Grave History19. Grave History at the Movies part 2CW: In this episode we mention the assault of a trans individual in relation to terrible director, David O Russell. It is not discussed in detail but we understand this can be distressing regardless. It is mentioned once and never again.

Grave History at the Movies is back for part two! In this half, we answer Teddy's questions and discuss animated horror, the Serious Man Cinematic Universe, and why Teddy dislikes Stephen Moffat so much.
Enjoy! See you for season two!

2025-06-251h 09Grave History18. Grave History at the Movies Part 1Please welcome episode 18, an interval between "seasons" as we work on writing, recording and editing the next episodes of spooky, macabre history.
Both of your hosts are big horror fans, as you may have worked out from numerous references made throughout the podcast. So, we decided to sit down one dark and stormy evening (in 2022) to dig through our relationships with horror and movies as a whole through a series of homemade questions.
As we talk A LOT, this has been broken into two halves. Part one is out now, and part two will be here next month!
Please enjoy...
