This week on the cast, we discuss the notorious reimagining of “Halloween” by Rob Zombie and the reviled reboot of “Friday the 13th” (2009).
THIS EPISODE: “HALLOWEEN (2007)” AND “FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009)”
From the blackest eyes to stupendous tits, this episode is totally insane…TOTALLY!
This week’s podcast themes are traumatic childhoods, devoted moms, the high price of bullying, and the pastiche of a good mask. Find out what happens when two horror icons of the slasher heyday get reimagined for modern audiences. It’s an absolute bloodbath — and we’re not just talking about what happens on screen. So leave the kids with the horny babysitter and gather ’round the campfire while we regale you with two timeless tales of terror.
Watch the trailer for Halloween.

ABOUT THIS PODCAST
She’s a lover, he’s a fighter. Together, they’re CHEER AND LOATHING.
Tune in to hear your hosts, Stephanie (Cheer) and Casey (Loathing), clash over the films they love — and the ones they love to hate. With a new theme each month and related topics each week, they’ll make a case for the good and the bad; it may even get a bit ugly!
Stephanie (Cheer) is the Editor-in-Chief for Morbidly Beautiful, and Casey (Loathing) is the Program Director and host of the Ominous Origins Podcast.
New episodes of the CHEER AND LOATHING podcast typically drop the first three Sundays of every month, with possible bonus content every fourth Sunday based on listener feedback — or our desire to keep talking about movies!
