Welcome back, deer listeners, as it’s time for another episode of Don’t Read the Latin! This time, Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are coming atcha with their favorite movies about our domesticated buddies taking matters into their own paws! Side note: Rhias says the movie Roar is about lions, but I seem to remember it being about tigers. I think this bears more research. Oh, my!

Hey there, it’s time for another Don’t Read the Latin! This time around, Rhias Hall and Jennifer Lovely talk about folk horror. They’re not on the same page as to what makes a movie folk horror, but Max the yelling cat soon sets them straight.

Hey Latin fans, we’re back again, and this time around Rhias Hall was under the weather, so Jennifer Lovely called an audible and brought in me, Handsome Husband Jim for a show about hidden gems from the last 10 years. We have different tastes, so they’re very different lists. We also go over a couple of new movies, like Pet Sematary, but we cut the spoilery stuff to go after the credits. So if you want the whole truth of our opinions, keep listening like it was a Marvel movie for that after-cre...

With a punny title like that, I feel like the opening here should be, “Hello, kiddies, welcome to another episode of Tales From The Crypt Don’t Read The Latin!” This time, Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are joined by Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School to talk about their favorite books turned into movies. Spoiler: A fair number of them are vampire ones for some reason *cough*Jillian*cough* And check out Rhias’ and Jillian’s podcast The Night Library for more book-related content! (Note: the ...

Hey, we’re back again, and this time Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall talk about movies with tiny terrors in them. They’re joined by our own little monster, Max the cat, who has big kitty opinions on everything. And no, I still haven’t watched Tag yet.

Hey, horror fans, Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are back, this time to discuss the genre of films various called Psychobiddy, Hagsploitation, or, as Jen prefers it, Grand Dame Guignol. Rhias will explain it better than I could in the episode, but it involves older actresses returning to the screen in horror roles. Plus the cats have lots of opinions, and little girls get nosebleeds. Enjoy!

It’s the end of the year and that means a look back at the horror movies of the past 365 days, though it feels like 365,000. Did you know that Black Panther came out this year? Crazy, right?

As foretold in last episode’s micommunication, this week your hosts discuss horror that happens in one place (but not in a house, since they just did that). Listen as Jennifer Lovely gives credit where it’s due for a director she dislikes, and Rhias Hall apologizes to Dave Navarro. Plus Handsome Husband Jim goes 1-1 for film recommendations!

Welcome back to Don’t Read the Latin, where two older ladies argue! (Trust me, that’ll make more sense after you listen.) This one is about horror movies set in houses… or at least that was the idea. Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall take you to a cul-de-sac of creepiness, so lock your doors and stay safe!

We are back, and if you hear something shuffling down the hall asking for Mommy and Daddy, don’t answer, because it’s time for Creepy Kids! Rhias Hall and Jennifer Lovely break down their favorites of the genre, but it’s just for toddlers and up. Babies are their own kind of awful: awfully delicious!

After some minor technical difficulties, we are back, and this time around your hosts Rhias Hall and Jennifer Lovely talk about the movies they know are bad (or at least other people think they are), but love them anyway. And as a side note, I, Handsome Fiance Jim, think that the Howling werewolves were terrifying with their too-long, weirdly jointed fingers, and that the Brendan Fraser Mummy was the bomb; it totally buckled my swash.

After Labor Day comes the fruits of our labors: a new episode! In this one, your hosts Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are joined by their vampire expert friend, Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School ! Together, they discuss their favorite vampire movies you might not know about, from the 30’s until today!

Welcome back for the big eight-oh of Don’t Read the Latin! This time, your hosts Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are on board for talking about Final Girls.

Hey everyone, Don’t Read the Latin undergoes a slightly new format with this episode, where your hostesses will be choosing a number of films to discuss instead of ranging all over the topic, so that they can delve a little deeper into the movies.

A new episode appears! Your hostesses Jennifer and Rhias discuss horror with a religious bent. While we’ve done shows on the devil and exorcisms, this covers the general topic more broadly, hitting things like pagan religions and angels. On a technical note, I’d like to apologize for the sound quality on this one, I hit the wrong switch on the mic so it’s really crackly. I did the best I could, but it’s definitely not my best work. However, without further ado, here’s the picture of Rhias, Jilli...

It’s that time again, and Jennifer and Rhias are joined by Lisa (from the Noir! episode), and Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School to talk about fairy tales: their horrifying origins, the stories of women they contain, and the movies that hold those things close to their celluloid hearts. Join them as they rip those hearts out and feast, including a few movies that you might not have thought of as fairy tales, then wind down with them as they discuss their own childhood stories and movies.
