  They Will Kill You (2026)

  Jul 24, 20261h 11mS1

  "Eat the Rich" horror is a subgenre of horror that critiques capitalism and class inequality by portraying the ultra-wealthy as the enemy. Rather than treating the 1% as merely out-of-touch, these stories present elite privilege as a predatory force built on the exploitation, degradation, and literal destruction of the working class. And you know what, I agree with them.

  The Hunt (2020)

  Jul 11, 202643 minS1

  This is my 67th episode and my theme of the month is EAT THE RICH. "Eat the Rich" horror is a subgenre of horror that critiques capitalism and class inequality by portraying the ultra-wealthy as the enemy. Rather than treating the 1% as merely out-of-touch, these stories present elite privilege as a predatory force built on the exploitation, degradation, and literal destruction of the working class. And you know what, I agree with them. For my real world example, A Swiss hacktivist found a hidden directory and participant profiles in the site's code, exposing over 200 prominent names What We Know About Billionaire Peter Thiel's Secret 'Dialog' Society.

  2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

  Jun 26, 20261h 9mS1

  This is my 66th episode and my theme of the month is the horrors of AI. For decades, horror has warned us about our relationship with technology. Long before AI became a buzzword, filmmakers imagined worlds where machines learned too much, corporations moved too fast, and humanity surrendered control in exchange for convenience.

Our conversation mainly focuses on AI and why it's such an effective topic in the horror genre. After a botched robbery, two men take refuge in a remote and lifeless scientific facility, inadvertently awakening a monster within. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8651780/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

  Immaculate (2024)

  Jun 5, 20261h 24mS1

  <p>My theme is Motherhood in May. Uncovering the horrors of pregnancy. The virgin birth is one of the most well-known Christian doctrines. The idea that Mary had never had sex when she became pregnant has captivated the minds of artists and storytellers for the last two millennia. In the wake of the 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade, new horror films are finding fertile ground in the way religious institutions, and the men who typically run them, seek to control women’s bodies. </p><p>Guest:</p><p>K.J.
