Progressively Horrified

NGL, this week has been a tough one, folks. But hopefully, Progressively Horrified can help take your mind off post-election feelings of impending doom. In this episode, writer Amy Chase joins Ben and Jeremy to talk about Totally Killer (2023) - which is Back to the Future meets Scream.

Jeremy, Ben, and Emily talk with Paul Jessup about romance, horror, and disability in Spring (2014).

As October draws to a close, we round out our celebration of Modern Scary Movie Classics with The Exorcist. Also, Ben declares that Pazuzu is their shark. So...that's meaningful.

Jeremy and Emily chat about the lasting legacy of Hitchcock's iconic film Psycho with Tea Fougner, Michael Tanner, and Joe Corallo.

The one in which Lan questions the validity of the entire premise of the podcast - to talk pedantically about concepts that don't really quite apply to horror movies. I mean... you can't prove that shark's not a feminist, Lan.

Jeremy and Emily, along with special guest, writer Sian Ingram (parthenoid.bsky.social), dive into May (2002) and explore the film's representation of neurodiversity and queerness.(Amazingly, they don't reference *NSYNC once) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
