Horror Babes

WE. ARE. FINALLY. DOING. JOHN. CARPENTER. MONTH!!!! It's Topher's birthday month, so we're kicking off a series on his favorite director with his favorite horror film: The Thing!! We're thirsting over Kurt Russell, practical effects and a misunderstood classic.

This movie is right at 40 years old, so there are SPOILERS here.

And if you love footnotes, we have them right here:

We're covering our most indie film ever this week. We dived int post-partum depression, story structure, and even more gender politics!! Join us for a journey int the work of serious indie horror filmmaking this week!

OBVI there's SPOILERS this week Babes!

We have a first this week!! Our first guest who was actually involved in the making of the movie we're talking about! It's rad! We're talking about Boarding School (2018) with Nico Oliveri this week. It's a dive into queerness, fascists, and horror as art. We had such a great time recording this episode and hope you have an even better time listening to it.

What up, Babes? It's another week with at least three final girls, two hosts who have feelings about a problematic trope and one movie: The Final Girls (2015). As we often do, we're diving into what makes a good commentary and how our favorite genre can do more.

Clearly, there's going to be SPOILERS.

No it's not a fake - we're covering another famous director this week, and once again it's one of their earliest works. Y'all can't stop us!! This week it's Guillermo del Toro's "Mimic". We're talking cool 90s weirdness and Weinstein nonsense.

There's def SPOILERS in this episode, Babes.

A very happy and gory New Year, Babes! We're covering Dead Alive (aka Braindead) to kick it off. There's a whole mess of gore, Peter Jackson as a young director and zombie gazpacho in this one.

This movie is nearly 30 years old, so know there's going to be SPOILERS in here!

Happy Crimpler! Hope you've got your spirits high (a pretty tall order this year - we know), because Krampus (2015) is coming to town! Join as we talk about good dumb fun, character actors, and holiday memories.

This movie came out five years ago, so there's for sure SPOILERS kids!!

Wanna hear a scary story? This week, we're talking about the (almost) brand new movie Scare Me (2020) from writer and director Josh Ruben. We dive into the horror-camp divide, awesome character work and gender politics as horror.

Since this movie is pretty darn new, so just to let you know, there are SPOILERS in here.

We had a blast this week! We covered a super-fun, super-cool film with Radio Silence's third feature Ready or Not (2019). We want to throw out a huge thank you to friend-of-the-pod Sibs for leaning on us so hard to cover this amazing and fun romp.

Since this is such a recent movie, yes, there are SPOILERS.

Also, here's the article we kept referencing in the episode:

It's another episode of Horror Babes! Because it's Friday!! We're covering a pretty new one for the second time ever with Run (2020) which dropped on Hulu a couple weeks ago. We're talking abusive parents, disability politics and a seriously missed Tears For Fears reference (Topher is really upset about that one).

We aren't gonna get mad at you for not getting that there's SPOILERS on this one because it's legit brand new.
