Prep your 80s New Wave acapella and your dead girl tropes because we're talking Jennifer Reeder's Knives and Skin (2019). Helping us search for the body is The Mary Sue's Princess Weekes, who offers invaluable insight into the costuming of WOC in this female-centric text. This is an unconventional episode for an unconventional film, which is much more of a vibe than a straightforward murder mystery. Plus: why Mrs. Harper is so empathetic, messy clown sex, Reeder's interest in female agency, wet ass pussy papers, admiring a film even if you struggle with it, and smelling teen boys' t-shirts.

In honor of the 10th anniversary expanded edition of her iconic text House of Psychotic Women, we sat down with author Kier-La Janisse (also the award-winning documentary filmmaker of Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror). Our connection was shaky (hence some spotty audio), but we asked Kier-La about the reception (then and now) of the book, which films readers should prioritize and why we're unlikely to see a HoPW documentary series in the future.

We're back with S02E04 of Chucky, an episode that sees the return of Glen and Glenda in a "very special episode" that's sure to please anyone who's a fan of Seed of Chucky. We've got a Clue-themed narrative, a sitcom-y wraparound story, and a Bound reunion! It's the most meta that Chucky has ever been, for better and for worse. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Happy Halloween, everyone! Load up your leopard-print convertible because we're heading to the good, decent town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to appraise Aunt Morgana's house, book and dog in 1988's tit-filled camp classic Elvira: Mistress of the Dark! Joining us for this delightful conversation is two-time RuPaul's Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon! Join us as we give an Elvira primer before discussing the origins of Mistress of the Dark and diving into its botched release that all but assured we'd never get an Elvira sitcom (where the fuck was Fox???). But hey, at least she's not just a great set of boobs. She's also an incredible pair of legs! Plus, evil Russian wizards, magical rings, demonic dogs, babies born with makeup, penis snakes and the joys of a queer, feminist icon who owns her sexuality. Déjà Vu! Questions? Comments? Snark?

We're back with the kids for S02E03 as the Trevor problem is solved, Lexy's addiction continues, Nadine becomes a proper character, Chucky undergoes aversion therapy, and Hulk Chucky is introduced.

We're celebrating episode 200 with a five star film: Karyn Kusama's masterful The Invitation (2015). Every aspect of this film is sheer perfection (direction, editing, score, lighting, screenplay and acting). We're obsessed with the layered and nuanced depiction of grief, Will as an unreliable protagonist, terrifying character actor John Carroll Lynch and the glorious house porn. Plus: speculation about the after life, why Kira wins Best Girlfriend, good queer representation, as well as blow and blowjobs. Oh, and Trace ruins the film with a Claire tidbit. It's a masterclass!
