Two Chicks and a Horror Flick

We are stoked to be talking about another Zach Cregger film! Just like an incredible pasta, the longer we marinate on this movie the more we like it!

Tangents include: Trainwreck Area 51, Final Destination, and stickers.

If you have seen Weapons we would love to know what you thought abou...

This week we’re diving headfirst into the eerie world of underground Russian occultism with the Philippou brothers’ latest film, Bring Her Back. Known for their breakout hit Talk to Me, the brothers return with another grief-soaked, nerve-shredding horror that has us obsessed. We explore the shared themes of grief, possession, and loss... and ask: are these two films connected in other ways? Tangents include: Netflix's Trainwr...

This week, we jam through Ryan Coogler’s ambitious vampire blues-horror set in 1932 Mississippi. Sinners isn’t your average blood-sucker flick—it’s a visceral, soulful tale of identity, community, and the cost of cultural exploitation. Its lush visuals, haunting blues score, and powerful performances—especially Michael B. Jordan’s dual turn—make it one memorable ride. Tangents include: Tacotopia, incels, fireflies, Tawny’s Nope-lik...

This week, we’re diving into the deeply weird and wildly original world of Grafted, the Shudder original sci-fi body horror that had us both squirming and thinking.

Directed by Sasha Rainbow in her feature debut, Grafted follows a brilliant but socially isolated student who inherits her father’s controversial experiments… and let’s just say things get messy. Identity, obsession, grief, and stitched-up science collide in this surreal...

We're back with our April episode on Longlegs! This movie generated so much buzz and certainly did well at the box office last year, but what in the hell was going on in the movie? We try to parse the plot while constantly getting hung up on metal balls. Both of us agree that the atmosphere of this movie is great, there's a lot of things to like, but ultimately it didn't come together in the execution. Tangents inclu...

To wrap up Horror Romance Month, we’re diving into Happy Death Day! This film uniquely blends genres, offering a fresh take where the romance isn’t the source of horror. Instead, we get a wholesome love story within a slasher-horror-comedy. And on top of all that, who doesn’t love a good time loop?! Tangents include: Apple Cider Vinegar and Bump Its.

If you have seen Happy Death Day we would love to know what you thought about it! L...
