Episode 13: Watch Along for NOCEBO
Life is wild so this week we have another watch along to the 2022 film NOCEBO. I came across this movie in my late night Shudder adventures and had to ask Illy to do a watch along episode.

Episode 5: Them Priests Were Homos Fashomos-THE EXORCIST
Happy Nude Queer Everyone and Happy Birthday to Illy! In our very first episode of 2023 we are covering William Friedkin and William Peter Blatty's THE EXORCIST. I know you can hear the intro in your head now. Listen to why Latinx folks are so committed to this fucking movie and why for some reason all of us saw it before the age of 10. Including Marvin, Iliana, Jae, and Bex: we discuss the potential homosexual relationships throughout the film plus some good ol' discourse on demons, the devil, and the most unbelievable thing- a perfect mother/daughter relationship. Speaking of parents, we've got some major Escared Estories about fathers literally swinging on their demons plus some real life exorcist shit. And speaking of demons, we've got that good ol' 97 year old Nazi sentenced to only 2 years for her role as a typist at the Stutthof Nazi Concentration camp as our Horrible Headline this week. This bitch aided in killing over 10,000 people and got 2 years, be sure to tune in to hear our dismay. Remember to rate and subscribe where you listen to your podcasts!

Episode 3: Hail Mollie, Full of Brains-FRESH
HAIL MOLLIE, FULL OF BRAINS- In this week's episode we are joined by the charming and inquisitive Iliana!
