Let my people AWOOOOOO!Time to talk about the Brazilian werewolves and lesbians! Good Neighbors is a fantastic film about falling in love with the absolute disaster pregnant bisexual woman who hires you to take care of her unborn supernatural child. Who hasn't been there?The movie truly answers the question "How do we make pregnancy even more scary and fucked up?" and it turns out the answer is werewolves! Didn't see that one coming, did you?Alicia had to cut a bunch of jokes, presumably because this one was just too funny and some people listen to this while driving and we don't want to be responsible for any traffic accidents.Okay, but what if a podcast about horror movies started killing people?

It's May and that means it's Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month! We are jumping into a group of beloved films from the Asian diaspora. We are starting with the amazing "One Cut of the Dead". It's a low budget Japanese horror film about a low budget Japanese horror film, but just when you think you've seen all the layers, you hit the midpoint of the movie and you realize you've just been staring at a tree and you're in the middle of the forest. It's an incredible work of heart and staggering genius about finding the art and love in making movies of moderate mediocracy. It's a movie about movies, but not in that way.

Which kind of horror creature are you? Are you the wet shirtless sewer dwelling kind or the or the dry in lingerie kind?Underworld is a movie that will have you asking how it can be so full of ideas that seem good on paper and still somehow make something so boring. Guns that shoot bullets full of daylight? A sexy vampire assassin played by Kate Beckinsale? A  centuries old blood feud between sexy vampires and sexy werewolves? A secret history? An evil mentor? Werewolf Michael Sheen vs Vampire Bill Nighy? It seems impossible to screw up... and yet!You do have to admire a movie about vampires and werewolves that constantly tells you that everything you know about vampires, werewolves, and even the details they just told you about the plot up until now is actually wrong!We're finally talking about Underworld and you don't want to miss it! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Happy Black History Month! And, as such, Happy Black Director's Month here on Progressively Horrified.We're starting off hot with a new take on the Frankenstein story, "An Angry Black Girl and her Monster". In a way, it's a little bit of a "what if Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur was a horror story?" but it's also got a little bit of "The Wire" flavor to it. It's clearly made with not a lot of money, but some excellent casting choices. Some of the direction late in this one is a little puzzling, but we think it's still very much worth a watch! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

It's our first movie of the new year and we are starting out UPSETTING!"Soft and Quiet" is a movie that sneaks up on you and ruins your day. It is absolutely and completely without chill of any kind. It's about a group of white women who start out by attending a regular old Nazi bookclub and by the end of the night will have committed multiple felonies/hate crimes.It's a tight film. It's short. It's filmed in "one take" and follows these white women as things get wildly out of control. You're along for the whole ride AND WE DID NOT WANT TO BE... but... this movie does a few things really well. It's incredibly made, incredibly acted, brilliantly scripted. If it wasn't one of the single most traumatic watches we've had on this show, I'd say everybody should watch it. It is, however, incredibly traumatic and we are still talking about who we think the audience is for this and who should see it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

2023: that was a fucking yeah, huh?We discovered that watching their movies back to back four weeks in a row was enough to make us hate any director. My eye has only recently stopped twitching when people say the name Cronenberg. Would you believe I even got tired to Guillermo Del Toro? Whodathunk?We caught up with Scream just in time for it to implode very publicly. We fell in love with a goofy black lesbian and her softspoken brother as they fought a sky manta ray. We learned how to murder someone with a Menu, we learned that babies are made when a woman grows an external rage womb, and we learned perhaps the least effective way to stop an apocalypse by showing up at a gay couple's cabin. But perhaps most importantly, Hellbender taught us that the real magical powers were the friends we ate along the way ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

We've been talking about this movie since we started the podcast and now we finally did it!Unfortunately, this film's John Constantine is from LA. Mercifully, that means Keanu doesn't have to do a British accent. Not that he can't do it. I mean, forsooth, we all remember Bram Stoker's Dracula, do we not? Instead, this time we leave it to Rachel Weisz to do an accent which basically just equates to "Americans talk low and mumble, right?". Hey, did she teach Benedict Cumberbatch? That's definitely a Greenwich Village accent, right?But just like The Prophecy, nothing that happens in this movie really matters until Gabriel and Satan show up! Tilda Swinton's Gabriel is The Angel of Gender and Stormare's Satan is really just having the time of his life for the whole five minutes he's in the movie. This is how you become THE DEVIL.Oh and for some reason Shia LeBeouf is here. Why? Unclear. Ask again later. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Come for the absolute masterpiece of scene chewing that is Al Pacino as The Devil, stay out of the morbid curiosity of hearing what accent is going to come out of Keanu's mouth next. His accent grows no moss, because it's a rolling stone. Don't try to pin him to any one place or syntax.Hey, guys, did you remember that Charlize Theron is in this movie.

In which the concept of voodoo has 1980s Hollywood absolutely by the balls. They can't get enough of it. Nevermind that the version of it that makes it into movies like this is absolute nonsense and a half-hearted excuse to get Lisa Bonet dancing topless. It's okay (it's not!) but you will get to see the devil who has spent the most time at the manicurist.
