Fear Street: Prom Queen
Randy from the Straight Chilling Podcast joins Caitlin to cover the newest installment in Netflix's Fear Street saga: Prom Queen! In many ways, Fear Street: Prom Queen is a very Plug It Up movie, as it features coming of age horror AND monstrous motherhood. We enjoyed being taken to a gory 80s prom - tropes and all. Tangents include: horror news, prom (of course), VH1's I Love the [Decade]s show, nicknames, camp, superlatives, and yearbooks.

Mary joins Caitlin to cover 2025's Companion. It's a fun movie that raises questions about AI, ethics, toxic relationships, and identity. It's got a great cast, fun soundtrack, and culturally relevant story. Tangents include: pets, Diet Coke, Jurassic World, trailers, The Sand, edging, customizing our theoretical companion bots, Jack Quaid, Sophie Thatcher, a FMK, annoyances, theaters, and Happy Meals.
Plug it Up is a horror movie podcast about the monstrous feminine. Host Caitlin Grant and her funny guests look at the monstrous feminine in all its forms, including: monstrous menstruation (like Carrie and Ginger Snaps), monstrous motherhood (like Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen), femmes fatales (like Jennifer’s Body and The Love Witch), black widows (like Dolores Claibore), body horror in women (like Teeth and Raw), treacherous friendships between women (like The Craft), women battling horrors (like You’re Next), and women who are themselves horrific (like Gone Girl).
Although this show focuses on the experiences and portrayals of women in horror, it’s a gender inclusive space, and the discussion is open to people of all gender identities and presentations. It’s an explicitly intersectional feminist, trans-inclusive podcast for horror fans.
