Some Like It Scary

It's House of Sprouse week! First up is Lisa Frankenstein, featuring Cole Sprouse. Let's get in the tanning bed and go build our perfect boyfriend for Diablo Cody's return to horror... but watch out for the bugs. We LOVED this movie and had such an electric time chatting about the Frankenstein adaptation for the girlies!

Continuing our Big Stalker Energy week, we're discussing 90's romcom While You Were Sleeping. We chat about how close this movie is to a horror movie, share our amazement that this movie was even made, and learn about the weird history of how it came to be! Let's meet at the train station -- but watch out for the tracks (and stalkers). Follow us on instagram at @somelikeitscarypod <3

Note: Starting this week, we are doing two episodes a week! We will still have a weekly theme, but our horror and romcom picks will have separate episodes. Horror episodes drop on Tuesdays and romcom episodes drop on Thursdays. You don't have to listen to part 1 to listen to part 2 and vice versa!

It's Big Stalker Energy week!! For our horror pick, we decided to do BOTH Creep and Creep 2 - they're best as one story anyway. Join us as Olivia cringes and Kelly gets a little too excited over Mark Duplass' performance as a wolf-obsessed creep. Grab your wolf mask, put on your custom-made locket, and let's get weird. <3

NOTE: Starting this week, we're doing two episodes per week - a horror episode and romcom episode, instead of them being in the same episode. Horror episodes will be released Tuesdays and the romcom episodes will be released Thursdays. Both episodes will be part of the same theme! You don't have to listen to pt. 1 to listen to pt. 2. <3

It's episode 10! This week we're asking, why are you so obsessed with me? We're going to Texas to make collages with Brendan Frasier for Still Breathing (1997), a lesser-known romantic comedy (maybe?) that neither of us had seen. Then we're going backpacking with Allison Williams and Logan Browning for the erotic horror movie The Perfection (2018). Both get horny, but only one is a movie Kelly would recommend for a date night. Grab your scissors and meat cleavers and let's get OBSESSED. Follow us on instagram at @somelikeitscarypod <3

Do you have a sister? Does she have kids? Well, what if you suddenly had to care for your sister's kids after her untimely death? Both of this week's films deal with exactly that -- though with VERY different outcomes. We're going to play with new toys and become mothers this week with the classic romcom Raising Helen (2004) and the campy horror sensation M3GAN (2022). Bring your pet turtle, but not your neighbor's dog!

We're going for a drive and getting wild on a rollercoaster this week with baby Reese Witherspoon! We rewatched erotic thriller Fear and gave the roadtrip romcom Overnight Delivery a shot!

This week we answer the question "is sex dangerous?" Whether you're trying to break old patterns or literally escape a monster, to fuck or not to fuck is the question. We try not to have sex while discussing Sleeping with Other People and contemplate how to fuck ourselves to safety with It Follows.

In this week's episode of Some Like It Scary, we put on tin foil hats and hope that Mel Sugartits Gibson doesn't read our thoughts. We chat about What Women Want, a film full of tropes and hot women, and Signs, Kelly's favorite M. Night Shyamalan movie. Do you think there's such thing as a coincidence? And was there really a time when movies wanted us to think Mel Gibson was hot?

This week is all about girls and women talking.... to each other! We're going on adventures, traveling to new places, and wearing matching outfits! We're having a double feature week and chatting about Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1 & 2 and The Descent 1 & 2. Grab your favorite jeans and an ice axe!

We go on a life-changing journey together in episode 4 of Some Like It Scary with Austenland (2013) and Midsommar (2019). Olivia takes us to England to find our own Mr. Darcy and Kelly invites us to a barbeque in Sweden. Join us so that you too can feel held.

Notes:

1. After this episode was recorded, we changed our podcast name to Some Like It Scary (original name is already in use) so this is the last episode that we introduce with the old name.
2. I mention a video that I watched of Ari Aster providing commentary over the Midsommar trailer but I now cannot find it (google is bullying me). I'm sure it exists out there somewhere, so if you come across it send it to us and we'll link it.
