For this episode, we’re covering 2024’s A Different Man. We'll chat a lot about how disability and others perceptions shape the way see ourselves, how disability is a part of our identity and the balances we strike with other aspects of who we are. Finally, we'll touch on the film’s depiction of neurofibromatosis and its experimental treatment.

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?

Joe and Bryan return to unpack Clive Barker's first full-length novel, 1985's The Damnation Game. It's a big, ambitious project, filled with trademark Barker-isms, as well as many typical first novel issues. C/W: *everything*

Plus: multiple endings, shallow female characters, animal violence, and a challenging redemption arc for a cannibal pedophile.

Finally: an important announcement for episode 30!

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 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

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

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.

2024’s Night Swim is a layer cake of the disability tropes we know and love, so Nichole channels her simmering rage to give a refresher on some of them (since we circle them frequently here on the pod).

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.

The White Ladies in Crisis crew get back to basics with the first of three episodes dedicated to hot, alcoholic, messy, voyeuristic women embroiled in murder mysteries.

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.

Plus: grown-ass men playing boys, twists on twists on twists, a Single White Female sequel, and why Jenn cried twice.

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

It's nearly the same narrative as the 2020 Hulu Books of Blood, only this one has grime and sexuality. It feels properly Clive Barker-y!

Plus: Lord of the Rings ghosts, not enough Doug Bradley, handjobs and BDSM, and debate about Mary's ending

For this episode, Nichole is covering two films just released in theatres – Immaculate and The First Omen (2024). As a fan of religious horror, I was very excited to see both but was very surprised to find myself thinking about these films well after viewing and what they had to say about bodily autonomy (both in regards to reproductive health and beyond).

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

After wrapping up Clive Barker's Books of Blood, Bryan and Joe dig into Brannon Braga's Trick r'Treat-style anthology, Books of Blood (2020).

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).

For this episode, Nichole covers 2013’s Under the Skin. 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.

Plus: references to Elvis and The Wizard of Oz, wanting more of MVP Diane Ladd, Twin Peaks cross-overs, and debate about Lynch doing sex and romance.

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? Lots to unpack with this “new cult classic.”

Nichole is joined by Specter Cinema Club co-host and a Pod and Pendulum co-host, DeVaughn Taylor, to talk about a film that’s just so slightly out of the wheelhouse of what we have covered here: 2019’s Swallow. PICA, OCD, bodily autonomy…this film has us covering complex and challenging topics.

Terry and Joe are back on the Lynch/Twin Peaks beat as they catch-up on the first two episodes of season two.

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.

Plus: the show's treatment of women, James Hurley: Singer, Lynch's superior direction, and Terry's continued love of the background at the Great Northern.

Joe and Sharai have made it to Black Summer's finish line, but even by the end of "Stadium" we're unsure if the journey was worth it. 

We're delirious but thrilled to be wrapping up this binge with one final discussion about how we don’t know about any of these characters and wonder where this calvary came from.

Oh yeah, and we're reminded that Rose had a daughter!

Sign up for the Victory Project and swap out dinner for oral sex because we're talking Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling (2022).

Our big problems: a boring, obvious screenplay and Harry Styles (great musician; bad actor). Also: Florence Pugh has *much* better chemistry with Chris Pine.

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?!

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.

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.

Sheila hits the fitness expo for an episode that finds Gena, Jenn and Joe seeing red. Sabotage, stripping, backsliding, and late night phone calls ensue.

Up for discussion: would Sheila have really responded this way? How much of Kelli's actions are real vs imagined? Are the writers punishing Sheila? And what to make of the cliffhanger ending with John Breem?

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!

For this episode, Bodies of Horror revisits two topics that we’ve touched on here before: Hitchcock (Rear Window) and complex roles of mothers.

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.

Warm up those leotards because Apple TV's Physical is back for its third and final season. We're so very excited for the show's return that Gina's internet went out at the 2/3 mark!

Up for discussion: the state of Sheila and Danny's marriage, replacing Sheila's inner saboteur with Zoey Deschanel's Kelly Kilmartin, questioning Sheila's mental health, John Breem's wife drama, and glimpses of the start of the series as we jump closer to the '84 Olympics.

Take a trip back to Episode 49, where Nichole discussed all things Access: Horror with Festival Director Ariel Baska. The fest took place earlier in July (July 8th and 9th) and Nichole is here to share overall thoughts on the panels and short films she was able to catch.

A shoutout to Ariel (@ruinmysky) for putting together a two-day virtual film fest with so much to engage with and for using a powerful platform for folks to about all things disability representation in relation to our beloved horror genre and bring a powerhouse collection films and panelists to spur conversations and advocacy.

Secure your branded sponsorship for the perfect social media post because Gena, Jenn and Joe are headed to Thailand with Kurtis David Harder's Influencer (2022).

We're fascinated by star Cassandra Naud's performance and how the film uses her natural birthmark in a tale about performative online personalities where no one is who they pretend to be.

Plus: Ryan as pimp, why not all influencers are the same, the misleading YA marketing and comparisons to Sissy and Superhost

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.

Terry and Joe are wrapping up the first round of Sexy & Surreal with David Cronenberg's commercial effort Scanners (1981).

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.

Plus: mall culture, homoerotic tension, a terrible lead performance, and the Scanners franchise.

From the iconic opening sequence to Kyle MacLachlan's awe-shucks teen boy to Isabella Rossellini's Dorothy and Dennis Hopper's Frank Booth (iconic), Lynch is taking apart suburbia with glee.

Plus: film noir, poppers and queer reading of Frank, and how the film should prepare Terry for future Lynch to come!

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fatal Attraction delivers its first boring filler episode as Alex's screen time dries up and the "legalese" takes over. Sure Beth is piecing things together, and there's an actual death at episode's end to raise the stakes, but what are we doing with Adult Ellen's storyline?!

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!

What happens when a sensitive boy crosses over to the dark side? Who is this adorable Frenchman stealing their hearts? And will they ever be able to listen to “Cherry Bomb” without thinking of ass explosives?

Nichole is talking about 2008’s Teeth, directed by Mitchell Litchenstein and starring Jess Weixler. 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. There is also discussion of how disability and sexuality are portrayed generally, as well as in this film specifically.

Up for discussion: uncertainty about hair, costuming and the show's two time periods, why episode three is the best, a questionable focus on Dan's daughter, wanting professionalism for Alex, and speculation about where the rest of the series will go.

Sharai and Joe are back to see who survives the night in the second half of this surprise two-part episode.

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

Terry and Joe continue their bi-weekly exploration of Lynch and Cronenberg, turning to the latter's infamous (and controversial) first film, Shivers (1975).

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.

While Tabitha and Julie are annoying, we're intrigued by the newbies from the bus, including Kristi's girlfriend and mysterious Elgin.

Plus: just the right amount of Jade, Victor being useful (and not!), and fears for Donna and Kenny

We’ll tackle exploding girlfriends, invisible bathroom creepers, super selfies, and the worst first day in hero history. Vought veteran Jenn has a crush on a lanky nepo-baby, Supe newbie Rachel loves Butcher’s international swagger, and they’re both over the moon for the show’s female representation.

To prepare for the debut of S02, we're revisiting the whole of S01, its main characters, stand-out sequences, and why the show is serving Stephen King vibes (only with POC and queers).

As promised, Bryan and Joe dedicate a standalone episode to Clive Barker's Rawhead Rex (from Books of Blood Vol.3), as well as its much maligned 1986 film adaptation by George Pavlou.

Real talk: we don't hate the movie! It's not a good adaptation, but as a stock creature feature, it's fine.

Plus: debating piss vs semen, Barker's take on folk horror, killing kids, and why the end of the film is worse than its monster costume.

Terry and Joe kick off a bi-weekly exploration of the filmographies of David Lynch and David Cronenberg because Terry has seen remarkably few of their respective features.

First up: Lynch's Eraserhead, which took 5 years, was funded by Sissy Spacek and is a wild first film. We're talking the all-encompassing industrial score, surreal space sequences, a sperm child, practical FX, and Lynch's (maybe?) real life daddy issues reflected on screen.

After a dive into some older fare, Nichole changes things up and talk about a recent film – 2022’s Pearl. This episode tackles a bit about the 1918 flu pandemic, caring for a loved one with a disability or illness during a pandemic, and the multitude of mental health issues this film touches on.

This was an episode where it seemed fitting to chat about mental health and had to call in support from one of my favorite people: Mike Snoonian, the loveliest person and therapist behind the boards at The Pod and The Pendulum and PsychoAnalysis: A Horror Therapy podcasts. Any time I get to chat with Mike is time I treasure and he brought the brilliance and humor to this conversation.

Bryan and Joe are back to discuss Volume 3 of Clive Barker's short story collection, Books of Blood.

We're faced with more dated elements (race/fatphobia), though we're wondering if part of this is simply too much Barker in a short period of time?

Still, we've got great body horror/kills, a Stephen King-esque story, and the anticipation of Rawhead Rex on the horizon.

In this pre-launch episode for Out To Get You Podcast, Margot Mutter and fantasy literature academic Becca/Bex Gault sink their teeth into the themes of power and cycles of abuse of Bit (2019).

C/W: This episode contains discussions of rape and sexual violence, drug abuse, kidnapping, suicide, homophobia and transphobia, and other themes that may be sensitive for listeners. 

Caveat: This episode was recorded on January 10th, 2023, which seems like a world away for the trans people in your lives. Since that day, 44 more trans people have been murdered simply for the crime of existing. This year is already proving heartbreaking and fatal for our community. While this podcast is for entertainment, it is impossible to completely decouple ourselves from the campaigns of violence we face, in the streets we live and in the legislatures which paint us as unfit and as threats to society, as well as the resulting anguish and rage they continue to produce. We ask that you consider your emotional and mental health before engaging with this episode.

It's the end of the line for YOU S04 and Joe and Sharai are divided. Despite giving us everything we wanted and hypothesized about, there's something unsatisfying about the finale. From Kate and Nadia being dumb-dumbs to how easy it is to kill Tom to the show's refusal to end, this just doesn't hit the mark.

Plus: thoughts on the inevitable S05 and Penn Badgley going clean shaven again!

Plus: Penn Badgley takes great direction from himself, questioning how great sex with Joe can be if you avoid doing it, and talking expectations for the finale.

Well, it turns out that Joe Goldberg is “full fat, extra sugar, deep-fried fucking insane” and now we're just frustrated. In what feels like a poorly constructed twist, Joe and Sharai question the logic of making Joe mentally ill, the logistics of disappearing for days on end and constructing the box in London, as the benefits of using half the episode's runtime on Marienne's fairytale.

Plus: this has got to be the final season, right? Because a "happy ending" for Joe is off the table!

A boring episode suddenly turns into something wild as the glass cage makes a surprise reappearance. Joe's not convinced this isn't still a frame job by Rhys, who gets his balls played with a bit before dying. Sharai, however, shatters Joe's fragile little mind with the suggestion that Joe has been Sixth Sense-ing Rhys the whole season!

Sharai and Joe return to tackle the premiere of Netflix's YOU S04 Part 2...and we're a bit underwhelmed.

This is firmly a placeholder (filler?) episode that reintroduces the characters, but there's too much Adam/Lady Phoebe drama and barely any Kate!

Plus: Rhys in the dark with beers, Nadia's in danger, the photographer's identity is revealed, and Where.Is.Daddy?!

Prepare to be incredibly uncomfortable because Gena, Joe, and Jenn are back to discuss Jamie Dack's extremely upsetting film, Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022). CW: grooming, sexual assault.

This is rough, in part because lead actress Lily McInery is so young looking, and the child grooming is so easy to understand.

Plus: fraught mother/daughter relationships, dating older men, Jonathan Tucker appreciation, and why a static long shot sex scene is so effective.

For a second dip into Love Hurts, the White Ladies in Crisis crew (Jenn, Gena and Joe) revisit Lolita-inspired 90s knock-off, The Crush (1994).

Starring an unhinged Alicia Silverstone as a teenage temptress and Cary Elwes at peak hotness, this film features no shortage of perplexing questions, including why an adult man would let not one, but TWO teen girls hang out in his apartment, why the screenwriter didn't change Adrian's name, and what kind of family has a carousel in their attic. Fun times!

Bryan and Joe are back to discuss Volume 2 of Clive Barker's short story collection, Books of Blood.

This time we're a bit more conflicted about some of the dated elements, including the role of race in Hell's Event to the misogyny of Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament to the sexual assault of The Skins of our Fathers.

Still, Barker's prose is great, from the body horror of Jacqueline Ess to the playfulness of Barker-fying Edgar Allan Poe in New Murders in the Rue Morgue.

Plus: which are our fave stories (we don't agree this time!)
