We creep into spooky season with a look back at the widely panned Stephen King-inspired horror anthology from the 80s, “Creepshow 2”.
SHOW NOTES FROM YOUR HOST DONNA:
On this episode, I’m breaking down and reviewing the Michael Gornick-directed sequel to Creepshow with a screenplay by George A. Romero, Creepshow 2.
Spooky month is here, so why not revisit this horror anthology film. Giant Venus Flytraps, vengeful wooden statues, a murderous blob and a bloody hitchhiker that just won’t stay dead. Come sit next to me all cozy like while I talk about this film and explain why I cannot take the animated Creep seriously.

Cast a Deadly Spell (1991)
On this episode, I'm kicking off Noirvember with Cast a Deadly Spell (1991). This HBO original film combines film noir, horror, fantasy, comedy and the eldritch tales of the Cthulu mythos. In this timeline of 1948 Los Angeles, magic and mythological creatures are common. Phillip Lovecraft is the detective on a case to find a stolen rare book, the Necronomicon. Dames, vampires, demons and Old Ones are in this one. Spoiler free and filled with a whole lot of magic. The artist on my podcast playlist is Nina Simone .

Guilty Pleasures: Holiday Special Featuring “Elves”
byStephanie Malone
In this holiday extravaganza episode of Guilty Pleasures, join hosts Stephanie, Kelly, and our newest addition, Jonathan (Jack was tied up in tinsel and couldn't join us), as they unwrap the bizarre and unhinged world of holiday cinema. They dive into the depths of Elves, a film that's as chaotic as it is entertaining. It's a sleigh full of questionable decisions, diabolical dialogue, absurd plot twists, wildly offensive antics, and unhinged holiday mischief.
And that's not all! In the second half of the podcast, join your festive cinephile friends for a look at four more ”nutty as a fruitcake” holiday treats: A New York Christmas Wedding, Elf Bowling, A Medea Christmas, and Jack Frost. Plus, we each offer a bonus Christmas flick guaranteed to make you say, ”Ho, Ho, HO-LY Hell!”
Expect laughter, disbelief, and a spirited debate about what truly makes a movie a guilty pleasure. Don't miss this festive journey through the weirdest corners of holiday films!
