    Zombieland

    Zombieland

    The late 2000s were a wild time full of eyeliner, heavy bangs, and Jesse Eisenberg. On this week's episode, we explore the seminal classic Zombieland, which mostly holds up except for its excessive whiteness, indigenous erasure, and overt fatphobia. But Woody Harrelson in a snake-skin jacket is very hot so it's worth a watch.

Come for the podcast, stay for the memes

Rebecca and Abigail are such a great duo! The podcast is smart, funny, well-researched and they are really focused on intersectional perspectives. But it was the Jason mask / croc Instagram mashup that really stole my heart <3

Five Stars!

While not typically a huge fan of the horror genre, I absolutely love The Spooky Succubus Cast! The hosts do a great job of explaining the plot of a variety of different horror movies (there’s honestly something for everyone’s taste) and then examining it with an anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and feminist lens. The hosts are smart and funny, and I really enjoy listening to them every week.

I hate horror movies but love this podcast

As a rule, I don’t watch horror movies, but this podcast might change my mind. Each episode is fun, super informative, and easy and interesting to follow even if you haven’t watched the films! The hosts are knowledgeable but self-deprecating and always ready to call out racist, sexist, or misogynistic tropes. Their banter is good and movie recaps are excellent!
