Maddie joins Caitlin to review Saccharine, a new release that tackles what many critics are calling "Ozempic horror." We cover binge eating disorder, fatphobia, bodies (and body dysmorphia), weight loss, GLP-1s, and more. This is a tricky one, but it's also important. Stream it now on Shudder. Tangents include: sandwiches of RVA, favorite words, tinned food, sock WYRs, "the big one," imagined new pop singles, the downfall of AI, fantasy public infrastructure, jumbotron messages, and pet astrology.
Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We've got one heck of an episode in store for you guys as we're talking about 1987's The Hidden and 2021's Significant Other. First off thank you to the fine folks over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. And as always thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally thankful. If you would like to become a Patron, head to patreon.com/cinepunx. Thanks in advance! We briefly talk what we've doing involving horror recently. Liam talks about reading The Snowman. Justin talks about a few of the films he watched for the Fantasia International Film Festival, as well as the film Saccharine and a screening of the 1988 version of The Blob at the Mahoning Drive In. Up first is The Hidden. We talk about how the film is the essential late 80's cop/action film but instead of merely flirting with horror elements it openly embracing them by having the antagonist being a body hopping alien addicted to the human experience. Liam brings up the phenomenon of loving a movie as a kid but being disappointed by it as an adult and how this movie avoids them. Justin talks about how the film also openly embraces every late 80's cultural trope in addition to cop movie tropes. We discuss how the film is the quintessential “one in the morning on HBO back in the day” film. The film's flirtation with the “LA at night”/neon slime subgenre is discussed. We talk about how the film is a rare example of a cop's excessive actions is realistically depicted when a paramedic questions why a victim was shot fifteen times. Liam talks about the film using the tension of the good alien being found out as a source of anxiety. We talk about the somewhat weak narrative that the one cops daughter knowing Kyle McLaughlin's character is an alien actually brings the movie down a notch. We briefly talk about how the sequel likely sucks and the film being an example of something that kind of fell flat when it first came out but later found a wider audience. Justin talks about how his only real problem with the film is how the bad alien is revealed too early. Up next is Significant Other. Justin talks about how the film's twist is what makes it initially watchable and knowing that twist kind of takes away from the film and how the film is an example of the trope where aliens cannot comprehend the concept of love and laments not enjoying the film as much the second time around. Liam talks about how he forgot that he had seen it initially and that the twist comes right when he was becoming overwhelmingly annoyed with the character, and how the concept of the alien as a “frustrated actor” was compelling. We talk about how one of the film's shortcomings is that it doesn't explore the concept of aliens that are so different from humanity that they don't understand love. We further dissect the concept of empathy as an alien idea.

Shudder's new original horror film SACCHARINE left us feeling overfed, bloated and ultimately malnurished. After medical student Hannah begins making her own diet pills from a cadaver, she rapidly loses weight while developing an uncontrollable hunger. Unfortunately, she also attracts the attention of the very large, very angry ghost whose remains she has been consuming. On this New Movie Monday, Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia dig into Natalie Erika James' ambitious body-horror movie. We discuss its grotesque eating sequences, striking direction, body-image themes, Midori Francis' lead performance and an absolutely baffling final scene. Is SACCHARINE a bold personal horror film about addiction, appetite and self-loathing? Is it a beautifully made movie with far too many ideas? And what the hell was that ending supposed to mean? Watch SACCHARINE now on Shudder, then join us for the full spoiler discussion.

Plus, a look at the forgotten Norwegian slasher franchise, Cold Prey.

I'm actually glad to be back at work. Don't get me wrong…I thoroughly enjoy a long holiday weekend with friends, drinks, food, & fireworks. But I also really enjoy my routines. So, being back in the building and getting things done is a wonderful return to reality. We recapped our respective 4th of July weekends and we talked about some of the other stuff that went down over the last three days, including: the Brooklyn bridge catching fire a skydiver who crash-landed but survive a plane that got hit by a firework a kind of ridiculous stat about America's 250th Elsewhere in the news this morning, a recall on a popular dog food & a recall on wire grill brushes, a deadly boating accident on Lake Geneva, In sports, the Brewers had a nice weekend against the D-Backs including a 3-2 win yesterday, Brandon Woodruff is back on the IL, the Miz is going to the All-Star game but likely won't be pitching, Team USA takes on Belgium tonight in the World Cup round of 16…and Folarin Balogun will be on the pitch after President Trump called in a favor to FIFA. Which the Belgium coach isn't very happy about. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and Brian recapped a movie that he & his wife watched this weekend called "Saccharine". Plus, some tidbits about the big celebrity wedding that went down in NYC on Friday. A glimmer of hope in Venezuela after the deadly earthquake last week as a dog was rescued from the rubble eight days later. And check out this new app that can apparently help to predict when someone is going to suffer an asthma attack. Today is "National Fried Chicken Day"…so we hooked you up with some of the deals you can take advantage of to save money. Elsewhere in sports, Chase Briscoe got a win at Chicagoland yesterday, Joey Chestnut won his 18th Mustard Belt on Saturday at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog eating competition, Alexander Ovechkin is coming back for another season, Serena is out at Wimbledon due to an injury, and a Moroccan soccer fan dies when her scarf got caught in the rear wheel of a motorcycle she was riding. A new report about the "ultra-rich" has Brian wondering if he's in the 1%. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a wild brawl involving roofers, a dominatrix that wrapped a guy in Saran-wrap and poured milk all over him, a guy who had his car stolen while he was busy robbing a Verizon store, used breast implants are apparently available to buy online, and an airline that offered a WILD compensation package to anyone willing to give up their seat on a flight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*recorded May 30th, 2026We are back from the dead yet again with a new episode, Critters! Grab your luggage and take the scenic route with us to the 1999 period classic, Sleepy Hollow. Between how the film started out as a garish slasher to the influential, character-driven spooky favorite it is, to a bunch of mispronunciations of "Ichabod" and how our first encounters with the film made this a Halloween perennial, there's much to discuss.

Critic Emma Jones tells us why North Macedonian production "DJ Ahmet", starring first-time actors, is a gem of an independent movie and proof that the small country punches well above its weight when it comes to cinema. We also discuss unsettling thriller "The Plague", starring Joel Edgerton, as a group of teenage boys at a swimming camp prompts comparisons with "Lord of The Flies"-style dynamics. Plus, body horror "Saccharine" explores contemporary obsessions with weight loss and body image, and the "Scary Movie" horror spoof franchise returns for a sixth outing, 26 years after its Y2K debut.
In her third feature (Saccharine, in theaters now and on Shudder in July), Natalie Erika James tackles themes of obsession, disordered eating, and queerness. And while the two movies are VERY different (one a psychological horror, the other a quiet, BAFTA-winning drama), those are all themes Saccharine shares with My Summer of Love, Pawel Pawlikowski's 2004 film that introduced the world to Emily Blunt. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Jane Schoenbrun's upcoming Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which just premiered at Cannes.

Break out the spyglass! It’s time to forecast what is coming in 2026 We’ve got 2025 in the rear view window, and Hollywood has determined to not just relegate horror movies into the fall/Halloween schedule. Springtime apparently is a good time to have a big fear injection. So, we had to get the word out on movies you can anticipate coming to a theater near you! Admittedly, we’re out a little late this year. But, I would suggest we are just in time! Surprisingly, there are a lot of horror movies that are being released in late March. It also happens to be the eve of when many of the big genre film festivals get rolling. Sundance has just completed. SXSW is right on us now. Overlook is around the corner. So is Panic Fest. With these festivals, it sets the table for what you all can expect to come out this year. It becomes a bit of a guessing game for those of us who attend these festivals to predict what films are going to be on the schedule. Horror has proven to be profitable in what used to be a dead period for box office. Already, both Iron Lung ($50 million on a $3 million budget) and Send Help ($92 Million) opened up strong in January, traditionally the dumping ground for cast-off studio films. With the tremendous profitability and critical response to last year’s crop of films, we will see what will become this year’s banner carrier. My guess? Scream 7. There isn’t a studio backed big prestige movie like Sinners or Weapons this year, but I could very easily see a Neve Campbell led Scream 7 into a $300 million earner, much like Final Destinations: Bloodline from last year. If Scream 7 lives up to its potential, it could fly past that number. I don’t think that the effect of last year’s horror boom will be felt until next year’s crop. The studios didn’t have enough time to understand the influence until the season largely wrapped in October, well after prduction had wrapped for most films getting released for 2026. A Good Year for Indie Films? The indie horror films are in abundance this year. SXSW has a huge roster of genre films. Overlook just announced their roster, and so has Panic Fest. Usually there is a lot of overlap, but not so much this year. That suggests a wide variety and a lot of options out there. An that’s not taking into account the large Summer and Fall festivals like Frightfest, Popcorn Frights, and Screamfest. As usual, there will be films that we didn’t see coming because they come with zero fanfare, but end up surprising us with original storytelling or raw savagery. Better yet… both! We always summarize what we did from the previous year, and I think we actually did pretty well in our selections for 2025. You can check out last year’s predictions HERE. Will 2026 be as solid for Scariest Things selections? Listen in, and remember this come the end of the year! Episode 209: Looking Forward to 2026 Note… we announced this one episode off.

Dieser Abnehmpillen-Horrorfilm aus Australien hat es sowohl aufs Sundance Film Festival als auch auf die Berlinale 2026 geschafft. Warum aber, das wissen wir nicht. Daniel und der Kaffeemann sahen darin nur ein schon mehrmals wiederaufgewärmtes Mikrowellengericht, wie ein halbgar aufgetischter Versuch, The Substance und It Follows ohne eigene Würze irgendwie zu vermengen.
