Charlie joins Caitlin to cover Demian Rugna's Terrified from 2017. It's a great movie with well-developed characters, solid writing, and excellent scares.

Tangents include: Mark Ruffalo, Chinese takeout, memoir titles, freezer placement, and a tricky Would You Rather.

Victor joins Caitlin to cover Weapons, the 2025 horror hit from Zach Cregger. We talk about the movie's structure, acting, and writing, as well as its various motifs and themes. And what a fantastic new monstrous femme figure in Aunt Gladys!

Tangents include: theaters, Magnolia, childhood years and fears, and Pizzagate.

Talking sin and censorship with Joe as we cover 1971's The Devils. It's one of the most controversial and most censored movies in the Western world, but it's also thematically very important (and relevant). We love this movie for its set design, its performances, its writing, its themes, and, of course, its reputation.

Tangents include: Space Jam 2, Nine Inch Nails, Jodie's awesome Monopoly and video game save point questions, things we're looking forward to, places we'd move if language wasn't a barrier, and our midlife crises

Chattin' X Files with Chaz. Charlie joins to cover S4E6 "Sanguinarium," a spooky and gruesome episode that really resonates. We talk about beauty horror, witchcraft, the occult, and straight PINS, brah.

Tangents include: Argentinian Spanish, monopoly game pieces, theoretical video game save points, things we're looking forward to, countries to live in, and religions to choose.

Mary and Mathula join Caitlin to cover Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II. It's a movie that the three of us really enjoy, and we contest that it's more than "torture porn." It's got a great "good for her" moment, and we just love seeing Heather Matarazzo. 

Tangents include: meeting celebrities at cons, gay crushes, cleaning out the fridge, the goodwill auction site, custom monopoly game pieces, theoretical video game save points, walk-out music, renting vs owning, and favorite animals. 

Mary joins Caitlin to cover 2025's The Woman in the Yard, a horror movie about grief and depression. We talk about the score, the cast, the symbols, and the themes, including some monstrous motherhood and a monstrous femme figure.

Tangents include: Giada-deLaurentis-speak (ugh), pets, our vacations, meals, time off, coming home, places not to vacation, FMK Moby Dick edition, songs of the summer, monetized super powers, shampoo and conditioner fragrances, bones, and our fourth favorite colors.

Charlie joins Caitlin to cover Bring Her Back, the heavy new A24 release from the Philippou brothers. We talk about death, grief, ritual, and the monstrous-motherhood aspect of the movie. It's a rough watch, but likely one of the bigger and better releases of the year.

Tangents include: Midnight Sun, favorite coffee and tea blends, caffeine in general, 1 WYR, 2 FMKs, calendars, the heat, undergarments, fish, cats, Dead Dad Brunch, and trailers.

Hot Girl Mary joins Caitlin to cover a slew of 2025 horror movie trailers. We review the trailers for: I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Long Walk, Gator Creek, Him, Weapons, Together, M3GAN 2.0, and The Conjuring: Last Rites. Will you see these? In theaters?

Tangents include: happy meals, squishmallows, pets, Eli, hot girl behavior, The Office, bread, moldy bread, shrimp, so-bad-they're-good movies, what makes a good trailer, and two FMKs.

Nichole of the Light and Shadow Podcast joins Caitlin to cover 2020's Relic, an underseen gem that deserves attention. We talk about monstrous motherhood, fears of aging, decline, deterioration, and the trauma that we can all inherit. Find it on Shudder.

Randy from the Straight Chilling Podcast joins Caitlin to cover the newest installment in Netflix's Fear Street saga: Prom Queen! In many ways, Fear Street: Prom Queen is a very Plug It Up movie, as it features coming of age horror AND monstrous motherhood. We enjoyed being taken to a gory 80s prom - tropes and all.

Tangents include: horror news, prom (of course), VH1's I Love the [Decade]s show, nicknames, camp, superlatives, and yearbooks.
