Parker Posey is a Gift (w/ Ely Kreimendahl!)

We Die First: A CROSSOVER EVENT (Part I)

Seynique Smythe and Andrew Baldwin are comix from Chi-town with their *own* spoopy podcast, called WE DIE FIRST. Listen to us gag on an array of horrors as we talk about the representation, influences and tropes that made us the anxious gremlins (or cool comedy people) we are today. Then join the Spooky Squad over at WDF! Follow @wediefirstpod and its hosts (@seynique, @andrew_on_drums)! And moi: @joshuasimonsays TW: Discussion of both fictional and real-world violence and racism, including brief mentions of current events. Mild Spoilers for GET OUT, SOCIETY, HELLRAISER, EVE'S BAYOU, BELOVED, VAMP, and QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. Finally: give Kasi Lemmons her due!!

Ayatollah You So... (w/ Annam Choudhry!)

The haunted hijab from Babak Anvari's UNDER THE SHADOW (2016) scared the pants off both myself and my wonderful guest, Louisville comedian Annam Choudhry. Perhaps this is why the first few minutes of our chat revolve around our bladders instead of the film we covered? But then we get right into it! Kind of. Follow Annam! on Twitter @AnnamLaughs and IG @annamnms And Me! on Twitter/IG @joshuasimonsays The Patreon: www.patreon.com/gagpod [http://www.patreon.com/gagpod] TW: discussions of fictional and real-world violence/trauma.

Parker Posey is a Gift (w/ Ely Kreimendahl!)

Queer Millennial Mom Comic (Momic?) and all around bada$$ Ely Kreimendahl talks about Creed, stimmies, and The Wilds, before we gag on horror cinema's intro to the new millennium: SCREAM 3 (Wes Craven, 2000). Follow Ely on Twitter and IG: @elykreimendahl Follow Me: @joshuasimonsays Support the Show! www.patreon.com/gagpod [http://www.patreon.com/gagpod] Lol, remember the year 2000?? Fun times. What day is it today???

Every Wrong Choice (w/ Yamini Nambimadom!)

Is CATS a horror film? Technically no, but it IS a horrifying film. Comedian and volunteer feline researcher Yamini Nambimadom discusses why Tom Hooper's 2019 Xmas release was a warning of the nonsense year that followed. Not that 2021 is shaping up to be much better... this episode was obviously recorded well before recent events at the Capitol. But hey, at least he can't tweet anymore, right?

The Rocky Horror Clip Show (w/ Christian Luu!)

This episode was a long time coming (recorded BEFORE November, omg) but I had so much fun gagging on THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) with comic and writer Christian Luu (@christiandluu)! Also lots of distractions, including Controversial Broadway Opinions, our favorite Action Heroes (and their d*cks), and the reason I wore an underwire bra nearly every night for a whole month. Follow me! @JoshuaSimonSays Support the Pod! www.patreon.com/gagpod [http://www.patreon.com/gagpod] Stay safe and stay sane. You can do this. And finally, send Matthew Morrison to Gitmo (or just Will Schuester? Matt's fine, I guess).
