As this 10-year fantasy epic draws to a close, we reflect on some of the highs and lows of the best show about giant monsters eating people. We cover the divisive finale, some of the most memorable moments from the series, and why it absolutely should have ended with a movie. (...we also talk about Spider-Man 3 again)

For our final HHfC entry of 2023, we are tackling the movie adaptation of the popular horror franchise Five Nights at Freddy's which turned out to have not many scares at all. Does this movie hold up to an audience who's never played the game and is it as good as its knockoff starring Nicholas Cage?

For our slasher pick this year, we found an 80's satire somewhere between Scream and Scary Movie: McG's The Babysitter. If you came here for meaningful metaphors and sharp social commentary, you may want to look elsewhere; if you want to see hot teens(?) getting murdered, this is the movie for you.

We continue our series of scary movies for wimps with a movie that probably isn't for wimps: Barbarian. This horror film about an AirBnB gone awry, written and directed by Whitest Kids U'Know alum Zach Cregger, starts with some heavy tension and only goes downhill from there.

As we enter the spookiest month of the year, these three wimps face our fears and watch a bunch of scary movies. First up this year, a home invasion horror with an extraterrestrial twist and some generally fantastic production quality. Join us as we talk about this Hulu exclusive horror/thriller: No One Will Save You.

The last remnant of a DC universe gone by, The Flash brings back some familiar faces, young and old, to anchor this time-traveling adventure. But does patchwork franchise starring a problematic lead justify its big gamble? Or was this record-setting box office flop a little better than its reputation?

One of the most beloved additions to the Star Wars universe, Ahsoka Tano finally makes her live-action debut in an epic adventure to stop a threat to a burgeoning republic. Does this new series recapture some classic Star Wars magic? Or is Disney just adding more padding to justify their streaming service?

The turtles are back and more teenage than ever! This star-studded Seth Rogen reboot brings new life to familiar characters as the turtles  venture into the human world and wrestle with how they fit in it.

We're catching up on as much post-strike news as possible including the reunion of the Coen brothers, Guillermo del Toro's next classic monster movie, Fantastic Four casting retractions, and trailers for Ahsoka, Ridley Scott's Napoleon, and Loki season 2.

In honor of the greatest double feature of the decade, we're doing a special double episode for two of the most different movies imaginable, Greta Gerwig's Barbie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.
