Hellraiser, Part 1

In this episode, Jess & Nicole take you on a journey through Clive Barker's dark world where the boundary between pain and pleasure evaporates. From the original novella Hellbound Heart to the iconic films Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, the duo dive deep into the artistry of 80s horror, the actual horror of the satanic panic, and "ravage fantasies". They also explore themes like regression therapy, toxic positivity, and ponder why certain genital piercings are named after royals. Plus, delve into the work of Bob Keen, the visual effects and makeup genius behind the terrifying cenobites, and listen as Jess & Nicole portray actor maggots.

Clive Barker Interviews

Welcome to Bud Corner, where we smoke the devil's lettuce and dive into Interview with the Vampire for a laid-back, 420-friendly bonus episode.

Join Jess and Nic as they chat about pareidolia, how yoga can save the day, replacement goldfish, and how sometimes taking the other path is the wrong choice. Does crying get you out of a ticket? Also, does being a vampire mean it's easier to hang upside down?? We don't know! But we sure are curious.

Grab your bud and join the fun. We may lose our train of thought and forget a few words (or our own names), but rest assured the lunacy and japes continue in full force.
