    Nikki and Tiffany Take Sundance!

    Pod People, have you missed us? We took a much-needed break during January and February 2026, but we are back, baby, with a very special episode about our adventures at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival! Yes, we traipsed to the mountains of Park City, Utah, to catch incredible film premieres and do a little celeb sighting. And boy do we have stories!  Listen to us talk about the blessing that was Sergio, Nikki using game theory and the power of the interwebs to score us tickets that we definitely didn't get prior to arriving in Utah, and our spoiler-free thoughts on the films we were lucky enough to see:  Saccharine (Horror) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35050712/  Closure (Documentary) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39075417/  I Want Your Sex (Dark Erotic Comedy) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32332915/  zi (Drama) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39150111/  Leviticus (Horror) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39143902/  undertone (Horror) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35892608/  Rock Springs (Horror) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33999471/ Midnight Short Film Program (Horror) - https://festival.sundance.org/program/short-info/693324631a5535814191fcc0  Twitter - @HorrorMargins Facebook - @HorrorInTheMarginsPodcast Instagram - @horrorinthemargins TikTok - @horrorinthemargins If there's a movie you'd like us to review or a creator you'd like us to interview, send us an email at horrorinthemargins@gmail.com.

    Film Discussion: Vic Effects + Planning for Sundance Film Festival!

    Pod People, it's a new year! The horrors persist, but so do we. We hope 2026 is off to a great start for you, and if it isn't, perhaps a new episode will help to soothe the soul?  In this episode, we discuss Vic Effects, an indie psychological horror film that's currently making the rounds at film festivals! We were lucky enough to receive a screener from writer and director Chris Shern, and friend-of-the-pod Katelin Stack plays The Woman in it. Since this film isn't widely distributed yet, no big spoilers, but we still have a hearty conversation about foley artistry, that trippy moment when art and reality blur, DIY horror, meta storytelling, and obsession.  We also talk about some of the films that are premiering at Sundance Film Festival, which we'll be attending later this month. And you better believe you'll get a full report of that trip on a future episode.  PS - This episode was recorded prior to the new year, so there are discussions of the holidays and December, and why does it already feel like it's been three months since then?

    2025 in Horror...Thus Far!

    Pod People, it's been an exceptional year for the horror genre, so we decided to pause so we could take stock of some of the media we've enjoyed thus far. We talk the films Weapons, Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines, and more, as well as some books we've loved, including Old Soul by Susan Barker, Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang, Diavola by Jennifer Thorne, and The Skin You're In by Ashley Robin Franklin, and more.  Obviously, this is nowhere near an exhaustive list, and after we recorded this episode, a whole wave of films hit theaters for October, so there is much to celebrate. Horror is alive and well!  We want to hear from you! What horror media have you really enjoyed this year? Share it with us, and we just might shout you out on a future episode!   Twitter - @HorrorMargins Facebook - @HorrorInTheMarginsPodcast Instagram - @horrorinthemargins TikTok - @horrorinthemargins If there's a movie you'd like us to review or a creator you'd like us to interview, send us an email at horrorinthemargins@gmail.com.

    Film Discussion: Tiffany's Birthday Pick - THE DESCENT!

    Pod People, your intrepid hosts both turned 40 this year, and we decided that called for celebration! How are we celebrating on the pod? We each picked one of our all-time favorite horror films to revisit and discuss in depth. First, we discussed Nikki's pick, Alien, and now it's time to go low, low, low, low, low, low, low with Tiffany's pick, Neil Marshall's The Descent (2005). Join us as we discuss why this movie (and Final Destination) made us afraid of following cars hauling damn near anything, the terror of betrayal (especially within female friend groups), cave spelunking gone wrong, the incredible set design that brought these caves to life, lakes of blood...or something like that, and the original ending that was just too bleak to show in theaters in the U.S.  Twitter - @HorrorMargins Facebook - @HorrorInTheMarginsPodcast Instagram - @horrorinthemargins TikTok - @horrorinthemargins If there's a movie you'd like us to review or a creator you'd like us to interview, send us an email at horrorinthemargins@gmail.com.

    Creator Interview: Lee Murray

    Let's talk beauty standards, cultural assimilation, body horror, and filmmaking, Pod People! In this episode, we chat with award-winning Aotearoan Lee Murray about the film Grafted, on which she was a writer. We discuss how she brought her lived experience as a third generation Chinese New Zealander to the script for Grafted, the relatable desire to fit in even at the cost of cultural identity, Lee's favorite bloody scene from the film, and Asian representation within the genre.  As of the recording of this episode, Grafted was streaming on Shudder. Go check it out!  Visit Lee's website to learn more about her incredible work: https://www.leemurray.info/ Stay spooky, Pod People!  Twitter - @HorrorMargins Facebook - @HorrorInTheMarginsPodcast Instagram - @horrorinthemargins TikTok - @horrorinthemargins If there's a movie you'd like us to review or a creator you'd like us to interview, send us an email at horrorinthemargins@gmail.com.

    Film Discussion: Nikki's Birthday Pick - ALIEN!

    Pod People, your intrepid hosts both turned 40 this year, and we decided that called for celebration! How are we celebrating on the pod? We each picked one of our all-time favorite horror films to revisit and discuss in depth. First up is Nikki's pick - Ridley Scott's Alien (1979). Join us as we explore space in the Nostromo, ogle over mama-Xenomorph's wet-wet-wet grandeur, and empathize with the shit Jonesy has seen (poor kitty!). We discuss Sigourney Weaver's killer performance, the use of offal and milk for practical effects, and why the film endures as a personal favorite of ours.
