Scaredy Chat episodes

  • Jon Laster Is Afraid of Heights

    As a kid, comedian Jon Laster trembled in fear about the Dark, shadows and of course the fighting dog that escaped and nearly killed him. And nothing prepared him for the horror of having his house burned down as an adult. But he's figured out how to battle the nightmares that still plague him. As he tells Monica and Kaitlin, just watch scary movies during the daytime (duh). Oh, and try to pretend ghosts aren't real. If you liked Laster on his memorable "2 Dope Queens" episode, well, you'll love him on "Scaredy Chat"

  • Phile Nobile Is Afraid of Nothing

    What better way to kick off Spooky Season than to spend time with celebrated Fangoria editor Phil Nobile, who dispels the myth that if you do in your dreams you die in real life. What? And how 30-second PSAs can be scarier than any horror movie, how Swedish death cleaners are the real deal, and he gives Monica and Kaitlin a great idea for their next movie - Shovel Buddies (don't ask).

  • Benjamin Norris is Afraid of Earthquakes

    We're bringing back the very first interview we did for Scaredy Chat with actor and comedian Ben Norris. It was just so great and we were worried some of you may have missed it. And some of you may just want to listen again. But first, Monica and Kaitlin will warm up the scare with a chat about how theme parks continue to haunt them....

  • Katie Marovitch Is Afraid of Basements

    The actress and writer Katie Marovitch grew up just above her biggest fear - the basement! Yipes. In this episode, Marovitch, who calls herself "a little creep," tells Monica and Kaitlin why bad horror movies are usually the best of all, and why the right amount of movie gore can be part of a healthy movie diet. But why should we believe someone who also calls herself "a huge liar?"

About Scaredy Chat

From the publisher's feed

Are you afraid of the dark? Did Mars Attacks give you night terrors? Are you afraid of getting into your car alone at night? Or having to plan a perfect work party for 300 people with your job on the line? No one is perfect, well maybe Beyonce. But even as adults there is still plenty to be afraid of, from the rational to the irrational. Some of our fears stem from our childhood, and some of them we pick up along the way. Let Monica Suriyage (VICE, Refinery29, E! News) and Kaitlin Reilly (Bustle, Refinery29, The Dipp) be your sympathetic guides to exploring the fears that won’t seem to vacate your head. Part best friend therapist, part lovers of fear itself, these two will probe deep into the minds of their guests to unearth the roots of the founded and unfounded fears that we hold so close.
