ICYMI: NEW EPISODE WEEK! #Malignant is so fun, so I try to ruin it by asking: what are we calling “the cancer,” and why?

Another film and another chance for us to explore James Wan’s distrust (or downright hatred) of medical professionals.

ICYMI: @tracedthurman.bsky.social joined @jennferatu.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social to discuss the exploitation vibes of AMITYVILLE 2. Hit up @bloody-disgusting.com and @bloodyfm.bsky.social to read/listen 👇

If I’ve been quiet recently , it’s because I’m processing rage of Milly Shapiro not being Carrie in Flanagan’s reboot. Y’all love stories about folks with disabilities or that may “look different” as long as you don’t actually have to see it.

If the Season Finale of THE PITT isn’t a reveal that Robby is Dr. Carter in the Witness Protection Program….

Spitballing ideas: crossover episode of @murdermfiction.bsky.social and I chatting about HEAVENLY CREATURES?

THE RULE OF JENNY PEN is now on Shudder and I need y’all to dip your toes into the cool waters of John Lithgow with a puppet.

Shared my recent fave TikTok videos with my besties I realized I travel high in the following content: @bjcolangelo.bsky.social Roll for Breakfast (I eat breakfast once a year so…) Horror movie reviews Cats (the feline and not either my most hated musical or movie)

ICYMI: Episode of NOVACAINE is up. Made me so happy to delve into rare diseases and was pleasantly surprised how central the condition ended up being in the whole story. CIPA is a condition - like mine - that has a shortened life expectancy and it definitely impacts the way we relate to our bodies.

The cast supporting NORD for Rare Disease Day sealed the deal that I drop switch swap the schedule to highlight this film. Let’s talk about CIPA. Isolation. INTERNAL DAMAGE.

I really can’t wait to talk about THE RULE OF JENNY PEN.

NEW EPISODE ALERT: Let’s explore complicated feelings about the portrayal of intellectual disabilities in THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE, shall we?

Just finished APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. I knew the story going in but it didn’t stop my rage from being ignited anew.

I swear I’m gonna shut up at some point today BUT I’m fucking proud of this new thing over at @dreadcentral.bsky.social. Huge thanks to @cassclarke.bsky.social for listening to my podcasts and alerting me that I said something interesting in my tipsy rants. www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/5...

A handful of new followers, so let me introduce myself. My name is Nichole. Born with a rare disease. Intersex. Horror films are one of the languages I use to talk about disability and, specifically, my own lived experience. Grateful to be here.

Loved this read. @glitterburrito.bsky.social is such a wordsmith.

Today has been a day.

COMPANION wasn’t a film I honestly intended on covering. I went in to my screening just expecting a clean, fun time. And then the film and that ending happened. Another entry to the podcast archives for my fellow bionic friends.

Tomorrow on #AOASPodSquad: @bodiesofhorror.bsky.social returns to look at bodily autonomy in recent horror film #companion. Haven't seen the film? It's out on PVOD tomorrow, too!

Regular reminder: have folks you love living in DC? Do they happen to be a federal employee? Check in on them.

Please keep your eugenics to killing me and let’s leave my cat out of the fucking narrative.

Love, romance, sex, and all the pain that’s comes with? Let’s talk about where horror and love intermingle. Some of my faves? SPRING BONES & ALL MONKEY SHINES (I WILL take questions) YOUR MONSTER TEETH SPONTANEOUS EXCISION YOU’VE GOT MAIL

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG YESSSSSSSSS. This movie is SPECIAL and I will set my alarm for when this episode drops for immediate listening joy.

I’m clearly still on a high after the halftime show. I wrote a streaming list of 10 horror films with hip hop vibes for you to check out. inlovewithhorror.com/blogs/news/b...

I am seeing red. @momoshaty.bsky.social is a legend to my mind and the work/passion expressed in elevating voices struggling to otherwise be heard is awe-inspiring. Soldier on, and in defiance of this fuckery.
