Ep 30: Sleepy Hollow (1999) - #24 Top Horror

Is this the perfect film segway into spooky season? Between the legendary tale of the Headless Horseman to Tim Burton's creative fascination with the macabre, this horror melodrama may be the easiest way to fully immerse yourself into the Halloween spirit.
In this episode, we dissect the highs and lows of Sleepy Hollow, starting with our love for the spectacular art direction and cinematography to the interesting screenplay and casting choices. All we know is, we wish we could live in the mind of Tim Burton.

Ep 29: A Quiet Place (2018) - #25 Top Horror

John Krasinski's writer/director debut might have had us all nibbling on our popcorn in the theater, afraid we might squeak and die. That's how impactful this film was in its release.
From controversial takes about getting pregnant in a post-apocalyptic world where aliens hear everything, to almost being drowned in corn, we dissect everything we both love and scratch our heads at in this horror/sci-fi.
Oh, and we introduce two brand new special guests on this episode, and we might just be in love with them, and they might just be better at this than we are.

Ep 28: Mother! (2017) - #26 Top Horror

How many times can we say the word "brutal" in one podcast episode?

Dive into "Mother!" with us and hopefully you live to tell the tale.

Ep 27: Longlegs (2024)

Ep 26: Doctor Sleep (2019) - #27 Top Horror

The controversies between The Shining and Doctor Sleep continues as we unpack the sequel to one of the most iconic horror films of all time.

Ep 25: The Birds (1963) - #28 Top Horror

WARNING: If you're deathly afraid of birds, this film may keep you up at night.

Ep 24: The Thing (1982) - #29 Top Horror

John Carpenter! The man, the myth, the legend behind some of the most iconic horrors of all-time. Does Carpenter have beef with Ridley Scott? Would this film have changed his career had it been successful in the box office? Is it a knock-off Alien? Does it have the best practical effects of any horror film to date? Why is it such a cult-classic today? 
Dive in as we unpack all of these questions and even more wild behind-the-scenes of Carpenter's 1982 alien horror, seemingly coincidentally released the same day as Scott's Blade Runner (1982).

Ep 23: Nosferatu (1922) - #30 Top Horror Film

Are we legally required to enjoy classics? Is this one of the scariest films of all time? Let's unpack the controversy between Nosferatu being a complete ripoff of Bram Stoker's, "Dracula" and single-handedly pushing the horror film genre forward in a way no one saw coming. Oh, and by the way, Nosferatu is NOT the name of the vampire in this film.
