In THE INNOCENTS the inherent powerlessness is what is examined in a world where children su...

November 11, 2023 16:00 - 2 hours - 94.2 MBWoHos! This week we looked at two movies related to Ghosts: POLTERGEIST (1982) & THE OTHERS. POLTERGEIST deals with the sins of capitalism and consumerism in the guise of some disruptove ghosties. Mac enjoyed this more than I did. I felt super sad at the depiction of the teenage daughter as an object of sexual attention and nothing much else. Strong performances by JoBeth Williams, Beatrice Straight, Zelda Rubenstein, and Craig T. Nelson together with the gnarly practical effects are enough...

Shout out to our WoHos in various area codes! Our last episode was downloaded in: US, Canada, Germany, and Czechia in some cool-sounding cities like: Humble, Ashburn, Montpelier, Sacramento...
EVIL DEAD TRAP & THESIS: World of Foundational Horror Bonus: Episode 115
September 11, 2023 21:00 - 39 minutes - 26.8 MBFor this episode, I am looking at two stories that involve snuff films: EVIL DEAD TRAP from Japan and THESIS / TESIS from Spain. Neither makes a whole lot of sense, but each has its brilliant charms. The kills in EVIL DEAD TRAP are great and the plot takes a serious left turn in the third act. THESIS is one of my favorite films despite some of the annoying plot holes. Everyone is a joy to behold, especially Fele Martinez, who, along with Eduardo Noriega appears in ABRE LOS OJOS, also direc...

July 29, 2023 14:00 - 2 hours - 100 MBWoHos! This week we look at two horror classics about possession: THE EXORCIST from the US & THE WAILING from South Korea. We like this pairing because we find divergence in parenting and the nature of the devil depicted in each. In Mom & Mac chat, we talk about Mac's cat pooping, Mom half remembering Vonnegut, Mom overriding her social anxiety, tricks we use to trick our brains, what to do when we hear things we can[t explain in the house, cat ghosts, the motivation of ghosts, our mutual...

I got sidelined by a little of the mid-summer doldrums. This week Mac and I looked at TENEBRAE from Italy and YOU'RE NEXT in our detour into slashers. Next time we will be back on track discussing movies about possession with THE EXORCIST from the US (Which I think will be a first-time watch for Mac) & THE WAILING from South Korea (Which is a " I lost...
STRANGERS ON A TRAIN Special Edition Quinnisode: Episode 110: Babs!
June 28, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBWoHos! Well, as Quinn journeys back to her homeland for a few weeks, we thought it might be fun to talk about another Hitchcock film. This one just happens to be my fave.

March 27, 2023 03:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBQ-Balls! Quinn and I looked at Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 experimental film, ROPE, which was intended to seem like one unbroken take.
