Join card-carrying English grads Nik and Katy Oliver as they bring a literary twist to horror movie analysis. Using the Iowa Writers' Workshop model, they first critique - then revise - the storytelling in beloved but flawed horror films.
In our newest episode, we talk all things Night of the Comet (1984)! Featuring: faces drenched in frosted eyeshadow, a guy who looooves costumes, and a movie so breezy you'll feel like you're in the Windy City.

It's a slumber party in the post-apocalypse!

In our second episode, we chat about all things Leprechaun (1993)! Featuring: a metric ton of miniature vehicles, a tone that's for no one, and characters who are also for no one!
