What’s happening, spooky folk? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Rikki Tikki Timber to break down Jordan Peele’s psychological horror film Get Out.

We explore how Peele uses suspense, dark humor, and disturbing visuals to highlight themes of racism, identity erasure, and control. From the unforgettable “Sunken Place” scene to the coded language of liberal hypocrisy at the Armitage family’s dinner party, we dissect the film’s layered metaphors and social commentary.

We also examine key characters like Chris, Rose, and Rod, and how their roles reflect broader societal dynamics. Together, we dive into the symbolism behind the mysterious "Behold the Coagula" and the Death Cheetah vs. Matter poster in Chris's apartment—unpacking how they enrich the narrative’s deeper messages.

Plus, we discuss the film’s original, darker ending and why Jordan Peele chose to give audiences a rare moment of triumph. This episode is meant to be a tense, thoughtful, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation, but it’s Rikki and I, so we got jokes that are probably not ok.

What’s up, humans? This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Chad and Eugene to break down the 2025 sci-fi horror film Companion.

We explore the existential and ethical questions the film raises: Are sentient machines deserving of rights? What defines humanity and self-awareness? We also praise standout performances, such as Sophie Thatcher’s evolution from naive companion to self-aware survivor, and Jack Quaid’s portrayal of a manipulative partner.

We make comparisons to Ex Machina, M3GAN, and Black Mirror, and discuss the film’s major twists. Wrapping up, we, each give a Good, Bad, and Ugly, along with our final scoring of the film. We also weigh in on whether Companion adds anything new to the AI horror conversation or just reboots familiar fears with a glossy finish.

What’s up, sleepy heads? This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Jon Yoe as we dive into the nightmares of Springwood to compare A Nightmare on Elm Street from 1984 and its 2010 reimagining. In this episode, we explore how Wes Craven's original reshaped the slasher genre by blending supernatural terror with psychological depth, and introduced one of horror’s most unforgettable villains—Freddy Krueger. We break down the surreal, dream-fueled horror of the original, Freddy’s evolution into a charismatic icon, and how themes like teenage trauma, distrust in authority, and fear of sleep made it a genre-defining film.

Then we shift to the 2010 remake, which aimed to bring a grittier, more grounded version of Freddy to modern audiences. We unpack its emphasis on repressed trauma, psychological realism, and the stark shift in Freddy’s portrayal—from theatrical killer to cold predator.

We also compare the similarities and key differences between the two films, before closing out with a look at the cultural legacy of Elm Street, Freddy’s influence on horror history, and why the remake didn’t quite strike the same chord.

Whether you’re team New Line Cinema or team Platinum Dunes, this episode slices into what makes A Nightmare on Elm Street a pillar of horror—and why Freddy Krueger continues to haunt our collective subconscious.
