This week Nikki and Kate watched The Blackcoat’s Daughter and had one or two Reba digressions. But then they got down to brass tacks and talked about commonalities across exorcism movies, themes of loss and isolation, and then more Reba.

Rated R for brutal bloody violence and brief strong language.
Content warnings:
Blood, gore, gun violence, car accident, death of a parent, death of a minor, jump scares, possession, vomit, mental institution scene, hospital scene.

This week Nikki and Kate watched the horror anthology XX and definitely didn’t have a hard time speaking. They talk about mud more than you’d expect but they also discuss framing devices in anthologies, societal pressures put on mothers, and how to throw the perfect birthday party. Stick around to the very end to hear their favorite scary moments because oops they forgot to cover it in the body of the episode. Body, heh.
Rated R

Blood, gore, dead animal, animal abuse, bugs, finger/toe mutilation, broken bone, parent death, child death, stalking, jump scare, possession, hospital scene

This week Nikki and Kate watched Paranormal Activity and learned everything there is to know about horror movie budgets. They’re literally experts now. Or they covered it in brief. One of those things, for sure. They also talk about static cameras in found footage style films, moles (measure or animal, who is to say?), and improvisational horror.
Rated R for language
