Line jump! We couldn't wait to get to the C's before checking out Caveat. This movie was a fascinating puzzle box that doesn't spoon-feed you the answers, and we left it feeling befuddled in the best way possible--but the more we've thought about it afterward, the more the movie starts to open itself up. It was also written and directed by Damian McCarthy, who also wrote/directed Oddity! the man loves a weird prop and we love that for him.

What happens when you mix a tarantula, a camel, and a starfish with Hungry Hungry Hippos, and then throw it at Nicolas Cage? You get Arcadian, the movie we watched this week! Don't get too excited, it also has annoying teen drama. But seriously, the aliens were pretty cool.

Hello friends! Katie has been sick as a dog for a li'l bit so today we present you with Together, a non-Shudder movie released last year that we both really, really liked! Turns out making movies about marriage *with* your spouse leads to chemistry, nuance, and penis de-gloving. We were super into it.

Did you know they got good movies on Shudder? I sure didn't! This week, Cyrus and Katie tackle Anything For Jackson (2020), a film about parenting, grandparenting, satanism, and dental hygiene. Discussion topics include our adolescent chickens, what a satanist is supposed to look like, and our overall enjoyment of what was just a really good movie.

Hello buddies, be careful listening to this episode, for this is Shudder Buddies: the Deadliest Podcast Ever Made! All who listen to it perish!!!! This week we cover mockumentary Antrum (2018), which paints itself as a documentary about a cursed or possessed film. It's...sort of successful?

This week, Cyrus and Katie cover The Angry Black Girl and her Monster (2023), a retelling of Mary Shelleys classic horror novel 'Frankenstein' through a modern urban lens! This film asks a lot of difficult questions, revels in a little bit of gore, and finally lets us in on what happens when a man and a machete love each other very much. Also discussed are our scaredy-cat chickens, disappointment with GDT's 2025 Frankenstein, and valid hatred of Tom Cruise.

It's a real brutal one this week, buddies! We watched Amigo, a 2019 Spanish film starring Javier Botet and David Pareja, and BOY HOWDY was it good. And devastating. But so good. Also, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Cyrus published some erotica! And that's about the only play that the H in our BASH scale gets this episode.

A line jump today, but a Shudder movie, so therefore no one can criticize us! This week, Katie and Cyrus chat Grafted (2024), a New Zealand body horror movie that has a lot going for it in concept and not quite as much going for it in execution. Also mentioned are our enormous chickens and their enormous poops. Fair warning.

We're back after a longer winters nap and ready to talk about out favorite horror films of 2025! Unsurprisingly, we had a lot of overlap. Also unsurprisingly, Katie threatens to throw down with another director in a parking lot. Things will not be changing in 2026.

What is it with us and anthologies? This week, Cyrus and Katie tackle 'All The Creatures Were Stirring', a 2018 Christmas-themed horror anthology that begs the question "should some movies maybe just not get made?" and then answers itself with a resounding "yes". Other topics of discussion include our plan for the month of December, our never-ending quest to find good YouTube horror shorts, and Katie's fondest Christmas wish: to fight Stephen Cognetti in a parking lot.
