   Companion (2025)

   This is my 69th episode and my theme of the month is Incel Horror. I have a feeling that when we look back on horror in the future, the defining subgenre of the 2020s is going to be incel horror. Every decade seems to have its signature fears, and ours feels increasingly focused on loneliness, misogyny, entitlement, coercive control, and online radicalization. Instead of asking us to fear monsters lurking in the shadows, these films ask us to fear something much more familiar: people who believe they're owed love, sex, attention, or control over another human being. guest Information: James-Michael founder of HORROR PRESS https://horrorpress.com/#google_vignette (https://horrorpress.com/#google_vignette) https://www.instagram.com/horrorpressllc?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsi=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== (https://www.instagram.com/horrorpressllc?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsi=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) Resources: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26584495/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26584495/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/01/celebrity-surgeon-nbc-news-producer-scam?srsltid=AfmBOoqvDMf-vbNHdu5FPcO6Ye315hnc3hFsF2E9zrV-JJfBSS7yu4lC (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/01/celebrity-surgeon-nbc-news-producer-scam?srsltid=AfmBOoqvDMf-vbNHdu5FPcO6Ye315hnc3hFsF2E9zrV-JJfBSS7yu4lC)

   They Will Kill You (2026)

   "Eat the Rich" horror is a subgenre of horror that critiques capitalism and class inequality by portraying the ultra-wealthy as the enemy. Rather than treating the 1% as merely out-of-touch, these stories present elite privilege as a predatory force built on the exploitation, degradation, and literal destruction of the working class. And you know what, I agree with them.

   The Hunt (2020)

   This is my 67th episode and my theme of the month is EAT THE RICH. "Eat the Rich" horror is a subgenre of horror that critiques capitalism and class inequality by portraying the ultra-wealthy as the enemy. Rather than treating the 1% as merely out-of-touch, these stories present elite privilege as a predatory force built on the exploitation, degradation, and literal destruction of the working class. And you know what, I agree with them.
