Where horror meets feminism meets film class without any homework! With a shared passion for all things spooky, Rachel (she/her) and Judas (they/them) examine one film a week through the lens of intersectional feminism.
The Hungry Lover: Jennifer's Body & Sexuality as Horror
After an extended holiday break, Judas and Rachel sit down in their little zoom windows to discuss a movie they both regard as high art: Jennifer's Body. With a reading appropriately titled "Lesbians Who Bite", this episode explores the use of women's sexuality as an element of horror, and some of the horrors of being a woman with sexual agency in society.

To Have A Body: Zombieland & Disability in Horror
In this episode, after watching Zombieland, Rachel and Judas dip into discussing disability & fatphobia both in horror and in real life and how that affects us. As usual, they talk about random stuff too like batman, iron man, a very special fanfiction near and dear to all our hearts (you'll have to listen to know what it is though, just kidding, it's linked below).

Here's Johnny!: The Shining & Toxic Masculinity
In this episode, Judas and Rachel take a metaphorical axe to the doors of toxic masculinity as they discuss The Shining, Kubrick's Authorial intent and how that probably differs from our feminist viewing of the film. We talk about complexities of family, abuse, and how toxic masculinity is a big player in the story of Jack Torrence.
Trigger warnings: multiple mentions and discussion of abuse and domestic violence.
