Another Goddamn Horror Podcast!

On episode 225 of Another Goddamn Horror Podcast, we sit down with John Davies, writer of the monster movie gem Kids vs. Aliens and the grindhouse classic Hobo With a Shotgun, which started as a fake trailer in Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse double feature before becoming a full-length cult hit. We dig into his book Man vs. Bear, horror writing, screenwriting, indie filmmaking, grindhouse cinema, practical effects, monsters, and genre storytelling.
We also cover exploitation films, cult horror movies, Canadian horror, horror auteurs, midnight movies, VHS-era influences, and the idea of quiet Tarantino storytelling where character, tension, and violence collide. If you are into horror podcasts, horror movie interviews, indie horror, grindhouse films, monster movies, splatter cinema, or cult classics, this episode is for you.

Episode 223 of Another Goddamn Horror Podcast is an absolute banger. We sit down with comedian, TikTok star, horror fanatic, and all-around force of nature Kirsten Michelle Cills for one of our most heartfelt, funny, and horror-obsessed episodes yet. This one truly feels like it was meant to happen.
Kirsten opens up about growing up with a terminal illness and how living with mortality shaped her worldview, her comedy, and her deep love of movies, especially horror. We talk about her journey into stand-up comedy, what it is like being a working comedian with a terminal illness.
We also dive deep into her wildly popular TikTok channel Kir Kills, breaking down how she creates such smart, funny, and insightful horror content.
Of course, we go hard on the Scream franchise, from Wes Craven’s original meta-horror classic to the sequels, reboots, and requels. We talk Ghostface killers, final girls, kill scenes, legacy characters, and why Scream remains one of the most important and influential horror franchises of all time. Kirsten is genuinely one of the funniest guests we have ever had on the show and a true authority on horror films.
This episode blends comedy, horror, film analysis, disability, mortality, and fandom without ever losing its sense of humor.
This is not an episode to be missed.
