Feeling Stiff: A Halloween Potluck

Feeling Stiff: A Halloween Potluck

Happy Halloween! Join the Cheugy Crew for our annual Halloween episode where we potluck questions that span the last three seasons, including: the Final Girl Gym, how to escape your vehicle when submerged in water, the final wishes we want carried out at each of our funerals, and our delightful October group watch of Frankenhooker (1990). Discussion of our favorite seasonal treats take a sexual turn, and we cap off the episode with everyone’s favorite Fuck, Marry, Kill bracket to date (the Twilight Universe edition).  Follow us on Instagram: @cheugytalks [https://www.instagram.com/cheugytalks] Email us at cheugytalks@gmail.com [cheugytalks@gmail.com]

Sometimes Dead is Better: A Stephen King Special

The Cheugy Crew revisits one of the most prolific kings of horror of the last half-century — the man himself, Stephen King. Having written more than 65 novels and 200 short stories, with over 50 of his works adapted into films and TV series, he’s more than earned his nickname, “The King of Horror.” In this episode, we dive into three of his iconic works that made the leap from page to silver screen in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s — The Shining, Pet Sematary, and Misery. Plus, Asher shares his book report from his summer field trip to Maine, where he embarked on a Stephen King tour through King's hometown of Bangor. So whether you’re a Constant Reader or someone who’s only seen The Shawshank Redemption, join us as we ask the question: Does anything scare Stephen King?

We Still Know What You Watched Last Summer

The Cheugy Crew is back from summer vacation and here to regale you with tales of our summer movie-watching as we kick off part two of season three—and just in time for the beginning of Spooky Season. From the remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer to Final Destination: Bloodlines and 28 Years Later, we're revisiting some key franchises of the '90s and early aughts that have gotten fresh life—or death, if you will—this summer.  Follow us on Instagram: @cheugytalks [https://www.instagram.com/cheugytalks] Email us at cheugytalks@gmail.com [cheugytalks@gmail.com]

Dear Diary, Our Teen Angst Has a Body Count

We're going back to the horrors of high school one more time! Before Mean Girls, there were the Heathers, the Flawless Four, and the A Group.  The Cheugy Crew dives into Heathers (1988)—think Mean Girls with sharper fangs, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997), and Jawbreaker (1999), which one critic described as a "high school noir crossed with a John Hughes film on crack."  And we tip toe into the horrors of adolescence with middle schooler Dawn Weiner in Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995), where you might think you're hot shit but discover you're really just cold diarrhea.  Join us for another dose of the cruel politics of high school in this episode where we discover hell really is a teenage girl.

Wild at Heart and Weird on Top

In this episode, the Cheugy Crew takes on the humbling task of paying tribute to David Lynch’s body of work, touching on Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, and Dune, with a special focus on 1990’s Wild At Heart starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern. Come for the exploration of ominous camp, stay for the bonus chat on your host’s collective love for West Texas (in a side segment we call Big Tuna Times).  Follow us on Instagram: @cheugytalks [https://www.instagram.com/cheugytalks] Email us at cheugytalks@gmail.com [cheugytalks@gmail.com]
