Underworld (AKA The Spirit of Nu Metal) w/ Phoenix Davis
Which kind of horror creature are you? Are you the wet shirtless sewer dwelling kind or the or the dry in lingerie kind?
Underworld is a movie that will have you asking how it can be so full of ideas that seem good on paper and still somehow make something so boring. Guns that shoot bullets full of daylight? A sexy vampire assassin played by Kate Beckinsale? A centuries old blood feud between sexy vampires and sexy werewolves? A secret history? An evil mentor? Werewolf Michael Sheen vs Vampire Bill Nighy? It seems impossible to screw up... and yet!
You do have to admire a movie about vampires and werewolves that constantly tells you that everything you know about vampires, werewolves, and even the details they just told you about the plot up until now is actually wrong!
We're finally talking about Underworld and you don't want to miss it!

Customer Reviews
Horror has never been my thing…
These three have made me a believer. Jeremy, Emily, and Ben bring it every week! Between excellent guests, great selections, monthly themes, and everything else under the sun, I’ve never looked at horror under so many progressive lenses thanks to them. This podcast is your one-stop shop for this genre from spoopy to existentially terrifying!
From Spoopy to Existential Terror..:
One of my legit favorite horror podcasts- or just podcasts all around- Progressively Horrified is a blast and another reason to rejoice when Friday rolls around.
The vibe is pure hang-out session, with Jeremy, Emily and Ben/Bee as delightful hosts, easily bringing each guest into the fold and approaching horror films from all across the genreverse with good humor, and a relevant modern social lens with which to view it.
It’s great stuff- like listening in on the brilliant conversation in another booth at a diner- and no artist or filmmaker is held in so high in regard that their missteps and mistakes cannot be acknowledged and examined. And the hosts are happy to examine their own preconceptions, and the baggage they bring into every movie! There isn’t another podcast that I know that feels as welcoming. I’m just glad I found Progressively Horrified!
Chemistry so good the product should be illegal
Super entertaining and in depth recaps of sometimes great and sometimes terrible horror movies. Moving beyond the blood and guts and jumpscares to talk about the politics that lie underneath the glossy surface. Jeremy, Emily, Ben/Bee and a rotating panel of guests keep the conversation lively and entertaining! Check it out!
