Copulators Die First

By Copulators Die First

Boo, we give Scream Queens a WHOLE new meaning!

Ash and Nick are life-long friends (and homosexuals) obsessed with horror movies and everything creepy/crazy/cool! Every other week they'll feature a new scary movie that will be examined from their gay perspectives while they read that film to filth! Nothing and no one is safe - especially those horny teenagers! On the off weeks, they'll bring you Paranormal Pansies - a rainbow-colored examination of the macabre and paranormal!

So - grab some popcorn, lock all your doors, and prepare to be entertained! Love, your big, gay uncles! (tongue pop)

52: Ham Good (The Exorcist, 1973)

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO US, PUMPKINS! That’s right, it’s CDF’s 1 year pod-iversary, and we thought the only way to properly celebrate was to cover the other movie we discussed in our first episode - The Exorcist! It’s one of our all-time favorite spooks, and Ash’s number 1! We do some good old deep-diving, we go off on tangents, there’s a few good Judy talks, and we reflect and reminisce on our first year as podcasters. Welcome to CDF’s Exorcist Extravaganza, everyone! Thanks to all our listeners and supporters for a great year, and here’s to hoping 2020 is even better!

CDF 48: Something's Wrong With Nana (The Visit, 2015)

What else says “Holiday Cheer” like spending time with your estranged grandparents while your mom goes on a booze cruise? Let’s up the ante - Pop Pop has a dirty diaper collection and Nana might be possessed by little lake aliens? Oh, and let’s make it extra spicy - these aren't your grandparents at all! Tune in for a fun discussion and some very special announcements!!!

CDF 47: Consumerism & Lasers (Chopping Mall, 1986)

CDF 47: Consumerism & Lasers (Chopping Mall, 1986)

The holiday season is in full swing, and what better way could Ash and Nick (with special guest Sarah!) get in the spirit than discussing the horrors of Black Friday, on an episode that drops on Cyber Monday? Consumerism, man. What an ugly beast. Sarah requested we cover Chopping Mall, and this little ditty fits in perfectly with our it’s better to give than to receive story line! Malls in the 80’s - monuments to our greed. Only 3 robotic trash cans - the Killbots - can teach us a lesson!

Nick and Ash cut right to the chase with this one. It’s a special night radio version of CDF, and they’ve got no time to waste and no shits to give. Who would you Boink, Marry, Kill if your choices are a 300 year old witch, a cat, or a boring old dude in a sweater?

Listen in as your favorite hosts breakdown Eli Roth's newest scare-fest! It’s not great, but it’s good - which is a compliment for horror movies.

CDF 40: Hocum Pokem (Hocus Pocus, 1993)

CDF 40: Hocum Pokem (Hocus Pocus, 1993)

To officially kick off the Homoween season, Nick and Ash take on the Disney classic Hocus Pocus! It may not technically be a horror movie, but it is definitely the ultimate suburban Halloween, crunchy leaves, which house gives out full candy bars, cozy Fall with chunky sweaters and apple cider movie. And this is definitely our podcast and not yours, and this movie is a house favorite so don’t come for us. So sit back and enjoy as this seasonal classic gets the CDF treatment!

CDF 38: Fact Vs Film: The Mothman Prophecies (2002)

CDF 38: Fact Vs Film: The Mothman Prophecies (2002)

As we round home base on our Fact Vs Film series for September, we go a different direction with our horror obsession. We’re tackling our first urban legend and the movie inspired by the book, inspired by the legend! That bump in the night? Is there something - SOMEONE - tapping at your window in the dark? Is it the boogeyman or something else entirely? Something...not of this world, perhaps? Look for the red glowing eyes in the middle of the night in West Virginia. They have something to tell you.
Sep 23, 201901:11:44
CDF 37: Fact Vs Film: The Haunting In Connecticut (2009)

CDF 37: Fact Vs Film: The Haunting In Connecticut (2009)

As we enter September, it’s back to school, pumpkins! Time to get our facts straight! All month long we’ll be taking a little fact-finding journey to discover how much liberty the film industry takes when movies are based on true events. This week we dissect The Haunting in Connecticut. 2009 was a magical time for film; but not in this case! Ash puts on their investigative lenses and dives into what kind of creative liberties were taken and what parts of real life were too...unsavory for this vanilla, conventional film. Come along as we recount the haunting...er...alleged haunting of the Snedeker family. Nick recaps the movie and maybe finally has a severe mental break? Only time will tell!
Sep 16, 201901:07:08

CDF 36: Fact Vs Film: The Conjuring (Ft Tori from Toil And Trouble Podcast)

As we enter September, it’s back to school, pumpkins! Time to get our facts straight! All month long we’ll be taking a little fact-finding journey to discover how much liberty the film industry takes when movies are based on true events. Tori from Toil and Trouble is back to help with the research! This week we’ll be comparing The Conjuring to the events that inspired it: the Perron family haunting, the legend of Bathsheba Sherman, and the accounts of Ed & Lorraine Warren. We’re excited! Are you excited!? You better be, nerds!

CDF 35: 80's Demon Flashdance (The Evil Dead, 1981)

CDF 35: 80's Demon Flashdance (The Evil Dead, 1981)

Campers, pack your bags because summer camp is officially over! With the bittersweet taste of charred marshmallows and awkward first kisses in our mouths, we say goodbye to this chapter; but not before reading from The Necronomicon with Ash (quite literally) and Nick! Listen here, children: reading is what!? Fundamental! Too bad Ash and his friends didn’t do much of that! On the bright side, what better way to celebrate the last week of camp than with one of the penultimate films regarding a good old fashioned weekend camping trip in the Tennessee woods with your friends where they all accidentally get possessed and then you kill them all? And well, every good story deserves a good segue, a twist or two, and gallons upon gallons of fake blood! So strap in, pay attention, and it'll all make sense in the end! Here’s to the inaugural season of Camp IDontWannaDie!
Sep 02, 201901:13:06
CDF 34: I'm A Power Ranger (Zombeavers, 2014)

CDF 34: I'm A Power Ranger (Zombeavers, 2014)

Campers, we are nearing the end of the inaugural run of Camp IDontWannaDie! Sit back and relax as Ash and Nick bring you the detailed account of the comically awful, yet delightfully fun, 2014 film Zombeavers! Tangents aplenty, your head counselors (ahem...Nick) get a little carried away by the zombeaver fever! I mean, zom-bear-ver!? C’mon! Be sure to place your vote for the film we’ll be covering in the Camp IDontWannaDie finale, and stay tuned for what’s coming next! It’s almost the end of summer and all our spooky little hearts are quivering with autumn excitement!

Pumpkins, this week we are diving deep into possibly the worst film ever made, according to Ash, and well, everyone else that was forced to sit down and muscle through this as requested by Tori. Light's out campers, because it's after hours.
Aug 14, 201901:19:45
CDF 31: Specific Gay Reference (Plan 9 From Outer Space, 1959)

CDF 31: Specific Gay Reference (Plan 9 From Outer Space, 1959)

Stock footage. Poor editing. Cheesy dialogue. Over-the-top acting. More stock footage. UFO models on strings. Overtly gay character acting. Vampira. What do all these things have in common? They’re key components of the “best worst movie of all time,” Plan 9 from Outer Space! In this week’s installment of horror education at Camp IDontWannaDie your hosts with the most take a look at what could possibly be worse than a high school production of a student-written play called “Dracula meets the Space Aliens” or something. Oh, but wait there’s zombies too. Well, whatever. Nothing makes sense anyway. It’s quite a confusing hour and twenty minutes. But not in a bad way. Join Nick and Ash as they deep dive into Plan 9 trivia and traverse the rocky terrain of poor visual effects and set design that make this one a cult classic. Beware the onslaught of electrified alien macabre zombies! (Okay there's really only 3 zombies)
Aug 12, 201901:09:29
30: Kotton Kandy Meat Locker (Killer Klowns From Outer Space, 1988)

30: Kotton Kandy Meat Locker (Killer Klowns From Outer Space, 1988)

CDF is celebrating its 30th episode already!? We’re Thirty, flirty, and thriving as the kids say! After a brief hiatus, your favorite queers are back! We start with a catch-up sesh before hopping back on the bus to Camp IDontWannaDie. We’re getting personal - we’re talking loss, mental health, and striving to live our best lives. Then, we’re getting super campy! Killer Klowns From Outer Space is on the chopping block as we enter the big top and admit that these Klowns are far more charming than anyone else in this cult classic! Sorry not sorry, you’ll never look at cotton candy the same way again.

The Great, Wide Wonkaverse (The Witches, 1990)

The Great, Wide Wonkaverse (The Witches, 1990)

Rob from The Pumpkin Spice Podcast is in the studio this week! Well, kind of. Modern technology breaks down geographical communication barriers. Rob and your fearless hosts are helping tear down the 90’s film that seemed to give every little kid nightmares! From opulent wardrobe choices to maniacal, magical world domination, we dissect and reminisce on The Witches! The gang also takes on existential questions about Willy Wonka standing for something way bigger than just a candy monarchy, and the potential existence of a Wonkaverse. Are the Witches and Willy in cahoots or mortal enemies? The world may never know!

Lime Green Jello (Jennifer's Body, 2009)

Lime Green Jello (Jennifer's Body, 2009)

Did you ever have that one girl in school that you SWORE was straight out of hell? Well, Jennifer is basically that girl. She’s evil, and not just high school evil. She is literally a succubus. She’s here to tell you all about how boys are dumb, and tear down the patriarchy with her campy one-liners. Nick and Ash never thought they’d worship a demon, but Jennifer and Needy are quite persuasive. Join them as they sing the praises of Diablo Cody’s criminally under-celebrated turn at horror - Jennifer’s Body!

All we need now are some roasty marshmallows! What's your favorite campfire tale? Maybe one about a dude in a hockey mask that just...won't...DIE?

We Need To Do Better (Seed of Chucky & The Skin I Live In)

We Need To Do Better (Seed of Chucky & The Skin I Live In)

The last week, and subsequently the last episode of Pride Month is upon us, and Nick and Ash reflect on what it truly means to be in an era where representation is done both effectively and responsibly - or when it isn’t. The duo take on not one, but two films this week and read each one in the very first head to head, versus death match. Grab your reading glasses because the library is open. When it comes to our trans brothers and sisters, we can do better. Happy pride, everyone!
