    Who Framed Roger Rabbit & Terrorvision
    Jun 8 2025
    Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray are joined by returning guest Ava Foxfort (veteran of our Deptford Mice episodes) to talk about the beloved 80s masterpiece Terrorvision, and also some film called Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The Bob Hoskins Appreciation Society is fully represented, and the adjective grody finds its perfect application. Grab yourself a specific brand of lager beer, and get on into it! *Unlike the movie Terrorvision, this podcast is not sponsered by any American beer companies.

    Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
    Apr 13 2025
    We've got a sequel on our hands, spooky kids, and you'd better believe it's disquieting and unsatisfying! Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray are back to discuss Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Roald Dahl's hodge-podge of a sequel to his beloved classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Hotel employees are eaten alive by aliens! Willy Wonka reveals the chocolate factory contains a hell dimension! And there's some really tedious poems! You'd be forgiven for skipping this book, but have a listen to the episode. A transcript of the episode is available at: https://stillscared.podigee.io/69-great-glass-elevator

    It's been a while since we've talked about Japanese children's horror, but your co-hosts Adam Whybray and Ren Wednesday are back this month to chat about the anime of The Promised Neverland. Don't go past the fence or through the gate, because this story goes darker faster than you might expect.
