Scream Queen Podcast

This is my 69th episode and my theme of the month is Incel Horror.
I have a feeling that when we look back on horror in the future, the defining subgenre of the 2020s is going to be incel horror. Every decade seems to have its signature fears, and ours feels increasingly focused on loneliness, misogyny, entitlement, coercive control, and online radicalization. Instead of asking us to fear monsters lurking in the shadows, these films ask us to fear something much more familiar: people who believe they're owed love, sex, attention, or control over another human being.

"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.

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.
