This is my 59th episode and my theme of the month is Good for Her February. Where the trauma and torment women, children, and men go through doesn’t have to end at her suffering. It might be a fantasy to get revenge in the way the movies show it but it’s a cathartic escape from the reality we live in when justice is rare and even when it is prosecuted the consequences rarely fit the crime.

In this episode, I interview director Mary Beth McAndrews about her directorial debut with Bystanders. This "Good for Her" rape revenge film is part of a new wave of horror movies that take out the brutal exploitation of women and flip the brutality on the boys.
A group of murderous frat boys get more than they bargained for when they cross paths with a couple coming home from a wedding. This film is available for streaming on Tubi, Prime Video, Pluto TV, Plex, and Fawesome.

This is my 58th episode and my theme of the month is Justice in January. Where black horror takes revenge and teaches us lessons that colonizers would like us to forget. In today’s movie, we are taking a look at the projects and how communities like Cabrini-Green are built into a myth. A myth about a group of people, where anyone outside of Cabrini-Green is afraid to even drive past it. This fear isn’t fueled by an urban legend though, it’s brought on by racism, segregation, and poverty. Today I will be covering the 1992 film The Candyman. Directed by Bernard Rose and written by Clive Barker and Bernard Rose
