    Nov 13 2024

    The Ghouls explore Immaculate, a psychological horror film that delves into themes of bodily autonomy and the dark side of faith through the story of a nun's involuntary pregnancy. We also tackle the systemic misogyny within the Catholic Church, examining how nuns are marginalized and how the Church’s stance on reproductive rights reflects hypocrisy. Join us as we unpack the chilling connections between this horror narrative and real-world issues surrounding women's rights, control, and abuse within religious institutions.

    Oct 30 2024

    Late Night with the Devil is a campy horror that cleverly intertwines reality with the supernatural.

Gabe discusses the film’s bold commentary on media manipulation and our obsession with the occult, drawing parallels to real-life spiritualism. Kat uncovers the mysterious Bohemian Grove, the secretive society that inspired the film’s cult elements, and how its rituals echo in the eerie world of Jack Delroy’s Night Owls.
