Don't Read The Latin

It's another long one! Your hosts Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are joined by Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School to discuss their favorite horror on the television! And Netflix. And Prime. Let's just say it's stuff you don't watch in the theater? Tune in next time for their very excited discussion of favorites Hannibal and Penny Dreadful! And since I, Handsome Husband Jim write these posts, I get to mention a show they didn't, the 1980s show Werewolf, which was one of my first exposures to horror and can be summed up as the Incredible Hulk TV series, just with a shockingly well made werewolf instead of Lou Ferrigno. And who was quite the player behind the scenes.

Happy New Year! Here's the 2nd part of our year end review, with Jennifer Lovely, Rhias Hall,  Jillian Venters (of Gothic Charm School), and Jeff Harris (from Fanboy News Network), and Handsome Husband Jim's picks for their top 5 of the year, along with some TV horror talk, and what they're looking forward to in the new year. (And for the record, we showed everyone Halloween (2018) and they loved it.)

It's the end of the year and that means a look back at the horror movies of the past 365 days, though it feels like 365,000. Did you know that Black Panther came out this year? Crazy, right? Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are joined for the festivities by Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School, Jeff Harris from Fanboy News Network, and Handsome Husband Jim. Because they talked so long, this one is split into two parts. Enjoy their 6 through 10 picks, and look for the 2nd part next year! ;)

As foretold in last episode's micommunication, this week your hosts discuss horror that happens in one place (but not in a house, since they just did that). Listen as Jennifer Lovely gives credit where it's due for a director she dislikes, and Rhias Hall apologizes to Dave Navarro. Plus Handsome Husband Jim goes 1-1 for film recommendations!

Welcome back to Don't Read the Latin, where two older ladies argue! (Trust me, that'll make more sense after you listen.) This one is about horror movies set in houses... or at least that was the idea. Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall take you to a cul-de-sac of creepiness, so lock your doors and stay safe!

Hey, everyone, we are back from weddings, honeymoons, and horrible air quality to bring you a brand new episode. In this episode, Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall discuss their favorite funny scary movies, joined by special guest and newly upgraded Handsome Husband Jim! You'll find that Jennifer doesn't understand Earth humor, Rhias loves her some cannibal movies, and Jim has some questionable taste. Enjoy!

We are back, and if you hear something shuffling down the hall asking for Mommy and Daddy, don't answer, because it's time for Creepy Kids! Rhias Hall and Jennifer Lovely break down their favorites of the genre, but it's just for toddlers and up. Babies are their own kind of awful: awfully delicious!

After some minor technical difficulties, we are back, and this time around your hosts Rhias Hall and Jennifer Lovely talk about the movies they know are bad (or at least other people think they are), but love them anyway. And as a side note, I, Handsome Fiance Jim, think that the Howling werewolves were terrifying with their too-long, weirdly jointed fingers, and that the Brendan Fraser Mummy was the bomb; it totally buckled my swash.

After Labor Day comes the fruits of our labors: a new episode! In this one, your hosts Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are joined by their vampire expert friend, Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School! Together, they discuss their favorite vampire movies you might not know about, from the 30's until today! Sadly, I, Handsome Fiance Jim, did not have time to rewatch some of my obscure favorites, so you are spared a mention of Blood and Donuts, To Sleep With The Vampire, and Embrace of the Vampire... or are you? Muah ha ha ha ha ha!

It's that time, and here's another episode, all about Sci-Fi horror! There's some real lesser known gems in here, too, but Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall still pay tribute to the classics. Plug in your headphones, but remember to watch the skies!

Welcome back for the big eight-oh of Don't Read the Latin! This time, your hosts Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are on board for talking about Final Girls. And not just their favorites, there's a bit of discussion about the trope itself. And for the record, my AT-AT is awesome. - Handsome Fiance Jim

Jennifer and Rhias are back... or are they? This week's topic are movies with unreliable narrators, strange twists, and reality shifts, so who knows if this episode is even real? We hope your enjoyment of this episode is real, regardless!

Hey everyone, Don't Read the Latin undergoes a slightly new format with this episode, where your hostesses will be choosing a number of films to discuss instead of ranging all over the topic, so that they can delve a little deeper into the movies. In this inaugural show, Jennifer and Rhias discuss the movies that have most affected them, for good or ill! Enjoy!

For this episode, we take a little turn off Scary Movie Boulevard onto Real Life Movies Lane, to talk about the documentaries that Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall both love. If you're a fan of true crime, Golden Age Hollywood, or Werner Herzog, this is the show for you! Next time, back to horror with a little change in format to shake things up... Stay tuned!

A new episode appears! Your hostesses Jennifer and Rhias discuss horror with a religious bent. While we've done shows on the devil and exorcisms, this covers the general topic more broadly, hitting things like pagan religions and angels. On a technical note, I'd like to apologize for the sound quality on this one, I hit the wrong switch on the mic so it's really crackly. I did the best I could, but it's definitely not my best work. However, without further ado, here's the picture of Rhias, Jillian Venters, and me, Handsome FIANCE Jim as we ride the Haunted Mansion all alone.

It's that time again, and Jennifer and Rhias  are joined by Lisa (from the Noir! episode), and Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School  to talk about fairy tales: their horrifying origins, the stories of women they contain, and the movies that hold those things close to their celluloid hearts. Join them as they rip those hearts out and feast, including a few movies that you might not have thought of as fairy tales, then wind down with them as they discuss their own childhood stories and movies. Handsome Boyfriend Jim note: At no point in this episode do they even mention "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" which I think is criminal, and Jen thinks I'm criminally tasteless for loving as much as I do. But I write these blurbs, so Hansel and Gretel gets its time in the sun!

Welcome back! Now that hosts Jennifer and Rhias are back from the dead, they want to talk about how to get your kids hooked on... I mean, introduced to horror! Listen them both try to give good recommendations AND keep the show PG!

If you think that those dolls are staring at you, or your reflection in that one mirror is just a little off, then you might need this Don't Read the Latin! Your hosts Jennifer and Rhias talk about their favorite cursed items, and a few of their least favorites. And watch out for that... lamp?

Greetings Latineers, it's a new year and that means more horror to look forward to! Jennifer and Rhias run down the list of the movies they have hopes for, and couple that they have little hope for.

Hey, Latin illiterates, we're doing something a little different this time, our subject this episode is noir! Jennifer and Rhias get hard boiled with their own real-life Nick and Nora, Kevin and Lisa! (Kevin is an actual private eye!) We hope you enjoy our detour into the seedy underbelly of the city!
