Flag that video because Gena, Jenn and Joe are working in content moderation with Uta Briesewitz's American Sweatshop (2025). Starring Riverdale's Lili Reinhart as a woman-turned-vigilante, this film is part of a burgeoning subgenre we're calling "Good For Her...Oops, she took it too far."
Plus: Joel Fry's dangerous character, debate if the film is a call to activism, interchangeable men, and creating a perfect watchlist along with Red Rooms, MFA and The Columnist

Terry and Joe cross over the other side of the podcast as we inject ourselves with Brandon Cronenberg's feature debut, Antiviral (2012).
It's hard not to compare the film to his famous father's work, what with the sterile setting, the corporate espionage, and the body horror elements. There's promise here, but the movie feels too indebted to Cronenberg senior.

Ti West’s 2009 film House of the Devil is a pitch-perfect 70’s/80’s throwback that uses a familiar caregiver premise to pinpoint the perils of aging, caring for a loved one, and dependence. While we have looked at caregiving in a number of episodes, Nichole finds this film puts the societal ideas of caregiving right up front.

Terry and Joe return for a limited series on the children of David Lynch and David Cronenberg.
First up: Jennifer Lynch's feature film debut, Boxing Helena (1993) which drew vicious reviews and accusations of misogyny for its story of a clearly mentally ill man (Julian Sands) who abducts and mutilates the titular object of his affection (Sherilyn Fenn).
While we're not sold on the film as a whole (it's a bit sleepy), it seems as though critics purposefully misread the film, which is an obvious male fantasy.
Plus: Lynch's time in director jail, a HOT Bill Paxton, and debate about what we know of the real Helena

Bryan and Joe reunite to discuss the 25th anniversary of Scott Derrickson's Hellraiser: Inferno (2000) and they've brought along a fan of the film: Ari Drew!
The film finds Craig Sheffer returning to a Clive Barker property after Nightbreed, and, in the first of the DTV sequels, focuses its narrative on a male cop protagonist.
Plus: tagging in Kari Wuhrer, practical FX and new Cenobites, David Lynch noir vibes, and a game changing way to accept Pinhead's new role as a punishing figure.

How bad can a movie with Naomi Watts be? 2016’s Shut In may have you rethinking that, in addition to pondering why Oliver Platt is contractually obligated to play a psychologist in all of his films? We’ll also discuss how this movie takes on tried-and-true horror tropes at the expense of portraying mental health issues and physical disabilities with any real nuance or care.

Gena and Jenn take Joe on a tour of the past as we explore the world of tortured author Shirley Jackson in the forgotten pandemic film, Shirley (2020).
The film is an intimate, meta tale featuring two great female leads in Elisabeth Moss and Odessa Young, plus a pair of shitty husbands, missing children, and an ambiguous lesbian attraction made literal. It's a solid film!

For Episode 101, we’re going Swedish with 2008’s Let the Right One In. Like many tales of vampirism that have been covered on this podcast, the analogy of vampirism as a disability is lit up in bold lights. But then there's also the aspects of caregiving, particularly the two main examples related to Eli seen in the film.

Bryan and Joe reunite once again. This time they're "celebrating" the 20th anniversary of Rick Bota's Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005) and they've brought along Horror Queers' Trace Thurman.
The film stars Henry Cavill in one of his first movie roles, but Rick Bota's movie drew ire from Hellraiser fans for its lack of Pinhead, as well as its mind-numbingly dumb twist ending.
The trio discuss the rushed production, the decent performances and set design (in Romania!), as well as why Cavill's character should have wound up covered in cum.

It is here: Episode 100 of Bodies of Horror! Let’s take a look back at some unique and stand-out episodes of the past almost 5 years and discuss what’s coming up for the next 100.
On a personal note, I want to say how honored I am to have a platform to talk about films through this perspective and I am beyond grateful for the amazing folks it has brought into my life. I am thankful for every guest that has come by to discuss a movie and/or their perspectives on representation.
My whole heart to the Anatomy of a Pod Squad Team for their continued support, patience, and grace. I couldn’t be with a better group of folks.

Jenn, Gena, and Joe are back the incredibly stupid and entertaining "not Lifetime, but might as well be" title The Stranger in My Home (2025).
Starring beautiful plastic people with beautiful shiny hair living in beautiful shiny house porn, this is the perfect title to turn off your brain and relish in the 90s thriller aesthetic.
Plus: concerns about being switched at birth, cheerleading routines, and egregious split screens. It's art!!!

For Episode 98, Bodies of Horror revisits James Whale’s 1931 film, Frankenstein, an absolute classic. Joining her for the discussion is podcaster and writer extraordinaire, Brian Keiper! Nichole lightly touched on the character of Frankenstein in a very, very early episode, but wanted to give this film a bit more love with the help of a scholar on the subject.
Join us as we chat about the background of the film and all things disability related to both the character of “The Monster” and villain (?) Fritz.

This week Nichole welcomes not one, but two guests: Bhavna from Bloody Broads and returning guest Wes from The 35th Floor . Together the pair form the Double Feature Creatures Podcast.
On the slab is 2012’s Anti-Viral, the first feature film David Cronenberg's brood, Brandon Cronenberg. We talk about Brandon’s unique spin on the horror genre, and how he uses body horror to comment on identity. This film in particular takes us on a journey through the pandemic, illness, and commodification of illness, as well as celebrity culture.
