Here’s a collection of recent posts and podcast episodes.

Ebola Syndrome
What do you get when you mix a pandemic, murderousness, international travel, pathological horniness, racism and size insecurity? Apparently, a film called Ebola Syndrome (1996).

House Haunting
Presence (2024) is an inventive, uncanny new take on the familiar terrain of the familial ghost story. An upper-middle class American family is haunted by the ghost of its inherent dysfunctionality. Jason and Ali reflect on annoying siblings, teen serial killers, and immersive Steadicam cinematography.

Eight-Legged Evil
Most spiders are totally harmless, but not in horror. Join Jason and Ali as they spin a web of pleasure and annoyance by talking about Arachnophobia (1990) and Sting (2024).

The Bleak Brilliance of David Lynch
The late David Lynch's masterpiece, Mulholland Drive (2001), is quirky, puzzling and playful. It is also one of the most horrific movies you'll ever see. Jason and Ali are properly disturbed.

Sex at the Cemetery
Are you a fan of Phantasm (1979)? Really?! It's poorly acted, poorly scripted, and very poorly funded. It's also insanely imaginative and has a cult following. Jason and Ali go to the graveyard.

Se7en (Seven)
David Fincher's Se7en (1995) is one of scariest crime movies around. But is it scary enough to be horror? Jason and Ali confess their deadly sins.

Rookie vs Demons
Last Shift (2014) and Malum (2023), by the same director, tell the same story. A young policewoman faces demonic forces in a haunted cop shop. Jason and Ali receive their Miranda rights.

Mask vs. Sex
Would you put on a scary samurai mask to put people off having sex? You shouldn't. You don't believe us? See Kaneto Shindo's hauntingly raunchy Onibaba (鬼婆) and join Jason and Ali for an episode on this masterpiece of horror cinema.

Maritime Menace
Do you enjoy swimming? Did you know there could sharks or pirahnas in the water? Jason and Ali wade into the classic tales of aquatic anguish, Jaws (1975) and Piranha (1978).

Bubba Ho-Tep
Do you need a break from extreme horror? How about a tale of an elderly Elvis Presley and his pal JFK doing battle with an ancient Egyptian soul-sucker in a Texan retirement home? Join Jason and Ali for a chat about one weird movie.

Terrifier 3
In Terrifier 3, Art is back for the fourth time in about a decade and he's not clowning around! Can he and his henchperson, Victoria, take down Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) and Die Hard (1988) as the new must-see Christmas film? Join Ali and Jason for a jolly good time as we discuss Art the Clown's presence as the new splatter king and the perfect representative of the current cultural zeitgeist.

The Substance
What do Demi Moore, body horror and aerobics have in common? They all feature heavily in Coralie Fargeat's gloriously gory The Substance (2024). Jason and Ali rejoice.

Here's Johnny!
The Shining (1980) is seen by many as the greatest horror film of all time. Join Jason and Ali as they explore the madness, the mystique and the mysteries of Stanley Kubrick's devilish classic.

Sinister Sisters
A Tale of Two Sisters (장화, 홍련) is a 2003 South Korean domestic horror directed by Kim Jee-woon. An unreliable, complex and puzzling film. Jason and Ali face the fears of families, ghosts, and twisty plots.

Saw You Later
It's been 20 years since James Wan and Leigh Whannell introduced us to the Jigsaw Killer in Saw (2004). Jason and Ali play games with the franchise's origins and its latest instalment, Saw X (2023).

The Xenophile Files
Ridey Scott's Alien (1979) is an indisputable masterpiece. Why is H R Giger's monster so damn terrifying? And what do we make of Alien: Romulus (2024)? In space, Jason and Ali can't hear themselves scream.

The King of the Monsters
In your Fantasy Monster League, who would you rather have on your team: Godzilla? Or King Kong? We all know the answer is Godzilla. How did Godzilla become king of the monsters? Ali and Jason revisit the 1954 original Gojira film and the 2023 film Godzilla Minus One to uncover the monster's secrets to longevity.

Longlegs
A creepy Nicolas Cage, a satanic nun and many sinister symbols. Could we ask for more? Osgood Perkins's 2024 hit also features Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood and a host of freaky dolls. Jason and Ali get spooked.

MaXXXimum Menace?
The third installment in the X horror saga is upon us. Mia Goth is back as the aggressive fame-hungry final girl in Ti West's MaXXXine (2024), but her new escapades have polarised the viewers. Jason and Ali discuss the 80s, Hollywood, porn, and other disappointments.

Us and the US
Jordan Peele's second directorial work is bizarre and brilliant. Home invasion horror or cryptic socio-political allegory? Jason and Ali delve deep with the demonic Doppelgangers of the American dream.
