Spooky Sips

This monkey, is Not. A. Toy. But you'll have fun with him anyway. Join us as we walk through the 2025 Theo James movie, The Monkey. You'll get to hear our take, Laura's repeated adoration of Theo James, and a psych segment none of us expected. Sip along with a Dirty Monkey cocktail (or try to, Laura drank too much and can't remember the recipe). Let's get sipping, sippers!

Dirty Monkey Cocktail:

ummm....rum, ...

Then Not-so-Dr. Laura will make us all uncomfortable and a little mad with her psych seg...

In all seriousness, we're taking horror seriously this episode and watching Bring Her Back, a movie centered around loss. Pour yourself a shot of whiskey and/or a shot of vodka and listen along as we walk through the film together. Our in-house Not-so-Dr. Laura talks about the process and presentation of grief and how horror can help us understand something we will all experience. So get yourself ready and get watching and get...

We're summoning the spirits this episode since we're all together. We're watching the 1986 film Witchboard and sipping on a crispy Pepsi-cola and Jack. Sip along as we listen to Brandon over-pronounce Ouija, watch Linda change her manicure and robe every scene, and see Jim profess his love to Brandon in a motel room (shirtless we might add). Will you tempt the spirits and play the board?

Thanks for listening! Don&apos...

We're singing, we're using our husky voices, we're tangent-ing. And all while we try to talk about the chillingly frigid movie, The VVitch (2015). Listen along as we walk through the forest (the plot) and sip on an uncomfortably themed cocktail, The Goatini. Laura didn't just choose the drink, she also crafted a psych segment fit for the 1630's. Let's get sipping!

Happy Thanksgiving Sippers! In honor of this festive holiday we watch 5 minutes of a horrible horror and then a completely different horrible (but palatable) horror. What not to watch: Poultrygeist (2006), we got a few minutes in and realized we just could not. So moving on to the actual movie for this episode: The Last Thanksgiving (2020). Which was bad in the right ways for a great low budget Thanksgiving killer horror. Listen al...

Uno, dos, tres... ¡toca la pared! Sip along with us as we watch the 2007 Spanish horror, El Orfanato (The Orphanage).

Let's get sipping!

We're going way back, all the way to 1932, to watch Tod Browning's Freaks. This controversial movie caused quite the scene not only on release, but for years after. Listen along as we discuss the film, the characters, and the psychology of deviance. Also, listen in on our own controversy of our drink pairing where Laura wanted to pair EGGS AND RED WINE and Ivette and Brianna took a firm stance against that blasphemy and c...

It may look like a nice day for a swim, but there's something lurking in the water! We're getting spooky with a creature feature and watching Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).

Repeat after us, I will not accept a life I do not deserve. We're watching Maxxxine this episode, and tying in moments from Pearl and X. To keep us awake, we're pairing the movie with some coke... we'll leave it up to you to interpret that one. Listen along as we dive into the plot, dig up some fun facts, and try to understand the psychology of seeking fame. Stick around for our favorite moments of gore and our ranki...

Live from the Las Vegas Strip (alright not live, recorded in our hotel very far from the strip), we're giving you all the details, more like ramblings, from our trip to Vegas and Universal Horror Unleashed. Sip along on a Holy Water cocktail and a tall glass of water, which we were never able to get in all of Vegas. Don't mind the sound quality (we're drunk) or the constant crinkling (bags of snacks consumed). Love y...

Feeling tired? Then don't watch Skinamarink, it'll put you right to sleep. Just like our drink-pairing; warm milk. The movie may be a snooze-fest, but this episode isn't! Listen along as we review the movie, talk about the terror of sleep paralysis, and Not-so-Dr. Laura uses all her big words. Oh, and find out what weapon Derek (Laura's cat) brought us while we were recording. 

Thanks for listening! Don't fo...

Sorry, this isn't Skinamarink! We're taking a little summer break. Instead, join us in revisiting the 2000 classic Final Destination.

Listen along as we chat about Laura's ultimate teenage crush, count up the countless death toll, and find out a ton of fun facts. 

We'll be back August 19 with Skinamarink. 

Thanks...
