EPISODE 5: GREMLINS

EPISODE 11: HOUSE

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550535/fan_mail/new] Introducing Kim & Em's forgotten movie GEMS! There are certain films in our lives (horror in our case) that burnt their gory glory and dreamlike atmosphere onto our retinas and while they may not be worthy of the critics thumbs up - we love them anyway for how they made us feel. The nostalgia flicks! The unsung underated heros of our formative years. We love these quirky films and one of us gets to choose a favourite weirdo movie from our past to revisit. This week it's Booth's turn and she chooses HOUSE which she remembers renting from the video store time and time again. But is it just a light frothy fun ghoulish 80's horror - or does it go deeper then we all thought. The answer is yes it does - find out in this fun nostalgic trip back in to the world of Steve Miners 1985 (now) cult favourite HOUSE. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550535/support]

EPISODE 10: ROSEMARY'S BABY

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550535/fan_mail/new] You might think that our podcast has an easy job rooting out the true villains in a film all about Satanists, and featuring the devil himself, but this is Kim & Em Vs EVIL! We dig a lot deeper then the surface 'evil' presented in our favourite genre films to root out hidden baddies, too! Rosemary's Baby is a key film in cinema history for many reasons real, fictional, and in terms of legacy and cultural impact. Not only do we talk sex with Satan but we also delve into the trivia behind the film – as well as the movie's notorious curse.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550535/support]

EPISODE 9: THE UGLY STEPSISTER & THE NEON DEMON

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550535/fan_mail/new] Just like fame, beauty costs. And here's where you start paying! Kim and Em are fascinated with the recent slew of Beauty Horror gracing our screens, often (but not always) directed by women seeking to reflect, comment on, and rebel against unattainable beauty standards.  These are standards which are increasingly becoming the normal way to achieve validation as well as financial success. Kinda depressing right?! But is this a new thing? Kim and Em delve into the historical roots of the pursuit of perfection citing key films The Ugly Stepsister (2025) and The Neon Demon (2016) as they attempt to spotlight the villains, get to grips with the evil that makes the characters do what they do, and show how this raises a mirror to our own lives. And it wouldn't be Kim & Em vs EVIL without some brutally frank and unapologetically feminist banter!

EPISODE 8: THE BEAUTY

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550535/fan_mail/new] Inspired by Ryan Murphy's recent hot! hot! hot! series,The Beauty, Booth and Taylor-Foster discuss the emergence of a nascent subgenre in Horror. The subgenre in question? The aptly named 'Beauty Horror'. That's what we're calling it for now, at least.  Our obsession with youth and beauty might not be new, and neither is its exploration on the screen, but we've certainly seen a surge in horror movies over the past few years positioning the topic front and centre. Nicolas Winding Refn's stylish 2016 shockerThe Neon Demon, Coralie Fargeat's decorated The Substance from 2024, last year's stunningly grotesque debut from new Norwegian talent Emilie Blichfeldt, The Ugly Stepsister, and now, of course, The Beauty.  But why now? The ladies ride the somewhat slippery slope of gender politics, feminism, and beauty standards in an attempt to provide a meaty, visceral, honest, and intriguing look into our love/ hate relationship with beauty and how it has shaped cinematic history. Expect the usual highly intelligent conversation splattered with ridiculous humour – you'll find out exactly why Booth just loves the word MULCH.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550535/support]
