a horror podcast
Now that we've caught up on 2025 releases, we come together once again to rank the top 10 horror movies from last year. This time, we're ranking the list during the podcast, so expect plenty of intense conflict and bargaining as we try really hard not to agree on everything.We also pull back the curtain a little bit on our ups and downs during the past year, and check out what Becca's been up to with her career as an artist.Genuine thanks to everyone who's gone through 2025 with us, and if you're new here, we love you too.
