Nichole delves back into sick kid territory with 2013’s The Harvest. This film does some nuanced things when it comes to the narrative of overbearing, harmful parents/caregivers, which softens the blow of some weaker narrative threads.Instead of the film being an exploration of caregiver stress and burnout, like we’ve covered in other episodes, The Harvest lets us exist with Andy’s perspective albeit with a twist at the end.Want to share your thoughts on the film?

Hagsploitation, or narratives that root themselves in “crazy old woman” tropes, can be a lot of fun. They can also inspire a lot of cringe, particularly as we deal with the realities of aging and disability.Crazy Old Lady, an Argentinian film (available on Shudder), brings something new to the table. Unlike other entries in this subgenre, the film allows us to both question and understand the reality of our central character. Throw in themes of caregiving and how ageism – and the hagsploitation genre as a whole – is built on our fears of aging and illness, and this movie is about a lot more than initially meets the eye.Want to share your thoughts on the film?

Bryan and Joe reunite to discuss the 15th anniversary of Victor Garcia's Hellraiser: Revelations (2011), Dimension's last ditch attempt to retain the rights to the franchise and the first film without Doug Bradley.We maintain that this one has potential - from the gentle queer coding to the found footage angle to the practical FX - but Gary J.

A cure can be alluring – especially when your prognosis is only 6 months. In Mother of Flies, Lena is a young cancer patient who is surrounded by a religious family and community asking her to rely on prayers as her condition becomes more grave. This film also looks at how care becomes a dehumanizing task that can strip someone of autonomy, intentions be damned.Additional Reading: The Adams Family Talk Witchy ‘Mother of Flies’ and Finding Beauty in Life and Death.

Bodies of Horror chats about holiday classic Gremlins (1984), but Nichole is keeping the discussion centered on disability, caregiving, and failed systems of care. What begins as a chaotic holiday creature feature reveals deeper anxieties about dependency, rigid rules, moral panic, and who society deems “too much” to support. Gremlins asks whether the real horror lies not in difference, but in our refusal to build structures capable of sustaining it.Want to share your thoughts on Gremlines or suggest a film to cover?

For this episode, Nichole is taking a look at 2016’s The Autopsy of Jane Doe. A father-and-son coroner pair perform an autopsy on an unidentified woman and, as her secrets get revealed, she begins to represent so many bodies of horror, including bodies dismissed, bodies treated as inhuman, and bodies controlled. As the two men try to “help” her, they do so while using the tools that caused her pain and destruction in the first place.Want to recommend a film to be covered or share your thoughts on the film?

For the second last Jennifer Lynch text, Terry and Joe are trying something different. Considering Hisss (2010) had a famously troubled production, we're also including director Penny Vozniak's documentary Despite The Gods (2012), which chronicles the making of the film. The doc is an essential part of the viewing experience in order to understand what happened in India and why Lynch doesn't claim Hisss as her own.Plus: praising star Mallika Sherawat and the practical snake effects, debating the broad comedy, and why George States doesn't work as a villain for us.Wanna connect with your co-hosts on Instagram & BlueSky?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremote / @joelipsett (BlueSky)Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify"If you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Discover more fabulously creepy Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad and follow the network on Instagram and BlueSky @aoas_xx Hosted on Acast.

Ti West’s 2009 film House of the Devil is a pitch-perfect 70’s/80’s throwback that uses a familiar caregiver premise to pinpoint the perils of aging, caring for a loved one, and dependence.
