    Satan Baby: Inside (2007) & The Leech (2022)

    Ever wonder what it is about Christmas horror and unwanted pregnancy? Don’t worry, we’ve got this and several other dubious holiday needs covered. This episode, Candace and Ariel are talking about infamous and oddly goofy New French Extreme home invasion nightmare Inside (2007), as well as a different sort of home invasion (bad roommates) in indie horror comedy The Leech (2022).  This will be our last episode for 2023, and as always we’re so thrilled to have you with us, listeners. Whatever your plans for this final stretch of the year, we hope you can take us with you and check out these nasty little Christmas movies. Please heed our warning and do not watch the 2016 remake of Inside — unless you’re into that sort of thing. We’ll be back in 2024 with more soul-crushing content.  A proud part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network. Our drive for intersectionality aligns well with the Morbidly Beautiful ethos.

    Down the Rabbit Hole: The Empty Man (2020) & Broadcast Signal Intrusion (2021) w/ Andrew Jara

    This one goes all the way to the top… or does it? Candace and Ariel are joined by filmmaker and fellow podcaster Andrew Jara to talk about (suspiciously?) underwatched mind bending conspiracy moves – creepypasta/urban legend-inspired thriller The Empty Man (2020), and the atmospheric and noir-ish Broadcast Signal Intrusion (2021) Our connection was a little spotty during this recording, so please forgive us if we accidentally a word or sentence here or there. Also, please be warned, we do address sexual assault and suicide in our discussion, though these topics aren’t directly portrayed in either film.  Check out our guest Andrew’s podcast, The Bomb Squad as well as his new film, The Empty Space, out May 30th.  A proud part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

    Just Deserts: Zzyzyx (2006) & Horror in the High Desert (2021)

    This double feature is all about deceptive appearances, mysterious disappearances, and the cruel and beautiful landscape that serves as their backdrop. It’s desert horror, ghouls, and we’re talking about subtly supernatural thriller, Zzyzx (2006), and mockumentary style found footage film, Horror in the High Desert (2021).  Content note: one of these films, Zzyzx, deals with sexual violence, and our discussion covers that.  This double feature is all about deceptive appearances, mysterious disappearances, and the cruel and beautiful landscape that serves as their backdrop.

We kept this one spoiler-light, but not free, so we recommend you give these both a watch if you’re wanting to be surprised. You can find both of these movies for free on Tubi.
