Too Cute to be ScaryOCTOBER SPOOKTACULAR #3: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)This is a big one folks, one we've been texting about for the past two weeks in excitement. For our October Spooktacular Episode #3, we pulled out all the stops starting with..... Morganne having a bit of a mental breakdown. This episode has tons of conversation actually about the movie, if you can believe it. We discuss the stupidity of the teenagers, the wholesomeness of the cast behind the scenes, and if we would stop for someone crying and bleeding on the side of the road.
Since this is a disturbing film, a big TW for violence and...2022-10-211h 58Too Cute to be ScaryOCTOBER SPOOKTACULAR #2: Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010)Let's goooooooo, week #2 of the best month of the year and we actually released the episode on time!

Thank goodness. It's finally officially our favorite season. This month we are taking you wayyyy out there to space so we can discuss Alien (1979), dir. Ridley Scott. We talk about a lot, as always, but especially the phallic symbolism, sexism, and really tiny underwear prominent in this film. While we love a feminist icon, does she really have to be wearing *that* small of underwear?? Or was this film just directed by a man? 👀

Today we are headed up on one last summer vacation to The Cabin in the Woods (2012) dir. Drew Goddard. This film was an incredibly fun trip that plays with a lot of the horror movie tropes that we've been talking about for the last 6+ months of this pod. Morganne discusses which stereotype they and their friends would represent in the film while Bree and Morganne both talk about boobies! This film wraps up the summer nicely and prepares us all for autumn, and the darkness 👻, that is (hopefully) right around the corner.

This week we're covering Martyrs (2008), dir. Pascal Laugier. This film had us talking about what happens after you die and the many theories about the ending of this film. While it's a graphic movie, it is truly mind-boggling and keeps you guessing until the very end. However, as we keep saying, make sure you keep your actors safe when you are filming graphic content!!
