The Grave Plot Podcast

Episode 202 - Prey/They/Them

Hello Plotheads, and welcome back to the Grave Plot Podcast!
Today we're kicking things off with a story about science continuing to play God and the disastrous results we fully expect. Oh yeah, did we mention that this is REAL WORLD HORROR? Hey science... knock it off.
In Horror Business, we take a look at the absolutely bonkers looking new cartoon Chainsaw Man, as well as a new series from the makers of Dungeons & Dragons all about the Satanic panic era of the 1980s. We also discuss Keanu Reeves potentially becoming a serial killer, the cast of Insidious 5, and the latest chapter of the video game Back 4 Blood.
For our reviews, we journey back in time to see the Predator's first hunt on earth in Prey. We also talk about They/Them ("They Slash Them"), about the horrors of an LGBTQ+ conversion camp that, oh by the way, also has a slasher stalking around.
So sit tight and buckle up, buttercup, because we're going for a ride.

Episode 201 - Nope/Moloch

This train keeps a-movin. And that's what tortures me.Believe it or not, we're already back with a brand new episode and we're talking about a blockbuster, baybay!First, however, we've gotta handle some Business. Horror Business, that is. First up in Real World Horror, it's more creepy dolls, y'all! Just one this time, and it's apparently very famous and apparently not too far away from us. We then discuss spin-offs of The Walking Dead and Teen Wolf, plus a new slasher from a Stranger Things star, more Fear Street films coming to Netflix, and a vampire series making its way to Peacock.

So climb aboard and find a seat 'cause this train's leaving the station. Choo choo, motherfuckers!

Episode 200 - Full Moon Films (Sideshow/Hideous!)

Even a man who is pure at heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the Autumn moon is bright. The full moon has risen us from our slumber, and we are here for a jumbo sized bicentennial episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!
We start out with Real World Horror, where a bunch of creepy ass dolls have washed ashore on the Texas coast. Residents are baffled, and John Oliver has offered a solution which cause more harm than good.
