What's happening, friends? This week on the podcast, Sarah Beth and I wanted to talk about Ryan Coogler’s vampire tale, Sinners, set in 1932 Clarksdale, Mississippi.

Blending supernatural horror with rich historical and cultural themes, Sinners tells the story of twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return to the Deep South to open a juke joint with stolen mob money, only to find themselves battling not just racism and family tensions, but a growing vampiric threat led by an Irish bloodsucker named Remmick. What unfolds is a confrontation between tradition and temptation, freedom and survival.

We break down the film scene by scene, from opening night at the juke joint to the tragic brother-versus-brother showdown, and reflect on its layered themes: music as cultural magic, vampirism as a metaphor for racial exploitation, and the emotional weight of grief, family, and sacrifice. Sinners offers a powerful reminder that immortality is hollow without humanity—and that true endurance lies in memory, music, and love.

Greetings, folks, and welcome back. This week on the podcast, we examine the shadowy legacy of one of horror’s most iconic tales, Nosferatu.

Joined by guest hosts Amy and Jenn, we explore how this vampiric nightmare has evolved across generations by comparing Werner Herzog’s somber 1979 reimagining Nosferatu the Vampyre with Robert Eggers’ highly stylized and psychologically harrowing 2024 interpretation.

We begin by tracing the origin of Count Orlok back to the 1922 silent classic and examine how its unauthorized adaptation of Dracula helped shape the language of horror cinema. From there, we break down the distinct tones, themes, and visual styles of the two remakes—Herzog’s mournful plague-soaked atmosphere versus Eggers’ surreal descent into obsession and dread.

We compare portrayals of Orlok himself, with Klaus Kinski’s tragic isolation contrasting Bill Skarsgård’s primal menace. The conversation dives deep into symbolism and German Expressionist influences that haunt both versions.

Whether you're drawn to the slow decay of the 1979 film or the claustrophobic terror of 2024, this episode dares to ask: Which Nosferatu lingers in your nightmares?

Greetings, folks! This week on the podcast, I'm joined by George Ivanoff as we take a deep dive into the apocalyptic trilogy that redefined modern horror—28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, and the freshly released 28 Years Later.

We begin by revisiting 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle’s 2002 classic that launched fast-moving infected into the genre and delivered a raw, emotionally charged vision of a crumbling society. The film's meditations on loneliness, moral decay, and the fragility of civilization still resonate, especially in today’s world.

Next, we explore 28 Weeks Later, a sequel that shifts focus from personal survival to institutional failure, showing how military efforts to contain the Rage Virus collapse under pressure, leading to brutal consequences.

Finally, we unpack 28 Years Later, a bold continuation that pushes the franchise into a post-pandemic landscape. Set decades after the original outbreak, the film centers on a new generation, examining tribalism, generational trauma, and hope amid a fractured, quarantined Britain.

What's up, you culty loons? This week on the podcast, I sit down with Scott Thomas to dissect one of horror’s most infamous remake showdowns—The Wicker Man (1973) vs. The Wicker Man (2006). We explore the allure of the 1973 folk horror classic, examining its themes of religious conflict, sexual repression, blind faith, and cultural relativism.

Then, the conversation shifts to Nicolas Cage’s wild 2006 remake—a film that’s equal parts psychological thriller, fever dream, and meme-worthy chaos. The episode dives deep into how both versions tackle community versus individualism, human sacrifice, and the symbolic power of ritual.

From the haunting folk songs of the original to the unforgettable “Not the bees!” moment, this discussion pulls apart the artistic intentions, thematic contrasts, character dynamics, and cult legacies of two very different films with the same burning finale.

Whether you're a purist or just here for the insanity, this episode offers a thoughtful journey through one of horror’s strangest cinematic rituals.

What's up, freaks? This week on the podcast, I tackle the legacy of Friday the 13th by comparing the 1980 original to its 2009 remake.

We begin with a breakdown of both films—Sean S. Cunningham’s suspenseful whodunit that introduced Pamela Voorhees as one of horror’s earliest female slashers, and Marcus Nispel’s grittier reimagining that transformed Jason into a brutal, territorial hunter. We discuss how the two films differ in structure, tone, violence, character archetypes, and especially in the portrayal of Jason—from a tragic child’s memory to a relentless predator with survivalist instincts.

Despite their differences, both versions share familiar slasher elements: the eerie setting of Camp Crystal Lake, the indulgent teen victims, and the iconic “ki ki ki, ma ma ma” score that still signals incoming doom. We explore recurring themes like grief, vengeance, trauma, and morality, while also unpacking how the franchise has evolved with the times.

Finally, we examine the franchise’s stalled cinematic future, the ongoing legal battle that’s frozen Jason’s return, and the hope offered by A24’s upcoming Crystal Lake prequel series.

What’s happening, spooky folk? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Rikki Tikki Timber to break down Jordan Peele’s psychological horror film Get Out.

We explore how Peele uses suspense, dark humor, and disturbing visuals to highlight themes of racism, identity erasure, and control. From the unforgettable “Sunken Place” scene to the coded language of liberal hypocrisy at the Armitage family’s dinner party, we dissect the film’s layered metaphors and social commentary.

We also examine key characters like Chris, Rose, and Rod, and how their roles reflect broader societal dynamics. Together, we dive into the symbolism behind the mysterious "Behold the Coagula" and the Death Cheetah vs. Matter poster in Chris's apartment—unpacking how they enrich the narrative’s deeper messages.

Plus, we discuss the film’s original, darker ending and why Jordan Peele chose to give audiences a rare moment of triumph. This episode is meant to be a tense, thoughtful, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation, but it’s Rikki and I, so we got jokes that are probably not ok.

What’s up, humans? This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Chad and Eugene to break down the 2025 sci-fi horror film Companion.

We explore the existential and ethical questions the film raises: Are sentient machines deserving of rights? What defines humanity and self-awareness? We also praise standout performances, such as Sophie Thatcher’s evolution from naive companion to self-aware survivor, and Jack Quaid’s portrayal of a manipulative partner.

We make comparisons to Ex Machina, M3GAN, and Black Mirror, and discuss the film’s major twists. Wrapping up, we, each give a Good, Bad, and Ugly, along with our final scoring of the film. We also weigh in on whether Companion adds anything new to the AI horror conversation or just reboots familiar fears with a glossy finish.
