Bloody Disgusting Podcast

Did you miss us? We took a little break last week, but Zena and Shelby are back and getting bloody again!

But this time...they're getting controversial. A listener recommendation sparked this week's topic: unpopular horror opinions. Zena and Shelby are pulling back the curtain on the movies and takes that might raise some eyebrows. These are the movies that weren't quite their speed and the opinions they know you might not agree with and that's okay. Horror fans, this is a safe space for hot takes!

Right after, the ladies share their recent horror watches, the ones that actually delivered and had them screaming (in the best way)! Whether you're nodding along or yelling at your headphones, this episode is for every horror lover who's ever felt alone in their opinion.

Want to send Zena and Shelby your own unpopular horror opinion? Reach out and you might be featured on a future episode! Call and leave us a message at (224) 475-1040, shoot us a text, or drop us an email @ [email protected].

Tune in. Get bloody with us.

This week, Zena and Shelby bring you a jam-packed episode soaked in blood, ambition, and Hollywood horror! First up, we sit down with directors and writers Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, the twisted minds behind STARRY EYES! They dig into the film's dark origins and tease what terrifying projects they have coming next.

Then, SCREAMBOX programmer Tony Wash joins the chaos to give us a heads-up on May's upcoming titles, followed by our monthly trivia game TALK OR TORCH, sponsored by Torchbearer Sauces. Think you know your horror? The heat is ON and things get seriously spicy. We close out with a full deep dive into STARRY EYES (2014), the cult body horror gem that asks: how much of yourself would you sacrifice for fame?

Watch along as part of Bloody Disgusting's curated collection, exclusively on SCREAMBOX.

Which horror movie would be the absolute WORST to actually live through? Zena and Shelby kick off this episode with the question we're all secretly afraid to answer and they have some very strong opinions!

But this week, instead of a deep dive into one film, the two are pulling back the curtain on something they've been quietly building: She Screams: Women in Horror! Their hand-curated collection is now streaming on SCREAMBOX. Because horror was never just a man's world, and this list is proof! The collection has a theme, a name, and a point of view. Now they want to know which title YOU think deserves the full treatment. Drop your vote and let them know which two movies you'd like them to deep-dive into.

And before you go, next week is something a little different! Short horror movies. Live reactions. Zena and Shelby watching in real time. You'll want to be there for this one!

Tune in! Let's get bloody. Let's get disgusting.

Got a horror question you’ve been dying to ask us? Don’t be shy, we don’t bite…much! We want to hear from you! Call and leave us a message at (224) 475-1040, shoot us a text, or drop us an email @ [email protected]. Your question could be the next one we tackle live on the podcast!

Have you checked out CRAZY OLD LADY, aka VIEJA LOCA (2025) yet?

Zena and Shelby dive headfirst into this tense, slow-burn psychological horror that seriously gets under your skin! It’s a tight, one-location indie that wastes no time trapping you in a deeply uncomfortable nightmare. Trust us, it lingers! The setup sounds simple…until it’s not. Pedro gets a desperate message from his ex asking him to look after her senile mother, Alicia. Easy favor, right? Yep, not even close! What starts as a small task spirals fast into something way darker. Now Pedro just needs to get out but Alicia has other plans.

If you’ve seen it, we NEED to hear your thoughts on this one. Also this week: Shelby is moderating a live Q&A this Saturday (April 4) for THE YETI, hitting select theaters on April 10. Zena breaks down all the upcoming horror dropping over the next two weeks (and honestly, us horror fans are eating GOOD right now!)

Tune in! Let's get bloody. Let's get disgusting.

Got a horror question you’ve been dying to ask us? Don’t be shy, we don’t bite…much! We want to hear from you! Call and leave us a message at (224) 475-1040, shoot us a text, or drop us an email @ [email protected]. Your question could be the next one we tackle live on the podcast!
