It's our Texas Frightmare Weekend Special! Come with us to the Hyatt Regency hotel in the DFW airport (seriously!) as we celebrate one of our favorite nerdy pleasures! HORROR MOVIES! First, as we enjoy delicious pints of beer in the hotel bar, we sit down with a friend to discuss what distinguishes horror from other types of movies. Is Silence of the Lambs a horror film? Is Psycho? What about the Hellraiser series? THE ANSWERS MAY SURPRISE YOU! Then we jump forward in time to the drive home, where we reminisce about all the fun we had. The Fright Night reunion panel, meeting Ted Raimi, a strange encounter Willie Aames, and oh my god they couldn't cram more people in that hotel with a tub of lube and a shoehorn. And Amelia has a message for people who think they have the right to demand a refund from a convention because they didn't get their way. We love you for listening!

Omigod, like bag those toenails! Amelia desperately needs a pedicure, and we talk about how fabulous toenail polish is. Then Pitney shares a story you just will NOT believe about a crazy woman who showed up to a poolside potluck and changed his life forever. Texas Frightmare Weekend is coming up soon, and we're excited that Chris Sarandon is going to be there, not only because we love Fright Night, but because Verity Noslen always said he was a "major him." This reminds us of yet another Verity story we think you'll enjoy! Pitney has been rewatching Deep Space Nine, and we talk about queerness in the Star Trek universe and surprising fan reactions to some same-sex storylines. This leads us into a discussion on queerness in fandom and the recent so-called controversy with the new Beauty and the Beast movie and Disney heroines being secret lesbians! Here's that article about how Belle should have ended up with Gaston: https://www.google.com/amp/observer.com/2017/03/beauty-and-the-beast-why-belle-should-have

Who is Florence Foster Jenkins? Your new muse, that's who! Learn about this fascinating woman who sang her heart out despite being rather terrible at it, who became the toast of New York during the days of Toscanini and Caruso, and who inspired a movie that would earn Meryl Streep her 20th Oscar nomination. Hear about the world of ladies' clubs, tableaux vivants, and the scourge of syphilis. But most of all, hear a voice quite unlike anything you've ever experienced. And while we're at it, we review the movie and the performances of Meryl, Hugh Grant, and Simon Helberg, too. Because it's all SO GOOD. Dance like no one is watching, love like you've never been hurt, and SING LIKE FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS AT CARNEGIE HALL! We love you for listening! Please take a moment to rate and review us!

This week we're giving you a little of everything! We talk about a scary way women used to clean their ladybits, recurring dreams and nightmares, refusing to comply with dress codes, yelling at cake, Barbie's musical career in the 80s and 90s, and the way Amelia tends to attract guys who pretend to be famous. And in the middle of it all, we declare our undying love for Tim Curry and our reasons for NOT going to meet him in Dallas. We love you for listening! Please take a moment to rate and review us!

You have GOT to DESTROY that MATTRESS! Amelia is delving into the world of Hellraiser and Pitney helps her along on her journey, as they discuss what the movies are about, their obsession with Skinless Julia and that damn mattress, and the time Pitney made Doug Bradley (Pinhead) laugh! It's Ceno-bitchen! Have you been wondering where this podcast name comes from? It's a funny story. Actually, it's several funny stories. And one of them indirectly involves Verity Noslen! Then Pitney and Amelia went to see the new Jordan Peele movie GET OUT and loved it so much they reviewed it while sitting in a Chili's. (Audio quality is surprisingly good!

Pitney and Amelia are nothing if not gourmet! Listen as they share their love of experimenting in the kitchen and experiencing new cuisines, telling stories of how they learned to cook, sharing tips and recipes, and insisting on the French pronunciation of La Croix.

Privilege. Many of us have it, and most don't understand what it is and get super defensive when the subject comes up. Amelia explains one kind of privilege that you probably have and she doesn't. You see, she's lefthanded, and life isn't as easy for her as it is for righthanded people. She won't rest until you appreciate how the world is literally, physically laid out for you, ya righthanded bastards. Then Amelia confesses to something really gross and embarrassing that happened with the Worst Person in the World in order to tell you what a jerk he was afterwards. Then Pitney and Amelia reminisce about all those things that kids today just don't understand, like the superiority of vinyl records, VHS tapes, Disney re-releasing their classic movies in the theaters again and again, cool non-corporate radio stations, popular songs with cussing in them, and reading actual physical books.

Welcome to a Valentine's Day episode filled with utterly unromantic stuff! Amelia hates Valentine's Day. HATES. IT. Find out her many reasons, including one story of a Valentine's dinner date gone horribly awry! Then, speaking of horrors, Pitney talks about his love of My Bloody Valentine, and the St. Valentine's Day massacre! Plus a really icky Von Lichtenstein story!

Pitney explains his obsession with organized crime and  mafia documentaries, and talks about his personal childhood encounters with mobsters and their shady dealings. Then Amelia jumps in with a quick story about the Worst Person in the World. Please excuse Pitney's very excited dog Joxer making a racket in the background with the squeaky toy. He's a good puppy.

Happy Holidays! This week, we talk about family traditions and how families come up with their own special way of celebrating Christmas. Trees, fancy or no? Or both? Does Santa wrap presents? When do you open presents? There's a lot that goes into a Christmas tradition! Then Amelia surprises Pitney with a festive Christmas edition of the game "Fuck Marry Kill!"

We've gotten some questions about Wicca lately, so we decided to answer them. Pitney teaches us, in a nutshell, about the Wheel of the Year, about rituals and spellwork, and about the duality of deity. Amelia does her best to keep up.

Happy Thanksgiving! It's been a weird year, but there's always something to give thanks for, right?

What a week, huh? We swear it's a coincidence that we're putting up a podcast about being happy during a week when a lot of us are so miserable. But Amelia DID change her mind about calling this episode "Get Happy, Stupid!" so we all won, in a way. Some people are just determined to be DOWN all the time, you know? Maybe you feel like happiness isn't real because you don't think you can be happy. We think you're just doing it wrong. And we know stuff, because we've been around the block a few thousand times. We learned the hard way how to avoid drowning in sadness and self-pity. Let's get out of the bitter barn and play in the hay! We love you for listening! Please take a moment to rate and review us!

It's our 13th episode, and it's Halloween! Our favorite holiday by far. The sights, the sounds, the scares, all of it!   We tell stories of our glorious party days of the past and the complications of putting scary decorations on a "murder house."   Then we get to the educational bit where we talk about the origins of Halloween traditions and how American Halloween was shaped over the years! (Shoutout to Hiawatha, KS and the @HalloweenFrolic!)   And finally, all that healthy nonsense surrounding giving candy to kids. Don't be the jerk who gives out pennies! We hate that guy!

We LOVE horror movies. A lot. And this is the time of year when regular people are in the mood for horror, so we got to chatting about horror movies through the decades, and how they often tend to reflect the times!   When we get to the 1980s, it's all about demonic influence on teenagers, so you know we just had to reminisce about the Satanic Panic! Do you remember all that ridiculous crap? Cuz we sure do! We talk about Michelle Remembers, the Oak Hill Satanic Ritual Abuse trial of Dan and Fran Keller, and Amelia tells the story of a time when the Texas Rangers got called to investigate some Karo syrup.

As we continue our conversation about gender, we talk about tone and attitude in interactions, particularly on social media, and whether or not people are truly willing to learn from each other. In other words, shit gets real. Like, really real. Maybe you're non-binary, maybe you've never even thought about gender before; either way you may learn something! (Split into two podcasts for your comfort, because we talked till we dropped. This is part two. Please listen to part one first!)
