Traumatized is a weekly podcast in which your hosts Erin Ridgeway and Jason Apple bravely re-watch the terrifying children’s media that frightened them as kids, and ask themselves, “what were our parents thinking?”
What's worse than Friday the 13th, but only slightly? Saturday the 14th, that's what. We're discussing this 1981 haunted house farce in this very spooky episode.
Join us as the brilliant creative minds at Dow Chemical sweep us away into a cinematic monster mash of a film that is exactly as good as you’d expect a movie financed by Dow Chemical to be. We’re talking Transylvania 6-5000 on this week’s spooky episode.
This week, we’re taking a break from our usual content to discuss the complex political climate in war-torn Shadaloo. Just kidding; we’re completing our fighting video game movie adaptation duology with a conversation about Street Fighter. Also: bonus cursed content at the end that you should really put your earbuds in for.
In this episode, we're yanking your spine out of your body—with laughter! Join us as we discuss the 1995 film adaptation of Mortal Kombat. Flawless victory!
Hackers is a movie about computers written, directed, and acted by people who don't know how computers work and also think they might be magic. Grab your best cargo vest and tiny '90s sunglasses and hack the planet with us.
We're finally back in the studio for a face-to-face journey through the good (convincing puppetry!) and the very bad (brownface!) in the 1986 sentient robot romp, Short Circuit.
What is best in life? To crush your podcast, to see it driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of its listeners. We're continuing our deep dive into the Schwarzen-oeuvre with Conan the Barbarian.
Take this magic ticket and be transported into our podcast as we dodge explosions, bask in the zaddiness of early '90s Charles Dance, and try to answer the inevitable question: who's the first action hero? We're discussing Last Action Hero on this week's episode.
What says the 1980s more than unsupervised children using dangerous toys to fight the clayamation forces of hell right after they get back from the mall? Join us as we discuss a truly bonkers entry in the My First Horror Movie genre, The Gate.
Much like your Christmas presents still stuck in the mail, our holiday episode may be late, but it's filled with holiday spirit—assuming holiday spirit means white hot rage. Join us inside our snowflake as we yell about the 2000 live-action version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
Weird Al is a genius at song parody, and the world would be a better place if he just stopped there. Unfortunately, he decided to parley his talents into this parody of a "movie," and he's dragging all of us along with him. Join us as we direct our vitriol directly at the diseased heart of UHF.
Join us for a strange brew of erotic fantasy and junior high history class as we discuss the film that launched a thousand furries, Disney's Robin Hood.

Spooky szn never dies, so string up some garlic, grab a crucifix, and sharpen up your stakes, because we're hunting that terrifying creature of the night, some dude named Jerry. You have to invite us in as we discuss Fright Night.
Travel back in time with us to 1989, a simpler year when simple dudes can teach us important lessons like "be excellent to each other," and also to not trust your kid brother to babysit the short dead dude you kidnapped to help you with your history report. We're discussing the extremely triumphant, almost completely non-bogus Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Party on, dudes.
Don’t touch that dial, because we’re about to enter the circle of hell where couch potatoes are tormented by trying to survive 24 hours in an infernal version of some of the most current TV shows of 1992. Join us as we discuss a cinematic time capsule: Stay Tuned.
It's gaudy! It's glittery! It's...weirdly horny! It's Flash Gordon, the 1980 space opera about a football hero, a mad scientist, and a travel agent who get shot into space, battle evil and problematic racial stereotypes and save Earth from bad weather, all to the music of Queen. There's lot to get to the bottom of, and boy are we going straight to the bottom.
We’ve returned from our unplanned summer break to bring you the disturbing notion that your appliances (some of them) are alive (depending on whether they have cords, maybe?) and have emotions and are always, always watching you. Thank your phone for bringing you our discussion about The Brave Little Toaster.
Do you like taking unnecessary risks and hate Nazis? Then you’re going to love this movie. Strap on your ill-gotten jet pack and blast off with us as we discuss The Rocketeer.
What is the perfect movie, and why is it a PG-rated, candy-coated late '80s musical-slash-sex comedy starring Oscar-winning actress and almost-Olympian Geena Davis entertaining Jeff Goldblum, Damon Wayans, and Jim Carrey as horny fur-covered aliens who crash landed in her pool in search of babes. Join us as we ask a lot of questions about Earth Girls Are Easy.
Sail away with us as we dive into the wet and wild disaster that is Waterworld. From babies with back tattoos to pirates on jet skis to Kevin Costner drinking his own urine, this movie has it all, yet, regrettably, also has nothing you want.
