In "Some Like It Scary," two best friends chat romcoms, horror movies, and the tropes of both! Each week, Olivia (she/her) and Kelly (they/them) chat about either a romantic comedy or horror movie. Listen as they break down themes, provide context, and share their perspectives as fat, autistic queers. New episodes every Tuesday! Current format: We group a romcom and horror movie together by a similar theme, which will be two episodes (one for the horror movie, one for the romcom) released a week apart. Two themes (usually) a month! We'll do standalone bonus episodes occasionally on whatever we want!

This week on Some Like it Scary, we're discussing the 2001 romantic comedy Two Can Play That Game. Don't you know about the RULES? If you're a woman and you're dating a man and need to teach him a lesson... there's a (not) simple 10-day process to follow. We all read the same manual right? Well, if you missed it then join us as we dive into a very 2000's look at gender, dating, and communication. This movie will definitely have you screaming, just talk to each other! So grab your best friends and those mysterious panties and let's play a GAME.Note: if you missed our announcements the last few weeks, we have a change to our release schedule! We are still pairing horror and romcom movies together, but they will be released over two weeks - not the same week. Last week's episode was on Bodies, Bodies, Bodies - our other episode under the theme of "just talk to each other!" Episodes will (typically) be released on Tuesdays!You can follow us on instagram at: Podcast page: @somelikeitscarypod Olivia's page: @fatfemmebookclubKelly's page: @sidneysrevengeSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Can_Play_That_Game_(film)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0269341/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/two_can_play_that_game/reviews?type=userhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0269341/trivia/

Get ready to be slapped in the face by your friends and try to not get killed in a pitch black mansion owned by sword-wielding Pete Davidson. This week's movie, Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) is all about misunderstanding, friends who hate each other, and phones with never-ending battery power.

We're finishing up our House of Sprouse marathon with Beautiful Disaster, a very 2011 romantic comedy that came out in 2023. Featuring Dylan Sprouse, a dark poker past, and an underground college fight club, this movie is..... really something. Olivia also breaks down the source material (2011 romance book of the same name) and gives us perspective on how much worse the movie could have been. Join us as we try to navigate a very tropey film--and watch out for the splash zone.Notes:What's the Deal With,,, Jamie McGuire?

It's House of Sprouse week! First up is Lisa Frankenstein, featuring Cole Sprouse. Let's get in the tanning bed and go build our perfect boyfriend for Diablo Cody's return to horror... but watch out for the bugs. We LOVED this movie and had such an electric time chatting about the Frankenstein adaptation for the girlies!Notes:"Character Informing the Narrative: A Conversation with 'Lisa Frankenstein' Screenwriter Diablo Cody" (by Sadie Dean)https://scriptmag.com/interviews-features/character-informing-the-narrative-a-conversation-with-lisa-frankenstein-screenwriter-diablo-cody"Diablo Cody and Zelda Williams Build Their Own Monster with Frisky, Freaky ‘Lisa Frankenstein'" (by Kate Erbland)https://www.indiewire.com/features/interviews/diablo-cody-zelda-williams-lisa-frankenstein-interview-1234951155/"The 'Lisa Frankenstein' Cast on Movie References and Character Therapists" (Fandango, Peri Nemiroff)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5OBbCIP6pEThe Blerd Library on Substack: https://theblerdlibrary.substack.com/The Blerd Library on Instagram: @theblerdlibraryFollow Some Like it Scary on instagram at @somelikeitscarypod Follow Olivia on instagram at @fatfemmebookclubKelly's Substack: https://substack.com/@sidneysrevenge
Continuing our Big Stalker Energy week, we're discussing 90's romcom While You Were Sleeping. We chat about how close this movie is to a horror movie, share our amazement that this movie was even made, and learn about the weird history of how it came to be! Let's meet at the train station -- but watch out for the tracks (and stalkers). Follow us on instagram at @somelikeitscarypod
It's Big Stalker Energy week!! For our horror pick, we decided to do BOTH Creep and Creep 2 - they're best as one story anyway. Join us as Olivia cringes and Kelly gets a little too excited over Mark Duplass' performance as a wolf-obsessed creep. Grab your wolf mask, put on your custom-made locket, and let's get weird.
It's episode 10! This week we're asking, why are you so obsessed with me? We're going to Texas to make collages with Brendan Frasier for Still Breathing (1997), a lesser-known romantic comedy (maybe?) that neither of us had seen. Then we're going backpacking with Allison Williams and Logan Browning for the erotic horror movie The Perfection (2018). Both get horny, but only one is a movie Kelly would recommend for a date night. Grab your scissors and meat cleavers and let's get OBSESSED. Follow us on instagram at @somelikeitscarypod
Do you have a sister? Does she have kids? Well, what if you suddenly had to care for your sister's kids after her untimely death? Both of this week's films deal with exactly that -- though with VERY different outcomes. We're going to play with new toys and become mothers this week with the classic romcom Raising Helen (2004) and the campy horror sensation M3GAN (2022). Bring your pet turtle, but not your neighbor's dog! Follow us on instagram at @somelikeitscarypod
We're going for a drive and getting wild on a rollercoaster this week with baby Reese Witherspoon! We rewatched erotic thriller Fear and gave the roadtrip romcom Overnight Delivery a shot!
This week we answer the question "is sex dangerous?" Whether you're trying to break old patterns or literally escape a monster, to fuck or not to fuck is the question. We try not to have sex while discussing Sleeping with Other People and contemplate how to fuck ourselves to safety with It Follows.
In this week's episode of Some Like It Scary, we put on tin foil hats and hope that Mel Sugartits Gibson doesn't read our thoughts. We chat about What Women Want, a film full of tropes and hot women, and Signs, Kelly's favorite M. Night Shyamalan movie. Do you think there's such thing as a coincidence? And was there really a time when movies wanted us to think Mel Gibson was hot?
This week is all about girls and women talking.... to each other! We're going on adventures, traveling to new places, and wearing matching outfits! We're having a double feature week and chatting about Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1 & 2 and The Descent 1 & 2. Grab your favorite jeans and an ice axe!
