Happy Friday the 13th to all those who celebrate (which should be all of you!) Instead of tackling one of the big boys from the iconic franchise, we swerve and take a look at an indie passion project, 13: Fanboy. With a massive alumnus cast and some truly entertaining meta ideas, 13: Fanboy struggles to add meat to the bones.

And this week, Bee reads...a romance novel?! Plus, Ryan wraps up his final frontier.

The late aughts were dedicated to the slasher remakes so finding an original IP in a sea of reboots is truly a unique experience. As is Laid to Rest. With a memorable killer and some fine-tuned craft, this little slasher that could is deserving of a lot more love.

Plus! In this week's pop culture check-in, Ryan continues his Trek trek and Bee finally got around to seeing the most emo of the Batmen.

Be on the lookout all brides-to-be! In this week's episode, we explore a slasher that would go on to influence many but is remembered by few. Bee and Ryan take a look at 1980's He Knows You're Alone, discuss why it left its mark on the horror landscape but is never discussed, and also have some fun discussing that little actor's first film role. What's his name again? Tom Hanks.



Also, in this week's pop culture check-in, Ryan brings up his annual allowance of once to discuss Wrestlemania and has also been venturing where no man has gone before. Bee took advantage of some downtime and binged...everything.

You’ll probably recognize the poster but maybe not the movie. This week, we make an appointment with Dr. Giggles, a nineties slasher that is also a sneaky comic book movie? Sort of. We didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as we did but Manny Cotos darkly humorous ‘92 slasher is a fun and pun time.

Plus, in our pop culture check-in, Ryan finally checks off a major Spielberg blind spot and Bee has got her tv groove back thanks to shows like Reacher and Euphoria. Which are nothing alike but both very good!

When Jake is finally pushed over the edge by bullies, Chucky reminisces about his first murder as a human boy, urging Jake to now make a choice--kill or be killed. In this episode Bee & Ryan get into Chucky's backstory with our first real peek into his past! We also discuss the developments of our mean girl Lexy & what makes her such an interesting bad guy and more!

On Halloween night, Chucky targets one of Jake's frenemies at a rocking costume party, forcing Jake to either stop the killer doll--or help him. This episode Bee & Ryan obsess over Hello Kitty Chucky, hypothesize about Chucky's plans for Jake & question the beverages of choice at the High School Halloween party and more!

When 14-year-old budding artist Jake Wheeler buys a vintage Good Guy doll at a yard sale, intending to use it in his latest sculpture, his young life will change forever--for better and worse. Bee & Ryan tackle Chucky like they've never seen him before, on TV! We talk about the people behind the show, the development of the characters & what we hope happens the rest of the season.

Cult classic time! This week Ryan & Bee are chatting about 1987's Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. Even more exciting, they have guests! Hannah May Cumming & Emma Cogan, the woman behind Monsterous Femme Films, join the podcast to lend their expertise as they discuss the film, their favorite kills, and what this film means to them & the genre!

Say his name! This week we chat about the record-breaking Candyman sequel, directed by Nia DiCosta.

We analyze this reboot/sequel to see how it works within the slasher blueprint, what it's changed & built on from the '92 classic, and where it stands among the rest. We rave about the cinematography and discuss the message and legend of the film.

Plus in our pop culture check-in, we chat about football, Christopher Nolan's films, and the Child's Play series.

We've made it to the final film in the Fear Street trilogy! Fear Street Part 3 1666 takes us back to where it all started, and for the most part, ditches the trope-heavy formula of the previous two films. Listen as we go kill by kill to decide how well this film, and the entire trilogy, fit into the slasher genre.

Are you ready for part 2? This time we are introduced to a new Fear Street gang as they live in fear at Camp Nightwing. The film is dripping late 70's/early 80's summer camp slasher tropes! A rivalry between two towns, the bonds of sisterhood and a curse to discover all lead us right into our finale. Does this film work as its own slasher or does it get lost in its own trilogy? We find out!
