AHS:1984 – S09E01 – Camp Redwood
September 21, 2019 01:15 - 1 hourCecily and A.Ron dish on the premiere episode of FX’s American Horror Story: 1984, “Camp Redwood”. It’s a great looking episode where the cast is having a lot of fun, and there are 1980’s horror tropes aplenty, but that fun comes at the expense of , well… the Horror. Still, fun counts a lot for us, so we’re all in. We discuss our plucky group of soon to be murdered camp counselors, theorize on the possibly sinister background and motivations of camp owner Margaret, and are amazed and delighte...

810 - "Apocalypse Then" - Instant Take
November 15, 2018 05:54 - 24 minutesWe're not saying the latest episode of FX's American Horror Story, "Apocalypse Then" is a disappointment, exactly. But it sure wasn't a success. Honestly, we'd have rather gotten a "to be continued" rather than a slap dash climax with a too long and puzzling denouement that offers a breezy, cheesy Harry Potter "all is well" wrap up before immediately blowing it up. It's hard to shake the feeling that we. Ah well, that's what we thought. How about you? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit ...

809 - Fire and Reign - Instant Take
November 08, 2018 05:25 - 19 minutesCecily and A.Ron declare the latest episode of FX's American Horror Story: Apocalypse, "Fire and Reign" to be, at the very least, banging adjacent. Sure, there isn't a lot here that is new, and it's feeling more and more of a lock that next week is going to end with "TO BE CONTINUED". But, there was a lot of entertaining action, fun world building with new wrinkles of witchcraft (allowing a Romanoffs crossover!), and we feel a bit more self-awareness in the jokes and Illuminati-fueled madness...

November 01, 2018 04:12 - 21 minutesCecily and A.Ron can't believe what they're seeing with the latest episode of FX's American Horror Story, "Sojourn"! How do you make a Halloween episode that airs on the actual Halloween in a historically fun season of AHS suck like an old school Hoover vacuum?

October 25, 2018 03:58 - 16 minutesCecily and A.Ron are here to discuss the latest episode of FX's American Horror Story: Apocalypse, "Traitor". A fun episode, which attempts to even out the odds between Michael's malevolence and Cordelia's rag-tag and mostly resurrected group of Goode witches and warlocks. But mostly it's just fun watching Joan Collins and Cheyenne Jackson vamp and scarf throw their way through this breezy episode of AHS. Don't forget we come back in two days for Feedback Friday!

806 - Return to Murder House - Instant Take
October 18, 2018 04:43 - 23 minutesA.Ron and Cecily have a lot of fun with American Horror Story's latest episode, "Return to Murder House". It's a lot of demonic exposition, but it's nice to see the work load spread among the Harmon family and Constance Langdon. We get the devilish details of Michael growing up, from murderous toddler to rapid-grown Son of Satan, and a lot of those deets are truly disturbing and diabolical. It's not all work and no play; several of the restless ghosts of Murder House finally get happy endings...

804 - "Could it be... Satan?"
October 04, 2018 04:41 - 21 minutesCecily and A.Ron pronounce the latest episode of FX's American Horror Story: Apocalypse, "Could it be... Satan?" to be, in fact, a Glory Box. Full of wonders, such as gay Harry Potter fan fiction, Emma Roberts in hell, the return of hotelier James March, and a ruthless system of matriarchal oppression where men can never be Supreme! But never fear, gentlemen, because Michael Langdon is here in Satan's service to finally free us men from female hegemony. Nema! Learn more about your ad choices...

September 21, 2018 02:56 - 32 minutesCecily and A.Ron give apologies for being late with our thoughts on this week’s episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse, “The Morning After”. But this crazy episode is the one where A.Ron at least, learns to stop worrying and love this bomb.

801 – The End – Instant Take
September 13, 2018 04:19 - 33 minutesA.Ron and Cecily are back for another season of Ryan Murphy Madness, this time in Apocalyptic form! Tonight’s season opener of FX’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse felt strangely paced, as it seemed we were hurried along a lot of very interesting settings to get to a weird man with flat ironed hair. Which probably means this season is going to jump around like a horseshoe rabbit on methamphetamine. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
711 – Great Again
November 17, 2017 03:52 - 1 hourDid Murphy pull it off with the final episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Cult? Did he in fact, make AHS “Great Again?” Ehhh… But A.Ron and Cecily feel that he made a few decent points about the state of modern America, at least one cautionary tale, but mostly this episode is an Inception style mess of flashbacks and flashforwards and who knows how deep into this dream we’re all in, but I’m pretty sure if we don’t get out soon we’ll all be stuck in limbo.

710 – Charles (Manson) in Charge
November 10, 2017 22:25 - 1 hourWe’ve seen the latest from FX’s American Horror Story: Cult, “Charles (Manson) in Charge”, and it turns out that it’s all the women’s fault! We should have known it the whole time! A.Ron and Cecily try to figure out where Murphy is going as he crosses the double yellow and veers into oncoming traffic a final time before next week where maybe things will make sense!

709 – Drink the Kool-Aid
November 03, 2017 03:25 - 59 minutesA.Ron and Cecily have seen this egregious episode of American Horror Story: Cult, “Drink the Kool-Aid”, and have a lot to talk about. A.Ron says this is the scariest episode he’s seen in a long time because cults are scary, and the real life ones depicted here hit uncomfortably close to home. All this, plus feedback for this spooky Halloween episode of AHS! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
708 – Winter of Our Discontent
October 27, 2017 18:26 - 1 hourCecily and A.Ron take in the latest episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Cult, “Winter of Our Discontent”, where Winter starts to question some of Kai’s leadership and strategy. Or does she? Who knows, perhaps all will be revealed / retconned in a flashback. We also discuss the hilarious/glorious sex ritual Kai comes with, Vincent’s relationship with his siblings, Ally slapping a “NO FEAR” sticker to the back of her Prius, and A.Ron prays to Twisty to deliver us from evil on this upc Lea...
707 – Valerie Solanis Died for Your Sins: Scumbag

October 13, 2017 14:21 - 1 hourCecily and A.Ron discuss the controversial “Mid-Western Assassin” episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Cult.

705 – Holes
October 05, 2017 20:18 - 1 hourA.Ron and Cecily have seen the latest episode of FX’s American Horror Story, “Holes”, and aren’t sure if they’re talking about trypophobia or the plot. Good gravy we’re confused about when and how Meadow died exactly, when Ivy and Alley’s relationship dove into the crapper, and how steam rooms work in the real world. Also; we explain gaslighting in a one act play. Also, also; feedback! See you next week! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
704 – 11/9
September 28, 2017 17:43 - 1 hourCecily and A.Ron take in the sights and sounds of American Horror Story: Cult’s episode 704, “11/9”, where we begin to see Kai laying the foundation of his crazy empire/cult. A.Ron is deeply saddened to find out that, yeah, Ivy is probably in on this from the ground floor; Cecily is still in denial. We also talk about Boris Carolla, doggo suspense, gym jerking etiquette, the swift conversion of members of Kai’s cult, and lots and lots of feedback. See you next week! Learn more about your a...
703 – Neighbors from Hell
September 22, 2017 13:50 - 1 hourCecily and A.Ron are here to spit fire about American Horror Story: Cult, “Neighbors from Hell”! We talk about the essential problem of the satire of this season, but how we’re managing to enjoy it anyway, as well as hot takes on sombreros, sexy book cases, and microwaved rodents. Those microwaved rodent takes? Especially HOT. All this plus just a tremendous amount of feedback… see you back here next week! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
702 – Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark
September 14, 2017 20:00 - 1 hourCecily and A.Ron turn on the night lights and light up our organic beeswax candles for FX’s American Horror Story: Cult as we consider this week’s episode, “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark”. We discuss the new beekeeping neighbors, Winter’s very forward notion of relaxing Ally, and the importance of gun safety training for new terrified liberal gun owners, and much more.

701 – Election Night
September 07, 2017 19:50 - 1 hourWhoo boy, are we in for a season of FX’s American Horror Story, subtitled “Cult”. For A.Ron, it’s a little long on clowns and a little light on Cult, and Cecily wonders who or what is the focus of the social skewering going on in “Election Night”, the season premiere. It’s too early to tell a lot of things, like how seriously Murphy is taking all of this, if every clown or even any clown we see is real, and exactly how much screaming Evan Peters will be doing this year, but hey, we’re all Le...
610 – Chapter 10
November 19, 2016 21:53 - 1 hourWe’re done, and so is FX’s American Horror Story for yet another year, with the release of episode 610, “Chapter 10”. This episode isn’t going to change your mind about the season one way or another, but we found it funny and campy even if the end ultimately didn’t pay off the way it could have if almost every decision about Lee’s character was the literal opposite of what the show did, but hey. You can’t win them all, or lose them all, even if you’re Ryan Murphy writing this crazy, Learn ...
609 – Chapter 9
November 11, 2016 16:33 - 46 minutesA.Ron and Cecily were enjoying the more light-hearted, campy feel of episode 609, “Chapter 9”, and then the Woods Witch showed up, iCloud footage was found, and things got really bloody and gross in a decidedly POV kind of way. We talk about the lone survivor of the season, do some speculation about where the show goes as it heads into it’s final week, and admire the quick recovery of Monet’s spunk and moxy.

608 – Chapter 8
November 04, 2016 19:17 - 59 minutesIf you like the “torture porn” sub genre of horror, then there was a lot to like about “Chapter 8” of American Horror Story episode 608, and if you didn’t… well, better luck next week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
607 – Chapter 7
October 28, 2016 14:07 - 1 hourCecily and A.Ron think that AHS season six is really bringing the scares, even if the plot and characters are still as dubious as Polk Farm Sausage. Swinging for the fences, Murphy and Co. bring a lot of death, dismemberment, and dead Mott to the proceedings but that’s not all. Thrill to Cuba embracing the darkside, chill to Matt falling to the charms of a shrieking bear monster woman, side eye a suddenly murderous Shelby, and giggle as characters film their own demise for really no damn good...
606 – Chapter 6
October 21, 2016 19:33 - 1 hourA.Ron and Cecily got plenty of chills and thrills in what can only be called the best episode of the season for FX’s American Horror Story. And sure, that might be considered damning the show with faint praise, but that Pigman and Nurse killing action was LEGIT frightening. The pivot from pointless homage to genuine horror had us hungry for more. What’s going on with Agnus? Who will be this season’s lone survivor? Will Sarah Paulson out scream Evan Peters? Stay tuned to find out! Learn ...
605 – Chapter 5
October 14, 2016 18:23 - 1 hourA.Ron and Cecily are thoroughly entertained by the latest installment of FX’s American Horror Story: Roanoke, “Chapter 5”. Full of gore, creepy thrills, and Evan Peter’s screaming, it’s a nice way to close the door on this hit and miss homage phase of the season, and hopefully move forward with a crazy season proper. We’ll see if we get filet mignon or chicken liver. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
604 – Chapter 4
October 07, 2016 20:55 - 1 hourIt’s fitting that the worst, most disjointed American Horror Story episode (thus far!) from the “My Roanoke Nightmare” season would be an homage to the worst, most disjointed season of AHS of all time. But still, we can’t help but look forward to episode six when Murphy and company have promised this season is going to go bonkers on us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
603 – Chapter 3
October 01, 2016 00:43 - 1 hourA.Ron and Cecily are a bit divided on their opinion on “Chapter 3” of FX’s American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare, with A.Ron really digging Cricket’s psychic connection with the former inhabitants of the lost colony of Roanoke, and Cecily impatient to get to the true fire Murphy is promising for later in the season. Also, lots of pigs, and it turns out? Shelby is the WORST. All this and a bunch of feedback from you fellow fans coming right up! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit ...
602 – Chapter 2
September 23, 2016 20:40 - 1 hourCecily and A.Ron discuss “Chapter 2” of American Horror Story’s sixth season, including some crazy mom moments, spooky kid talking ghosts, the best kind of found footage (involving Russell Edgington, of course), and debate whether wicker pigs are a terrifying means of home grown terrorism, or just a way to be neighborly. I mean, who says no to pork? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
