It's a big entry to the 2024 horror catalog regardless of where you stand. Tangents are unhinged and many, and include: our beach week t-shirt exchange, Shyamalan, McAvoy, math, horror characters, corporate bonding, coin tosses, presidential astrology, Zach’s bday, wood, turning one another into Sims, spooky noises, and more.

MaXXXine: A Ball Stompin' Romp

Plug it Up is a horror movie podcast about the monstrous feminine. Host Caitlin Grant and her funny guests look at the monstrous feminine in all its forms, including: monstrous menstruation (like Carrie and Ginger Snaps), monstrous motherhood (like Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen), femmes fatales (like Jennifer’s Body and The Love Witch), black widows (like Dolores Claibore), body horror in women (like Teeth and Raw), treacherous friendships between women (like The Craft), women battling horrors (like You’re Next), and women who are themselves horrific (like Gone Girl). 

Although this show focuses on the experiences and portrayals of women in horror, it’s a gender inclusive space, and the discussion is open to people of all gender identities and presentations. It’s an explicitly intersectional feminist, trans-inclusive podcast for horror fans.
