Plug It Up: A Horror Movie Podcast

Eyes Wide Shut: Illuminaughty

Charlie joins Caitlin to cover the show's first Kubrick review: Eyes Wide Shut from 1999. We dig into sex, conspiracy, and male fragility. It's a fun movie to talk about, and it certainly hits different in 2026, knowing what we do now. Tangents include: the one percent, hit movies of the 90s, ideal leaves, Scrubs, and cursive (and also Cursive). DQ something different.

Together: 2 Become 1

Randy from Straight Chilling Podcast joins Caitlin to cover 2025's Together. We talk about enmeshment, resentment, and oneness, as well as body horror, special effects, casting, and sound design. It's one we were happy to root for! Tangents include: merging bodies, childhood fears, AI, and comforting sounds.

The Amityville Horror: For God's Sake, Get Out!

Rachel joins Caitlin to cover The Amityville Horror, a 1979 horror movie based on the true story of the Lutz family haunting following the DeFeo family murders. We talk about the supernatural power of a mother's love, patriarchal unraveling, menstruating real estate, the failure of the church, and more! If you're a fan of the 2005 version, we also comment on that one a fair amount. Tangents include: the Warrens, true crime, chopping wood, cats, evil locations, haunted houses, ghosts, paranormal experiences, favorite franchises, tote bags, t.A.T.u., The Bride, James Brolin vs Ryan Reynolds, sexual awakenings, and a good ol' FMK. Thanks to Jodie for inspiring this episode!

Bugonia: Pizzagate

Charlie joins Caitlin to cover Bugonia, the 2025 hit from director Yorgos Lanthimos. We admire the movie's script, direction, acting, score, dark humor, and overall themes. We talk about conspiracy thought, big tech, big pharma, vulnerabilty, and more. Review starts around 14:30. Tangents include: Epstein, Chuck E. Cheese, weddings, Brown Bear, shaved heads, authentic selves, first memories of one another, 2026 movies, Slay the Spire, and Pizzagate. It's good to be back.

Year Ender: 2025 Horror

This episode has a longer introduction that reflects on my history as a feminist activist, my time in Chile, and the current state of US politics. It may not appeal to everyone, but I felt it was important to share. The review of 2025 horror releases starts around 14:00. I cover my favorites, my medium-recommends, some flops, horror TV, and what I'm looking forward to in 2026. Here's to a more active (in all senses of the word) 2026!
