Celebrating One 12 months of Female Rage [The Lady Killers Podcast]

“Sure, we all know homicide is unhealthy.”

On October thirteenth, 2023, The Girl Killers Podcast launched its first episode to an unsuspecting public, sparking dialog about feminine characters we like to hate. Co-hosts Jenn Adams, Sammie Kuykendall, Rocco Thompson, and Mae Shults gathered round microphones to debate one among our favourite feminine killers, Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer, Friday the thirteenth ), the murderous mom who kicks off one among horror’s most beloved franchises . Our objective was to discover the cinematic panorama of woman killers and the horrific world of female rage. Why do we discover feminine villains so taboo? How do they thrive in a world dominated by males? What makes us love these glamorous unhealthy ladies and why would we die for them although, sure, we all know homicide is unhealthy?

Over the previous yr, Sammie, Mae, Rocco, and I’ve celebrated and saluted a number of the style’s most beguiling characters, from Carrie White (Sissy Spacek, Carrie ), Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike, Gone Woman ), Jennifer Test (Megan Fox , Jennifer’s Physique ), and Julia Cotton (Clare Higgins, Hellraiser ). We’ve journeyed to Sweden and again with Ari Aster’s Midsommar , dined with French veterinary college students in Julia Ducournau’s Uncooked , braved Takashi Miike’s harrowing Audition , and traversed Osgood Perkins’s fairytale nightmare Gretel & Hansel . From Indignant princesses ( Thir13en Ghosts ) and ferocious cannibals ( The Lady ) to daredevil drivers ( Dying Proof ) and alien queens ( The School ), we’ve scoured the style for our favourite feminine killers and mentioned whether or not their tales are Good For Her horror . 

We’re celebrating this eventful yr with a particular peek behind the curtains of our raucous recording classes. A particular bonus episode options practically an hour of untamed tangents, obscure enjoyable details, hilarious miscommunications, and some moments of sentimentality between 4 pals who collect every week from throughout the nation to share their enthusiasm for female rage. We might have rounded the nook on one yr of chatting incredible femme fatales, however we’ve bought no plans to decelerate. The Girl Killers Podcast is tough at work on one other yr crammed with murderous moms, depraved witches, teen queens, and extra in a brand new slate of cinematic girls we’d completely die for.
