Two Chicks and a Horror Flick

This week, we’re firing up the chainsaw and diving into one of the most influential horror films of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Whether you love it, hate it, or simply respect its place in horror history, there’s no denying the cultural impact of Leatherface’s grim, gritty debut. We break down the dinner scene that feels like a fever dream you can’t wake up from, the wild behind-the-scenes stories that make the movie somehow even more unhinged, and why this sun-baked nightm...

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into one of few modern horror slashers — Terrifier. Directed by Damien Leone, this blood-soaked indie became a cult favorite thanks to its sadistic villain, Art the Clown, and its unapologetically brutal approach to slasher horror. Tangents include: The Indifferent Stars Above (a non-fiction book about the Donner Party) and the new Monster: Ed Gein Story Netflix series. This is a pretty catch up heavy episode, so if you want to skip to the movie discussion...

This week, we’re stepping into Ireland’s misty folklore with Fréwaka—the first Irish-language horror film, and oh boy, it does not hold back. This isn’t just a spooky story; it’s a raw, unsettling look at grief, guilt, and the shadows of tradition. Join us as we unpack the film’s haunting atmosphere, dreamlike imagery, and the way it weaves Irish cultural roots into horror that lingers long after the credits. So light a candle, keep an eye on the shadows, and get ready for a conversation that...

We are stoked to be talking about another Zach Cregger film! Just like an incredible pasta, the longer we marinate on this movie the more we like it! We try to puzzle out why the film's named Weapons, get into the possible themes, and theorize about everyone's favorite new aunt Gladys. Tangents include: Trainwreck Area 51, Final Destination, and stickers. If you have seen Weapons we would love to know what you thought about it! Let us know on social media or YouTube! Weapons (2025) Director:...

This week, we jam through Ryan Coogler’s ambitious vampire blues-horror set in 1932 Mississippi. Sinners isn’t your average blood-sucker flick—it’s a visceral, soulful tale of identity, community, and the cost of cultural exploitation. Its lush visuals, haunting blues score, and powerful performances—especially Michael B. Jordan’s dual turn—make it one memorable ride. Tangents include: Tacotopia, incels, fireflies, Tawny’s Nope-like work event, and how to use ChatGPT to cut back (or quiet) al...

CHEERS YA'LL! It's our 5 year anniversary! In this episode, we dive into 28 Years Later. Join us as we talk about illness vs infection, the way the movie humanizes the infected, and the cultural themes of isolation. And you KNOW we have to talk about that contentious ending...but the future of this franchise looks bright! Tangents include: Miriam becoming a behavioral expert, Tawny's treacherous walk in some wooden sandals, and Japan's next level hygiene. If you have seen 28 Years...

We're back with our April episode on Longlegs! This movie generated so much buzz and certainly did well at the box office last year, but what in the hell was going on in the movie? We try to parse the plot while constantly getting hung up on metal balls. Both of us agree that the atmosphere of this movie is great, there's a lot of things to like, but ultimately it didn't come together in the execution. Tangents include: Homeschooling and my size Barbie dolls. If you have seen Longlegs we woul...
