Booze Boobs and Blood Podcast

We're delving back into Hitchcock for our second month in our retrospective year. These are some of our favorite episodes: The Lady Vanishes (1938), included. This movie might as well be called Gaslighting: the movie, and we love every minute of it. It's a recommend from us.

What We're Watching:

Hello listeners! We are wrapping up our Ghostbusters retrospective with Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), which follows the offspring of Egon Spengler as they discover their connections to the original ghost-busting team while fighting a very old foe in the plains of Oklahoma.

Up Next: The Lady Vanishes

What We're Watching

We are continuing our Ghostbusters retrospective with 2016's Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. And yes, this movie is part of the franchise. We don't care what you think. Get ready for the love fest (at least from Rae initially) as it's a recommend from us.

Up Next: Ghostbusters: Afterlife

What We're Watching

We continue our Ghostbusters franchise retrospective with the second installment, Ghostbusters 2 (1989). This is a three-thumbs-down slog, but Rae will watch this dumb movie every time she comes across it on cable.

What We're Watching

We 'celebrate' the newest Ghostbusters release with a retrospective of all the films in the franchise. We start the month with the original and best (in Rae's opinion), Ghostbusters (1984). To help us break this down, we welcome Veronica from the @chicklitbookclubpodcast. Buckle up bitches, because this is Rae's favorite movie of all time.

Up Next: Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

What We're Watching:

This week is a weird one. The ladies are divided but, at times, agree. This movie, "The Love Witch (2016)," needed editing—really bad. Overall, it's a recommendation.

Up Next: Ghostbusters (1984)

What We're Watching:

Buckle up and grab the tissues because it's a devastatingly beautiful one with Issa Lopez's 2018 Tigers Are Not Afraid. There are trigger warnings this week for child death, gang warfare, and school shootings. The ladies will contend that this one, while being sad, is hauntingly beautiful. It's an absolute recommend.

Up Next: The Love Witch (2016)

What We're Watching

We journey on with Celebrating Women in Horror Month with Rebekah McKendry's Shudder Original, Glorious (2022). As a mostly one-hander with the kinda amazing Ryan Kwanten, this movie has everything: existential crisis, apocalypse crisis, body horror, and black comedy. Wes (Kwanten) finds a lonely God in a national park toilet, you know, an everyday occurrence...

Up Next: Tigers Are Not Afraid

What We're Watching:

We start out #CelebrateWomen month with an isolationist folk horror from 2018, The Wind. The Wind has a small cast of 5 characters and will keep you thinking and guessing long after it ends.

Up Next: Glorious (2022)

What We're Watching:

We round out our month celebrating black horror with the amazing sci-fi horror comedy, Attack the Block (2011). Attack the Block stars a baby Finn from Star Wars and a young Doctor Who. When an alien invasion hits one particular block in London on Guy Fawkes Day, it's up to a ragtag group of teens to defend their unsuspecting neighbors.

Up Next: The Wind (2018)

What We're Watching:

This week we delve into Netflix 2020 original horror, His House, starring Sope Dirisu (Mr. Malcolm's List) and Wumni Mosaku (Lovecraft Country, Loki). The movie tells the story of a Sudanese immigrant couple trying to assimilate into life in the UK while being haunted by the thing that has followed them ashore.

Up Next: Attack the Block

What We're Watching

For our second weekly installment celebrating Black Horror, we delight in the 2023 Shudder exclusive, The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster. Expertly shot with just the perfect amount of gore and suspense, ABGHM offers an inventive reimagining of the Frankenstein tale by asking the question, is it possible to cure death? Brilliantly acted, well-paced, and with such depth of meaning, this is a two-thumbs way up from us.

Next Time: His House

What We're Watching:

First off, lets just put this out there - Nanny (2022) is not a horror movie. Is it a fantastic movie that you should watch and support? Absolutely. Should it be labeled as horror? Absolutely not. We delve into this fantasy folkstory and lose our minds over the stunning Anna Diop as the titular, Nanny, by first time director/writer Nikyatu Jusu.

Next Time: The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster

What We're Watching:

We close out our first Hitchcock month, with the excellent Young and Innocent. While it may just be over the line of appropriate for our horror podcast, we loved every minute of this romantic suspense.

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster

What We're Watching

We continue our first Hitchcock month with the 1930's murder mystery, Murder! Between Plex's lack of competent of subtitles, overbearing (at times) soundtrack, and the film just going black at different times, this was not an enjoyable watch for either lady. #horrorfam #horrorcommunity #hitchcock #murder1930 #horrormovies

Up Next: Young and Innocent (1937)

What We're Watching

Hitchcock month #1 continues with Blackmail! (1929). The ladies enjoy this disputed 'first talking picture in England'. The ladies discuss the amazing filmmaking and sound techniques used, the amazing performance of Anny Ondra, or what's with Hitchcock finding the creepiest male side characters.

Up Next: Murder!

What We're Watching/Reading

We start a deep dive into Hitchcock with his first horror/suspense silent film 1927's The Lodger. The ladies crush on Ivor Novello pretty hard and wax poetic about one of the sexiest sexless scenes put to film. We discovered that we have a lot to cover with these films, so we'll be breaking them down one movie per episode.

Up Next: Blackmail! (1929)

We finish up our Holiday Spirits Month on a high note (selection-wise - health wise...we are struggling). We review the highly lauded, Finnish film (our first international!), Rare Exports, about evil Santa and Better Watch Out (2016) a home invasion horror that's not what it seems. Poor Ween is struggling with her 2nd bout of Covid and Rae wants 2024 to get here already.

Up Next! We start our first foray into a Hitchcock Retrospective!

The Lodger

Blackmail!

What We're Watching

We start the holiday month with two dark 'comedies': Silent Night (2021) and It's A Wonderful Night (2023). One is truly funny and the other...utterly depressive? So grab a hot cocoa, santa hat, and fuzzy slippers and join us for the first half of our holiday celebration!

Rare Exports

Better Watch Out

What We're Watching

We end the month with two A24 selections, 2019's Midsommar and The Witch (2015). This studio does it right knocking it out of the park with their 'elevated' horror. The symbolism and small touches put these movies in another league. At least, 1/2 of our podcast thinks so - you'll just have to listen to figure out who!

Up Next:

It's a Wonderful Knife (2023)

Silent Night (2021)

What We're Watching:

We're 'celebrating' Folk horror month with Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) and Witchfinder General (1968). Some of the podcast are okay with the choices, others...not so much....

What We're Watching

We're 2 years old! Join our anniversary celebration while we share our 'best of's' from the past year of the podcast. Also, because it's a celebration, we discussed one of our favorite movies, Silence of the Lambs (1991). Enjoy an additional diatribe on Danny ElfMAN and Toni Collette along with dog fights happening in the background.

We close up Exorcise month with two disappointing (even with a Skarsgard) entries, Exorcist 3 (1990) and Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2004). Never have we experienced this much confusion in a joint viewing. Plus, it's snarky up in this piece today.

We begin Exorcise Yourself month with our guest host, Veronica of The Chick Lit Book Club Podcast, by discussing The Exorcist (1973) and Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977). While this is a long one (heh) the ladies had A LOT to say about both movies. Spoilers, Exorcist 2 is in the running for the worst movie we've ever reviewed on this podcast, and we watched Jeepers Creeper: Reborn, y'all.

Up Next: Exorcist III, Exorcist: The Beginning

We delve into the 2nd chapter of the newest installment of the IT movie remake to finish out September. This has been an especially fun month for us and this movie is the perfect way to end it. Bill Skarsgard is once again an amazing and terrifying Pennywise and honestly, Bill Hader is just delightful.

What we're watching:

We had so much to say about the movie version of Stephen King's It that we broke it into 2 episodes!! On this episode we'll cover It, Chapter 1 (2017) with the very talented group of kid actors and the amazing Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise. This one had so many awesomely creepy scenes with amazing effects we were left speaking with Russian accents.

What We're Watching:

The ladies are relaxing this month enjoying back to school with a retrospective of the original 1990 miniseries and the remake movie of Stephen King's clown horror classic, It. Rae drools pretty heavily about 1990's John Ritter and Harry Anderson, Ween unfortunately misspoke, and the ladies might come to blows before the next episode.

Check out our Youtube! We have new reviews up all the time!

What We're Watching

We are half a century! It's a milestone for us and we are celebrating with our own staff picks! Rae's chosen 2019's gory fast pasted horror comedy, Ready or Not. We love a surprise! Andie McDowell movie. Ween picks one of her favorite flicks, American Psycho (2000). We wax poetic about THAT scene, you know, bare butt, white sneaks, and a chainsaw. It's a nice comfort food ep - plus, Ween is already in. the. bag.

What we're watching (All Tubi):

We thought, hey, why let #insidious have all the fun. We continue with the #kidsinperil month with Knock at the Cabin with the enigmatic Dave Bautista and the Black Phone with the absolutely creepy Ethan Hawke. Also discussed: punishments as children, delicious cold pickles, and Good Omens 2, baby!

What We're Watching:

We are finishing up Insidious on the main feed with Insidious: Chapter 3 and Insidious: The Last Key. This one is a tough one guys. WHO ARE THESE FOR?! Also discussed: PUPPIES!, Ween is planning for a trip, and one of our hosts is the angel of death.

What We're Watching:

We start our Insidious retrospective with the 2 best of the series; Insidious (2010) and Insidious (2013) both directed by James Wan. The ladies discuss when this train goes off the rails into stupid city and how up until that point it was a pretty great supernatural horror movie. Then...it becomes a community theatre production (nothing against community theatre). The ladies also discuss Who cover bands, a short tale about a man castrating himself, and an inventive way to exorcise a demon.

We end Pride Month! with two films lacking the gay subtext we were hoping for: The Craft (1996) and The Covenant (2006). We are joined by returning guest, Will, to dive into this pile of witchery with a side order of tiny male bathing suits. Join us as we discuss why the heck these two films end up on every #queerhorrorfilmsyoushouldwatch lists and whether they live up to the hype. Also discussed, teenagers buying cigarettes, the glorious beauty that is gay male porn, and what the heck Fairuza Baulk is up to.

We are starting the best month of the year, PRIDE!, with two movies chock full of gay subtext. Sexy screaming and sexual tension in run down motels with Witchboard (1986) and homosexual stereotypes (and prejudices) run rampant with Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981). The ladies are joined by first time to B3, guest host, Lee! Discussed is the history of the Ouija (Ouijah, Ouijee) board, Rae confuses which actors from the show Newhart died in the past year, and how liquids are a GREAT conductor for spiritual energy.

We're headed back for our second helping for mall madness! This time it's not as delightful as a trek - we suffer through the absolute dreck that is Phantom of the Mall: Erics Revenge and the CGI mess, 8 Legged Freaks. Also discussed: the probability of people burying empty coffins, how much martial arts can one learn in a year, and even Pauly Shore can't save everything.

We are closing up the Evilest Month with a review of the newest addition in the ED franchise, Evil Dead Rise. Prepare to be spoiled, but it's Evil Dead, man, not much to spoil. Evil...Rises... We also cover the first season of the 2015 - 2018 Starz series, Ash vs. Evil Dead, and boy oh boy..that was painful.

What We're Watching

The Evilest Month rolls on as does our Evil Dead retrospective. We are sitting down to chat about the emergence or one ASH FUCKING WILLIAMS with Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. We discuss how this trilogy is literally a love letter to PostModernism in film. And the words "douched with blood" are used a number of times. Also discussed, Gustav Mahler (cuz why not), why John Oliver is the fucking GOAT, and how Ween's got sexy phlegm (and possible RSV).

What We're Watching

Finally, we have a month of enjoyable movies for a change! We are celebrating the release of Evil Dead: Rise, with retrospective of the franchise. Starting off, we have the OG 1981 film where Ash hasn't 'Ashed' out yet and the remake where we see a #femaleash.

What a time to be alive...or dead, Evil Dead that is!

Erin Go Bragh, dear listeners! The ladies are heading over to the emerald shores in honor of our Irish friends and family on this St. Patricks Day. Well, Ireland way of Connecticut, for the one (Plaguetown) and the Aran Islands (Grabbers). Rae has a 'grabbers' count (15?), and Plaguetown is full of people who look like people you know from the gas station. Also did you know that it's Kate Aspinwall's first film?! Exciting! Don't know who the f*&$ that is? Neither do we, but the imbd trivia and movie itself really want you to know. Good on' her.

Also discussed, the correct BJ etiquette, a new Japanese game show idea, and who can out 'brogue' one another.

We are celebrating Women's History month with an episode devoted to movies written and directed by ladies. We've been jonesing to check out St. Maud for a while and were less than enthused with what we got. Did you know Jesus spoke Welsh? We also cover Rae's least favorite horror movie, The Babadook, wherein which she screamed at her computer screen for every time that little asshole did. Seriously, nails up her spine. Also discussed, the ladies will be out and about in the area (listen to find out where), Rae's got a new tattoo, and Ween's got a new job. Don't you just love the spring?

South Park 

The Fabelmans

On the second half of our wrap up of Black History Month episode, we are diving into Master (2022). While this is more psychological thriller than horror, the potential for it to be the best horror of year is off the charts, it just missed the mark. Following 2 black women at their arrival of a predominantly white elite East coast college, we discover what it feels like to not truly 'belong'. Also, this is the most that Rae screamed out in frustration during a movie in her house. 

Also discussed, why every college campus has a hanged person urban legend, how many times Rae says 'fucking rich bitches' in one episode, and how far behind pop culture is she? 

What we're watching/listening? 

We finish off Black History Month with the third Jordan Peele installment, Nope (2022). Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, and Steven Yeun, this movie is incredibly entertaining and better going in NOTHING. Believe us, you'll appreciate it. The ladies also discussed Akron Haunted Schoolhouse and Laboratory, animals that violate our HOA, and Ween's got some exciting news!

How to Find Us:

We have so much to say about both Get Out and Us that we needed to split it into two parts! Your earholes can thank us later.

In Part 2 we dissect Us (2019), where a family faces possibly the most terrifying foe of all..themselves. This movie is psychological horror at it's best with amazing performances from the entire cast. Special shout out to the captivating, Lupita Nyong'o, for her dual roles. The ladies also discuss the hotness that is Winston Duke (who I believe Rae calls the incorrect name because she's the fucking worst), sexy saxophone, and how quickly each lady would have peaced out of existence if this actually happened. 

What We're Watching

Hear ye! Hear ye! We have finally watched the worst movie in 2 years of podcasting! We are closing up Jeepers Creepers January with the prequel that should have been the sequel, Jeepers Creeper 3. Turns out, not half bad. Then we delve into one of the worst movies either of the ladies have seen - and Rae has seen Fateful Findings. Also discussed, Beetlejuice the Musical, Rae is finally Covid free, and one of the hosts can't drink anymore...so what a fantastic start to the new year.
