Liz and Evan were champing at the bit for another Duplass-Brice masterpiece, and they’re thrilled that they found it in CREEP 2, the subject of this week’s episode. Join them as they marvel at one of the few sequels that truly outshines its predecessor, argue about artifice, performance, and what to call the titular villain, and rave about how the film defied and subverted their expectations at every turn. Plus, they chat about the Oscars, proclaim PHANTOM THREAD to be a horror film, and Evan gets confused about public transportation.

It was a dark and story February evening when Liz and Evan, bound by circumstance, came together to witness a very peculiar event: the 2015 Mexican sci-fi chamber piece THE SIMILARS. Little did they know that reality would not be as it seemed - perhaps never again - as they discussed the pitch-perfect pulpy tone and execution, as well as the film’s heavy political backdrop of student protests and government violence.

Oh, and then they talked about Netflix’s Big Game Surprise: THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX.

We're back! This week, Liz and Evan power through their respective illnesses in an attempt to start the new year off right with the cult favorite horror-comedy JOHN DIES AT THE END.

This week, Liz and Evan finally return from their Thanksgiving holiday to dig into the twists and turns of the surprisingly sweet HAUNTER.

Liz and Evan learned a lot about birth this week as they tried to make sense of the 2016 drug trip Antibirth. They’re joined in the studio by future doctor and resident medical expert Laura Hmiel, who helps in trying to understand what, exactly, an “antibirth” might be. (Spoiler alert: still have no idea.)

Join them as they ponder the logistics of immaculate conception, try to sort through dozens of seemingly unrelated plot threads, and laud Natasha Lyonne’s commitment to her performance as the only salvageable thing in this surreal and confusing mess of a movie.

Everyone’s favorite murderous doll is back, and so are Liz and Evan, as they tackle the 2013 straight-to-DVD sequel Curse of Chucky. They’re joined by Chucky expert and multi-time podcast guest James Skosky to do a deep dive into the history and future of the Child’s Play franchise, as the trio get lost in the details of this uniquely satisfying movie.

Join them as they applaud Brad Dourif (or is it Tommy Wiseau?) in the title role, consider the logistics of electrocution, get genuinely surprised by the twists and turns, and ultimately try to figure out how this low-budget, little-known sixth(!) sequel actually manages to be one of the best films in the franchise.

Liz and Evan polled Twitter, and democracy won when you - the listeners - chose IT FOLLOWS as this week’s movie. Join them as they discuss how the film handles its complicated sexual politics, ponder the myriad meanings and metaphors of the monster, and attempt to solve the mystery of that damn shell-phone e-reader.

Liz and Evan are celebrating one full year of watching all the horror movies currently streaming on Netflix (so you don’t have to). This week, it’s one you should watch while you can: Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. Join them in lauding the film as a metafictional masterpiece, unpacking its interest in the relationship between monsters and storytellers and gushing (of course) about their favorite director and horror icon.
