow manifested into our memories (r we ok?), & our love for our possibly tired & absolutely stunning queen: Teresa Palmer. Bring a candle, we’ll grab our flashlights, & hey - can someone get a UV ray light? No? Okay, that’s fine. We’ll manage. Now’s the time to be (a ‘lil bit) afraid of the dark!

2020 has been a JOURNEY - and for us, so was Trick ‘r Treat (2007). Words cannot express the roller coaster that we, perhaps unnecessarily, went on with this cult classic!! But then again, maybe that’s all part of the spooky-scary adventure. We’ve got werewolves, zombies, & a perfectly round-headed pumpkin kid to discuss - so join us under the bed and listen to us come to truly appreciate this film in ~real time~! Be sure to follow all the rules, Dust Bunnies, & HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

It’s SpOoKY SZN but our hearts are still soft: this episode, we’re talking everything Julie and the Phantoms (2020)! 3+ ghosts? Pure, platonic & familial love? Undeniable bops & jams, forever stuck in our heads? This show has it all and then some! Join us under the bed (where there’s only love, no scare) and dive ~face first, full charge~ into the emotional journey JATP takes us on! Laugh with us, cry with us, and “simp” for Luke to your heart’s content - we’re here for you, Dust Bunnies. #TellYourFriends
