3.09 - Kang Good, Intro Bad: Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania Review
Should Ant-Man and the Wasp been the perfect franchise to introduce Kang? My thoughts on that, how bad the MCU has to recover post-Jonathan Majors, and why I had to step away from the MCU and moviegoing altogether...

3.07 - "Woke" is the New _______ (Welcome Back)
A personal rant about the misuse and appropriation of the word/idea of "woke," and how using it as a tool of 'review' is very sus. That's it. That's the description.

3.06 - Sacrificial/Magical Negroes with Ryan "Brother Ghoulish" Kinney
Do the Sacrificial Negro and Magical Negro go hand in hand? In short, yes. But my special guest Brother Ghoulish and I start at that question and explore if Blacks in Horror can truly escape the trope in modern horror and the ways it still echoes in certain characters and films. It's not a deep dive, but a beginners trek.

Working overnights is a b*tch, and having animatronic machines stalking doesn't help matters. My review of Blumhouse's adaptation of the popular video game and media franchise Five Nights at Freddy's.

3.04 - The Party is Over: Night of the Demons 3 and Night of the Demons (2009)
Angela's still up to her tricks, but not the kind you take home and ravage after a good night of trick or treating. Listen as I discuss my ire for the lackluster closer to the Night of the Demons trilogy and the 2009 remake that shines on its own but not to its namesake.

Customer Reviews
Awesome horror conversations
Mark does such a great job of breaking films down, discussing all angles and sides of the film and giving fair critiques. It’s great to listen to someone who is intelligent and well versed in the genre without being pretentious and can appreciate all levels of horror films, not just the high end films. Highly recommend!
CRUCIAL Listening!
Just discovered Mark Estes’ podcast Midnight Social Distortion, and it is one of the most stellar, informational, brilliant, and educational horror podcasts ever. I seriously cannot wait for more episodes. Representation in horror is so important (yet often so incredibly rare to come by!), and he covers topics that EVERYONE, *not just horror fans,* should hear! I learned so, so, so much, and will be listening and re-listening again and again! I wish I could give more stars.
The Podcast We Needed
I’m so here for this already!!
