Bodies of Horror Podcast

PICK MY NIGHT:
-double feature of Him + The Strangers: Chapter 2

OR

Screening of Perfect Blue at the nearby theatre?

NEW EPISODE DAY!

Do you like the “disabled-as-villain” trope, but with hot sauce? Do you like Oliver Platt playing, as always, a psychologist? Do you wonder if there is hierarchy of disabled kids?

Well…

This movie.
This book.
The taps.
Excited to talk about this gem of a movie.

Pre-homework before you listen:
Would this movie make your Top 25 Horror Films of the Century?

Let’s go.

Should I go see FREDDY’S REVENGE tonight?

Have you ever encountered a child in the wild that their reaction was to sniff and salute you?

I need help knowing what to do with this. I assume 97.2% are possessed but my data is not peer verified.

Why would anyone want to miss even a MINUTE of a movie with a cat?!

NEW EPISODE ALERT!
I somehow have put out 100 episodes of this podcast. I’ve had amazing sunbeams of humans support me along the way in a 1000s of ways, but a special shout out to each and every guest that has come on for an episode and for anyone that has listened to even AN episode:

THANK YOU.

This makes me tear up since you were one of the biggest influences in me deciding to take the leap into podcasting.

Adore you, Jenn, and thank you for being such a phenomenal force.

Tomorrow on #AOASPodSquad: it’s not every day that you hit 100 episodes so be sure to celebrate @bodiesofhorror.bsky.social as Nichole crosses a milestone!

YES! Love, love, love that episode. @chewywalrus.bsky.social is so great!

GUESS WHAT?
I’m in the trenches with EPISODE 100! I cannot believe that I’ve reached this milestone and am so, so excited to get to episode 200.

So…
If you’ve listened:
What’s been your fave episode?
What’s been your favorite film covered?
What can be harder and stronger in the next 100 episodes?

NEW EPISODE ALERT!
Episode 99 is here and it’s something special. So thrilled to be joined by @bjcolangelo.bsky.social to talk about SPONTANEOUS. This film packs a wallop of a punch to the feels and BJ and I shared some feels and how this resonates with us in different, but similar, ways.

Bodies of Horror: Episode 98 - Frankenstein (1931) feat. Brian Keiper Podcast Episode · Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad · 08/05/2025 · 1h 51m

Today on #AOASPodSquad: For Episode 98, @bodiesofhorror.bsky.social revisits James Whale’s 1931 film, FRANKENSTEIN, an absolute classic.

Joining Nichole for the discussion is podcaster and writer extraordinaire, @brianwaves42.bsky.social!

This a black and white/greyscale photo of Frankenstein’s “Monster.” They are in profile but visible are a their neck bolts, a bolt toward the top of their head (near what would be a temple perhaps) and stitches on an extended arm.

TOMORROW.
NEW EPISODE.
VERY EXCITED!

The amount of whimsy any trip of Nashville promises is directly connected with how many Pedal Taverns I see within the first hour.

Evidence-based, peer-reviewed article coming.

Model head of the Bride of Frankenstein.

Still some details but it’s a nice start.

Heading to Nashville this weekend for work and have a couple of evening hours free.

GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS.

NEW EPISODE DAY!

It was a treat and a half to have @theluckysharms.bsky.social and @35thfloor.bsky.social on to talk about this intensely icky, very powerful feature debut by Brandon Cronenberg.

I walked away from this film and conversation reaffirming my aversion to “mystery meat.”

There are so many fascinating things happening in this film.

Sickfluencers.
Commercialization of illness.
Work/life balance.

LETS GO!

I awe’d.

There are two reasons that I will close to use to walk to and from every day. I get front row seats to:

1. Dogs on walks
2. Folks on walks together (couples, friends, etc.) either prepping for their day or catching up in their own beautiful way.

My favorite part of watching cooking completion shows?
Contestant 4 will talk about how they’re there to win money to care for an ailing loved one.

*silence, maybe a nod*

It is ALWAYS and immediately by the judges talking to Contestant 5 that broke their hollandaise sauce.

*cue brooding music*

Thank you, good sir! Adore you, so so thankful for the support and being on the pod, and just every bit of love you have shown. You are incredible and a person I’m so thankful to have gotten to know.

One of my inspirations and voices that made me feel comfortable starting the pod. Thank you for EVERYTHING, Jenn. 🫶

Episode 97 of the pod is out this week and that means: episode 100 is right around the corner.

No words, just pure love for anyone and everyone that has encouraged the pod.

Some people are just changing the world.

Grateful Access: Horror exists there’s a convening of the most brilliant, earth-shaking folks to talk about horror, disability, and all things access and representation. Thrilled to see @blerdymassacre.bsky.social as part of the proceedings. Gamechangers.

Bad day. Roughest day.

YES! Was just chatting about Phenomena and Cat O’ Nine Tails and there is definitely something in the works!

Please give love and gratitude to folks that give you the time of day. Compassion and kindness sometimes feel at a minimum and be full of gratitude for folks that give you respect and graciousness.
