Pleasers & Punishers

Sucker Punch (2011)

We’re transcending multiple layers of reality as we blast some cover songs and pull off a heist in Zack Snyder’s divisive film Sucker Punch.
 
Featuring a video game-esque storyline, a bunch of hot women kicking ass, and sleazy men doing everything they can to be awful, we have all the weapons we need…now fight!

Companion (2025)

Part the clouds and find your inner clarity because we’re tackling Drew Hancock’s feature debut Companion. We’ll touch on the ethics of artificial intelligence, the inherent political nature of existing in the world as a woman/femme, and how many amazing bits they managed to fit in one movie!

Saw (2004)

Let’s play a game! We’re digging into bellies and searching for keys as we discuss the first entry in the Saw franchise with special guest Kayte Terry (Fangs For The Memories, Tender Subject).
From cunty puppets to puddles of poison blood, we leave no clue undiscovered in a film that helped launch one of the most successful horror franchises in history.

The Loved Ones (2009)

Am I not pretty enough? Is my heart too broken? Do I cry too much? Am I too outspoken?This week we’re talking Sean Byrne’s debut film—an Australian “prom” horror that moves along at a clip and cuts you up as it goes. We’ve got daddy issues, outdated pop-country radio hits, and DIY The Descent creatures.Throw on your pinkest, poofiest dress, pin that corsage, and gird your loins for The Loved Ones.

Tucker And Dale vs. Evil (2010)

Well howdy do, listeners! This week on the pod, we’re talking wood chippers, chainsaws, and nailguns with Eli Craig’s satirical hillbilly horror-comedy Tucker And Dale vs. Evil (2010).
 
A perennial entry in the world of epic misunderstandings in fiction, we dig into the idea of stereotypes, playing into while simultaneously subverting horror tropes, and the always incredible Alan Tudyk.
 
So grab a scythe and your biggest jar of pickled eggs and get ready to get silly with us!
