Not Quite Dead

Like a monster you can't keep down...we're back! NQD is reviving our Patrick Wilson season with the cult classic Bone Tomahawk. Released in 2015 and the first feature film from director S. Craig Zahler, this slow-burn western horror is a delight for almost everyone. An all star ensemble rounds out this excellent movie: Kurt Russell, Matthew Fox, and the always endearing Richard Jenkins. The Girls are joined by friend of the podcast, Jeremy who HATES horror movies. What a cruel (and/or hilarious) movie to endure him to.

Cate and Meg discuss colors, social justice, corny writing, and of course, our guy Patrick Wilson!

NQD is kicking off an all-new season focusing on the horror scream king Patrick Wilson! The modern horror icon stars in our first movie of the year: The Conjuring (2013). Director James Wan kicks off this horror movie franchise with Patrick Wilson alongside Vera Farmiga playing real-life paranormal investigator couple Ed and Lorraine Warren. They're skeptical of the haunting at the Perron house...until they get there. Discussion points include: 1970s sideburns, vintage real estate, mother/daughter relationships.

Don't say his name a third time! Tim Burton is back 30ish years later with the long-awaited sequel to Beetlejuice. Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara from the original are back too, joined by newcomers Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci and Justin Theroux. Beetlejuice is surprisingly helpful in this jaunt to get Lydia's daughter out of the underworld. Discussion points include: stitching fetishes, unnecessary B-plots, the excellent Catherine O'Hara.

Is this our silliest episode yet? You tell us! To cap off the 2024 year and our zombie season, we're bringing you Dead Snow. The 2009 flick Dead Snow delivers exactly what's on the label: a Nazi zombie campy horror movie. Come for the cheesy plot, stay for the copious blood and guts. Discussion points include: Nazi zombies (duh), snowmobile skiing, a disgusting outhouse rendezvous.
