  1. Resident Evil (2026) (aka Breaking with Tradition)

    Episode 289

    Show notes

    The beginning of our new Patreon Series!

    Since we wrapped up talking about the Wachowskis last month, the day after Halloween seemed like the perfect time to start up our new Progressively Horrified Patreon exclusive series. And, as with all of these, we're going to make the first one available to all listeners and each following one Patreon exclusive. So, if you want to hear us talk about Karl Urban playing Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II, you better get over to Patreon and show us a little love. $5 is more than enough to get all of our bonus episodes over there.

    But this time it's Resident Evil, the 2026 adaptation, which is notably not a remake of the first attempt at making a Resident Evil movie or the second attempt at making a Resident Evil franchise (Welcome to Raccoon City). And it's by podcast favorite Zack Cregger, so you knew we couldn't pass it up!

  9. Cuckoo (AKA The Episode that Nearly Wasn't) with Justin Jordan

    Episode 281

    Show notes

    First Ben had a sudden deadline fall in their lap. Then Emily got sick. But Jeremy decided to soldier on without them! After all, comic writer Justin Jordan was joining the podcast for the first time and we were talking about the really good and very queer horror film Cuckoo.

    Then, Jeremy's entire neighborhood lost power for a full 12 hours mid-episode.

    However! Justin was a real trooper and came back to finish talking to Jeremy about Cuckoo in spite of all the many many reasons potentially not to.

    As a result, the sound is also a little weird and the episode is Frankensteined together from two different recordings.

    Who's responsible for this?

    • Director: Tilman Singer (Luz)
    • Writers: Tilman Singer
    • Stars: Hunter Schaefer, Dan Stevens, Jessica Henwick, Jan Bluthardt, Marton Csokas, Kalin Morrow

    Repo: The Genetic Opera is a horror musical goth opera about a guy who repossesses organs, his sick daughter, a family full of underused character actors, and one very screamy grave robber. It's...a lot...but somehow also not enough. It is super weird though.

    Frankly movie is not the gayest one we've ever covered, but it damn sure may be the queerest.

  17. K-Pop Demon Hunters (aka Corn has its Connotations) with Maia Kobabe

    Episode 274

    Show notes

    It's Ben's birthday show and we're talking about something that is a horror movie in roughly the same percentage as Funny People is a comedy, it's K-Pop Demon Hunters!

    Listen to us as we marvel at the brilliant writing. Nod with us as we observe the nature of a completely abusive mentorship. Worry with us as we consider the troubling connotations of lore around this world that isn't fully built out in a way that makes us wonder if maybe our heroes aren't heroes at all. We're here to go in way too seriously deep on K-Pop Demon Hunters and we have a first time guest, the writer of Genderqueer, Maia Kobabe here to show us how it's done done done.

    Episode 271

    Show notes

    Well, when horror movies start picking up acting Oscars, we gotta cover em, right? And we already did Sinners, so it's time to talk about Weapons!

    Warning: if your triggers are: kids in danger, drug usage, needles, cops, or being absolutely wrecked by June Diane Raphael, this might be one to skip. Otherwise, it's a hella good movie.

    • Director: Zack Cregger
    • Writers: Zack Cregger
    • Stars: Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Amy Madigan
