Episode 52: The Shining (1980) - "Jack Nicholson's Eyebrows"
Happy Halloween! And Happy birthday to us, we're two!
We love to be consistently inconsistent and keep you on your toes - who knows when the next episode might be released?! But we are doing our best to keep them coming.
This week we decided to tackle the beast that is Stanley Kubrick's polarizing ghost story, "The Shining."
Your whorror-hosts discovered pretty quickly that they actually watched different versions: Jenny watched the shorter European version, and Kaitlin watched the longer US cut (appropriately).
There's a lot going on as they compare versions, bring back the summary haiku, play "Rate the Bush," Jenny sings the soundtrack, Kaitlin gets really into the ATMOSPHERE, and we discuss whether or not Jack Nicholson has acting range, or is he just relying on those eyebrows??
It's fruit cocktail for weeks over here at the Overlook Hotel so come and play with us, forever...and ever.... and ever.

Episode 51: Sissy (2022) - "A Fly-By Snuggle Fest"
We're back! Kind of!
We've decided to skip September entirely and head straight to October and the lead up to both Halloween and Jenny's impending birth!
The weather is changing, the clocks are going back, and the pumpkin spice candles are ablaze in anticipation...
This podcast may be haunted (by technical issues) but your whorror-hosts sound better than ever as they review Hannah Barlow and Kane Sene's independent Aussie horror, "Sissy," currently streaming now on Shudder.
Listen in as Jenny and Kaitlin go through the checklist:
- Realistic female dialogue in the women's bathroom? check
- Glitter eye makeup and nail polish? check
- References to Tucker and Dale vs Evil? double check!
But it's not all silliness as they also dig into bullying - what constitutes it and what is justified because of it - social media and the masks we wear, and who exactly is the villain here??

Episode 49: Aliens (1986) - "Aliens Take Elevators"
A Series of Sequels part II comes to a close at long last with our final film in the series, James Cameron's, "Aliens."
It's like the first one, but with more aliens!
The sequels have gotten incrementally better as we've worked our way through the films, so it makes sense to end on a high note...
Join your whorror-hosts as Jenny explains space, then she scores twice - because SHE CAN! - they discuss whether or not this is actually a Vietnam war movie, and for once they don't agree about the film!
Oh, and the riveting conclusion to the burning question:
Are sequels ever superior??
Tune in to find out...

Episode 46: Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) - "MUFFINS THE MOVIE"
Welcome to our annual springtime special! Last year we went sci-fi but this year please join us for:
A Series of Sequels (Part II)!
For this series, Jenny and Kaitlin seek to answer the age-old question: can a sequel ever be superior to the original?
Kicking things off in this little experiment is the 1981 classic, Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part 2."
Your whorror-hosts compare the sequel to the original in this in-depth discussion covering everything from inventive kills and gore factor to 80s nostalgia and special FX.
A pivotal moment in the Friday the 13th franchise, the audience is introduced to Jason as the villain - but we think everyone can agree that the real star of the show is Muffins.
Don't remember who Muffins is?

Ep 44: Skinamarink (2022) - "David Lynch's Wet Dream"
Your whorror-hosts are, once again, under the weather this week - due in part to the fact that they were recently together. What does this mean for the future?! Will they ever share a room together again without bringing about scurvy and consumption?
But illness may very well explain why - when choosing this week's film - your hosts were swayed by none other than the Daily Mail's proclamation of it as, "...the scariest movie ever made."
Dear listeners, join Jenny and Kaitlin as they try to make sense of it all; as they search desperately for plot devices, character development, dialogue, storytelling of ANY kind... and ask such profound questions as, is this art? Or is someone just trolling us?
It's a SIMS game, it's 100 minutes of darkness, it's Kyle Edward Ball's polarizing film debut, 2022's "Skinamarink."
There's a description haiku, Kaitlin sings The Elephant Show theme song, and Jenny changes her score - tune in and find out why!
spoilers from 16:09
*Gaspar Noe film referenced is "Climax"

Episode 43: Barbarian (2022) - "The Hallway of Despair"
Ahh here we are in cold February... the unexpected winter sun England has been getting is a pure delight though, as is the spate of newish scary movie releases!
So make a tea, get comfy, and listen in as your horror movie besties tackle Zach Cregger's directorial debut, "Barbarian."
It's a doozy of an episode as Jenny kicks things off with a film summary haiku, then we discuss which Sarsgard is creepy and which one is hot, there's a "rave of screams" for the sound design, and our heroine Tess does everything right... until she doesn't.
It's not all silliness though, as your whorror-hosts explore fatal flaws, gender stereotypes, social commentary, and attempt to answer the question: just who is the real barbarian here?
Recommended resources for this ep:
"The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker
"The Evolution of Horror" podcast by Mike Muncer (29 Oct 2022)

New year, same whorror-hosts... join them as they break down Ti West's celebrated slasher, "X."
There's a lot to love about this film - and the critics seem to agree - but listen in as Jenny and Kaitlin get deep on some of the themes and discuss ageism, casting choices, and whether or not a real cowboy would walk barefoot in a barn (no!).

Join Jenny and Kaitlin as they attempt to break down this direct-to-video horror film which, with a 6% on rotten tomatoes, may be the lowest rated film they've ever reviewed.
There's a lot of desiccated coconut, inventive deaths, silly one-liners, and assault by a vegetable.
See you in Snowmonton!
Spoilers from 12:58

Ep 39: Men (2022) - "How Many Rory Kinnears is That?"
Welcome to December (not November, and yes Thanksgiving has also now passed contrary to what we say in the episode)!
Our extreme lateness is partially explained by the technical issues we encountered here, and our trying to fix them. We did our best but, the sound is... not great. There is volume disparity and echoing at times - we are working through our technical glitches so please bear with us, but if you have sensitive ears you may want to give it a miss.
However, we care a lot about many of the themes in this movie and in our discussion so still felt it was worth posting!
If you decide to listen (and we hope you do) there are mentions abound about assault, suicide, gaslighting, abuse, you name it. So, trigger warnings for pretty much the whole thing.
In conclusion, let us not forget that our theme music is absolutely smoking hot and we highly suggest you check out The Brothers Keg.
Now then - should you dare - join your whorror-hosts as they talk about their other favorite film, "Alan and the Ten Rings," Jenny composes a Haiku, live!, and they count Rory Kinnears - then count the pregnant ones.
There's a lot to dig into here - let us begin!

Ep 33: Sleepaway Camp (1983) - "The Massacre at Camp Musical"
It is with infinite sadness that our 80s Summer Slasher Series is drawing to a close due to the earth's tilted axis... but fret not! Because your whorror-hosts are here to make sure it goes out with a bang!
After spending time at Camp Crystal Lake, Camp Stonewater, and a quick stop at Trish's house, they head to Camp Arawak...
It's a KILLER of an episode that includes Kaitlin singing for you, a deep appreciation for the composer (shoutout Edward Bilous! A true musical genius! Google him!) and attempts to answer such profound questions as:
1 why do men no longer wear crop tops or feather their hair?
2 is a woman's bitchiness directly related to her breast size?
3 is "cocksucker" an insult or a compliment?
Join us if you dare!
*Now taking applications for a Camp Consultant!
