Horror Babes

Hey, Babes! Nicole and Topher are closing out June with a new classic: Jordan Peele's sophomore film 'Us' (2019). They're talking how to frame dance shots, why mirrors are awesome and why doppelgangers really aren't. Listen in for endless thirst for Winston Duke and praise for Lupita N'yongo.

There are SPOILERS in here, so watch the dang movie first!

Hey, Babes! What do we do when we cover South Korean horror? Call our good friend PremRock duh!! Topher and Prem sat down during a heat wave to chop it up about Na Hong-jin's near-perfect 2016 film 'The Wailing'. They're going in on oppressive regimes, how to use scores, and beat sampling. Might sound odd for a horror podcast, but that's how we do!! Check out PremRock's solo album, available June 25 (links below).
