About this episode

The episode explores the terrifying aspects of cooking, including historical poisonings and film reviews.

Is cooking art? Is it trauma? Is it a gateway to poisoning your enemies? On this week's FriGay the 13th, we're stirring the pot — literally and historically — and diving into why the kitchen might be the scariest room in the house. We kick things off with an opening skit featuring Matty eating pasta like a raccoon behind a 7-Eleven (Andrew's words, not ours). From there, things only escalate. 🔪 HORROR IN REAL LIFE — Foodies and the insufferable beauty of "The Menu" — SNAP, growing up cooking, and why everyone on the internet wants you to "scroll to recipe" — Poisonings throughout history: Aqua Tofana, inheritance powder, arsenic queens, mushroom murders, bleach coffee, and more — Listeria outbreaks + the worst food poisonings on record TL;DR: Trust nobody's cooking. Especially your spouse's. 🎥 WHATCHA BEEN WATCHIN' +Andrew: The Naked Gun, Guts & Glory, Nobody Wants This S2, The Capulets +Matty: FRANKENSTEIN, IN WAVES AND WAR, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, STRANGER THINGS S4 🍷 FILM 1: THE MENU (2022) Ratings: Matty 4.5 / Andrew 5 🔥 FILM 2: HOUSE OF SPOILS (2024) Ratings: Matty 5 / Andrew 4 🧡 SUPPORT US!
