What Doesn't Kill Us

In this episode we tackle Pascal Laughier's notoriously brutal entry into the New French Extremity movement from 2008, Martyrs: "A young woman's quest for revenge against the people who kidnapped and tormented her as a child leads her and a friend on a terrifying journey into a living hell." Not everyone was so impressed! Our conversation gets more than a little crazed. Which might match the film quite well . . . Email us at [email protected]. Ken Kawamura provided the music.

Monica binge watches Fuller House, and suddenly everything good about her childhood goes up in flames . . . More music by Mr. Kawamura.

On this episode, four of us recommend 2 films each (with one DO NOT WATCH warning)--and of course, because it's us, we mention about 45 other films throughout. Recommendations include Bug, Inside, Scream Blacula Scream, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Occulus, Pet Sematary, What We Do in the Shadows---and a discussion on the book and film adaptations of Let the Right One In. We'll keep the DO NOT WATCH warning a surprise, but we (except for Monica) apologize in advance to Paz de la Huerta. Email us at [email protected]. Music by Kenneth Kawamura.

A frankenstein mask? A plastic deformed baby? The paintings on Night Gallery? TV ads for Suspiria? The dinner scene in Alien? Styrofoam tombstones in the backyard? All of this and more! Music by Ken Kawamura. Email us at [email protected]! Now!

In this episode we take the plunge into extreme Korean thrillers with Jee-woon Kim's incredibly violent I Saw the Devil from 2010: "A secret agent exacts revenge on a serial killer through a series of captures and releases." Music by Ken Kawamura. Email us at [email protected]!

On this episode we find out what doesn't scare Krystal (sharks, serial killers), what does (demons, Bette Davis), and why she'll never watch Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire starring Gabourey Sidibe. But really, who would? Music by Ken Kawamura. Email us at [email protected] . . . please!

Should What Doesn't Kill Us discuss comics and superheroes, or would all hell break loose? We give it a try here, looking at the intersection of horror, comics, film and TV. Big Bonus: Brady tells us all about his favorite gay superheroes! Email us at [email protected]

On this episode of WWBW we talk about The Brood, The Watcher in the Woods, The Duke of Burgundy and Opera . . . but also chat about Cronenberg and Crash and James Spader, Disney and horror, Argento and Giallo, and other fascinating things . . . like how Brady defeated a killer crow in Seattle!

In this episode, tensions are high when discussing Guillermo Del Toro's latest Gothic romance from last year, Crimson Peak: "In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds - and remembers." Email us at [email protected]
