Content warning: brief discussions of child abuse and sexual violence

Now you know what we are, now you know what YOU are! Laney and Carson travel to the Murder Capital of the World for this episode on Lost Boys! In this episode, we discuss queer vampires, the Satanic Panic, and a pure Freudian slip about one of Laney’s favorite K-pop groups. We dissect film through the queer lens, theory of disidentification (José Esteban Muñoz 1999), and the many versions of vampire metaphors used in media. Join us, drink some of this, be one of us!

Content warning: religious trauma, abuse

Carson and Laney go back to the 1600’s for this episode about The VVitch.

Robert Eggers takes us on a whirlwind of religious zealotry, scary jackrabbits and goats, and the kind of witchcraft that makes you go “eugh.” We chat about Robert Eggers like we know him personally and how that relates to auteur theory. Join us as we sign our names in the big spooky book and discuss the VVitch.

Content warning: there are discussion of bullying, menstruation, religious trauma, and sexual assault in this episode. Discussion of sexual assault starts at 1:03:43 and ends at 1:06:20. Listen with care.

They’re all going to laugh at you! Laney and Carson are going back to high school to talk about Carrie. An adaptation of Stephen King’s first novel turned into a classic horror movie, Brian De Palma sure did a great job of showing us what grown men think it feels like being a bullied high school girl. As we get ready for prom, we discuss things like the male gaze in film, the representation of bullying in media, and blood, blood, and more blood! Get your dirty pillows ready and go up in flames with us!
