    Episode S07E11: Death Becomes Her

    Sometimes even we want a break from the unrelenting horrors. We decided to mix it up just a bit and have some fun with the slapstick supernatural noir/horror comedy that is 1992's Death Becomes Her. Don't worry, it's still got plenty of darkness to dissect. But it also has a bunch of amazing women we love to watch and also a herd of manservants, so that's nice.

    Episode S07E10: Let's Scare Jessica to Death

    The "woman trapped in 70s psychological horror" well never runs dry for us. We go back for a low-key classic of the genre, 1971's Let's Scare Jessica to Death. We cover: folk horror, vampires, lesbians, and the weirdest instrument case ever made.

    Episode S07E09: Cure

    When you're up for a bad time, Kiyoshi Kurosawa always comes through. We discuss the "tortured detective pursues a serial killer and finds an existential crisis" tale that is Kurosawa's 1997 masterpiece Cure.

    Episode S07E08: The Bride!

    Strap in, there's a lot to cover in director Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! We like its moxie, but are mixed on its results. Highlights include: the modern depiction of Frankie, Jessie Buckley's ferocity, and the unequivocal support for messy and mad women.

    Episode S07E07: Stir of Echoes

    We haven't covered many 90s horror movies because they tended to be not subtle or ... good. But Stir of Echoes is something of an overlooked psychological horror gem, in a 90s, blue-collar, Kevin Bacon sort of way. Join us for a discussion about themes of social commentary ahead of their time, indie queen Illeana Douglas and how we definitely can't afford a house in that neighborhood of Chicago anymore (it's more relevant to the film than it sounds like, promise).

    Episode S07E06: The Last Sacrifice

    We tackle our first documentary with The Last Sacrifice, a sprawling look at the 1945 murder that inspired the story behind The Wicker Man and, by extension, the folk horror film genre and modern paganism. Like the doc, our discussion moves from the inciting incident and into why we think stories like these endure. Also, a moment of silence for never getting the opportunity to be 1970s witches.

    Episode S07E05: The House with Laughing Windows

    We found the ideal "quiet little horror as giallo"—1976's The House with Laughing Windows. We discuss weird Italian towns, brightly-lit attics, and this film's overlap with folk horror. Also: what's in that bag?

    Episode S07E04: Black Narcissus

    In which we continue our Powell and Pressburger coverage and identity three primary life lessons: men should wear more shorts, don't repress your emotions and thus lose your mind, and no colonialism. Let's talk about Black Narcissus.
