Two Chicks and a Horror Flick

This week, we're diving into the Shudder original Nightborn! Starring Seidi Haarla and Rupert Grint as new parents who relocate to a decaying home deep in the Finnish forest, the film digs into the unraveling of new motherhood and postpartum depression, layered with Finnish folklore and body horror. Miriam also talks about her recent breast cancer diagnosis and how important it is to do self exams and go to the doctor if you suspect anything. ♥️

Tangents include: Project Runway, getting a real one-wish willow, and how Cat's Eye traumatized Miriam about smoking.

Two chicks, one very special guest, and a whole lot of conversation! This week we're digging into Obsession, the Curry Barker horror flick that went from a YouTube sketch channel to the highest-grossing horror movie of 2026. We're joined by Angelo—longtime fan of the pod, member of our horror community, and (fun fact) the photographer at Tawny's wedding!—to talk the One Wish Willow, Inde Navarrette's genuinely unhinged performance, and why "getting everything you ever wanted" might be the scariest sentence in the English language.

Grab your snacks, lock the door, and never make a wish you can't take back. 🔮

Perfect for fans of: psychological horror, horror-comedy, cursed object movies, and anyone who's ever had a crush go horribly, horribly wrong.

Be sure to check out Angelo's beautiful photography @afspacebar 

Director: Curry Barker

Tawny: 4.5/5

Miriam: 5/5

Angelo: 5/5

Ireland. A haunted inn. A witch with a grudge. And one very unlucky writer who should have known better.

This week, we are heading across the pond for another Damian McCarthy masterpiece, Hokum — the latest from the Irish filmmaker who gave us Caveat and Oddity and has apparently made it his personal mission to make sure we never sleep again. Adam Scott stars as Ohm Bauman, an author who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes and ends up with way more than he bargained for. Because of course he does.

We're breaking down the atmosphere, the folklore, the scares — and yes, we have thoughts. McCarthy's slow-burn style is either your love language or your nightmare (or both), and we are absolutely here for it.

Director: Damian McCarthy

In this follow-up Oscars episode, we dive into Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro’s long-standing passion project that made its mark at the Academy Awards. The film won three Oscars for its stunning craftsmanship, winning in Makeup & Hairstyling, Production Design, and Costume Design. The film stands as a celebration of hands-on craftsmanship, offering a striking counterpoint to the rapid rise of AI. (Full disclosure: I used ChatGPT to help me write these show notes. I'm sorry Mr. Del Toro!)
Tangents include: Trust me: The False Prophet, Mary Shelley, and the year without a summer.

We have a special Oscars episode for you this week with Bugonia which was nominated for 4 categories, but won none. Bugonia is a remake of a 2003 Southern Koren film called Save the Green Planet! directed by Jang Joon-hwan. We get into the differences between the original and this adaptation, the themes, and, of course, the divisive ending. Tangents include: the incredible horror representation at the 2025 Academy Awards, if Hamnet is the new Shakespeare in Love, and how everything is plastic.

This week on Two Chicks and a Horror Flick, we’re heading back to the iconic 80s vampire classic — The Lost Boys.

Joining us are our new horror BFFs Ian and Evan from The Kilt and The Redneck Reviews, and we had an absolute blast revisiting this cult favorite.

Motorcycles.
Mullets.
Leather jackets.
And a whole lot of vampires.

The Lost Boys gave us big-time nostalgia vibes. From the soundtrack to the style, this 80s vampire classic still oozes cool — but does it hold up today?

Grab your popcorn, turn the volume up, and join us as we sink our teeth into this legendary horror film.

The Lost Boys (1987)

Director: Joel Schumacher

Evan's rating: 4/5

This week on Two Chicks and a Horror Flick, we’re diving into one of the strangest, most bizarre films we’ve ever covered… Tusk.

And we couldn’t think of better people to get weird with than our longtime friends Marc and Brooke from A Podcast on Elm Street. We’ve been podcast friends for years, so this episode felt like hanging out and talking horror with old friends — just with a lot more walrus discussion than usual.

Kevin Smith takes body horror in a direction absolutely no one expected…

A missing podcaster.
A mysterious recluse.
And a transformation so disturbing you won’t be able to look away.

Is Tusk brilliant horror… or completely unhinged madness?

Honestly… we’re still deciding.

Press play and join the conversation.

Tusk (2014)

Director: Kevin Smith

Tawny's birthday pick was (unfortunately) Return to Silent Hill which is a movie adaptation of the game Silent Hill 2. We talk a lot about what was going on in the movie since the story became incomprehensible, but also compared it to the video game plot it was based on. Movie and game spoilers ahead! Tangents include: sleep studies and the wisdom of Ted Lasso.

Hold onto your Eggos, horror babes—we are diving into the Stranger Things Season 5 series finale! After years of waiting, we're finally saying goodbye to Hawkins, and trust us, this emotional rollercoaster hits different. We're breaking down that epic showdown, the gut-wrenching character moments that had us sobbing, and whether the Duffer Brothers stuck the landing after nine years of Upside Down chaos.

From nostalgic callbacks to heart-stopping scares, we're talking about what worked, what didn't, and how this finale measures up against the entire series. Did our favorite characters get the endings they deserved? Was the final battle worth the wait? And most importantly—are we okay? (Spoiler: we're not.)

Grab your flashlights and your tissues because this one's a big one. Stranger things have happened... but not many finales hit like this.

For our first birthday month pick Miriam chose The Bone Temple! Howzat?!

We have both been eagerly awaiting this follow up to 28 Years Later to see WTF was going on and this film did not disappoint. Picking up right where the last movie left off, we're thrown in with Sir Jimmy Crystal & The Finger Gang. We get into some of the themes like humanity, faith, and illness. Tangents include: Miriam's new puppy.
