Ahh! Real Films Taylor & Curtis

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Curtis and Taylor as we discuss films set in some of the spoooookiest locations--graveyards and cemeteries! We discuss if cemeteries are scary and what the origin of our fears of them are. It gets very philosophical; also, we talk about how our Meme lives across the street from an old New England cemetery--spooky! Then we discuss two films, one of which oops we have covered before! Where does our fear of burial places stem from? Is it possible to find beauty in such places? Does really bad dubbing ruin a movie? What would your punk name be? Speaking of punks, have you listened to Jojo Siwa's new song? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Curtis and Taylor as we discuss one of our most masculine topics ever – chosen by our FEMALE (yes, I like sounding like a Ferengi) host! – classic mythology in movies featuring entirely male casts. How this wasn’t a Curtis topic, we may never know, but regardless we delve into the Greek and Norse mythology that influences the movies that we are discussing, as well as how well those themes are expressed in the film. And, of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t give you some great background from sources such as “ancienthistory.org” and “Den of Geek” (we are eternally indebted to you, Den of Geek). Do dudes, in fact, rock? Is it okay for a man to cry after one of his friends dies, or should he wait until that number reaches four? Is a fart always funny? And is it bad luck to cheers water? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Curtis and Taylor as we discuss something Curtis has been clamoring for for no less than four years--video game horror movie adaptations! Curtis spends about half of the episode talking about various video games and we know this is an audio medium so we will just inform you that Taylor's eyes were FULLY glazed over. But don't worry we actually get to the movies eventually and don't worry again, they ARE stinkers!! What makes a video game tricky to translate into a movie? How is the horror of a film different from that of a video game? Did Roger Ebert like video games? Has Taylor ever played a non-lifestyle video game (Stardew Valley fans, sound off)? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Curtis and Taylor as we introduce our new episode format – VERSUS! In these episodes, we will take two movies that have similar themes – in this one, crocs/gators – and pit them against each other to see which one you should check out. We know our listeners and long time fans love these episodes, so we thought, hmm how do we give them more? That’s just how much we love our devoted fans – wow! What’s the difference between a croc and a gator? Is “Mr. Two Bits” more horrifying than our actual movies? Which is the best town named “Lake Placid”? And is it okay to call the Pure La Croix “Puro”? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Curtis and Taylor as we discuss HIGH ART aka directors who don't normally focus solely on blood and guts aka films by directors that have only made one horror movie! We discuss what sets horror from a directing perspective apart before getting into our two (really good) films! Why does horror have such a dedicated roster of directors? How is directing a horror film different than other kinds of films? Is four years away from filmmaking really considered a "retirement"? Should we have done four shots of baiju each while watching the Super Bowl the night before? Listen and find out!!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Curtis and Taylor as we bring back a old topic from beyond the grave (or, at least, from 2021) – our New Years Horror Resolutions! In this episode, we discuss films in horror subgenres that we want to explore more in the coming months, which we will update as the year goes on. Wow – such fun! (And, honestly, a good way to make sure we’re not just rewatching Suspiria and Mary Kate and Ashley movies all year). How well did we do with our last horror New Years’ resolutions? Does eating home insulation count as body horror? Was witch hunting actually okay and should we bring it back? And should Curtis maybe stop sitting on (and falling off of) the yoga ball? Listen and find out!!
