Nostrovia, creepies! We're back from our hiatus to discuss our (one and only) Pride month movie, Hostel: Part II! We talk a lot about Heather Matarazzo, CGI nipples, and plot points that go nowhere but at the end of the day, it's all about people getting their dicks ripped off, right? It's good to be back!

*barf noises*, creepies! This week, we're finally slicing up the details on Eli Roth's Hostel (2005), aka the grandaddy of the torture porn genre! We also wish we were European enough to call the club a "disco," discuss the major details of international train travel, and gag over the bloodshed. Pack your backpacks and let's get to traveling! 

Grab your pickaxes and carabiners, creepies, and come spelunking with us into the depths of The Descent (2005)! This week, we're skeptical about the movie's take on anatomy, we revisit the hairstyles of the early 00s, and we talk about how we'd never invite anyone we care about spelunking. Oh, wait...we did that at the beginning of this description, didn't we? But just as a metaphor, we promise!

Ch ch ch ch ah ah ah ah, creepies! To celebrate the Friday the 13th that just passed, we're discussing the slasher classic....Friday the 13th! We also delve a little bit into the legality of hitchhiking and ultimately end up ranking the Tarantino films in order of how much we liked them! Don't miss out!

Batter up, creepies! Happy Mother's Day! This week, to celebrate all the moms, we're covering low-key anthem to single moms, Child's Play! We discuss the origins of Chucky, what makes a slasher a slasher, and what it's like to date Chris. 

It's "House of Leaves as f*ck," creepies. We're back and we're covering David Bruckner's 2021 psychological-paranormal horror The Night House. We mostly just have a really bad case of the giggles and introduce you to our new assistant Stacey, as well as discuss the Venga Bus. This movie might have a dumbass ending...we hope to offer closure. 

Chocolate, candy, bread, love and dreams, creepies! We're talking about the highly influential House (1977) and boy, does Chris wish we didn't have to! That makes room for lots of other discussions, like a riveting talk about hose water, Magic Mike 2, Frasier vs. Cheers, and Cara even reveals the identity of a girlfriend that you've never met because she goes to another school. Our names may not be Fantasy or Sweet, but we still want to show you a good time! 

Behind you, creepies! This week, we're going over David Robert Mitchell's 2014 instant classic, It Follows. Cara issues an apology for recommending a certain filmmaker, and Chris tells us what's going to happen when his first child is born. That's not an announcement, but...there is another announcement in this episode! What is it? Well, listen and find out, goofball!

This one night changes everything for us, creepies! In honor of Ti West *finally* releasing a new film, we go over one of his oldest and best, The House of the Devil! Well...kinda. The movie is really easy to talk about, which makes room for lots of other conversations. Have you ever wanted to know how easy it would be to kill Cara? Are you ready to say goodbye to Chris's beloved Oliver Twist character? Put on your headphones and dance around the house to the sweet sounds of our voices.

Mark it up, creepies! This week, Cara n' Chris are singing the praises (eh) of Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008). We also discuss how Rob Zombie could possibly make a movie without "the swears," what could have kept Alexa PenaVega's wig in place, and wonder how the hell Sarah Brightman wound up here. Zydrate comes in a little glass vial (a little glass vial??!??!!), but we come in a little loud podcast.

You should join us, creepies! This week, Chris and Cara are mentally vacationing in Santa Carla with The Lost Boys. We lean in heavily to our favorite undertones of the film. Chris also has a fundamental misunderstanding of a popular meat stick's slogan, and Cara apologizes to fans of Robert Pattinson for years of mistreatment. We still believe!

It's another Nic Cage episode, creepies! This week, Chris n' Cara discuss Panos Cosmatos' psychedelic revenge flick Mandy. Chris furthers his orphan character's origin story, we stump for Willy's Wonderland again, and also remind you that we may look like metalheads but we actually both just really love Paris Hilton. We may not be your God now, but we're pretty goddamn cute.
