In 1978 there was no such thing as the "slasher" genre. Psycho and Black Christmas were oddities in the thriller genre. Until one very tall man stole a tan station wagon and drove it Haddonfield to steal a featureless white mask from the general store, walk slowly with a butcher knife, and steal headstones. And thus was cinema changed forever.

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★Rebroadcast - The First Purge
Progressively Horrified
02/23/22 • 162 min
Fright Level: Spooky (a little scary) with large amounts of existential dread
Trigger Warnings: attempted sexual assault, jump scares, violence, gore, racial violence, depictions of white supremacy groups, explosions
The First Purge is about as subtle as a brick to the face and it's about as affective too. This movie finally realizes the ideas that previous iterations of The Purge have been circling around and it only took the Trump presidency to make it happen.
The government has legalized all crime in Staten Island for one night and they're ready for the people to hit the streets and get their murder on. But when things don't go as expected, will the government have to take their medicine or will they conspire to directly cause the mass murder of black and brown people in the projects via organized hit squads? I mean, it's not like the government ever ran up in people's homes and started shooting before, right?

In 1984, Wes Craven brought Robert Englund to haunt our dreams as the blade handed, dream haunting, gone but not forgotten psychopath Fred Krueger. To this day, he's been keeping kids awake late into the night. Luckily for us, one teen girl had a library card, access to shotgun shells, and a penchant for lucha libre.

- Stars: Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp, Robert Englund
Talking Points:
- Practical special effects at their all time best

Anna and the Apocalypse - Pride Rebroadcast
Progressively Horrified
06/14/21 • 158 min
Fright Level: Spoopy (not scary) with mild jump scares and moderate existential dread
Trigger Warnings: zombies, gore, pandemics, high school, musicals, Christmas
Anna and the Apocalypse is a 2017 horror/comedy/musical from Scotland that combines our love of musicals set in high schools and zombie horror comedies set in England. It's directed by John McPhail and it stars Ella Hunt, Malcolm Cumming, Christopher Leveaux, Marli Siu, Mark Benton, Paul Kaye, and the podcast's new girlfriend Sarah Swire and new boyfriend Ben Wiggins.
This movie has us co-sleeping in ballpits, fantasizing about power throuples, and examining the effects of toxic masculinity on how we deal with apocalypses and friendships. We also talk extensively about Sarah Swire's portrayal of Steph North and how rare it is to have a non-sexualized queer woman with social anxiety, a warm winter wardrobe, and a hatchback in a horror movie, despite the fact that that describes a quarter of our friend group. We are Soldiers at War for this movie and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.
