Pod People, your intrepid hosts both turned 40 this year, and we decided that called for celebration! How are we celebrating on the pod? We each picked one of our all-time favorite horror films to revisit and discuss in depth. First, we discussed Nikki's pick, Alien, and now it's time to go low, low, low, low, low, low, low with Tiffany's pick, Neil Marshall's The Descent (2005). Join us as we discuss why this movie (and Final Destination) made us afraid of following cars hauling damn near anything, the terror of betrayal (especially within female friend groups), cave spelunking gone wrong, the incredible set design that brought these caves to life, lakes of blood...or something like that, and the original ending that was just too bleak to show in theaters in the U.S.

Let's talk beauty standards, cultural assimilation, body horror, and filmmaking, Pod People! In this episode, we chat with award-winning Aotearoan Lee Murray about the film Grafted, on which she was a writer. We discuss how she brought her lived experience as a third generation Chinese New Zealander to the script for Grafted, the relatable desire to fit in even at the cost of cultural identity, Lee's favorite bloody scene from the film, and Asian representation within the genre.

As of the recording of this episode, Grafted was streaming on Shudder. Go check it out!

Pod People, your intrepid hosts both turned 40 this year, and we decided that called for celebration! How are we celebrating on the pod? We each picked one of our all-time favorite horror films to revisit and discuss in depth. First up is Nikki's pick - Ridley Scott's Alien (1979). Join us as we explore space in the Nostromo, ogle over mama-Xenomorph's wet-wet-wet grandeur, and empathize with the shit Jonesy has seen (poor kitty!). We discuss Sigourney Weaver's killer performance, the use of offal and milk for practical effects, and why the film endures as a personal favorite of ours.
