The It Couple
Married couple Dan and SJ St. Germain watch a horror movie on date night and then talk about it on their podcast with one of their hilarious friends. Think The Last Drive In meets How Did This Get Made. Each week they tackle the best and worst of horror in hopes of Dan showing Sara something scarier than being married to him.

David Koechner (The Office, Anchorman) joins Dan and SJ to chat about a movie he starred in, the yuletide horror comedy Krampus. They talk about why David calls it a Family Horror film, David's experience shooting the movie in New Zealand, the incredible practical effects work by WETA Workshop, David's idea for a Krampus 2 musical, and how new audiences find the movie every Christmas season.
SJ, Dan, and Spaventa break down the recent action-comedy-horror movie Renfield. They talk about the many reasons the movie feels like a first draft, Nic Cage's successful effort to play Dracula with no goofiness, the group therapy scenes falling completely flat, Nicholas Hoult and Awkwafina being totally miscast, the movie's very fun gory violence, and how Cage feels wasted even though he's the best part of the movie.

Colton Haynes (Teen Wolf, Arrow) joins SJ and Dan to talk about 90's teen witchcraft movie The Craft. They discuss how the movie is basically X-Men written by the board of a women's college, if they would have been friends with the girls in high school, the meanness of high schoolers in movies of the 90s, and if the movie is scary or not.

Dan, SJ, and Spaventa discuss the Hulu alien horror film No One Will Save You. They talk about which scenes feel like Home Alone, if the design of the aliens feels scary, comparisons to Signs, whether we think the movie would have done well as a theatrical release, acting without dialogue, Kaitlyn Dever's creepy dresses, modern horror's overreliance on trauma as character backstory, and the ending feeling like a birth control comme...
SJ and Dan cover another Stephen King adaptation, the paranormal horror The Boogeyman. They talk about why the Boogeyman is a lame monster, the generic horror villain trope of feeding on fear, and how they completely disagree about what happens at the end of the movie.
The Boogeyman (2023)
Directed by Rob Savage
Written by Scott Beck, Bryan Woods, and Mark Heyman

Dan and Sara welcome Sam Roberts (Jim and Sam Show) to discuss the classic 90s slasher Scream. They talk about if the rules of horror the movie lays out really matter, why Scream is better than most of the movies it celebrates, the method used to keep Rose McGowan stuck in the doggie door, the Psycho quote that does not land, and how Matthew Lillard's character makes the entire movie work.

SJ and Dan are joined by Brent Sullivan (You're Making It Worse podcast) to discuss the original Hellraiser. They talk about Pinhead's World War I veteran backstory, the on-set maggot wrangler, Clive Barker's bad alternative title ideas, and a very Hunter Biden scene.
Hellraiser (1987)
Written and Directed by Clive Barker
Starring Doug Bradley, Clare Higgins, Andrew Robinson, Ashley Laurence, and Sean Chapman
Dan, SJ, and Spaventa discuss the "Evil Macaulay Culkin" movie The Good Son. They talk about how Culkin's character isn't that different from Kevin McCallister in Home Alone, Elijah Wood's dad dumping him at his distant relatives' house immediately after his mother's death, the Augustus Gloop moment, and the ridiculous last line of the movie.
The Good Son (1993)
Directed by Joseph Ruben
Written by Ian McEwan
Starring Elijah Wood,...
Jon Gabrus (ActionBoyz, High and Mighty podcasts) joins Dan and SJ to discuss body horror classic The Fly! They talk about why we need more remakes of bad movies, the nightmarish image of fingernails falling off, why this is the most pro-abortion movie of all time, how Cronenberg shows Goldblum's gradual transition to Brundlefly, Mel Brooks refusing to be in the movie, and Dan merging with a bedbug in Seth's machine.
The Fly (198...
