This month on Sitting in the Dark, we pay homage to the original Final Girl—Mom. From toxic devotion to architectural annihilation, we crack open the gift box of maternal horror and unwrap three deeply uncomfortable truths about the women who raised us… and might bury us.
Earth’s Most Reluctant Group Project has arrived. The Film Board assembles for a rare Marvel movie we all genuinely like—Thunderbolts—digging into found families, unresolved trauma, and why sometimes the real villain is the emotional baggage we drag behind.
This week on Make Me A Nerd, Mandy Kaplan, Pete Wright, and Tommy Metz III dive into the warped techno-nightmare world of Black Mirror — and somehow make it hilarious. From pastel dystopias to digital space prisons, it’s a wild ride through the future we’re all politely hurtling toward.
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners blends vampires, blues, and bootlegging into a supernatural epic that’s as soulful as it is bloody. This month, Pete, Tommy, and Andy dive deep into the film’s genre-bending ambition, emotional weight, and why it just might be one of the year’s most surprising masterpieces.
Ladies and gentlemen, Swifties and skeptics, gather round, for today we embark on a journey of seismic cultural significance. No, not another election cycle. No, not the discovery of yet another billionaire’s secret doomsday bunker. We are talking about Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour—a three-and-a-half-hour pop music odyssey, equal parts spectacle, sermon, and strut.
For nearly a century, horror films have told us a story—one of terror, of survival, of the inevitable confrontation between innocence and brutality. But there’s one story, in particular, that has evolved in ways both subtle and seismic: the story of the Final Girl.
Prepare yourselves for a journey into the bewildering world of Bong Joon Ho’s latest sci-fi offering. That’s right—the director who brought you parasites in the basement and tentacles in the river has now delivered expendable humans on a frozen planet.

This month, your host, Kynan Dias, and a coven of his most insightful monster aficionados – Pete Wright, Kyle Olson, and Tommy Metz III – go under the sheets into a chillingly erotic realm: the intersection of horror and sex.
Forget full moons and silver bullets—Leigh Whannell’s latest universal remake WOLF MAN is a story of family drama, generational trauma, and, oh yeah, turning into a terrifying wolf-man-foster-thing. It’s part horror, part body horror, part marriage horror… and part parenting horror… all of it’s gone horribly wrong.
