Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

For the month of January, Nichole is chatting about a couple of her favorite horror films from 2024. First up? Tilman Singer’s incredibly strange and haunting Cuckoo, starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens.

This is definitely not a film that will hit with everyone, but the connection that forms between Gretchen, and her mute sister, Alma, is lovely. The film also touches on themes of bodily autonomy in some interesting and unexpected ways.

Terry and Joe kick off 2025 with a look at David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises (2007), which reunites the director with collaborator Viggo Mortensen.

We're all in on the naked bath fight, but less invested in Naomi Watts' character and the baby drama.

Plus: wishing for more queer content, Viggo's subdued performance, and comparisons to A History of Violence.

For the final episode of 2024, Nichole is going seasonal with 2021’s French horror film, The Advent Calendar - a film that mixes fairy tale or parable vibes with the tried and true enchanted/evil object (think a Monkey’s Paw type story, but make it Christmas!)

There are time-tested tropes around disability and disabled characters, but the film gives breathing space to encourage reflection on the inner conflict of internalized ableism and the battle with self-doubt that comes with being employed and disabled.

Want to reach out and say hi, share your thoughts on The Advent Calendar, or suggest a film to cover? Reach out via email to [email protected]. She can also be found on BlueSky at bodiesofhorror.

Terry and Joe return to Twin Peaks with...well..Twin Peaks: The Return (2017).

We're tackling the Showtime limited series in three "Part" (ie: episode) chunks, with discussions on returning vs new (cameo!) characters, Kyle MacLachlan's stunning three role turn, and Terry's belief that Alan Wake 2 may have secretly been based on the show.

Gena, Jenn, and Joe close out another year of White Ladies in Crisis with a look at Quebecois thriller Red Rooms (2023).

The Pascal Plante thriller features an unknowable female protagonist (is she a sadist? A sociopath? A Lisbeth Salander-type vigilante?) and considers society's macabre fascination with true crime. It's cold, clinical and kinda fantastic!

Plus: praise for lead Juliette Gariépy, the long take opening, a stunning Bitcoin conversion, and why we don't need an "ending explained" explanation for the film.

Nichole is talking about the satirical comedy meets body horror film, Sick of Myself, which has a pretty wicked view on disability and victimhood in a social media world. Do disabled folks post our hospital selfies for clout? Are we actually sick, or do we make it up for to the likes and attention? Signe is a complicated character and Nichole is excited to explore how illness becomes her identity.

Terry and Joe continue their way through Cronenberg's filmography with a look at Josh Olson's adaptation of John Wagner and Vince Locke's comic A History of Violence (2005).

We're all in on this one, particularly the performances by Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello. Plus: rapey stair sex, a stacked supporting cast, gorgeous cinematography and debate if this is Cronenberg's contemporary masterpiece.

For this episode, Nichole is going into M. Night Shyamalan territory with 2015’s The Visit. Seen as a return to form after a string of films not well-received, this film hits a lot of high notes but does something we have come to talk a bit about here on the pod: the intersection of ableism and ageism at the heart of the old people are creepy trope.

With Inland Empire (2006), Terry and Joe reach the end of David Lynch's feature film output!

We're talking filming in Poland, the way women are treated, Laura Dern's stunning (not Oscar nominated) performance, and how the film brings Lynch's themes and priorities full circle back to Eraserhead.

Plus: musical moments, bunnies, and challenges with sound in this THREE HOUR MOVIE.

November is National Family caregivers Month and, for better or worse, The Front Room (2024) has quite a bit to say about caregiving (the title is a reference to a bedroom in the house reserved for an older loved one when they move in for additional care). While the film delves into harmful tropes, it also puts some aspects of caregiving that we don't often talk about in the spotlight and there's merit in discussing them.

Terry and Joe are back with their first Cronenberg title of the season and...it's not great.

Spider (2002) has an intriguing premise and a flawed execution. The scenes in the past are more successful, but Ralph Fiennes' contemporary bits are dull and often unconvincing.

For this episode, Nichole digs into both the 2022 and 2024 versions of Speak No Evil and specifically the character(s) of Abel/Ant - the young boy that we are told has congenital aglossia. How does lack of communication make him more vulnerable to abuse? Why doesn’t anyone ask more pointed questions about how to communicate with him? How do the ending of both films, especially where we leave the character, speak to how we value the lives of folks with disabilities?

In this episode, Nichole talks about the 2023 award-winning film, Poor Things. Much of the discussion around this film has focused on gender, gender roles, and sexual autonomy but there is a fair bit to say about how disability is very present in this film – particularly with the characters of Bella and Godwin.

Gena, Jenn and Joe return to discuss William Friedkin's 2006 adaptation of Tracy Letts' stageplay of the same name, Bug. C/W: self-harm

This is a film that will <gulp> get under your skin, but it's the tragedy of the narrative, the stunning performances by Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon, and the disorienting editing that have us talking.

Plus: Shannon's villain face, romance and conspiracy theories, Joe's love of Lynn Collins' R.C., and that devastating ending.

Nichole saw In A Violent in theaters but held off on recording an episode before watching it a second time because she had pretty visceral reaction to her first viewing.

In a Violent Nature finds us in familiar territory: campers teens taking on the zombie/reanimated adult form of a child – with a developmental disability – that accidentally died in the area. It doesn’t go for the campers and it didn’t go well for Nichole on either of her two watches.

Bryan and Joe discuss the Eisner-nominated comic anthology Tapping The Vein (1989) which adapts the most memorable stories from Books of Blood.

Since we've already discussed the narrative, we're focusing primarily on the art...and it's a mixed bag! Which ones do we like and which ones feel defanged?

Gamer Terry gets into this first-time watch in its confusing back half, but finds plenty to love in the production design and Howard Shore's score.

Plus: comparisons to The Matrix, "commit to the bit" actors like Law and Dafoe, and discussions aplenty about the world as simulation.

Bryan and Joe check out Clive Barker's first screenplay, Underworld aka Transmutations (1985).

This George Pavlou (Rawhead Rex) film was plagued by producer interference, so much so that Barker has notoriously disowned it. For good reason! It's boring, has a soap opera aesthetic, and features an icky romance between Nicole (18 year old Nicola Cowper) and Roy Bain (38 year old Larry Lamb).

Plus: kernels of Nightbreed and Lord of Illusions, early Miranda Richardson, and a confounding ending

Terry and Joe close out the David Lynch side of S03 with a very unorthodox text: 1999's The Straight Story.

Or maybe it just seems odd. On closer inspection, though, there are clear Lynchian elements; they're just lurking under the surface!

Plus: an Oscar-nominated performance by Richard Farnsworth, hitting deer on the highway, and an out of control lawnmower action sequence.

After a brief venture into crime thrillers, David Cronenberg made a return to the body horror subgenre with 2022’s Crimes of the Future. He brought along his current go-to actor, Viggo Mortensen, to tell the story of an aging performance artist whose partner…uses an eXistenZ style device to cut out the extra organs he grows regularly. As one does on a Tuesday evening.

I am joined by the incredibly funny and thoughtful Gena Radcliffe (from Kill by Kill Podcast and AOAS’s very own White Ladies in Crisis) to go deep into this film’s message about aging, illness and disease, disability, and evolution.

Our journey into the realm of hot, messy women embroiled in murder mysteries continues with Tate Taylor's adaptation of Paula Hawkins' The Girl On The Train.

Much like The Woman in the Window, the film stars an A-list actress (here it's Emily Blunt) doing great work in a lukewarm thriller.

Plus: female archetypes, too complicated plotting, our desire for a miniseries, and comparisons to male-centric "prestige" pictures like Oppenheimer

Terry and Joe finally hit one of former's most anticipated titles on the pod: David Lynch's surreal 1997 masterpiece, Lost Highway.

This mind fuck of a film noir has true crime connections in Robert Blake, dual roles for Patricia Arquette, but makes the mistake of subbing out Bill Pullman for Balthazar Getty? Oof!

Terry and Joe tackle another challenging Cronenberg title with the adaptation of David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly (1993).

Is this the straightest queer film ever? Although Jeremy Irons and John Lone are both doing great work, the film's reticence to engage with its gender, queer, and even political themes frustrates us to no end. By playing this realist and straight (in all senses of the word), the film is a bad marriage of director and material.

Entry 1 is Joe Wright's long delayed adaptation of The Woman in the Window, which finds Amy Adams in unflattering pyjamas and the largest NY apartment we've ever seen, spying on Julianne Moore (or is it Jennifer Jason Leigh?) getting murdered.

Disability representation in media doesn’t exist in a vacuum because disability is something that can impact anyone at anytime – meaning it is so important to touch on the intersectional points of representation.

Nichole is joined in a discussion of the landmark, but complicated, film Se7en by Hannah Oglivie, host of Fats on Film, a podcast that discusses the representation of plus-sized bodies across all genres of television and film.

We touch on so much in our discussion of Se7en:

> there are some arguably terrible individuals associated with this movie now but wanted to still have this conversation in the hopes that there is a benefit of sharing our thoughts

> how media depictions of disability, weight, gender and sexuality begin to inform our associations and identity from a young age

> how disability and weight are linked to the “religious morality” framework of the Seven Deadly Sins

Terry and Joe return to talk about Cronenberg's queerest film yet: the 1991 adaptation of Naked Lunch.

This one is tough, particularly if you're less familiar with the life and work of William S. Burroughs. Visually it's very surreal and fantastical (the typewriters!), but narratively it doesn't come together in a satisfying way.

Plus: the amazing FX, real life manslaughter, creature buttholes, and *that* Roy Scheider cameo

It's...fine. Too polished, strange story choices and Bryan is *not* a fan of how much the film hangs on the character of Jenna (Britt Robertson).

Plus: Barker's involvement, speculation about how this went from a TV series to a standalone film, and comparisons to Hulu other Barker adaptation, Hellraiser (2022).

Does having a disabled character (played by a disabled actor) as a pivotal part of another character’s turning point feel exploitative or authentic approach? How would it feel to shed the skin that has been a point of pain or even trauma? Would you get into a non-descript van with a stranger?

This film is *hot*, but it doesn't quite come together for us, despite the fine work of both Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage.

For this episode, we’re covering 2002’s May.

Is May another character in the Creepy Loner Girl tradition, or is there more to explore? How can experiences of bullying and mistreatment, often as a result of being different and sometimes connected to disability, make it hard for us to form friendships?

Bryan and Joe are finally delivering on their promise to check out Midian Unmade: Tales of Clive Barker's Nightbreed, edited by Joseph Nassise and Del Howison.

It's a mixed bag: some stories are great, some are weak, but overall there's too much sameness and too many stories in this collection.

Bryan and Joe return to tackle Clive Barker's Books of Blood Vol. 5.

It has four longer stories, but at least two of the four are distinctly less Barker-y. We spend most of our time on The Madonna (Joe's fave), Babel's Children (the rare political satire), and In The Flesh, which Bryan and Joe have differing interpretations of. More on The Forbidden next time!

There's *a lot* of exposition, characters and awkwardly handled tonal changes in these first two episodes that keeps Terry at a distance as a first time viewer.

Terry and Joe return to the Cronenberg side of the pod to discuss the Canadian director's second film of 1983, The Dead Zone.

Up for discussion: why this is a better Stephen King film than a Cronenberg film, iconic Canadian royalty in supporting roles, why the narrative works better as a miniseries (or, yes, a TV show - which Joe has seen parts of).

Plus: Walken's wild hair, the serial killer narrative, why we wish Cronenberg had written this, the bland female role, and the romanticism (ADR?) of the ending.

Bryan and Joe return for the first of many episodes on Clive Barker's Midian.

First up: Barker's 1988 novella Cabal, which Bryan appreciates a little more than Joe, who finds the story too repetitive. Thankfully there's some really smutty parts, and a great deal of duality in most of the characters.

Then we move on to Nightbreed: the 1990 studio-compromised monster movie that was mis-marketed and features a confused Craig Scheffer and an over-the-top David Cronenberg as Decker.

Sharai and Joe face their worst Black Summer nightmare: an entire episode dedicated to Lance!

From mocking the character's inability to help himself to the ridiculousness of a completely stocked convenience store, "Alone" is more than a bit of a slog. And to think we don't learn anything new about the character because he's all by himself! What's the point?!

White Ladies in Crisis returns to discuss Chloe Dumont's dramatic thriller about a secret couple whose relationship implodes when Emily (‎Phoebe Dynevor in a challenging role) is promoted over her jealous and petty fiancé, Luke ‎(hissable Alden Ehrenreich). C/W: sexual assault.

Up for discussion: Joe's dislike of financial films, gaslighting moms, why the film remains sadly relevant, normalizing periods, and yelling at the climax.

Terry and Joe return to the Cronenberg side of the podcast for the first time in season two to discuss seminal 1983 film, Videodrome.

We’re talking gnarly (practical) special effects, a sexualized man, Debbie Harry, and a critique of capitalism.

Plus: Terry’s appreciation for Cronenberg’s maturity, the film’s noir elements, and whether we would join the Cathode Ray mission.

Terry and Joe return for a new King adaptation (well...kinda) with director Lindsey Beer's Pet Sematary prequel, Bloodlines (2023).

This is simultaneously overstuffed and completely hollow, so while there's a few perks (hot cast! Indigenous representation!), there's plenty of cons (poor character development! Bad editing! An over reliance on sound design for jump scares!).

It's frustrating because there's a few good kernels, like the class and race critique, but overall this is more than a little forgettable.

After three years and thirty episodes, does the end satisfy? What becomes of Sheila, Danny, Greta, John Breem? Do we see Tyler and Bunny again? Looking back on the series, we reflect on the hits and some of the narratives misses.

Finally, we wrap up with our character MVPs and what we'll miss most.

Bryan and Joe explore new realms of Clive Barker's work with his Middle Grade/Young Adult book, The Thief of Always (1992).

The fable about a dissatisfied boy who is trapped in a four season house where not everything is as it seems is surprisingly melancholy, filled with lessons and pitched perfectly at its target audience, while still being a good tale for adults. We like this one!

The fall-out from the runway continues in what amounts to the back half of a two parter as Sheila gives John Breem advice, Danny's controlling sister arrives, Greta ditches Sheila to prove her business sense to Ernie, and Sheila tries a set menu meal with Carlos.

After a long hiatus, Nightmares & Dreamscapes returns so that Terry and Joe can discuss Daphné Baiwir's King on Screen, which focuses on Stephen King adaptations.

Alas there are some pretty significant issues with the doc: 1) *it's all white men* (where are Mary Lambert and Kimberly Pierce?!) 2) Most of the comments are complimentary and focused on King, not necessarily the adaptation process 3) The only time a "bad" adaptation is addressed is Kubrick's The Shining, so the dead director can't even defend himself.

This is messy and self-indulgent, folks!

Nichole is joined by the incredible Rebecca McCallum, Assistant Editor of Ghouls Magazine, Senior Contributor at the Moving Pictures Film Club, and all around expert and guide of all things Hitch.

We discuss, in detail, the worlds of 1960’s Psycho and 1963’s The Birds and the mothers that inhabit them, how the depiction of these figures connect to how we’ve talked about mothers in the previous Hitch episode, and how they speak to a dynamic familiar to many of us with disabilities.

Bryan and Joe return to Clive Barker territory to discuss a magical (or illusory?) double bill.

First up is 'The Last Illusion', the 1985 short from Books of Blood Vol. 6 that introduces private investigator Harry D'Amour. Bryan likes the creatures, particularly Valentin, though Joe finds the plot meandering.

Next up is Barker's 1995 film adaptation Lord of Illusions, which is both ambitious and feels like Barker succumbing to Hollywood demands. Joe is nostalgic for its messy queerness and prefers the Director's Cut, while Bryan finds it busy and notes that characters lack agency.

Obviously the exploding head is iconic, but the rest of the film is nearly as messy. An on-the-fly script and paper thing characters hint at more intriguing ideas than what is actually seen on screen.

It's finale time and Joe and Sharai have a ton of new questions and predictions.

Is Tabitha still in town? Is the sleeping threat really done? How did we get through a wedding without someone dying? And why couldn't Randall or Jim have been killed?!

Bryan and Joe check out Hellbound Hearts, an anthology of 23 Hellraiser stories edited by Paul Kane and Marie O'Regan. Some are good, some...are not!

We're talking about our faves (a European Cenobite coming of age! A slut shamed nun! A puzzle solving vigilante!), as well as the mixed ones that intrigued (Prey comparisons? Stockholm Syndrome? Gay installation art?).

It's a mixed bag, but we had a lot of fun with this collection.

It's the penultimate episode of FROM S02 and Sharai and Joe are breaking down the show's new "no sleep" mystery.

Are dreams/nightmares becoming reality? Have the nursery rhyme's "three" already been taken? Is Jim the dumbest character on the series? Is our sweet boy Kenny completely jaded and hard?

Plus: predictions for the finale (basically no resolution, prompting screams and tears)

Terry and Joe are trying to figure out the difference between sci-fi and fantasy as they return to the Lynch side of the podcast to discuss his big budget studio effort, Dune (1984).

Despite issues with the voice-over narration, the compacted back half and too many characters, we don't actually mind this one. The costumes are wild, the FX is good, and we want more of whatever is going on with Baby Alicia Witt.

Plus: the problematic queer coding of Harkonnen, Jodorowsky's Dune, and a silver lining to the film's box office failure.

On a very special episode of The Girls on the Boys, Jenn and Rachel return to tackle a Supe Showdown, a Butcher bum flashback, and burgeoning love in a bowling alley. The plot thickens as Homelander finds the worst possible solution to a plane hijacking, Butcher gives a strange pep talk, and The Deep tries in vain to save a flirtatious dolphin.

For this episode, Nichole goes back to M. Night Shyamalan's filmography to talk about 2004’s The Village. Does Ivy’s disability matter beyond selling one of the film’s twists?

Also: the character of Noah is absolutely ridiculous and what was Adrien Brody thinking?

Jenn, Joe, and Gena bid goodbye (and good riddance!) to Fatal Attraction as the series ends with an out of nowhere killer reveal and an absolutely confounding message.

Plus: infectious mental illness, a final round of rants and vents, how the show could have ended, the spin-off we *actually* want to see, and - after eight hours of garbage - justice for all of these actors (and us!)

Jenn, Gena, and Joe have reached the penultimate episode of Fatal Attraction...and we've never had less confidence in the show.

Despite the solid cliffhanger involving Beth and Alex and the extended flashbacks to Alex's childhood, it's all too little, too late.

Plus: uncomfortable racial politics at the trial, more (?!) new characters as Dan works his petition, and just what is going on with Ellen and Stella?!

Plus, we gush about the stressful van ride that stands out in the most stressful episode of a very stressful show.

Clearly no longer courting controversy, Cronenberg explores sex parasites in an urban environment and casts American porn star Marilyn Chambers as his lead.

Plus: horror vignettes, gross predatory men and phallic women, pity for Mindy and Rose's respective ends, and yes - this is Christmas Horror!

Sharai and Joe are back to discuss this very low-key but engaging episode. We finally see the people Sarah hurt confront her, talk about Mari(elle)’s hobbies, and wonder if people should be counting talismans instead of food.

Plus: We elaborate on why we love Donna, but would choose the town over *any* iteration of Colony House.

Infertility and disability intersect in a number of ways – folks with disabilities may struggle with conceiving as a result of their condition and access to various interventions may be a challenge. For this episode, Nichole looks at the 1991 film The Unborn to explore some of those connections and discuss why we need more expansive stories dealing with all matters of reproductive health.

Fatal Attraction rolls on with episode five "Medial Woman" as Alex goes full villain, killing Sophie and setting (another!) fire. In the present Dan and Mike seek out new suspects, while the Ellen storyline continues to spin its wheels.

Plus: that bloody cliffhanger, questioning if Alex is present, and we play the Name Game because the show can't stop introducing new characters!

Terry and Joe continue their discussion of Lynch's filmography with his Oscar nominated feature, The Elephant Man (1980) featuring a shitty Anthony Hopkins and a heavily made-up John Hurt.

We're talking about disability (and disability representation), hospitals vs freak shows, a harrowing bedroom attack, a tense train station sequence, and an unexpected surreal moment.

FROM delivers its Emmy contender with a surprisingly emotional episode featuring...a day player?

Sharai and Joe love 'Tether' which touches base with every character on the show, addresses the emotional fall-out from living in this town, and seemingly sets up the rest of the season. It's a great episode, particularly for Donna and Boyd, though we still want answers from Elgin and Victor!

The film centers around a character with a medical condition found only in folk tales and myths, but there is some relevant bits to the characters.

We put our detective skills to use to figure names of new characters, wonder if Mary should give Kristi a pass for disappearing under these deadly circumstances, and continue to wonder if Kenny will ever catch a break.

Plus: We question some of our favorite characters’ choices as they run around after sundown.

Gena, Jenn and Joe return to talk about the first feature adaptation of Ira Levin's iconic feminist text, The Stepford Wives (1975). Despite being written and directed by men, this tale of conformity and misogyny in the suburbs remains as timely and relevant as ever (discomfortingly so).

We're discussing the 70s fashion, why Walter is such a putz, Disneyland robotics, and what a hypothetical (good) contemporary remake of this tale would include

We're talking parasitic slugs, different forms of exploitation and queer representation, harrowing homages to Night of the Living Dead, an iconic pool sequence, and debate the nihilistic (or maybe sexually hopeful?) ending.
