Hey, Babes! It's Nicole's birthday month so you know we had to have a theme! It's Soundtracks That Slap, which means we're kicking it off with none other than the brand new Foo Fighters horror-comedy, Studio 666 (2022). Listen in to hear all about why music is so important in film, how to make good campy fun, and to wonder why Topher drinks coffee way too loudly.

Heads up, there are SPOILERS here, so don't get it twisted.

Hey, Babes! Horror or Nah? is back! By accident this time!! Topher has special guest Nicole Leigh Hood on to chat about Boots Riley's debut feature: Sorry to Bother You (2018) and whether or not it lives in the horror genre or some other strange place. Give it a listen to find out the definitive final answer to the question that's been bothering all of you (sorry for that).

Hey, Babes! March is here with a recent film from an up-and-coming writer/director we're really stoked for! We covered Julia Ducournau's debut feature: Raw (2016). What a ride this movie is. In all honesty, just watch it and then decide if you wanna listen (or the other way around - we're not your dads). Just know it is an amazing, gorgeous, seriously intense film we both loved.
