• Ep 22: MONSTERS - The Estonia Werewolf Trials
    Aug 28 2025

    Welcome to our final monster-themed episode: the true and absolutely WILDIN’ story of the Estonia Werewolf Trials. While some of the world was panicking about witches, Estonia decided it wanted to be cool before it was cool, and chose to panic about a whole other beast: werewolves. And the most fun part? One of the locals, a legend known as Old Thiess, was like, yeah, I AM a werewolf. Old Thiess, if you can hear us: you rock. See you on the other side!

  • MONSTERS - Scooby Doo (2002)
    Aug 21 2025

    Welcome back to another MONSTER-SODE and our first LIVE IN-PERSON recording! This is an extra special episode because today we are watching a total blast from our past and the first movie that we know that we watched together as tweens. Today we are talking about the 2002 live action movie: Scooby Doo!

    This episode is a little different because: one, we intro the episode with insight into how non-discerning we are about adult beverages, and two, we recorded our live reactions while watching together (and trying not to fall asleep). It’s a bit chaotic, a bit zany, very much like the Scooby himself. Also catch the blink-and-you’ll miss it cameo from Ashley’s parents dogs, Tallulah and Raylan (video and voiceover cred: Clark Drake). Enjoy?

    Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. And today, let that present be this episode where we just scratch the surface of Sara’s favorite show, Twin Peaks! This will be a fully spoiler free episode with the exception of the pilot, so if you haven’t watched it yet, you can still join us while we discuss one of the greatest television characters of all time (Kyle MacLachlan’s Special Agent Dale Cooper), the genius of David Lynch, and if anyone knows what the real meaning of Twin Peaks is (but Sara has a theory).

  • LITTLE TERROR - That Time Boy Meets World Did A Slasher Episode
    Jul 11 2025

    Welcome back to Haunted Homebodies! The podcast with cozy ghostie vibes, a hint of horror, and a heavy dose of nostalgia. Today’s episode is our first LITTLE TERROR- A bite-sized version of our usual podcast format. Yum!

    For our first LT, we are chatting about what we think is the greatest episode of Boy Meets World of all time– And Then There Was Shawn.
