  • EP 20: Damn we LOVE adaptations!
    2024/12/20

    What if a traumatic experience revealed you had a powerful, unexpected defense mechanism—like literal teeth in your VAGINA? Chomp chomp! On this week’s episode, The Babes sink their teeth into the twisted, darkly comedic 2007 coming-of-age horror film, Teeth. Join us as we sink our chompers into this film's sharp edges by exploring themes of purity culture, the fear of female power, toxic male entitlement (UGH - don’t get us started), creepy step brothers, and so much MORE. We dissect the societal pressures on women to remain “pure” and why it’s time to reclaim that narrative. Alrighty, Lagoonies! Grab your “Sex Changes Everything” t-shirt and stay vigilant out there because this world has TEETH.

  • EP 19 SAINT MAUD: Godgasms Aint It, Girl
    2024/11/22

    Unresolved trauma and self-righteousness…does it lead to spiritual awakening? Or spiral out into vivid hallucinations and self-destruction? On this week’s episode, The Babes pray at the altar of the 2019 horror-drama St. Maude. We confess our thoughts on the intersections of faith, isolation, repression and mental health. We had a lot to say on the risks of unchecked religious zeal and the potential for spiritual beliefs to become harmful when they separate one from reality.

    Let us pray to the one and only Saint Maud.

  • EP 18 THE SUBSTANCE: Babushka Goblin and the Fingerrrrr
    2024/10/25

    On this SEASON TWO premiere episode, The Babes cover a vvvery special film that had us feeling SO much: The beautifully grotesque, 2024 horror/sci-fi movie of the year so far - The Substance. We try to pump it up while discussing the toxicities of self-destruction, ageism and the pursuit of beauty. So, with that - It’s time to curl that last strand, jam that earring in, keep the balance and take one more healthy dose of The Substance.

    This film depicts themes of gore, body horror, body dysmorphia, abuse, psychological intensity, drug use, and violence.

    I guess if you had a little boy named “Tony” who lived in your mouth, and hid in your stomach you gotta trust your gut, right? Especially when shit is about to hit the fan.

  • EP 14 THE CRAFT: Justice for Rachel True
    2024/04/26

    We’re STILL the weirdos Mister!

    The comfort of the 90’s witchy aesthetic is one of the Wonders of the World, and we MUST protect it at all costs. We give thanks to grunge all black outfits, dark brown lipstick, knee high socks, and combat boots. Blessed Be! On this episode, The Babes cover the beloved 1996 horror drama, and cult classic - The Craft. This film calls the corners of the occult, the power of sisterhood, prejudice, and that it’s cool to be a weirdo. This was a fun one, and this movie has bewitched us with a glamor spell - consensually, of course. Light your candles, sit in a circle with your coven and invoke the spirit of The Craft.
