Now Screaming

Liz and Evan have been working late in the lab to bring this week’s episode to life: THE LAZARUS EFFECT (which is most certainly not a documentary about food). Join them as they temper their excitement about the excellent cast with their confusion with the film’s failure to stick the landing, and ask big questions about pseudoscience and zombie communities along the way.

“Beware the moon, and stick to the road…” Oops.

This week, Liz and Evan take on John Landis’s cult classic horror-comedy AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. Join them as they rave about Rick Baker’s impressively grotesque effects, nurse their whiplash from the abrupt shifts in tone, and puzzle over what, exactly, that mutant Nazi dream sequence is about.

This week, Liz and Evan break the seal on the found-footage genre with the Spanish (though English-language, for some reason) film APARTMENT 143. Join them as they consider contrast in technique and tone, debate the mysterious mechanics of Poltergeist syndrome, and get frustrated about what the film doesn’t tell us. (They also make a big announcement about the future of the podcast!)

This week, Liz and Evan continue their journey abroad and traverse the dusty roads of Spain with ASMODEXIA, the podcast’s second exorcism movie (and third foreign-language film). Join them as they explicate the meandering plot, have difficulty differentiating between Diana, Luna, Ona, and Alba, and rant about the etymology of the film’s title.

Feeling surreal? This week, Liz and Evan descend into pure entropy with BASKIN, purportedly the 8th Turkish film to ever reach American shores. Join them as they repeatedly sigh at obnoxious cops and locker room talk, disagree about the film’s relationship to Islam, and ultimately admit that they have no idea what happened in this movie.

That was us on the way down... into the delightful mindfuck of MINE GAMES. Liz and Evan revel in the mysterious mine, ponder its rules, get enraged about Lex (or is it Lexi?), and share their theorems regarding the Infinite Michaels Paradox.

There's a rumbling, then three sharp knocks... it's THE BABADOOK and Liz and Evan are letting him in. Tune in as they take apart and examine the film's metaphorical tidiness (or lack thereof), debate Amelia's parenting techniques, and do their best Babadook impressions.

The time has come: Liz and Evan voyage to the Vatican for their first foray into the exorcism genre: THE RITE. Tune in as they exalt Anthony Hopkins’ acting, lament pacing and plot holes, and get into a heated argument about appropriate demon behavior.

It’s 2017, and the first roll of the roulette has led Liz and Evan to QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, an unfortunate mashup of Anne Rice’s classic vampires and early 2000s pop culture. Join them as they get lost in the egregious and lumbering plot, mourn the disappointing lack of Aaliyah as the titular Queen in her final film role, and dive deep into Liz’s strongly-held belief that “vampires are boring.”

Happy new year! Liz and Evan are back to tackle DEATHGASM, the Kiwi heavy metal nightmare they never asked for. Join them as they try to comprehend metal subgenres, get grossed out by gratuitous gore, and end up exasperated at the film's sophomoric vulgarity.
