Progressively Horrified

The beginning of our new Patreon Series!Since we wrapped up talking about the Wachowskis last month, the day after Halloween seemed like the perfect time to start up our new Progressively Horrified Patreon exclusive series. And, as with all of these, we're going to make the first one available to all listeners and each following one Patreon exclusive. So, if you want to hear us talk about Karl Urban playing Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II, you better get over to Patreon and show us a little love. $5 is more than enough to get all of our bonus episodes over there.But this time it's Resident Evil, the 2026 adaptation, which is notably not a remake of the first attempt at making a Resident Evil movie or the second attempt at making a Resident Evil franchise (Welcome to Raccoon City). And it's by podcast favorite Zack Cregger, so you knew we couldn't pass it up!Who's responsible for this?

First Ben had a sudden deadline fall in their lap. Then Emily got sick. But Jeremy decided to soldier on without them! After all, comic writer Justin Jordan was joining the podcast for the first time and we were talking about the really good and very queer horror film Cuckoo.Then, Jeremy's entire neighborhood lost power for a full 12 hours mid-episode.However! Justin was a real trooper and came back to finish talking to Jeremy about Cuckoo in spite of all the many many reasons potentially not to.As a result, the sound is also a little weird and the episode is Frankensteined together from two different recordings.
