    If we eat enough chicken nuggets our bodies will become so toxic that the singularity won’t be able to harvest our blood for its evil powers.

  • Love the content but…

    It’s really jarring when they all talk over each other. I had to unfollow the show which is a shame because it was great to hear a group of women discuss horror but I couldn’t cope with the multiple voices at once not being able to make them out.

    Long time listener.

    The Lady Killers is like being let into a circle of honest, good & hilarious friends who tell you what you need to hear with kindness & clarity.

    This is a good show but I would change one thing ... It gets grating and difficult to listen to when there are 3 or more ladies and they all talk over each other. You can’t hear what they are saying so it is to their detriment because we don’t hear the points they are making, just a bunch of chattering. I am interested in what they have to say, so I wish they would give each other space to finish speaking before jumping in over each other.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hostel: Part II (2007)
Q: How does Hostel Part II shift the horror gaze compared to the first film?
The panel agrees that the sequel shifts focus from male victims to female protagonists, using their vulnerability and wealth to subvert traditional torture-porn dynamics and critique misogyny.
The Woman in Black (2012)
Q: What do you think is the scariest part?
That time that the lie girl appears is the most troubling as it showed the crippling dread of impending doom.
The Woman in Black (2012)
Q: What's your story with The Woman in Black?
I saw it in theaters when it first came out and I thought it was excellent gothic horror.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) with Julia Marchese
Q: So Julia, what is your story with Sweeney Todd and what's your favorite song?
Sweeney Todd is very important to me actually because I grew up, I was in a children's theater group growing up and then I went to performing arts high school, so musical theater was a big part of my school life.
Curtains (1983) with Joe Lipsett
Q: What is your story with Curtains?
Joe explains his long-term relationship with the film, its charm, and how it acts as a starting point for understanding Canadian horror films.
