The Spooky Succubus-Cast

::content warning:: this episode contains descriptions of sexual assault.

This week (slightly tardy - our bad!) we are chatting about problematic instant classic It Follows! We talk about the pervasiveness of rape culture and other stuff I can’t remember but I’m sure it’s very cogent.

This week Abby and Rebecca randomly selected a 1988 softly lit classic, The Unholy! A young hot priest is the chosen one and must use his Godly powers to fight a sexy nipple demon. We go on a tangent about 90s sitcoms, the innocence of sex clubs, unsettling body horror, and so much more!

The year is 2000 but we’re in the distant future baby! For Abby’s birthday, we’re talking about Vin Diesel’s break-out role as Richard B. Riddick who has a shine-job and a bad attitude. There are hammerhead lizards, sweaty tank tops, and a CANYON! Even on a three sunned planet Islamophobia, misogyny, and homophobia abound!

This week Abby and Rebecca discuss Unfriended, a found footage-esque horror film from the 2010s. We have unlikeable characters, an interesting setting, and cyberbullying. Are you still haunted by your high school bullies, or their ghosts? Cause we are!

Who else is ready to start off 2022 feeling MISERABLE (get it)? Somehow we’ve become a Stephen King adaptation podcast despite having no love for the narcissistic man-child, and this week we’re chatting about Misery. Join us to dissect why Poopy Paul Sheldon is the real asshole in this flick and how hard Kathy Bates went.

Our annual Christmas tradition of covering an iteration of Black Christmas continues and this time it’s……sad. Giant asshole Glen Morgan has stripped away everything good about Black Christmas and left us with a dubious brother-sister killing team in matching Gap holiday pajamas.

This week, we’re discussing an obscure and rarely talked-about film: Kubrick’s The Shining! This movie is a masterpiece, but obviously it’s racist and exploitative af. We also chat about the “documentary” about the making of the flick, Room 237. Spoiler alert: listening to a circle jerk of a bunch of Kubrick sycophants leaves us feeling less than shiny.

What’s a horror movie but also a creature feature but also Christmas-y? Abby and Rebecca talk cute Mogwai, racist caricatures, anti-capitalism and its need for intersectionality, and so much more in this week’s episode on Gremlins!

If you’re wondering if we forgot to post this week’s episode, we sure did! Life comes at you fast, but the amount of men’s feet in Guillermo del Toro’s “Cronos” came at us faster. The word for this NAFTA-era Mexican vampire movie is “visceral” and we’re talking about all the weird details.

This week, Abby learns the painful lesson that not all childhood favorites should be resurrected. We’re talking about Van Helsing, and there is misogyny, ableism, and weird American exceptionalism (along with a lot of wild CGI). Plus, we do some confusing accents!
