THANKYOU! 😂❤

[@akerr5823]

Thanks ! I’ve only seen 3 so far out of these

[@rayraysunn994]

@@myreason2be and of course Katya had to get in another mention for Terrifier 3! I get why Gretchen hates it, so it was sweet for her to relent.

[@TheDopekitty]

Just screenshotted this comment for future streaming recommendations. Are any of these on Shudder already?

[@bunderify]

This is such a wonderful pairing. Two highly intelligent people who are so in touch with the darkness and can articulate all their feelings about it so beautifully.

[@nbk5d2c]

Katya need a podcast where she only talk about movies 😍

[@weltenunder]

[@SpongeKingRoyalAttire]

the fringe films podcast and katya only wears her fringe bangs every week

[@thelastlily3164]

This episode was my two worlds colliding in such a fantastic way! I could and would listen for hours.

[@vastasmr5122]

Yes she does! She was recently on the Maximum Film Podcast talking about The Substance, she was great!

[@Reylandson]

Completely!!! Whimsically Cinephile!!!

[@m4rkist]

i adore katya getting the free-reign to geek out about film w/ a film nerd.

Thank you!

[@dandantsm6560]

This is actually useful for the people who can't access the things being advertised anyway kkkkk like me (because it isn't available in the country)

[@TheDaniGashi]

First of all: incredible episode. Second, I love Katya's concept of No Spoiler.

[@nodatastored684]

Yes, Katya featuring Horror is always a Gift ❤

[@portlandjetaime]

I love the variety of interviews on this channel now! Obviously loooove a good Trixie/Katya joint but it's cool to see them talk to ppl they are obviously big fans of and want to share with us.

[@maggot6320]

i think katya does great interviewing. i loved her podcast with grindr

[@bingumsbongums]

Katya is such an enigma. Her ability to speak to anyone, have meaningful (HAHA) conversations, and always make the interview go smoothly. An absolute queen.

[@hannakinm]

Manhunt and Cuckoo are two of my all time favourite books, I adore Gretchen Felker-Martin's work. Absolute masterclass in queer horror. Hearing Katya talk about how much so loved Manhunt in previous episodes always had me so hype, so beyond happy to see her on the pod!!!

[@welfareprincess]

I went to the library for the first time in YEARS just to get Manhunt and it's such an incredible book.

[@idab6864]

This is the exact kind of solo content i wanted to see from katya. 😊

[@lovelymacintyre9567]

Will happily watch Katya talk about movies forever, more of this please

[@joshm.1483]

Gretchen Felker-Martin’s book Manhunt was one of my favorite reads from the past few years! Every horror fan should read it. I’m glad it’s getting a TV miniseries, headed by Lily Wachowski no less!

[@UnearthMe]

Also now that we’re seemingly getting a virtual guest on the pod…any chance we could get Contrapoints as a guest? A conversation between her and Katya and Trixie is something I would PAY to see

[@suspiciousrina]

SECOND THISSS

[@killerpea]

I know that Katya and Contra mutually admire each other, so it wouldn't be impossible... 👀

[@Tomfoolery69_]

Omggg I need to see this

[@thmc964]

No kidding

[@catarinasoares9316]

OMFG YES

[@JaneDoe-er2sg]

manhunt was SO CRAZY and the kind of thing we need in sci-fi!! It’s the kind of thing that ends up stuck in literary circles though so it’s so cool having Gretchen on here. Hope some people who may not have read it check it out. Not for the faint of heart. Or stomach.

[@theslitherysylvie4010]

I wish I was employed just so I could call off work for this.

[@Alyjah777]

I wonder why you're unemployed...............

[@lovexlightsx3]

i'm so grateful that Katya has given us so much to enjoy over the last couple months !!!

[@louisac8160]

I'm not even a fan of horror but I could listen to Katya and Gretchen talk all day about it!! Loved them together and would absolutely love more episodes where Katya talks about movies

[@itchystitchy]

Katya should have a movie review pod for not just horror. She's so passionate about it. Love.

[@shannonkidd8716]

Okay as a huge fan of Gretchen and Katya this felt like a true blessing!!!!!

[@mindyourmochi8169]

[@charlotteosborne9991]

Omg stop fkn complaining!!! It’s free content.

[@mindyourmochi8169]

@@ericmanning6728 It's not free though, KZbin bombards us with ads, buy premium, content creators still shove in ads. So this idea that "its free" when it really isn't. I'm not saying they shouldn't do ads, but make it proportionate to the content. We hardly got a full conversation from this episode.

[@paulmescal13]

Katya needs to share her letterboxd immediately

[@margaretkopretina]

I agree, too many ads for such a short podcast. But! I enjoyed it anyway! Always fun to get movie recs from people I trust (these two)!

[@idab6864]

@@margaretkopretina the ads keep me from watching the pod most times. But solo Katya and horror movies I cannot skip

[@ketchupalexander]

I love that some episodes feel like 'One for them' where Trixie & Katya just vibe, while some you can tell from the jump that they're 100% a Katya choice. This is one of the latter and Katya's sincere joy getting to talk to Gretchen is so heartwarming.

[@jonahgold560]

manhunt is one of the best books of all time

[@lisasimpson9914]

This was SO GOOOOD! I need more Horror with Katya episodes ❤

[@rullademens]

I’d love for the boulets to come on and talk horror with Katya

[@shysensei]

[@wilhelmpaulm]

Never heard of Gretchen but already love her

[@rayraysunn994]

Cuckoo made me creeped out and sob several times so she has a fan for life.

[@honeybadgergrrl77]

Holy shit I can't wait to see what they do with Man Hunt.

[@jumpingmacky]

The people being rude in the comments saying they’d rather have delta work on 💀 tried watching an episode of her show (the one with katya on) and I didn’t care for it lol

[@claremizusawa]

Okay, buuuuut did you see Delta Work identifying Diet Cokes 🥺 it was so cool

[@laurenpipe930]

Loved this episode!! Thought this went by so fast now I’m definitely gonna have to check out her Patreon. All these movie recs reminded me of a great movie. This psychological thriller and it’s called Coherence and it’s fantastic.

[@CarbonDavid12]

I'm not familiar with the guest, but I just KNOW it in my bones this is gonna be a good one, so excited Edit: ALSO I JUST NOTICED HER WEYLAND-YUTANI CORP SHIRT IM IN LOVE

[@yohanbrad4095]

Gretchen refused to be part of that blue background

[@Aideen98]

Love the video, hate the “boring” comments 🥰

[@ThousandPoints]

I love this kind of Katya's brain peephole of her love for horror movies! I felt like I was part of a book club that I had nothing to contribute but still enjoy listening to everyone talking.

[@samanthaecho9792]

LOVE the 6 minutes and 10 seconds between ads AND the pod is 24 minutes shorter than normal! 😍

[@umbreoneyes]

Not me when I saw there was a new episode literally saying THANK GOD 😭 🙏🏽

[@user-yq7hd9wg5o]

I loved the 15 minuses of podcast sprinkled in between the 20 minutes of ads

[@luminarauhuramugler6734]

SHE HAS A WEYLAND YUTANI SHIRT ON😩🙌🏻

[@Kristiclesgg]

I need Katya to watch Blood Quantum, Indigenous made horror film, AMAZING story and some of the best zombie gore I've ever seen. Premise is that Indigenous peoples are immune to a zombie virus. It's VERY layered, it's my recommendation to any zombie movie/horror fan.

[@batoutofmel4959]

My friends. MY FRIENDS. Nell Tiger Free was The Servant in Apple/M Night Shyamalan’s series THE SERVANT. It’s not for everyone, but I loooooved it.

[@zotthedestroyer5190]

I screamed when I saw this collab

[@suspiciousrina]

i will be waiting with bated breath for the day katya shares her thoughts on tender is the flesh oh my god.

[@starfishdumpy]

Love the consonants in the title so crunchy

[@Elmtree321]

Tender is the Flesh is just WILD in the most sterile and horrific way and I could not put it down. 10/10

[@brettgorges3353]

Cannot wait for this

[@montycas]

I loved this episode. As a fan of film who can’t really stomach too many horror films, I loved getting a glimpse of Katya and Gretchen At the Movies. I often ask friends to watch horror for me and then recount them to me like storytelling. Now I have more suggestions/requests for them! 🤪 I’ve been too chicken shit to read Manhunt but I liked Gretchen so much in this ep, I’m gonna be brave and make the effort.

[@tarynrobinson4865]

Omg I love her so much thank yoouuuu❤❤❤❤❤

[@mochipomu]

i looove hearing katya talk abt film.

[@VampiroPodrido]

Yes yes, more like this for the horror freaks. Thanks mothers!

[@paramkore1101]

Love this episode. Please do more in other genres too or past horror. So good

I really hope this adaptation goes well and doesnt get stuck in dev hell. Wonderful a trans women will be directing too

[@htsand]

ive become so used to only katya that i kinda prefer that (love trixie too tho ..ADORE her) AND like everyone else says; this color is horrendous !! I cannot relax to it. makes the whole experience not as great as it once was. Dont get me wrong, I´ll still watch but yeah.

[@UnearthMe]

This is about to be savage and I cannot wait

[@Emma-xz8fo]

I love not knowing a guest and ending the ep loving them! ❤ Thanks for the list of movies I gotta watch now

[@LoveGemma]

I’m freaking outttt. I read Manhunt in January on Katya’s recommended and I’m in the middle of Cuckoo now! Fuck yes.

[@administrator4808]

Im so glad she mentioned that I Saw the TV Glow is also beautiful and hopefully while being devastating. That's so true. Never seen a movie that captures the experience of being trans so well

Looking forward to a horror talk with another fanatic, yesh!

Tender is the Flesh is AMAZING. I’m so glad it was mentioned. Very, very difficult to bring up in conversation to see if anyone else has read it because it’s so atrocious lol

[@XNinaSophie]

[@XNinaSophie]

Also I Saw The TV Glow is very much worth a watch

[@g0lddustt29]

I think a big part of The Substance's subtext that goes unappreciated, is how it shows how much damage being "afraid" of ageing can do you. You gotta honor your growth while respecting your inner child & vise versa. Elizabeth hates herself, so she hates Sue, and Sue hates what she is bound to become. It's a genius movie once you really dissect it

[@lexp6099]

The Substance is all text, no subtext, though. It puts it all out there.

[@g0lddustt29]

@@lexp6099 Also true, but most people seem to zero in on the whole message of sex appeal & how women are treated in the industry, which even I agree is the main point of the film - I should have said "secondary message" instead of subtext. But the fact that Sue and Elizabeth are the same consciousness yet behave the way they do to each other is what really makes it legit profound lol

[@emullionare5570]

I’m literally reading manhunt right now. Couldn’t have come at a better time

[@Kill-La-Kir]

the way I gasped when I saw the notification LOVE LOVE Gretchen, haven't watched 2 of the movie recs but seeing so many of my top 10 for 2024 mentioned feels weirdly validating if Katya ever does a movie podcast I need her to interview Lauren LaVera or Damien Leone so she can get her Terrifier 4 cameo
