Bryan and Joe cross the halfway point of Boom! comics' Hellraiser Resurrections one-shots with "The Deep Gospel."Written by Tini Howard and illustrated by Jenna Chan, Issue 3 focuses on Female Cenobite - here renamed Mother Superior - as she ascends from the Nidus to create her own Order and, in the process, become a character in her own right. It's our fave story so far!Wanna co
Bodies of Horror: Episode 121 - Excision (2012)
Richard Bates Jr.'s Excision (2012) is a fascinating movie that leads us to the intersection of sex, illness, control, and caregiving. It is a film that looks at two bodies that are not “working properly” – one physically, one is “off” behaviorally – and challenges why we treat them so differently.Want to reach out and share your thoughts?

Such Sights To Show: Episode 38 - Wounds (2019)
Bryan and Joe return to discuss Wounds (2019), the adaptation of Nathan Ballingrud's short story "The Visible Filth".Written and directed by Babak Anvari, the film doesn't offer much new beyond the novella, especially the stilted performances by Armie Hammer & Dakota Johnson. Still, we applaud some of the imagery, including the use of real cockroaches and Cronenbergian armpit horror.Reference:
Such Sights To Show: Episode 37 - Wounds: Six Stories From The Border of Hell (2019)
Bryan and Joe return to discuss Nathan Balingrud's short story anthology Wounds: Six Stories From The Border of Hell (2019).This one is <nearly> there for us, though some stories are too short ("The Maw") while others are too long ("Skullpocket").

Bodies of Horror: Episode 117 - Obsession (2026)
Curry Barker’s Obsession (2026) is one of the most-talked about horror movies of the year, and Nichole couldn’t resist getting in on the fun. Instead of focusing on the broader themes of misogyny and what an awful, awful person Bear is, let's recontextualize the relationship between Nikki and Bear through a lens of caring for partner with additional support needs – and the impact it can have.Want

Bryan and Joe return to discuss Gretchen Felker-Martin's 'Hellbound Heart'-referencing Black Flame (2025)The challenging story of a self-hating queer Jewish woman who becomes embroiled in a hallucinatory lost film can be difficult, but we quite like how the novel plays in the sandbox of disgust to explore Ellen's transformation.Plus: "is she going mad or is it real?" narratives; gnarly body horror

Bodies of Horror: Episode 114 - The Harvest (2013)
Nichole delves back into sick kid territory with 2013’s The Harvest. This film does some nuanced things when it comes to the narrative of overbearing, harmful parents/caregivers, which softens the blow of some weaker narrative threads.Instead of the film being an exploration of caregiver stress and burnout, like we’ve covered in other episodes, The Harvest lets us exist with Andy’s perspective alb

Bodies of Horror: Episode 112 - Crazy Old Lady (2025)
Hagsploitation, or narratives that root themselves in “crazy old woman” tropes, can be a lot of fun. They can also inspire a lot of cringe, particularly as we deal with the realities of aging and disability.Crazy Old Lady, an Argentinian film (available on Shudder), brings something new to the table. Unlike other entries in this subgenre, the film allows us to both question and understand the real

Bodies of Horror: Episode 109 - 'Mother of Flies' (2025)
A cure can be alluring – especially when your prognosis is only 6 months. In Mother of Flies, Lena is a young cancer patient who is surrounded by a religious family and community asking her to rely on prayers as her condition becomes more grave. This film also looks at how care becomes a dehumanizing task that can strip someone of autonomy, intentions be damned.Additional Reading: The Adams Family

Terry and Joe tackle our final Lynch title as we discuss Jennifer Lynch's last film, 2012's Chained.From misguided accusations of torture porn to a bizarre 'twist' ending, this film is *interesting*.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 107 - Gremlins (1984)
Bodies of Horror chats about holiday classic Gremlins (1984), but Nichole is keeping the discussion centered on disability, caregiving, and failed systems of care. What begins as a chaotic holiday creature feature reveals deeper anxieties about dependency, rigid rules, moral panic, and who society deems “too much” to support. Gremlins asks whether the real horror lies not in difference, but in our

Terry and Joe descend upon Li Tolqa to discuss Brandon Cronenberg's third film, Infinity Pool (2023), which features a divisive Mia Goth performance (we *love* it BTW).

Terry and Joe cross over the other side of the podcast as we inject ourselves with Brandon Cronenberg's feature debut, Antiviral (2012).It's hard not to compare the film to his famous father's work, what with the sterile setting, the corporate espionage, and the body horror elements.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 103 - The House of the Devil (2009)
Ti West’s 2009 film House of the Devil is a pitch-perfect 70’s/80’s throwback that uses a familiar caregiver premise to pinpoint the perils of aging, caring for a loved one, and dependence. While we have looked at caregiving in a number of episodes, Nichole finds this film puts the societal ideas of caregiving right up front.Additional Reading: Caregiving in the USWant to share your thoughts on th
