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 makes a passionate case for why it should maybe have more like, a 25%.

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 ghosts, real live wolves, and a man with the longest and most beautiful eyelashes we've ever seen.

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 much we want there to be more ugly and unlikeable women in horror movies, how hard it is to copy The Thing's homework successfully, and bisexual lighting.

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 about it afterward, the more the movie starts to open itself up. It was also written and directed by Damian McCarthy, who also wrote/directed Oddity! the man loves a weird prop and we love that for him.

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, the aliens were pretty cool.

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 chemistry, nuance, and penis de-gloving. We were super into it.

Did you know they got good movies on Shudder? I sure didn't! This week, Cyrus and Katie tackle Anything For Jackson (2020), a film about parenting, grandparenting, satanism, and dental hygiene. Discussion topics include our adolescent chickens, what a satanist is supposed to look like, and our overall enjoyment of what was just a really good movie.

Hello buddies, be careful listening to this episode, for this is Shudder Buddies: the Deadliest Podcast Ever Made! All who listen to it perish!!!! This week we cover mockumentary Antrum (2018), which paints itself as a documentary about a cursed or possessed film. It's...sort of successful?

This week, Cyrus and Katie cover The Angry Black Girl and her Monster (2023), a retelling of Mary Shelleys classic horror novel 'Frankenstein' through a modern urban lens! This film asks a lot of difficult questions, revels in a little bit of gore, and finally lets us in on what happens when a man and a machete love each other very much. Also discussed are our scaredy-cat chickens, disappointment with GDT's 2025 Frankenstein, and valid hatred of Tom Cruise.

It's a real brutal one this week, buddies! We watched Amigo, a 2019 Spanish film starring Javier Botet and David Pareja, and BOY HOWDY was it good. And devastating. But so good. Also, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Cyrus published some erotica! And that's about the only play that the H in our BASH scale gets this episode.
