Epsiode 46: Bambi - The Reckoning (2025)
Bambi has entered the public domain and the first thing we decided to do with it was make a shitty horror movie! Bambi: The Reckoning is an unpleasant little cash grab of a movie that wasn't good....but also wasn't really bad enough to be all t...
Episode 46: Baghead (2023)
Well friends, this week Cyrus and Katie watched Baghead (2023), a movie about, well, a ghost or a witch or the ghost of a witch with a bag on its head that can reconnect you with your deceased loved ones - sort of. This one really suffers from ...
Episode 45: Bad Things (2023)
This week, your intrepid horror homies dive into Bad Things (2023), a pretty obvious homage to the Shining about maybe-haunted hotels, messy queer friend groups, withholding moms, how hot Molly Ringwald is at fifty-right, and how hard it is to ...
Episode 44: The Baby In The Basket (2025)
Shudder really is the gift that keeps on giving, and this week it gave us the brainchild of Nathan Shepka, The Baby in the Basket (2025), a movie that is trying really really hard to be a love letter to the tradition of gothic horror and nunspl...
Episode 43: Speak No Evil (2022)
This week, we're jumping the line to Speak No Evil, a Dutch/Danish co-production and SHUDDER original released in 2022. We've previously watched the Blumhouse remake of this film, released in 2024, and wanted to check out the much-more-brutal o...
Episode 42: Bad Moon (1996)
Bad Moon is what happens when you cross a Hallmark movie from the POV of a dog with a schlocky werewolf movie with lots of nudity and a weirdly long sex scene---and yet, as good as that sounds, Katie and Cyrus were less than impressed. It's all...
Episode 41: From Dusk Till Dawn BIRTHDAY SPECIAL!!!
In celebration of THE ORIGIN OF EVIL (Katie's birthday), we're talking about one of Katie's favorite movies: From Dusk Till Dawn! We talk about the big twist, the joys of practical effects, and the fact that Sex Machine is CLEARLY a trans man. ...
Episode 40: Bad Girl Boogey (2022)
It's always a bummer when a movie that bills itself as a queer and transgender film is not nearly as good as the reviews might lead you to believe—especially when it was also directed by an 18-year-old. Luckily Cyrus is trans and Katie h...
Epsiode 39: The Babadook (2014)
For your listening pleasure today we have The Babadook (2014), a highly regarded Australian horror film that asks the hard questions like: Is unexamined grief likely to turn us into a monster even those closest to us don't recognize? Or are chi...
Episode 38: Baby Blood (1990)
Starting of the B's strong with french body horror film Baby Blood (1990), a gory pregnancy horror film that has titties covered in blood AND strong feminist themes! It kind of whips. This movie has everything: a squid driving a bus, an explodi...
Episode 37: The End of the A's!
We did it! We finished the A's! This week, Cyrus and Katie sit down to wrap up the first letter of Shudder's alphabet - we BASH the entire category, remark upon our highs and lows (here's lookin' at you, 825 Forest Road), and look forward to a ...
Episode 36: Azrael (2024)
This week, Cyrus and Katie cover Azrael (2024), a movie we've seen before and didn't really care for, but we won't let that stop us from shitting all over it for twenty minutes of our precious lives for your listening enjoyment. Azrael is a mov...
Episode 35: Obsession (2026)
This week, Cyrus and Katie take a brief diversion from Shudder movies to go see Obsession (2026), which is just so so so so good. Please go see it. A really well done and remarkably written/acted take on the "careful what you wish for tro...
Episode 34: The Autopsy of Jane Doe
In this episode, we watch The Autopsy of Jane Doe, where the main antagonist is a motionless corpse and in which Bryan Cranston DOES NOT STAR, but there is an avant-garde version of this movie where Walter White suddenly starts having a very ba...
Episode 33: Attachment (2022)
This week, Cyrus and Katie tackle Attachment (2022), a Danish/Jewish/queer horror/romance (that's a lot of slashes) that begs the question: can a mother be too overprotective if her child is possessed by an evil spirit? Our sources say yes, but...
Episode 32: 47 Meters Down - Uncaged (2019)
Heeeeeeeello buddies and welcome to SHARK WEEK - no, wait, shark DAY, the day we watch a really bad shark movie and complain about it. 47 Meters Down: Uncaged asks the question "what if a bunch of scantily clad teenagers were in a submerged May...
Episode 31: ATM (2012)
You know what's scary? BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG winter coat. This week Cyrus and Katie watched ATM, a movie about three stockbrokers who get trapped inside a parking lot ATM by a murderer in a parka. This movie has a 12% on Rotten Tomatoes, but Cyrus ...
Episode 30: An American Werewolf in London (1981)
This week, Cyrus and Katie cover classic werewolf horror/comedy, An American Werewolf in London (1981)! If you're even tangentially into horror, you've probably heard of this one, and for good reason - it's got dong, nazis, body horror, annoyed...
Episode 29: Ash (2025)
This week, we dig into Ash, a sci-fi horror movie that...tried its best? A movie that is aesthetically pleasing, does some cool stuff with goo, but ultimately suffers from a potent mixture of cliches and the male gaze. Also discussed are how m...
Episode 28: Caveat (2020)
Line jump! We couldn't wait to get to the C's before checking out Caveat. This movie was a fascinating puzzle box that doesn't spoon-feed you the answers, and we left it feeling befuddled in the best way possible--but the more we've thought abo...
Episode 27: Arcadian (2024)
What happens when you mix a tarantula, a camel, and a starfish with Hungry Hungry Hippos, and then throw it at Nicolas Cage? You get Arcadian, the movie we watched this week! Don't get too excited, it also has annoying teen drama. But seriously...
Episode 26: Together (2025)
Hello friends! Katie has been sick as a dog for a li'l bit so today we present you with Together, a non-Shudder movie released last year that we both really, really liked! Turns out making movies about marriage *with* your spouse leads to chemi...
Episode 25: Anything for Jackson (2020)
