For the month of January, Nichole is chatting about a couple of her favorite horror films from 2024. First up?

Terry and Joe kick off 2025 with a look at David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises (2007), which reunites the director with collaborator Viggo Mortensen.

For the final episode of 2024, Nichole is going seasonal with 2021’s French horror film, The Advent Calendar - a film that mixes fairy tale or parable vibes with the tried and true enchanted/evil object (think a Monkey’s Paw type story, but make it Christmas!) There are time-tested tropes around disability and disabled characters, but the film give…

We're tackling the Showtime limited series in three "Part" (ie: episode) chunks, with discussions on returning vs new (cameo!) characters, Kyle MacLachlan's stunning three role turn, and Terry's belief that Alan Wake 2 may have secretly been based on the show. Wanna conn…

Gena, Jenn, and Joe close out another year of White Ladies in Crisis with a look at Quebecois thriller Red Rooms (2023).

It's cold, clinical and kinda fa…

Nichole is talking about the satirical comedy meets body horror film, Sick of Myself, which has a pretty wicked view on disability and victimhood in a social media world. Do disabled folks post our hospital selfies for clout? Are we actually sick, or do we make it up for to the likes and attention? Signe is a complicated character and Nichole is ex…

Terry and Joe continue their way through Cronenberg's filmography with a look at Josh Olson's adaptation of John Wagner and Vince Locke's comic A History of Violence (2005). We're all in on this one, particularly the performances by Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello. Plus: rapey stair sex, a stacked supporting cast, gorgeous cinematography and debate…

For this episode, Nichole is going into M. Night Shyamalan territory with 2015’s The Visit. Seen as a return to form after a string of films not well-received, this film hits a lot of high notes but does something we have come to talk a bit about here on the pod: the intersection of ableism and ageism at the heart of the old people are creepy trope…
