Run and Stumble

Welcome to the Derry Municipal Water Pollution Control Authority, I think you’ll find everything here in our sewers to be up to EPA code and fresh as a damn daisy, with one NOTABLE exception being the malingering child murdering clown. He does live down here, yeah. Yep. Not great. 8/10 Could Do Better.

Your humble hosts decided we needed to circle back and address some of the pluses and conseses of the new IT movie, in addition to talking about Zoe’s thoughts on what she’s read of the book so far. No, she hasn’t finished it yet! It’s 1,138 pages, leave her alone ok! It was a busy summer, you bullies!

Hey sweet stumblepals, its your old friend Zoe here, as Gabrielle will be in the Phillipines for the next MONTH (as if I don’t rely daily on her unfettered attention just to get me through the day) and so these write ups are probably not going to be as luxe as you might be used to. This week we watched 2007 burnt offering “Trick ‘r Treat”, an anthology of halloween parables interwoven into the rich fabric of time. Gabby tests out her new NPR identity, coining the phrase “Avatar of sin”, which will surely go down in the books as one of the best filler phrases to date, and – warning to all dogs – last episode we talked about eating you, this week we talk about…something else not great! Sorry we’re so fucking weird about dogs right now!! We love dogs, really. Really we do.

Do you love werewolves and The Care and Keeping of You? Then this week’s Ginger Snaps R+S is right up your dark, menacing alley! We un-ironically examine an eternal, codependent female duo and our changing bodies. “Out by sixteen or dead on the scene, but together forever!”

PS, BREAKING – GABBY EATS DOGS. – Zoe

1, 2 Run and Stumble’s coming for you with a dreamy new episode – A Nightmare on Elm Street. As usual we manage to turn it into a blistering takedown of the patriarchy on multiple fronts and also talk dream logic, practical effects (shocker!) and our eternal love of Nancy. WE’RE your boyfriend now Nancy!

Put on your granny panties and start tip toeing, we reviewed Tremors in a hunger fugue state and the loopy results are here for your delectation. If you’ve ever wondered if Kevin Bacon is wearing a wig or what Zoe’s lesbian roots are than this episode is the answer to all your prayers. Like rate and review or the graboids’ll getcha!

HUSH little baby don’t say a word? Nope, we said lots of words about the 2016 home invasion thriller Hush. Part two is here and “it can come in anytime it wants. And it can get you, anytime it wants. But it’s not going to. Not until it’s time. When you wish you’re dead… that’s when it’ll come inside” your ears to cheer you up!

What’s the movie with a possibly problematic deaf heroine – shut yo mouth! I’m just talkin about Hush. Summer in the city means our episodes are coming at a sedate, congenial pace but here is a new one to slake your disgusting thirst and bitches it’s a two parter. Gabby gets into the alcoholic seltzers and we take on the issues of a nondeaf actress playing a deaf role, the best way to balance making a killer scary without fetishizing their power and the absolute vindication of watching someone conquer our collective home invasion fear. Scuttle silently back around here next week for the conclusion the whole internet will be talking about!

We bind you listeners – bind you from doing harm against yourselves by not listening to part two of our marathon The Craft break down. We determine if magic always makes you a jerk and go into a lengthy sidebar about our existential state you Queerness. Blessed friggin be!

Now is the time. This is the hour. Ours is the magic. Ours is the power- and this is the first part of our two-hour The Craft special here on Run and Stumble. It’s a marathon session as we nail down our thots and fee fees on a movie that defined the sleepovers of a generation. Also, we ARE natural witches, our power DOES come from within and what’s within Gabby is a black magnet of evil which has caused a tragic sound problem with this episode. Never fear though, we popped down to the local Wicca shop and bought a sick ass mic stand so moving forward we will only have one other episode with this fatal flaw. Our apologies and blood sacrifices are eternally yours.
