Welcome to season two, Morgue Rats!  In this episode, I introduce to you the films, themes, and ideas surrounding what I call Cultural Extremism, along with finally defining what this damn title means. It will be a season of uncomfortable truths and disturbing films; films that shatter your soul and throw you deep into an existential crisis. Trust me, make sure you have your palette cleansers already lined up! You’ll need them. 

Grab my hand and let’s take this messed up journey together…

In this episode of SPINSTERS CHOICE, one of us selects a movie we're passionate about. This time, it's Jessica's turn, and naturally, she is taking us back to Japan. Japanese horror, especially J-Horror, is captivating, and combine it with found footage, and you have a Koji Shiraishi film—the director we have decided to spotlight for this Spinster’s Choice. We'll be focusing on two lesser-known films, Occult (2009) and A Record of Sweet Murder (2014). We'll revisit the essence of Japanese horror and the J-horror movement, discuss Koji Shiraishi’s influence and impact on the genre, and explore why Japan has so many cults. 

Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…

It’s time for season one to die. Necrophilia is dead, buried, and no one has been left wanting. From the concept of the taboo, to reflections of the season past, this episode should satisfy your lust for the macabre. Remember, everyone benefits from rational educational exposure to taboo topics, and corpse fucking has been dissected to death. 

This is my Epitaph….

In this episode, we are returning to our beloved Weird Girl to discuss the recently released whimsical necro rom-com LISA FRANKENSTEIN from 2024. We will revisit who the Weird Girl is, discuss the morbidity of young girls (and ourselves), and come to a topic that we find ourselves never escaping… NECROPHILIA.

Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…

This month is the season finale! And I have chosen the perfect film and guest to end on. I will be dissecting THE YEARNING OF MARIA D (2018) from the elusive underground filmmaker Marian Dora. The final movie on necrophilia is a powerhouse of the extreme, and I can’t wait to share it with you. We will be tackling animal death on screen, arthouse extreme, and of course, the necrophilia of it all. 

My guest for this episode is the co-host of my other show, I SPIT ON YOUR PODCAST, and a long-time friend, Jessica!  Jess is a Doom Metal Witch who enjoys subversive cinema, exploring her chaotic taste in music, and being the goth Weird Girl. She has written for various horror outlets such as Grim Magazine, Horror Homeroom, and Last Girls Club. And when she is not watching Japanese horror movies, she is watching anime, playing video games, and hanging out with her cats.

In this episode, we conclude our in-depth exploration of Ti West’s slasher trilogy with the 2024 film MaXXXine. We continue from our discussions on X and Pearl, concentrating on the connection between the porn industry and the horror genre. This installment takes us into the 80s atmosphere as we follow our protagonist, Maxine Minx, on her path to becoming Hollywood's next major horror icon. Meanwhile, she confronts her past involving a serial killer and an Evangelical Father.

This month, I'm traversing the world of Italian horror cinema with Lamberto Bava’s MACABRE! Known for releasing some controversial films like Cannibal Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox, and The New York Ripper, the Italian horror market is no stranger to transgressive themes. Though this is a more subtle take on necrophilia than other films covered, it is weird, romantic, and interesting! An underseen gem, Macabre stays true to its name. 

My guest for this episode is Donna Tha Dead! Donna is a passionate horror podcaster who dives deep into the eerie, unsettling, and mysterious. As a woman of color in the horror community, she brings fresh perspectives to the genre, exploring everything from horror and cult classics to series with horror undertones. With a love for storytelling and a knack for uncovering the terrifying tales that lurk in the shadows, she creates chilling content that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats. Whether dissecting cultural influences in horror or speaking with fellow enthusiasts, she’s dedicated to amplifying diverse voices in the world of the macabre.

In this episode, we are returning to Original Vs. The Remake with not one by three films! With the release of Robert Eggert’s film Nosferatu (2024), we decided it was time for us to get caught up on this new adaptation of two beloved vampire films of ours: Nosferatu (1922) & Nosferatu (1979). We will explore how each of these films compare to each other when it comes to the style/aesthetic, the creation of a monster in Count Orlock, and the influence of the occult. 

Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…

This month, I am diving into the wonderful, grimy world of 90s shot-on-video cinema. Starring the cult star Ghetty Chasun and a part of Hugh Gallagher’s Gore trilogy, this is one of my favorite necrophilia films! It portrays two interesting aspects of the fetish: one titillating and one desperate, both entertaining. 

My guest for this episode is Marcus Koch! Marcus is a special effects artist specializing in realistic gore FX. His work can be seen in movies like We Are Still Here (2015), Jakob's Wife (2021), and Sweatshop (2009). He even directs his movies on rare occasions, like ROT (1999), 100 Tears (2007), and Bloodshock (2015), which is the second film in the American Guinea Pig series.

In this episode, we are bringing back SPINSTER vs SPINSTER, and the film up for debate is the 1987 Neo-Western vampire film, Near Dark. One of us loves it and the other finds the film to be overrated.
