Wellllll hello buddies welcome back to THE PERFECT GAME and this week, Katie is...sick as a dog, and oh boy does it show.

Welcome Buddies, to THE PERFECT GAME. And yeah, it's slowly killing us a little bit, but we'll do anything in pursuit of The Bit. For the first week of TPG, and yeah, it's got its own initialism, we watched the following: Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Calibre (2018), Hausu (1977), The Long Walk (2025), Child's Play (1990), Host (2020) and V/H/S/ Halloween (2025). That's so many movies, but fear not, we have sooooo many opinions. Support the show

We're back! After a brief hiatus in the desert, Katie and Cyrus triumphantly return to regale our precious listeners with tales of all the horror properties we watched on our vacation - Alien Earth S1E1 (2025), Alien: Covenant (2017), The Ritual (2017), and The Night House (2020). Also included are the plans for the rest of October,m our "perfect game", and weird transatlantic announcer accents. Support the show

This week, Cyrus and Katie sit down for a movie with that starts out promising and turns into a total disjointed trainwreck - not unlike this podcast! All You Need Is Death (2023) has everything - affairs, folk music, an old lady in a cupboard, shadow monsters, gender weirdness, and PUPPETS. Come on down and shame Cyrus for being a hiking pervert, listen to our hot takes about bad movie titles, and where to get yourself a Temu vaginoplasty. Support the show

A pet baby alligator is flushed down a toilet and survives in the city sewers. Twelve years later, it grows to an enormous size thanks to a diet of discarded laboratory dogs injected with growth hormones. Now, humans have entered the menu. Horror movies can be about a lot of things - grief, loneliness, change, the unknown - but sometimes, horror is about a scary thing being REALLY, REALLY BIG. Alligator is a movie that says "the alligator is very scary in its natural habitat, so let's take it...

Determined to outshine her beautiful stepsister, Elvira resorts to extreme measures to win the prince's heart in this dark re-imagining of the Cinderella fairy tale. We're jumping to the U's for a second to bring you guys Den Stygge Stesøsteren (2025) - The Ugly Stepsister for us English speakers, and this one is a DOOZY. Y'all, this one is so good. It's so gross. It's so good and so gross. A beautiful body horror nightmare that had us literally squirming in our seats and nauseated just think...

A group of artists' lives become unwittingly entangled as their obsessions and insecurities manifest monsters, demons, and death. We're back in it buddies, this time with Allegoria (2022), an anthology movie directed by a man named SPIDER ONE and if that's not enough to get you interested, well, we're just wildly different people then. This week, Cyrus and Katie pick apart this low-budget anthology piece and while it's a little unfocused, we liked it's solid acting and decent dialogue! Come b...

Send us a text "During the final throes of the last Carlist war, a little girl is rescued from an orphanage by a mysterious woman who lives deep inside the forest." All The Moons is a Basque film, and the first vampire movie to be covered on Shudder Buddies (if you don't count our bonersode on Sinners (2025), which I do not) and it's....well, it's a slow, contemplative, meditative take on the vampiric condition. Beautifully shot, well-acted, well-cast, and from a region we knew very little ab...

"The spirit of a comatose teen girl possesses the body of a newcomer to her girls boarding school to enact bloody revenge against the elitist, lingerie-clad coeds responsible for her condition." Cyrus and Katie get into their first Giallo this week with Aenigma, a Fulci joint that is wild. Snails, evil statues, telekinesis - Aenigma has it all, buuuuuut kind of underdelivers on its main premise. And on the lingerie-clad coeds. We were promised lingerie-clad coeds!!! Still, come and join us fo...

"Chuck Wilson hopes to start a new life after a family tragedy when he moves to the town of Ashland Falls with his wife Maria and little sister Elizabeth, but he quickly discovers that the town has a dark secret." Listen, buddies. We knew there'd be some duds in here - we didn't expect quite so big a stinker so early on, but hey, that's life. This week, Cyrus and Katie tackle a movie so incredibly bad they can't even dredge up 30 minutes worth of content about it. A movie trying to make a poi...

"The Olmedo family leaves the countryside to lead a comfortable life and earn more in Madrid, unaware that their new house holds eerie surprises at every corner." There's few things worse than a movie with a lot of potential that ends up magnificently putting its foot in the ectoplasm. This week Cyrus and Katie touch on the things this 2020 Spanish horror film did decently well, and then spend most of the episode groaning about the transphobia and ableism. Horror is a fantastic genre to explo...

"A family inherits a house with 12 ghosts who want a 13th." This week, Cyrus and Katie watch the William Castle classic about a house full of ghosts and the family who is forced to cohabitate with them. This movie has everything - a real actual lion, the Swedish Chef from the Muppets, death bed the bed that eats people, and a horror movie that answers the question: do horror movie husbands be sleepin'? They sure do. We also cover the ""remake"" from 2001, and had a hell of a time doing it. Ma...

"Terror strikes when amateur ghost hunters explore a haunted house in the countryside." Well, Katie spends the whole episode calling this one "0.00mhz", which is incorrect, so we're off to a terrific start. This week, our intrepid buddies check out a Korean horror movie that begs the question "is anything scarier than lots of gross wet hair?". In the episode we discuss Korean shamanism, the differences between eastern and western ghost tropes, and how good of a movie Exhuma (2024) was. Seriou...

"Four social media influencers live stream their trip to Devil's Manor, former home to a satanic cult." Welcome to Shudder Buddies, the show where horror enthusiasts Cyrus and Katie watch and review every single movie on Shudder*! In our opening episode, we review #ChadGetsTheAxe (2022), a found footage-style horror comedy. We also introduce our dear listeners to the BASH scale, the plan for the future, and how much we hate YouTube prank bros. *except human centipede, i simply can...
