Although weddings are beautiful and fun, they can also be catastrophic, or even deadly. 2019's Ready or Not is a favorite in general, and it perfectly captures wedding chaos and bridal horror.

Like the original, the remake is hypnotic and surreal, and it features dancing and witchcraft. The 2018 version digs into motherhood themes, and it explores the dark feminine.

It's a slow burn folk horror movie that has a Plug It Up trifecta: a monstrous femme figure, monstrous menstruation (well, some coming-of-age, at least), and monstrous motherhood. It explores gender in really interesting ways, and it's a real accomplishment of a movie in terms of script, direction, scope, and acting.

Mary joins Caitlin to talk about A24's new horror movie Men. While it has notes of everything we tend to like (commentary on misogyny, original sin allegories, cool body horror, and folklore), this one felt a little ham-fisted, and a bit 101. Still a cool effort, and certainly lots to dig into. Count how many times we say "I don't know." It's a lot.

We look at toxic masculinity, the ways class and sexism connect, and the illusion of "the nice guy." We also talk about the figure who originated the idea of creating a captive sex zombie: Jeffrey Dahmer. Creeps all around! Go, Dead Girl, go!

It was groundbreaking for its time, and it has become a cultural touchstone for film fans everywhere. We touch on themes of monstrous motherhood, chance, and mental illness, and we dig in to various symbols and motifs. We also talk about Hitchcock himself. What a strange dude. Not as strange as Ed Gein, who partially inspired the story of Psycho. We talk about him, too. Be sure to check out Christina's books, store, and workshops! And most importantly, help us answer this question: *is* a boy's...2022-04-191h 28Plug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastX: Psychobiddy Horror, Gators, and Dirty MoviesMary and Maddie join Caitlin to talk about Ti West's new movie X. Did you know that "psychobiddy" is a whole subgenre of horror? I didn't! It refers to horror movies where a formerly glamorous woman ages into a violent monster; it's sometimes referred to as "hagsploitation." We look at themes of aging, desire, and not having lived the life you wish you had. Also alligators. We get into theater etiquette and the year in horror so far. 2022-04-121h 16Plug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastFresh: Cannibal CutiesMaddie returns to help Caitlin cover 2022's Fresh. We dig into the movie itself and joke about its need for larger-bodied characters (as Lizzo famously said, "No, I'm not a snack at all; look, baby, I'm a whole damn meal"). We both really loved this one. It's looking like a leader for top horror movies of 2022, and we couldn't be happier to have ol' Seb Stan on the weirdo train. Speaking of weirdos, we reveal our alarming amount of cannibal knowledge, thanks in no small part to Last Podcast on the Left. Bon appetit! 2022-04-0554 minPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastX Files' Terms of Endearment: Demon Fetal HarvestMaddie and Charlie join Caitlin for an extra special episode. We tackle the X Files' spin on monstrous motherhood in "Terms of Endearment." That's episode 7 of season 6, if you'd like to watch before listening. We examine the monstrous feminine beats of this particular episode, and we do a deep dive on the X Files as a whole: favorite episodes, skips, FMKs, and how Gillian Anderson plays "dignified but horny" in all her roles. (That's a compliment; we deeply appreciate her craft.) We'll be back to movies next week, but we hope you enjoy this special episode!2022-03-291h 05Plug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastThe Wind: Scary on the PrairieCaitlin is joined by fellow podcaster Natalie Katona to talk about 2018's The Wind.

It's a beautiful movie, and we had a great time dissecting its themes of mothers and daughters, carrying the past, and sex work. I quiz Thor on his vampire knowledge, and we somehow land on X-Men for a while.

That crackling you hear? Oh, that's just us sitting around a bonfire playing Never Have I Ever, just like the characters in the movie. Definitely not a mic malfunction of any kind. (It was resolved in the end!) We had a great time covering the movie and doing a deep dive on the Satanic Panic.

In this movie, a woman watches her mother get taken by illness, age, and the supernatural. It's a great meditation on aging, the complex relationships between some mothers and daughters, and old secrets coming to light. It's beautifully done, and did I mention that they talk about Richmond a lot? That's important to me. We also round out our series on PMS. Be sure to find Elizabeth and Tracy on social media.2022-02-021h 05Plug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastCam: New Fear UnlockedCaitlin is joined by new guest Whitney to cover the Netflix original horror movie Cam.

Maddie, Mary, and Caitlin gathered to talk about David Fincher's Gone Girl. Feminist media discourse gave us terms like manic pixie dream girls and pick-me girls, and Gone Girl gave us "the cool girl." We do a deep dive on "the cool girl," themes, scenes, and quotes, and we generally have a great time with a great movie.2022-01-111h 26Plug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastThe Descent: Cave TreacheryShow regular Mary and new guest Dave join Caitlin to talk about an all-time favorite - 2005's The Descent. Dave is an experienced outdoorsman, and he brings a lot to this episode, especially because Mary and I are scared of everything. We love our brave cave Dave. We all agree that Juno is THE WORST, and we marvel at how well this subterranean movie was made. Join us as we look at the trreachery of monstrous female friendships.

This episode has a rousing debate, because I find the main character a bit of a pick-me, and Chase holds me to task and challenges my assumptions about the movie. Elizabeth proposes some great questions about the movie's logistics and what we would do in this scenario. We can all agree on one thing: the soundtrack slaps. Disasterpiece did right by this movie.2021-12-281h 14Plug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastDolores Claiborne: High Ridin' BitchesMary returns to talk with Caitlin about Stephen King's Dolores Claiborne.

Titane is a wild one! We analyzed the movie as best we could, shared a lot of laughs, and reflected on the ways TLC shows formed my brain.

It's a spooky and atmospheric retelling of The Turning of the Screw, and Nicole Kidman gets it exactly right. Suck it, Tom Cruise. We share our love of the costuming, the fog, and a tried and true horror trope done exceptionally well. Since the movie is, uh, dark, the motherhood fact is about mothers from the animal kingdom! Lots of cute mom/baby animal facts.

Matt is also a dentist, so how could we NOT do Teeth? This episode is really personal for me, as I talk at the end about a condition that I have called vaginismus/vulvodynia. Long story short: like Dawn in Teeth, my vagina sometimes feels inhospitable, and it's made for comlicated and painful moments in my life. We end up talking a lot about medical self-advocacy, and how important it is to feel comfortable with your healthcare providers. Go easy on me; it's a sensitive one.2021-09-281h 12Plug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastPlug It Up: A Horror Movie PodcastJug Face: Appalachian Midsommar Caitlin is joined by PIU regular Elizabeth and "Dad from the Crypt" Jody to discuss a Jug Face, a 2013 folk horror movie.

I appreciate Alyssa and Elizabeth bringing extensive knowledge of just how bad the Warrens actually were. But we did enjoy the movie! And man oh man, that Patrick Wilson sure can wear a pair of pants. The audio gets a little feedback-y at times, but it's tolerable.

We are thrilled to see Jennifer's Body having the renaissance it deserves. It's an excellent movie that suffered from really bad marketing at the time of its release. It's not the Girls Gone Wild movie that frat boys hoped it'd be; it's a movie about the complexities of women's friendships, as well as coming of age as a queer person. It's also hilarious. And Megan Fox unhinges her jaw and eats people!

We talk about the ways motherhood can seem monstrous - horrific pregnancies, demonic births, raising a monster, and moms committing the unspeakable. Don't fret - there are plenty more period movies on the docket, but we had a lot of fun adding this trope to the mix. We both love Rosemary's Baby, and we give it all our love.

Caitlin fondly remembers a high school English teacher that validated her love of horror, and Elizabeth recalls co-ed sleepovers.
