Can't handle scary movies? Neither can legal influencer, sometimes rapper and general scaredy-cat Peach. To help him overcome his horror aversion, his best friend Shag is talking him through the plots, the kills, the blood and the thrills of iconic video nasties, one Wikipedia synopsis at a time.

This is a recap podcast for anyone interested in scary movies, especially if you can only watch them through your fingers. Join the Feel Bad Club!

May 16, 202122 min

87. Re-Animator

Peach is both shocked and amused by a cult classic that's both high camp and highly problematic (like all 80's horror films). Also, do YOU know how to pronounce Van Gogh? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apr 04, 202147 min

81. Maniac (1980)

Mar 28, 202132 min

80. Raw

This 2017 French cannibal coming-of-age drama will make you gag, but also make you feel. Can we get a "ooh la la"? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

79. Dark Whispers Vol. 1 (feat. Megan Riakos)

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mar 14, 202139 min

Mar 07, 202145 min

77. Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil

Feb 28, 202143 min

Spider eating, courtroom drama, Laura Linney believing in demons – this film has it all! Also priests are superheroes, and demons love 3am apparently? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feb 14, 202144 min

74. Society (feat. Alexei Toliopoulos)

We're joined by podcasting legend Alexei Toliopoulos to chat one of the craziest films we've ever covered (sorry Peach). And like the 'Society (1989)', you HAVE to stick around till the end of this episode. Trust us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feb 07, 202153 min

Jan 31, 202138 min

72. Cam

Though Peach almost faints from the (wikipedia description of) blood, this economically effective techno doppelgänger horror film deserves twin thumbs up. Also, should we start an OnlyFans? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jan 24, 202143 min

71. Final Destination

Dec 06, 202035 min

65. Bone Tomahawk
