Episode 76: The List (Revised)
Women In Caskets
In 2015, Jen and Dawn sat down to list out their choices for the 10 most feminist-friendly films for new horror fans to watch. It was a good list. A fine list. A fine and goodly list. It is now an outdated list. Join the Women In Caskets as they look back and realize mistakes were made and update their list to reflect many of the amazing films that have come out in the last four years, and pay homage to the ones that came before. NOTE: Due to a scheduling glitch, this podcast and the next regular podcast are being played out of order so there are references to a "previous episode" that hasn't...

We Need to Talk About Mike
Women In Caskets
Welcome to the first of an experimental format here on the podcast, where a topic is chosen and one of your hosts takes a swing at it. Today... we need to talk about Mike Hanlon and the new adaptation of Stephen King's It. How a brilliant and vital part of the Losers Club was reduced to a shadow of his former self, and how that may have happened. So buckle in as we wind up the speculation machine and try to figure this all out, shall we? If you like this format and want to see more, have an idea for a name, or an idea for a topic, please lets us know! We're available on Twitter...

Episode 75: Such Sights to Show You
Women In Caskets
After far too long, the Women In Caskets Return with a much anticipated look at one of their favorite films of all time: Clive Barker's Hellraiser. And this time, they've brought a friend to solve the puzzle box with them, Lindsay Jones (RWBY, Camp Camp, Achievement Hunter, Rooster Teeth). Join the intrepid trio as they discuss this blood-soaked fairy tale of love, lust and murder while marveling at the many uses of condoms and how this all could have been avoided with a good dominatrix. (Seriously, these people need professional help.) For more information on Hellraiser and Hellbound:...

Episode 74: Gaze Into My Eyes
Women In Caskets
If you ever wanted a lesson in not dismissing a film based on it's plot summary, look no further than Coralie Fargeat's, Revenge. Dawn and Jen gleefully take you though this expertly crafted, symbol-laden, stunningly beautiful example of their least favorite cinematic trope: the rape/revenge flick. So, warning: discussion of sexual assault and the treatment of survivors is all over this podcast. If you're interested in watching the movie after listening to this podcast, but want to skip the assault, we have timecodes for the wary on our website HERE. Thanks always to The Shape for the...

Episode 73: Once Upon a Cabin In The Woods... Again
Women In Caskets
It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. After three movies and over thirty years, daring filmmaker Fede Álvarez does the unthinkable and helms a remake*, daring the fates to strike him down. ...and no one was more surprised than your hosts that he actually pulled it off. Taking a new cast, new characters, and a new script into the great wilds of a New Zealand set, Álvarez managed to capture the spirit of the original, chucking the yuks-yuks and focusing on the story of five young...

Episode 72: Thrice Upon a Castle in the Desert
Women In Caskets
It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. Coming off of the successful Darkman and a deal with Universal, Raimi and company set their sights on the distant past, an epic journey, and a clear focus. ...and almost forget where the heart and soul of the series resides. While Army of Darkness was the most commercially successful of the series, the pared-down feature strips most of the nuance and (admittedly thin) logic out in favor of more yuk-yuks, bravado, foolishness and accidentally becomes...

Episode 71: Twice Upon a Cabin In The Woods
Women In Caskets
It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. After a grueling and miserable flop for their second feature, Raimi and company reluctantly set their sights on a sequel and finally work the kinks out of this whole movie making thing. ...while still almost killing an actor or two. Baby steps. The Evil Dead movies officially became a franchise with the release of Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn and the series cemented the distinctive style, humor, and over-the-top gleeful terror and gore that would...

Episode 70: Once Upon A Cabin in the Woods
Women In Caskets
It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. With difficult financing, disastrous location shoots, and being banned outright in several countries, Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead should never have worked. And yet it did. The Evil Dead franchise changed the face of horror cinema forever, landing it in the hearts of millions of gore-loving fans and introducing the world to the macabre brilliance of Raimi and his star, Bruce Campbell. This episode is the first in a series that will cover all three Evil Dead...
info_outlineOnce again, our Patrons prove how much they love to hear the Women In Caskets cry by making us watch a horrible movie. This time around, our patron Kimberly is making us watch:
Death Spa (1990)
Join your hosts as they valiantly try to figure out what the hell is going on in this deadliest of spas while being distracted by familiar faces, snacks, and questionable fashion choices. So many questionable fashion choices.
Thanks always to The Shape for the intro and outro music. Now also featuring, "Fritz Was Here" by YoshiBlade (via OCRemix).
