Babes From The Black Lagoon The lady horror podcast you've been waiting for.

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. On this week's episode, The Babes cover a film that makes you not want to go to any remote, haunted destinations anytime soon - It’s the iconic, unsettling 1980’s horror-thriller: “The Shining”. We chop down the bathroom door to analyze the other side of the horrors of isolation, sinister obsession, telepathic heroes, AND how genius shouldn’t come before human decency. After you check-in, let’s jump on our tricycles, grab that bat, and have a drink with Llyod in the Gold Room. ITTTTT’S THE SHINING!
This movie depicts themes of murder s*ic*de, child de*th, abuse, violence, and psychological intensity.

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.
