Welcome to the vampire-themed episode that needs no introduction: Twilight. If you enjoy embarrassing childhood confessions, blue-tinted everything, unpacking cringey dialogue, and revelling in the perfection that is Charlie Swan, then this is the episode for you. We welcome Twilight super fans, reluctant watchers, and unapologetic haters–and most especially those like us, who are all three at once.

We are slowly carving out our niche as a silly, chatty podcast where we laugh at all the cozy horror movies we love, while also finding ourselves unable to avoid social commentary – because, at the end of the day, we are #anxiousmillennials through and through. Our discussion on The Lost Boys really goes places, but most of all, it celebrates what is, quite possibly, the most fun vampire movie of all time. Do you agree?

Welcome to our final monster-themed episode: the true and absolutely WILDIN’ story of the Estonia Werewolf Trials. While some of the world was panicking about witches, Estonia decided it wanted to be cool before it was cool, and chose to panic about a whole other beast: werewolves. And the most fun part? One of the locals, a legend known as Old Thiess, was like, yeah, I AM a werewolf. Old Thiess, if you can hear us: you rock. See you on the other side!

Welcome back to another MONSTER-SODE and our first LIVE IN-PERSON recording! This is an extra special episode because today we are watching a total blast from our past and the first movie that we know that we watched together as tweens. Today we are talking about the 2002 live action movie: Scooby Doo!

This episode is a little different because: one, we intro the episode with insight into how non-discerning we are about adult beverages, and two, we recorded our live reactions while watching together (and trying not to fall asleep). It’s a bit chaotic, a bit zany, very much like the Scooby himself. Also catch the blink-and-you’ll miss it cameo from Ashley’s parents dogs, Tallulah and Raylan (video and voiceover cred: Clark Drake). Enjoy?
