Ep 43: Terror Train

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

We're a day late because that day after NYE is always rough, but we're bringing you a movie that makes its away on a lot of NYE horror watchlists when it probably shouldn't be??

We're ushering in 2024 with 1980's Terror Train!

Merry Christmas from us here at TAF! This week we switched it up from our planned Christmas movie to something worse: Jack Frost. Not to be confused with the Michael Keaton one, which honestly, probably could be a horror movie on its own.

Ep 41: Candyman

This week we get together and talk about 1992's Candyman.

Yes, there's a cricket chirping in the background the entire time. No, there's nothing we could do about it. Nature is gonna nature.

But enjoy us talking over it and having a good time!

Check out episode 9 where we talked about 2021's Candyman!

Ep 40: Barbarian

This week we're talking 2022's Barbarian! It's a bit of a long-winded one but that's only because we had lots of important things to talk about...like...Bill Skarsgard.

Oh, and things like aged breast milk, Mr Wizard vs Bill Nye, and our usual tangents peppered throughout.

And Lauren continues to say all the unhinged things.

Ep 39: Dracula (English & Spanish Versions)

We're back this week with a long-awaited pick from Ash where we discuss both the American and Spanish versions of 1931's Dracula. Did y'alSl even know there was a Spanish version? Better yet, did y'all even know they were both filmed at the same time using the same sets?

Listen and find out all about it!

Ep 38: Summer Horror

We're back this week to give our picks for some summer horror flicks that we love to watch when we're trying to not think about melting from this heat.

Ep 37: Lunopolis

This week Stacey and Ash get together once again with guest host, Chris, to talk about the underseen and underrated(depends on who you're asking) sci-fi, time travel flick Lunopolis. It's not a TAF episode if you don't hear every sound possible in Stacey's background and if there was a moon colony, would they be cousin-fuckers (I think we all know who asks this question)?

Ep 36: Coherence

This week we're talking about 2013's underseen sci-fi mindbender, Coherence! (Full disclosure: we recorded this ep back in 2022 but completely forgot to post it, so here you are!)

Ash can't stop talking about orgies. Stacey is terrified of her doppelganger. Lauren would beat the shit out of her double given the chance. What do you do when a comet passes over your town and decides to start switching up alternate dimensions on you?

Ep 35: Grave Encounters

This week we're talking about everybody's favorite mock-ghost hunting found footage flick, 2011's Grave Encounters. Would you just lay down and die or try to survive if you were stuck in a haunted asylum where time just decided to not exist and warp-faced ghouls chased you? Listen to find out what Stacey, Lauren, and Ash think (it's about what you'd expect.)

Ep 34: Free For All

This week Ash and I had on a guest to join us in a random mix bag of topics. We talk Ash's premature Halloween decorating and his sliding scale for how he gives out candy. We also talk about movies we've seen lately from Scream 6 to Evil Dead Rise, long movies (Stacey still hates them), the insane Mac and Me ending that should have been, and what movies that are coming soon that we'd like to see. Of course we get off track by the end, but that's the fun of it all.

Ep 33: Insidious: Chapter 3

We're back with another episode in the Insidious universe! We're talking the prequel to James Wan's previous two chapters taking us back into the Further with less cool demons? ghosts? With a directorial debut from Leigh Whannell, does this one hold up against its former flicks? Listen and find out!

Ep 32: Insidious: Chapter 2

We continue the Insidious series with Chapter 2!

We discuss the chaotic nature of the film, why owning a piano is a....Caucasian thing, and if you're still wondering do the Lambert children get forgotten about again, yes, they do.

Ep 31: Insidious

We're back this week with a TAF favorite. We talk 2011's INSIDIOUS and of course it's not without our usual musings on things such as Stacey and Lauren's mutual love/obession?? for Patrick Wilson, what our favorite scariest part of the film is, and what's not the best meal to have after being held captive by a demon for several months.

Ep 30: The Blob

This week we're sitting down to talk about 1988's squish-tastic remake of THE BLOB. We continue to torture Lauren with movies that have disgusting noises and somehow manage to bring fleshlights and prolapsed buttholes into the conversation, of course.

(Re-Release) New Year's Evil

It's been a rough end of year, but we couldn't leave yall with nothing for the fart end of 2022! Here's our re-release from last NYE on a TAF favorite! Cheers everyone, and we'll see you in 2023!

----

2021 is just about over! Let's end the year with a holiday-appropriate episode, where Ash and Stacey talk about the under-watched (maybe for a good reason?), NEW YEAR'S EVIL. Mike had to sit this one out, but he'll be back next week!

Here's to 2022!

Ep 29: Trick r Treat

WE'RE BACK!
Oh, an unexpected TAF disappearance, nothing y'all haven't weathered before!

This is a bit of an older ep, just by 2 months, (hence the reason it's Halloween-themed), but we couldn't let it go to waste.

Enjoy a seasonal favorite of ours!

Ep 27: Son

This week we're joined by our special guest, John, from Under The Floorboards podcast! We gave him free reign to pick a movie, and now we're here, with a flick from Shudder, 2021's SON.

Ash is inappropriate as usual, Lauren and I weigh the pros and cons (pros mostly) about mothering the Antichrist, and John probably wonders the whole time how he ended up here with us.
