Damian McCarthy's 2024 horror film, “Oddity,” sent a chill down our spines, so we were eager to check out his latest: this time about a hotel whose honeymoon suite is said to be haunted by a witch. Tune in to hear our thoughts on “Hokum” — from the visuals and settings that scared us most, to the character arc of Adam Scott's Ohm, and some key insights from the Q&A we attended with the director and star.

Over the last century, mummy movies have taken many different forms. But “Lee Cronin's The Mummy” pushes this classic tale into full-on body horror territory. Tune in as we break down this modern reimagining — from the most explicitly gory scenes, to the moments that gave us serious “The Exorcist” vibes, and how it channels the same brutal style Cronin brought to “Evil Dead Rise.”

Growing up, “Faces of Death” (1978) was that taboo VHS tape everyone talked about — infamous for supposedly showing real deaths and executions. Though it was eventually revealed to be fake, the fascination with watching tragic events feels even more relevant today. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the new “Faces of Death” — from the strong performances by Barbie Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery, to the scenes that had our hearts pounding, and why this meta adaptation works so well as a modern slasher.

Sisters being hunted by devil-worshipping rich people must be a popular trope right now, because just one week after “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come,” we got another action horror flick with a similar setup. Tune in to hear us break down “They Will Kill You” — from that early twist that (thankfully) wasn't spoiled in the trailers, to Zazie Beetz's bada$$ performance, and of course, the oddball way the Devil addresses everyone.

After surviving the sadistic, game-obsessed Le Domas family in the first film, Samara Weaving is back as Grace in “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.” But the girl can't catch a break, as now she has to hide from multiple devil-worshipping families alongside her sister. Tune in to hear us break down this highly-anticipated sequel — from the scenes that had us cracking up, to the ones that made us uncomfortable, and how cool it was seeing several ‘90s horror stars in the same flick.

To celebrate our 300th episode, we're shaking things up and discussing the horror film that most of our guests cite as having had the biggest impact on them — “The Exorcist.” Oh, and we're also doing the episode in costume!

In this episode, I'm breaking down my weekend in Dallas — starting with a crazy altercation that happened on the very first day of the year.
