Podcasts about certified forgotten

Was it Billy Joel who once said that working too hard could give you a shark attack-ack-ack-ack-ack? Probably not! But in this episode of Certified Forgotten, you will hear Matt Monagle and Matt Donato wax poetic about their love of Sean Byrne's new film, Dangerous Animals. Byrne, the director of modern classics The Loved One and The Devil's Candy, directs Nick Lepard's shark-slash-serial killer movie, and both genres are rarely this fun onscreen.

When your first feature is a J-horror-inspired found footage film, audiences might expect a movie like Noroi: The Curse to be a prime influence. But here's the fun truth: one-half of our guests had not even seen Koji Shiraishi's horror masterpiece until a day before this podcast recording. In this episode, writer-director duo Paul Gandersman and Peter Hall join Certified Forgotten to discuss Noroi: The Curse and Man Finds Tape, their debut feature that premieres this weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival.

You couldn't find two different breeds of horror fans than Certified Forgotten hosts Matt Donato and Matt Monagle. So, how did they end up giving Final Destination Bloodlines the same score? In this week's Uncertified episode, the Matts talk about their vastly different experiences with the Final Destination franchise and how that informed their Bloodlines reactions. People are saying it's one of the best in the franchise ... [whispers] and people are right.

Is there anything more tantalizing than time loop horror? In this episode of Certified Forgotten, our hosts are joined by Megan Norman, Events Coordinator and host with Crypticon Seattle, to discuss the fun of being a later-in-life horror fan, the importance of regional conventions, and the heady horror-comedy of Madellaine Paxson's Blood Punch.

You may think you've seen every flavor of zombie movie, but you'd be wrong. Aimee Kuge joins Certified Forgotten to talk about the flesh-eating fun of her new film, Cannibal Mukbang, and the bleak undead nightmare that is Scooter McCrae's Shatter Dead.

When you're an independent film made for less than $10,000, it doesn't matter if horror fans consider you one of the great zombie movies of the 21st Century: you're still well below the radar of the average moviegoer. In this episode of Certified Forgotten, journalist Michelle Swope discusses her lifelong love of horror and her particular appreciation for Jeremy Gardner's The Battery.

In this week's episode, we're swapping an "M" for an "M" to keep the formula correct. Certified Forgotten's Matt Donato covered South by Southwest 2025 from start to finish, but Matthew Monagle did not. So, Donato called in backup to help with an entire episode dedicated to the horror films of SXSW. Please welcome back Bloody Disgusting's Meagan Navarro, one of the tippy-top horror journalists working today. Listen in to hear about all the rad horror titles you should keep an eye out for in the future!

We're doing something a little different this week for Certified Forgotten! It's South by Southwest time for the Matts, as they check out the slate of cinematic offerings at Austin's biggest film festival. In honor of SXSW, Donato and Monagle have picked some of their favorite festival titles, old and upcoming. It's easy for festival films to fall through the distribution cracks—hopefully our picks don't suffer that same fate.

If you're a longtime Certified Forgotten listener, you know how co-hosts Matt Donato and Matthew Monagle feel about Oz Perkins. They've debated The Blackcoat's Daughter, reviewed Longlegs, and have made their stances known. So where does The Monkey fit into their discussion? It's the least "Oz Perkins" of any Oz Perkins movie, much to Donato's pleasure. The question is, will this ultra-gory, weirdly humorous, more "Midnighter" Stephen King adaptation also work for Monagle?

In this very special episode of the Certified Forgotten podcast, Matt Monagle and Matt Donato are joined by actor and filmmaker Kate Siegel (Midnight Mass, Hush) who goes behind-the-scenes on the making of her V/H/S/Beyond segment "Stowaway" and then kicks off a fun discussion about Lesley Manning's Ghostwatch. What starts with references to The Human Centipede ends with a call to get active in your community, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

When is a spoiler not a spoiler? In Drew Hancock's Companion, one of the most important parts of the story is introduced in most of the marketing material, which begs the question as to whether you can talk about the movie without talking about... well, you know. In this episode of Certified Forgotten's Uncertified series, Matt Monagle and Matt Donato tackle this and other pressing questions tied to Companion. Here's a non-spoiler alert: one of the Matts absolutely loved it, but you'll have to listen to find out which one.

Who better to discuss a film like Rawhead Rex than the current king of low-budget horror? In this episode of the Certified Forgotten podcast, we're joined by Jordan Downey - co-writer and director of The Head Hunter, ThanksKilling, and the opening segment in the Critics' Choice Awards-nominated V/H/S/Beyond - to talk about his favorite Clive Barker adaptation - or at least, his favorite Clive Barker adaptation where an ancient Irish demon gives a deacon a golden shower. 

New year, new ambitions, same Certified Forgotten. We're ringing in 2025 with an absolute dream of a guest: David Dastmalchian. We're double-dipping on this episode because podcast fans would be correct to remember we covered 2012's Entrance with Jackson Stewart. We don't see that as an issue — it's pretty rad that multiple guests would want to champion such a "small" film. Plus, we have plenty to chat with David about, considering he's up for a Saturn award, releasing comic books, and appearing on goblin-led podcasts atop his fantastic acting career.

It was only a matter of time before Tammy and the T-Rex found its way onto Certified Forgotten. Part romantic comedy, part mad scientist experiment, part gory survival-horror flick? Paul Walker's brain ends up inside a gigantic dinosaur prop that lusts after Denise Richards? Longtime entertainment journalist Eric Goldman brings us back to the 90s with this absurd blast from the past, emphasizing this movie as a total blast. It's unquestionably a Donato movie, but is it a Monagle movie also? Tune in to find out.

Happy Halloween, fellow ghoulies!  In this bonus episode, Zena chats with the director of MR. CROCKET, Brandon Espy, and the star Elvis Nolasco, who plays Mr. Crocket himself, the demonic children's show host. Followed by a horror roundtable featuring Evol Tyrone, Sapphire Sandalo, and Matt Donato to discuss funky horror villains, what makes a horror icon, werewolves, Halloween plans, and plenty more!

In this week's short-and-sweet podcast episode, The Matts discuss Adam MacDonald's Out Come The Wolves. It's a bit like Backcountry 2.0, except instead of a bear, it's a pack of hungry wolves. MacDonald's making a name as a wilderness horror director, which neither Certified Forgotten host sees as an issue. What do we think will be MacDonald's next animal of choice? Surely he'll at least complete a trilogy of "When Animals Attack" indies.

Here at Certified Forgotten, we're sometimes surprised to find specific movies qualify for our "10-or-less reviews on Rotten Tomatoes" rule — 555 is not one of those titles. Joining us this week is Sean Abley (co-creator of Queer Horror: A Film Guide), who brings with him a piece of shot-on-video Chicago horror history. Wally Koz's microbudget procedural features a murderous necrophile, infamous enough to be included in the Sterling Memorial Library at the Yale University Library. Yes, a movie with fake-as-hell beheadings and extreme overacting is shelved in a Yale collection. Listen in to find out why.

In this week's mini-episode of Matt on Matt podcasting action, your Certified Forgotten co-hosts share their thoughts on Zoë Kravitz's rageful debut, Blink Twice. How did she sneak a rape-revenge movie into theaters with mainstream appeal? By wrapping it in a Glass Onion meets Get Out meets The Hunt vision — and casting Channing Tatum helps. But this isn't a movie about him. Blink Twice is an indictment of cancel culture's failings from a female perspective, which Kravitz delivers with haymakers from Naomi Ackie and the women around her. It's a battle of the sexes while trapped in paradise and one hell of a coming out for the actress-turned-filmmaker.

Want a killer workout? Then come on down to Michael Fischa's Death Spa, where the equipment is automated and only a handful of people (just a handful!) are killed by the ghost in the machine. Heather O. Petrocelli, author of Queer for Fear: Horror Film and the Queer Spectator, joins Certified Forgotten to talk about '80s horror, queer film audiences, and the fading art of the movie theater experience.

Can you believe a George A. Romero title fits our "10 critic reviews or less" criteria for Certified Forgotten coverage? Neither can we! But here we are. Beloved horror author Adam Cesare of Clown in a Cornfield fame brings us another 2000s curiosity, this one by the master of zombie cinema himself, Bruiser. We'll talk about when movies felt like movies, why Jason Flemyng deserves more leading roles, and Peter Stormare doing Peter Stormare things. Come get Kentucky fried with us in this week's episode!

On this installment of The PAPER STREET Podcast, hosts Shawn Talley and Becky Sayers are joined by film critic, entertainment writer, and author Molly Henery!  The hosts talk with "The Blogging Banshee" about her background, career, her popular 'Uterus Horror' column on Certified Forgotten, and all about the new book she co-authored, 'Queer Horror: A Film Guide' (now available for pre-order!).  Also on the program: a fun round of 'Rapid Fire 15' with Molly, some lesser known queer horror films, Becky's Deep Cut Slasher of the Week, life in the PNW, and more!   For show notes and additional links to the guest, please visit paperstreetpodcast.com.

It's one killer elevator, Michael, how much could it cost? In this week's episode of Certified Forgotten, we're joined by horror critic and cosplayer Jessica Scott (Fangoria, Inverse) to talk about Dick Maas's Down (aka The Shaft), a wild mashup of '80s scripts and '90s excess -- and, given its scheduled 2001 premiere date, perhaps the worst-timed movie in the history of Hollywood.

How many genres is too many genres? For Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, the sky itself is the limit. Writer-director Jenn Wexler (The Ranger, The Sacrifice Game) joins Certified Forgotten to discuss her path through the film industry and Maury and Bustillo's Livid, a vampire/fantasy/steampunk/slasher/something that left an indelible mark.

In the first episode of Uncertified, Certified Forgotten's new series of 30-minute movie discussions, Matt Monagle and Matt Donato take on Radio Silence's Abigail. Does it get the balance between horror and comedy just right? Or does it stumble in its goal of being the best horror-comedy about ballerina vampires since, well, ever?

T recently finished up an interview with Certified Forgotten's Molly Henery where the two got to discuss a number of different topics including the film Perpetrator. Molly covered this for her "Uterus Horror" series and now Theron has checked it out too and is here with his review! Perpetrator Reckless teen Jonny Baptiste is sent to live with her estranged Aunt Hildie. On her 18th birthday, she experiences a radical metamorphosis: a family spell that redefines her, called Forevering. When several girls go missing at school, a feral Jonny hunts the perpetrator.

T recently sat down with Molly Henery (Blogging Banshee, Certified Forgotten, Dread Central) and the two got the chance to talk about quite a bit including: Favorite Horror Collectibles, Championing other voices in the Horror space, Her ongoing "Uterus Horror" series, Arcadian, & more! Check out the full interview, with the broken up parts 1 & 2 to be released later this week

What's that, no guest? It's the dawn of a new era at Certified Forgotten, and Matt Donato and Matt Monagle are here to explain their vision for new episodes of the show. But new ideas doesn't mean saying goodbye to old favorites, which is why we've also got a full-sized conversation about Steven C. Miller's Under the Bed. Did Monagle like this old-school Donato favorite? Listen for yourself to find out!

Did anyone have Chow Yun-fat on their Certified Forgotten bingo card? We didn't either! But here we are, welcoming Bloody Disgusting's Meagan Navarro back to discuss Lam Ngai Kai's Hong Kong horror actioner The Seventh Curse. The film, based on the widely popular Dr. Yuen series, has a little bit of everything: blood curses, wriggly worm monsters, bleeding statues ... and that's just in the opening thirty-plus-minute flashback. This week's episode is a blast from the past with Meg and the Matts, so give it a listen!

In this week's episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts are rejoined by Film School Rejects head film critic Rob Hunter, who last appeared on Episode 5 to talk about Cold Prey. In this episode, Rob weighs in on award season, his lackadaisical approach to release dates for year-end lists, and, of course, Winston Azzopardi's The Boat.

In this week's episode of Certified Forgotten, dig into the terrifying trenches of wartime horror. The Matts are joined by industry professional John Torrani to go head-to-head with Nazi ghosts in 2008's Outpost, paying respect to the late Ray Stevenson. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, so when they get back up, someone has to put them back down.

In this week's episode of Certified Forgotten, we turn our sights to Christmas horror and mumblegore! Filmmaker Tyler MacIntyre (Patchwork, Tragedy Girls) returns to the podcast for an in-depth discussion about his new film It's a Wonderful Knife and the importance of Hallmark Christmas movies to his own career. Then, MacIntyre joins The Matts for a discussion about Adam Wingard's A Horrible Way To Die, an influential mumblegore release that also doubles as a "killer" showcase for actor-filmmakers Joe Swanberg and Amy Seimetz.

Horror anthologies are a mixed bag by nature, which makes them a harder sell to audiences. No one knows this better than our latest guest, a Canadian import who you've heard and read on Daily Dead, Scott Drebit. He wrote the book on underseen horror (literally), and is bringing us an 80s horror anthology that hopefully will have more of you reaching for the subgenre after another splendid Certified Forgotten conversation.

Here at Certified Forgotten, we've seen some shit. Our guests love bringing us challenging genre films with varying amounts of "weird" and "obscure." Enter our guest Drew Dietsch and this week's focal title, 1988's Pin. You know, the one with a sexualized medical dummy who can "talk" and encourage murder? From Canada with love, baby.

Before he earned accolades for directing The Fugitive - hell, before he turned the heads of action fans with Steven Seagal's Under Siege, director Andrew Davis directed a 1983 low-budget wilderness slasher called The Final Terror. In this episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts talk with novelist and screenwriter C. Robert Cargill (Sinister, The Black Phone) about the challenges of leaving film criticism and the power of becoming a full-time storyteller.

Did you know that Vincent D'Onofrio directed a low-budget indie horror musical in the mid-2010s? The Matts are joined by Don't Go in the Woods superfan Sezin Koehler to discuss this bloody assessment of creative endeavors, which she already wrote about for our wonderful little website. A rare double Certified Forgotten dip!

Are you ready for our first Stephen King discussion on Certified Forgotten? We're signing up for the Graveyard Shift with Meg Shields (@TheWorstNun) to talk about rats, goop, and '90s horror decadence. Who knew commentaries about employee rights and corporate greed could be this bonkers?

You've heard of found footage horror, but is the world ready for a found commentary horror? In this week's episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts are joined by writer-director Michael Varrati (@MichaelVarrati) to discuss Director's Cut, Adam Rifkin's movie-within-a-movie collaboration with actor-magician Penn Jillette. There's a lot going on in this film, but let us leave with this: if you've ever wanted to hear hear silent magician Teller speak, well, be careful what you wish for.

It is the movie that shook the nation - and no, we're not talking about Hell House LLC, but the in-world documentary that serves as the basis for Hell House LLC 2: The Abaddon Hotel. And if that sounds confusing to you, then leave it to the Matts and special guest Alice Collins (@vampaly) to unpack the film. In this episode of Certified Forgotten, we'll discuss found footage, horror franchises, and what it takes to open up your world with a horror sequel.

What would life be like without the occasional yakuza film to keep us company? In this special two-guest episode of Certified Forgotten, The Matts are joined by Leigh Monson (@LeighMonsonPBF) and Amelia Emberwing (@ThatWitchMia) to discuss Blood of Wolves, a Japanese gangster epic from 2018. How do films about corrupt cops play after two years of police "accountability"? And does Blood of Wolves provide enough gore to live up to its Shudder distribution? All signs point to yes.

Stop dancing and you'll die - that's the challenge faced by Zano, the Greek vampire at the center of Yannis Veslemes's debut horror feature Norway. For this very special episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts speak with Terror Vision's Brad Henderson (@BradFHenderson) about how he came to fall in love with this disco-fueled vampire nightmare.

What would you give up to make the perfect horror film? If you are the main character in Kim Jin-won's Warning: Do Not Play, the answer is everything - and more. In this episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts are joined by Richard Whittaker (@YorkshireTX), Culture Editor at the Austin Chronicle, to discuss the growing Austin film industry and the enduring power of films about films.

Bow down before the furnace because we are talking about Oz Perkins' 2015 debut film The Blackcoat's Daughter. Joining us is mega-fan Matt Monagle from Certified Forgotten, who counts this as his #1 horror film.After Trace takes us through the botched release schedule (with a few jabs at A24 and DirecTV), we dig into this intimate, dread-filled film which features three fantastic female performances and oozes atmosphere.

How far would you go to protect humankind? In this episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts are joined by Heather Wixson (@thehorrorchick) to discuss Alien Raiders, Ben Rock's sci-fi indie that offers a 2000s spin on The Thing. Don't be fooled by the title: the world is a better place with this single-location monster movie in it.

With a new year - and new listeners - upon us, the Matts decide to take a moment and remind the Certified Forgotten faithful what this beautiful podcast is all about. This mini-episode serves as a re-introduction to the Certified Forgotten series and highlights a few key changes to both the podcast and the website in 2022.

Are you ready to go... all the way? In this episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts are joined by Fangoria Managing Editor Ariel Fisher (@Afis8) to discuss the rock-and-roll greatness of Deborah Navarra-Brock's Slumber Party Massacre 2. Is this film deserving of a place in the all-time cult canon? And does its handling of both glitter and trauma make it the rare film that Monagle and Donato both love? Guess you'll just have to listen to find out.

Meagan, and Jon are joined by Matt Donato of the Certified Forgotten podcast who may or may not be too similar to Jon for anyone's good...***Get more content and rewards on patreon! patreon.com/bdisgustingpod***Want to call in and give us your take?

Ready to greet the end of the world with a smile? In this episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts are joined by veteran film festival programmer Luke Mullen (@ldmullen) to discuss There Are Monsters, writer-director Jay Dahl's feature adaptation of his award-winning short. Did this movie have the best jump scare both Monagle and Donato have ever seen? And what about that killer ending? Listen to the full episode to enjoy Canadian horror at its finest.

This week we sit down with writer, podcaster and the other half of the Pod and the Pendulum podcast, Lindsay Traves! You've seen her work in Pajiba, IGN, Certified Forgotten, Bloody Disgusting, Grim Magazine, and so many other places on the internet. We talk about how she got introduced to horror, her other choice for most scarring movie, her interest in writing (and writing about) horror and much more. Then it's time for Amityville 1992: It's About Time, a movie that absolutely terrified Lindsay as a child that she hasn't revisited it...until now. Things get silly as we talk sibling relationships, squelching noises, people getting sucked into the floor, cosmic horror, ice cream trucks...Terry shares a very specific memory that It's About Time reawakened...this might be the funniest episode to date. Follow Lindsay on Twitter and Instagram. Read her articles on copyright law and Marvel's Spider-Man here and the whole legal situation surrounding Friday the 13th here.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Twitter.

Bride of Chucky introduced the first major detour in the Child's Play franchise. Adding Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany Valentine injected more comedy and self-awareness to series writer Don Mancini's macabre tale. But as audiences discovered in 2004, Chucky's world would get a lot wilder. In Mancini's directorial debut, Seed of Chucky, the killer duo become parents. In the fifth episode of our Child's Play/Chucky mega-series, Matt Donato of Certified Forgotten joins the show to help us break down how Seed of Chucky changed the series forever. We'll discuss its handling of gender identity, how it marks a dramatic turning point for Chucky (Brad Dourif), and why its release led Mancini to take the franchise back to basics. Listen in as we bid farewell to the "Chucky and Tiffany" section of the Child's Play franchise. Next up: Curse of Chucky marks a new era for the franchise, as Fiona Dourif joins the series as Nica Pierce. SYNOPSIS Glen (Billy Boyd) is the offspring of evil doll Chucky (Brad Dourif) and his bride (Jennifer Tilly). When Glen hears that a film is being made about his parents, he goes to Hollywood and resurrects them. But Glen is horrified when Chucky and Tiffany embark on a new killing spree. Meanwhile, Glen must decide whether to follow in his parent's footsteps. Connect with Crooked Table Productions on social media: Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Instagram

New York City. Center of the universe. Times are shitty, but I'm pretty sure they can't get worse - unless, of course, you're the title character in Andres Torres's scuzzy horror-comedy Bag Boy Lover Boy. In this episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts are joined by horror journalist Dede Crimmins to discuss their shared love of genre film festivals and how to handle the horror that makes us most uncomfortable.

What makes a horror video game different from a horror film? What does the future hold for cinematic video game adaptations? And how will history remember Uwe Boll? These are just a few of the questions The Matts tackle in this week's episode of Certified Forgotten. Here to guide the discussion is film and video game critic Reyna Cervantes, who comes ready to talk all things BloodRayne (and BloodRayne 2: Deliverance in particular).

This week, we continue our discussions with the creators of Certified Forgotten as Matt Donato drops by to discuss how much of a self-named "weenie" he was growing up. We talk his horror history, how Certified Forgotten came about, working with Matthew Monagle and his favorite episode. Then, we talk the incredibly silly (and somewhat problematic) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! Why did Donato choose this silly movie? Why is it a musical? How many people almost died making this film? And why, exactly, is this the Shin Godzilla of food horror? All this and morning in this silly conversation about an even sillier movie!Follow Matt Donato and Certified Forgotten!Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Twitter.

"Jason. My special, special boy. They must be punished, Jason. For what they did to you. For what they did to me."   A joyous Friday the 13th to all of you wonderful campers out there! This year, we celebrate with our good friend Mike Snoonian of The Pod and the Pendulum & PsychoAnalysis podcasts by discussing one of the many early 2000 remakes of a classic slasher franchise. We'll talk about our favorite Jason actors, why this movie unfortunately loses more and more every re-watch, and debate which of the Winchesters is the sexiest.   Lindsay Traves' article on the Friday the 13th lawsuit for Certified Forgotten: https://bit.ly/2U8xjqG   You can find Mike at the following places:  Twitter: @mike_snoonian Instagram: @mikechumpchange The Pod and the Pendulum: https://apple.co/3yRm2KN P&P Twitter: @podandpendulum PsychoAnalysis: A Horror Therapy Podcast: https://apple.co/3xDMuGj PA Twitter: @PsychoAPod PA Instagram: @psychoapod   Opening Music: "Thank God It's Friday" - Ice Nine Kills Closing Music: "XIII" - Crazy Lixx

In this long-overdue new episode of Certified Forgotten - and yes, we missed you too - the Matts are joined by WhatToWatch editor Amelia Emberwing to talk all things Troma and Fernando Alle's absurdist trash-sterpiece, Mutant Blast. Is this a Monagle movie or a Donato movie? You'll never guess the exciting reveal!

How much movie can you make for $5,000? If you're writer-director Stacy Davidson, that will buy you one Sweatshop, a throwback-style slasher with some incredibly creative kills. In this episode of Certified Forgotten, the Matts are joined by Mike Snoonian (The Pod and the Pendulum, Psychoanalysis: A Horror Therapy Podcast) to discuss horror, therapy, and the underrated period of post-Saw splatter.

If one were to describe Mike Mendez's 2000 cult classic in a single sentence, it might be this: The Convent is a film that arrived either 20 years too late or 10 years too early. Steeped in video nasties of the '70s and '80s, Mendez's film offers an early glimpse of the VHS nostalgia that would soon dominate the horror genre. And in this episode of Certified Forgotten, Monagle and Donato are joined by Screamcast co-host Stephanie Crawford to talk about the film and its enduring appeal to horror fans.

Did the world really need a porn parody slasher? Well, if the result is as funny - and Adult Swim weird - as Deep Murder, then the answer has to be yes. In this episode of Certified Forgotten, Monagle and Donato are joined by Horror Queers co-host Trace Thurman to talk about Nick Corirossi's 2018 horror-comedy, which runs the gamut from Clue to Pleasantville to, uh, Dude Bro Party Massacre III? Consider yourself warned.

In 2008, Spanish filmmaker F. Javier Gutiérrez took his modest end-of-the-world thriller to the highest heights of the film festival circuit, including a nomination for Best Debut Film at the Berlin International Film Festival. So why is Before the Fall (Tres días) so unknown within genre circles? In this week's episode of Certified Forgotten, filmmaker Becky Sayers joins Monagle and Donato to discuss this paradoxically hopeful and hopeless apocalyptic experience.

136. Cam Forever: Clean those bedsheets and dust off your webcam! We're back with a delightful dive into two outstanding, innovative, and fairly new genre films. Anthony Isaac Bradley joins Christine and Emily to discuss Ben and Chris Blaine's 2015's Nina Forever (streamable now on Shudder and Amazon Prime) and the Daniel Goldhaber/Isa Mazzei's Cam, from 2018 and streaming on Netflix. There's also a fair amount of spoiler-free Twin Peaks talk, because life is good. Be sure to check out Anthony's work on Certified Forgotten and follow him via Twitter (@abradley24) and Instagram (bubblebathwithclotheson)!

134. When Animals Lure: We're back! Christine and Emily emerge from the Stocking Stuffer hangover with an INCREDIBLY special treat! Special guest star Carol of the Cultural Gutter is here to help navigate the murky waters of primal female sexuality (and a lot of other stuff!) with two recent European genre films. First up is Jonas Alexander Arnby's 2014 surprise monster movie When Animals Dream, followed by Agnieszka Smoczynska's 2015 mermaid horror musical debut, The Lure. We had a blast dissecting these films, and hope you enjoy the blood and scale-covered ride. Be sure to follow Carol's work over at the Cultural Gutter for tons of thoughtful coverage of your favorite disreputable art, as well as Christine's editing work over at Certified Forgotten and Emily's movie ramblings at The Deadly Doll's House. READING IS COOL, OKAY?
