  EPISODE 166: WATERPARKS ARE TERRIFYING

  Jul 31, 20261h 42m

  Wave pools. Drain suction. Parasites that laugh at chlorine. Turns out the "safe" attraction at the water park was never safe — and we've got the real-life horror stories to prove it (RIP Action Park, aka "Traction Park"). PIRANHA (1978) — Genetically engineered killer fish, bred for Vietnam, get loose and head straight for a summer camp. Spielberg himself called it "the best of the Jaws rip-offs." JAWS 3D (1983) — The Brody boys can't catch a break. This time it's a SeaWorld-style marine park and a mama great white hunting for her missing baby through the underwater tunnels. Plus: Verrückt, Cryptosporidium outbreaks, and why wave pools might be the scariest attraction of all. New Patron shoutout: Pool Boi Q Listen now — wherever you get podcasts!

  EPISODE 165: BEAUTY IS TERRIFYING

  Jul 17, 20261h 52m

  How far will we go for beauty? How deep and dear is the costs? &nbsp;We dig in to a genuinely gruesome history — lead face paint, arsenic wafers, radium perms, and an electric corset that promised to cure your "hysteria." We dig into how beauty has been poisoning people for centuries, then bring it into the present with looksmaxxing, bone smashing, and the new horror of AI dysmorphia — patients bringing AI-edited selfies to plastic surgeons and asking to look like a face that was never real. Then two films that put "beauty is terrifying" into practice: AMERICAN MARY (2013) — A broke med student starts doing underground body-mod surgery to pay the bills, until an assault sends her somewhere much darker. Katharine Isabelle carries it, but the acting around her holds it back. Matty: 4.5 | Andrew: 4.5 THE SUBSTANCE (2024) — Demi Moore takes a black-market drug that spawns a younger, "better" version of herself, with horrifying consequences. Bold, unforgettable, unlike anything else out there. Matty: 6.5 | Andrew: 5.5 Plus: a beauty-fact-or-myth game, "The Tea on T-Zones," and a full breakdown of what we've been watching — House of the Dragon, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, The Mummy, Undertone, and more.

  🌈🔪 Episode 164: PRIDE SHOULDN'T BE TERRIFYING 🔪🌈

  Jun 19, 20261h 51m

  🌈🔪 Episode 164: PRIDE SHOULDN'T BE TERRIFYING 🔪🌈 It's Pride Month, and Matty & Andrew are asking the question nobody wants to answer: why does celebrating still feel like a risk? This week's Horror in Real Life: Pride events turning into full security operations, parades getting canceled outright (Tampa, Arlington, Long Beach), corporate sponsors quietly bailing, and the online harassment machine that never clocks out. Cute rainbow crosswalk, increasingly not-cute reality. Then, two films about queerness treated as the crime: 🎬 THEY/THEM — Kevin Bacon's second "killer stalking a camp" movie (yes, after Friday the 13th), this time set at a conversion therapy camp. Corny in places, but it lands a real gut-punch about where queer rage goes. 🎬 WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR — Jane Schoenbrun's deeply online, deeply trans identity horror.&nbsp; 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 💸 Support the show: frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #PrideMonth #horrorpodcast #lgbtqpodcast #queerpodcast #horrorcommunity #getslayed #horrorpodcasts #queerhorror #gayhorror #THEYTHEM #WorldsFair #PrideShouldntBeTerrifying
