The Loved Ones (2009) with Gina Gionfriddo
Lola Stone wants to go to prom with Brent, the school hottie, but he’s already going with his girlfriend Holly. So Lola does what any jilted high schooler would do: she and her father kidnap Brent, tie him to a chair, and proceed to torture him in excruciating ways -- all while hiding a long-buried secret concerning the disappearance of several of their towns' residents.

Saints!
Things get unexpectedly spooky as Stephanie and Anne talk murdered saints, postmortem popes, and the occult in this Halloween season-appropriate episode. Join the hosts as they dive into feast days, patrons, canonization, and martyrdom. Steph is still proud to be the only Chavara cousin who got $3 instead of $2 on her patron saint’s feast day. Little Anne dreamed of being one day canonized but never totally worked out the details. The hosts also get macabre as they talk ouija boards and preserved pope corpses (only ONE of which the Catholic Church apparently finds creepy. Can you guess?!?!).
