Don't lose your head over it... or maybe do? Sip along with us as we discuss the horrifying 2018 Ari Aster film, Hereditary. We're examining grief in horror, the psychology of shock, and how Laura does not understand art (?!) Since the movie was filmed in Utah, we had to stay local and sip on Park City's Old Town Cellars Mountain Town White. Let's get sipping!

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.

In all seriousness, we're taking horror seriously this episode and watching Bring Her Back, a movie centered around loss.

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...

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...
