Episode 21: Grafted (2024)
A line jump today, but a Shudder movie, so therefore no one can criticize us! This week, Katie and Cyrus chat Grafted (2024), a New Zealand body horror movie that has a lot going for it in concept and not quite as much going for it in execution. Also mentioned are our enormous chickens and their enormous poops. Fair warning.
Episode 20: 2025 In Review
We're back after a longer winters nap and ready to talk about out favorite horror films of 2025! Unsurprisingly, we had a lot of overlap. Also unsurprisingly, Katie threatens to throw down with another director in a parking lot. Things will not be changing in 2026.
Episode 19: All The Creatures Were Stirring (2018)
What is it with us and anthologies? This week, Cyrus and Katie tackle 'All The Creatures Were Stirring', a 2018 Christmas-themed horror anthology that begs the question "should some movies maybe just not get made?" and then answers itself with a resounding "yes". Other topics of discussion include our plan for the month of December, our never-ending quest to find good YouTube horror shorts, and Katie's fondest Christmas wish: to fight Stephen Cognetti in a parking lot.
Episode 18: Possession (1981)
Hello buddies, it's time for another line-skip, this time up to the P's to watch 1981 cult classic Possession starring Sam Neil and Isabella Adjani as two people who perhaps should not be married to one another, goo monster not withstanding.
Episode 17: All 10 Saw Movies!
Whoah, these aren't Shudder movies! Please enjoy this re-release of our ALL TEN SAW bonersode! Should we do another bonersode about the SAW escape room? We beefed it soooo badly.

Episode 14: The Perfect Game (Part 2)
Wellllll hello buddies welcome back to THE PERFECT GAME and this week, Katie is...sick as a dog, and oh boy does it show.

Episode 13: The Perfect Game (Part 1)
Welcome Buddies, to THE PERFECT GAME. And yeah, it's slowly killing us a little bit, but we'll do anything in pursuit of The Bit. For the first week of TPG, and yeah, it's got its own initialism, we watched the following: Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Calibre (2018), Hausu (1977), The Long Walk (2025), Child's Play (1990), Host (2020) and V/H/S/ Halloween (2025).
