Fill that Super Soaker with holy water get ready for a little head, tiger, because we're discussing Brian Trenchard-Smith's hilarious straight-to-video sequel Night of the Demons 2 (1994)! C/W: sexual assault.

Join us as we celebrate Halloween with Angela (Amelia Kinkade) at Hull House (and St. Rita's Academy), snakes and all. It's a movie that made Joe exclaim "You don't expect boobs to turn into hands!" Slap it on the poster.

Plus: learning about fellatio, the return of the demonic lipstick, and heaping all of the praise on Jennifer Rhodes' Sister Gloria, who may be our new favorite horror movie character.

Step on the gas because we're are revisiting another Carrie adaptation with Kimberly Peirce's 2013 film.

Joining us for the discussion is Podcast Like It's... co-host and Sleepy Hollow creator Phillip Iscove, who didn't like the film 10+ years ago and still doesn't!

Plus: the lack of queerness is such a heavily queer-made film; the "money shot" scene; praising Portia Doubleday's Chris; and tangents on Richard Kelly and Chloé Zhao.

We saved the best for last as we conclude "Thanks for the Judds," a six-week programming block on Ashley Judd thrillers, with a look at William Friedkin's controversial 2006 adaptation of Tracy Letts' play Bug, which boasts a career-best performance from Judd.

So finish that impromptu tooth extraction and destroy that smoke alarm because we're going all in on this supremely disturbing film (though Friedkin considers it a black comedy!). You'll hear us say it in the episode, but this is a great fucking movie.

Plus: offering a primer on Tracy Letts, returning to the dreaded F CinemaScore, and heaping all the praise on Judd's iconic "Super Mother Bug" monologue that closes the film.

Our second-last entry in "Thanks for the Judds" is 2004's Twisted, directed by 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers' Philip Kaufman!

This wannabe Noir/Erotic Thriller was written by female screenwriter Sarah Thorp, and is weirdly judgey and misogynistic when it comes to sex and sexuality.

Plus: a queer-coded Camyrn Manheim; red herrings for every male character; a too-obvious villain; and the return of "Merry Christmas Daddy"!!!

Check your spouse for ambidexterity because it's week four of "Thanks for the Judds", a six-week programming block on Ashley Judd thrillers. Next up is Carl Franklin's legal thriller (for real this time) High Crimes (2002).

Join us as we go all in on this Kiss the Girls reunion between Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman. It's all rather workmanlike and features way too many characters and subplots, but for people who love a good legal thriller: it's got the (predictable) goods.

Plus: baby Adam Scott, Judd's extremely 2000s haircut and "post-Gen X" character, and the return of Joe's game (a lot).

Snatch up that Kandinsky watercolor and perfect your New Orleans accent because it's week three of "Thanks for the Judds", a six-week programming block on Ashley Judd thrillers, with Bruce Beresford's Double Jeopardy (1999). Tagging in for the conversation is filmmaker and actress Ali Chappell.

Join us as we go all in on what might be the pinnacle of Ashley Judd thrillers with this gender-flipped The Fugitive (it even co-stars Tommy Lee Jones!). That doesn't necessarily mean it follows any kind of logic, but that's all part of the fun in this riveting tale of revenge.

Plus: jail vs. prison, an Ashley Judd pistol whipping, and debunking the film's understanding of "double jeopardy."

Keep an EYE out for snow globes because we are continuing "Thanks for the Judds", a six-week programming block on Ashley Judd thrillers, with Stephan Elliott's bafflingly sedate erotic(?) thriller(?) Eye of the Beholder (1999).

Join us as we try to figure out what's going on in Elliott's re-adaptation of Marc Behm's 1980 novel of the same name. It starts to makes sense when you understand the horrendous issues Elliott faced during the film's troubled production, but still.

Plus: k.d. Lang serving up some queer representation, a bleached blond Jason Priestley, Ashley Judd's wig game, and did we mention snow globes? Because there are so. Many. Snowglobes. Merry Christmas, Daddy!

Keep an eye out for doors and walls and stairs because we are kicking off "Thanks for the Judds", a six-week programming block on Ashley Judd thrillers, with Gary Fleder's Kiss The Girls (1997).

Nominated by listener Az, each week we'll dive into a new Judd title, starting with the one that made her a bankable lead...and one that she has a very different relationship to all these years later.

Plus: two climaxes for our "Leopold and Loeb" killers; a commanding Tony "Goldwyn-ing" performance; and the evolution of Alex Cross over time.
