This little archeological hellish nightmare had us discussing Ash's distaste for the idea of the Philosophers Stone, how long we would actually survive in this situation (spoiler: NOT LONG), and what would be appropriate cave-exploring packing.

Ep 42: Jack Frost Merry Christmas from us here at TAF! This week we switched it up from our planned Christmas movie to something worse: Jack Frost.

Ep 41: Candyman 12/15/2023

Ep 41: Candyman This week we get together and talk about 1992's Candyman. Yes, there's a cricket chirping in the background the entire time. No, there's nothing we could do about it.

Ep 40: Barbarian 12/05/2023

Ep 40: Barbarian This week we're talking 2022's Barbarian! It's a bit of a long-winded one but that's only because we had lots of important things to talk about...like...Bill Skarsgard. Oh, and things like aged breast milk, Mr Wizard vs Bill Nye, and our usual tangents peppered throughout. And Lauren continues to say all the unhinged things.

Ep 37: Lunopolis 07/17/2023

Ep 37: Lunopolis This week Stacey and Ash get together once again with guest host, Chris, to talk about the underseen and underrated(depends on who you're asking) sci-fi, time travel flick Lunopolis. It's not a TAF episode if you don't hear every sound possible in Stacey's background and if there was a moon colony, would they be cousin-fuckers (I think we all know who asks this question)? /episode/index/show/toavoidfainting/id/27480546

Ep 36: Coherence 06/20/2023

Ep 36: Coherence This week we're talking about 2013's underseen sci-fi mindbender, Coherence! (Full disclosure: we recorded this ep back in 2022 but completely forgot to post it, so here you are!) Ash can't stop talking about orgies. Stacey is terrified of her doppelganger. Lauren would beat the shit out of her double given the chance. What do you do when a comet passes over your town and decides to start switching up alternate dimensions on you?

Ep 35: Grave Encounters 06/05/2023

Ep 35: Grave Encounters This week we're talking about everybody's favorite mock-ghost hunting found footage flick, 2011's Grave Encounters. Would you just lay down and die or try to survive if you were stuck in a haunted asylum where time just decided to not exist and warp-faced ghouls chased you? Listen to find out what Stacey, Lauren, and Ash think (it's about what you'd expect.) Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast /episode/index/show/toavoidfainting/id/27039567

Ep 34: Free For All 05/22/2023

Ep 34: Free For All This week Ash and I had on a guest to join us in a random mix bag of topics. We talk Ash's premature Halloween decorating and his sliding scale for how he gives out candy. We also talk about movies we've seen lately from Scream 6 to Evil Dead Rise, long movies (Stacey still hates them), the insane Mac and Me ending that should have been, and what movies that are coming soon that we'd like to see. Of course we get off track by the end, but that's the fun of it all. Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast /episode/index/show/toavoidfainting/id/26906985

Ep 33: Insidious: Chapter 3 03/23/2023

Ep 33: Insidious: Chapter 3 We're back with another episode in the Insidious universe! We're talking the prequel to James Wan's previous two chapters taking us back into the Further with less cool demons? ghosts? With a directorial debut from Leigh Whannell, does this one hold up against its former flicks? Listen and find out!
