In the episode, we head to Chile with the unforgettable film by Lucio Rojas, Trauma (2017). A film inspired by the true events of the 17 year dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, its' brutal realism gives us an unflinching glimpse into the world of his regime and the intergenerational trauma that follows. Trauma keeps to its word - you will never be the same once witnessing it for the first time.

In this episode, we head to Mexico with “Mexico’s most violent film”, Atroz (2018) by Lex Ortega. Taking social and political commentary to dark and shocking places, Atroz doesn’t pull any punches - it’s provocative and memorable. It challenges everything you thought you knew and more. Taking inspiration from Ruggero Deodato, renowned filmmaker behind Cannibal Holocaust (and is an associate producer), Ortega’s first feature is an endurance test worth taking.

My guest for this episode is Mikey Peralta Jr! Mikey is a Mexican-American creator who focuses on Latin American cinema with a social justice lens. He has a monthly column with Dread Central called Horror en Español. He also releases daily content on Tik Tok and Instagram about the horror genre and Latin culture.

He also wrote a fantastic article on Atroz in 2022 entitled: How Machismo Breeds Monstrosity in Mexico’s Most Violent Film: https://www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/427615/atroz-how-machismo-breeds-monstrosity-in-mexicos-most-violent-film-horror-en-espanol/

In this episode of SPINSTERS CHOICE, one of us selects a movie we're passionate about. This time, it's Jessica's turn, and naturally, she is taking us back to Japan. Japanese horror, especially J-Horror, is captivating, and combine it with found footage, and you have a Koji Shiraishi film—the director we have decided to spotlight for this Spinster’s Choice. We'll be focusing on two lesser-known films, Occult (2009) and A Record of Sweet Murder (2014). We'll revisit the essence of Japanese horror and the J-horror movement, discuss Koji Shiraishi’s influence and impact on the genre, and explore why Japan has so many cults.

Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…

It’s time for season one to die. Necrophilia is dead, buried, and no one has been left wanting. From the concept of the taboo, to reflections of the season past, this episode should satisfy your lust for the macabre. Remember, everyone benefits from rational educational exposure to taboo topics, and corpse fucking has been dissected to death.

This is my Epitaph….

In this episode, we are returning to our beloved Weird Girl to discuss the recently released whimsical necro rom-com LISA FRANKENSTEIN from 2024. We will revisit who the Weird Girl is, discuss the morbidity of young girls (and ourselves), and come to a topic that we find ourselves never escaping… NECROPHILIA.

Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…

This month is the season finale! And I have chosen the perfect film and guest to end on. I will be dissecting THE YEARNING OF MARIA D (2018) from the elusive underground filmmaker Marian Dora. The final movie on necrophilia is a powerhouse of the extreme, and I can’t wait to share it with you. We will be tackling animal death on screen, arthouse extreme, and of course, the necrophilia of it all.

My guest for this episode is the co-host of my other show, I SPIT ON YOUR PODCAST, and a long-time friend, Jessica! Jess is a Doom Metal Witch who enjoys subversive cinema, exploring her chaotic taste in music, and being the goth Weird Girl. She has written for various horror outlets such as Grim Magazine, Horror Homeroom, and Last Girls Club. And when she is not watching Japanese horror movies, she is watching anime, playing video games, and hanging out with her cats.
