The following is not a normal podcast. There's no discussion of movies, television or games, there's no pithy clips pulled to highlight our points. It's a simple conversation between four friends about a truly heinous situation that we've found ourselves having to deal with this week and as such it is a bit disorganized and emotionally raw.

This podcast was recorded to directly address the current situation and controversy surrounding the Alamo Drafthouse, Tim League, Devin Faraci and Fantastic Fest.

We feel that this is one of the most important tests facing our film geek community right now and we would be remiss if we didn't address it as critics, as fans and as feminists. But we understand that it's not what we normally talk about and as such you may feel like you want to skip it.

We hope you don't.

This is an important and ongoing conversation about our culture and the way its evolved and while this is by no means a final statement, it is a starting point for us, if not all of you, going into Fantastic Fest.

While we do not talk about the specifics of the allegations leveled at Devin we understand that this entire conversation regarding the fallout and League's response to his critics may be triggering for some so please take care of yourself.

Huge thanks to Jen Blair (@fakejenblair) and Rafael Ruiz (@RafAntonioRuiz) for joining us today and thanks for listening.

What movies do the Women In Caskets disagree on? What do they watch on TV when not covering horror? What horror movie(s) do they think should be remade?

These are a few of the questions that have been asked along the way and Dawn and Jen think it's high time they do something about that. So tune in, won't you, as they take a little snack break from the norm and answer your questions as well as cover a few odd ends that haven't made it into full podcasts yet.

Think of it as that last run to the concession stand before the movie starts.

Love. War. Guilt. Hatred. Fear. Vengeance. Technology.

Since 2011, Black Mirror has been, in our humble opinion, the pinnacle of using technology, science fiction, and horror to delve deep into what makes humanity tick and how the human condition can be so easily twisted and manipulated. So obviously, we're gonna gush all over it in a super-sized episode!

Join Jen and Dawn as they take a look at the reflections of five of Black Mirror's best episodes: Fifteen Million Credits, White Bear, White Christmas, San Junipero and Men Against Fire.

The marine biology is all wrong, the dolphins are smarter than the humans, and the control room is from an entirely different movie, but all of that pales in comparison to awful, terrible, and absolute BOREDOM experienced by Jen and Dawn as they're forced to watch Jaws 3D (in 2D).

Spoilers: It's actually Jurassic Park at Sea World. No really. It totally is.

The Women In Caskets would like to extend the most heartfelt of thanks to Preston, who paid for this episode by donating to our Patreon. Preston, we never would have done this without you. Seriously, we never would have seen this if you hadn't forced our hand.

Recorded Live at ArmadilloCon in Austin, TX!

The Women in Caskets try to make sense of all those horror movies featuring, "Based on a True Story," in their title cards. From films that bear only a passing semblance to their source to somewhat faithful adaptations, serial killers to killer animals, and the truly gutsy ones that just made it all up and pretended it was real, it's a master list of the real-life macabre.

The full list of films mentioned and their trailers can be found in our episode playlist on YouTube HERE.

Stuff You Missed In History Class did an episode on two of the killers mentioned (and probably more): Mary Ann Cotton and Sawney Beane. Check them out!

And one correction: Dawn mis-identified the plaintiff in the Warren litigation. The Warrens didn't bring the lawsuit, Gerald Brittle, author of a book on the Warrens, did, claiming that the Warrens gave him exclusive rights to their stories and all derivative works coming out of them. Warner Bros. et al claim the movies are based on historical records and therefore available for free use. Brittle countered that the Warrens made it all up, making the works fiction and therefore - you know what, it's kinda hysterical to read it all, look it up sometime.

Jen and Dawn sink their teeth into two movies that wowed them at Fantastic Fest 2016: Raw and The Eyes of My Mother. Both feature women struggling with their internal demons, dysfunctional families, and what it means to be whole and they do it by focusing wholly on the women at the center of their macabre tales. Haunting and visceral, together they are an interesting mix of stress, tension and dread while tackling very different problems: internal and external.

Before Dawn and Jen take a close look at two films featuring women who are not, as they say, all together sane, they wanted to to take a broader look at the way "crazy" women have been portrayed in horror cinema and television.

In the second of a two-part series, your hosts talk about what hysteria is historically and start to break down the different kinds of crazy ladies horror has to offer: the obsessions, the thirst for vengeance and those crazy, crazy Mommies of the silver screen.

You may want to listen to Part One first.

Below is a full list of the movies mentioned, including links to where they have been previously discussed in other episodes.
