Celebrating One Year of Feminine Rage [The Lady Killers Podcast]

Horror


“Yes, we know murder is bad.”

On October 13th, 2023, The Lady Killers Podcast released its first episode to an unsuspecting public, sparking conversation about female characters we love to hate. Co-hosts Jenn Adams, Sammie Kuykendall, Rocco Thompson, and Mae Shults gathered around microphones to discuss one of our favorite female killers, Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer, Friday the 13th ), the murderous mother who kicks off one of horror’s most beloved franchises . Our goal was to explore the cinematic landscape of lady killers and the horrific world of feminine rage. Why do we find female villains so taboo? How do they thrive in a world dominated by men? What makes us love these glamorous bad girls and why would we die for them even though, yes, we know murder is bad?

Over the past year, Sammie, Mae, Rocco, and I have celebrated and saluted some of the genre’s most beguiling characters, from Carrie White (Sissy Spacek, Carrie ), Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike, Gone Girl ), Jennifer Check (Megan Fox , Jennifer’s Body ), and Julia Cotton (Clare Higgins, Hellraiser ). We’ve journeyed to Sweden and back with Ari Aster’s Midsommar , dined with French veterinary students in Julia Ducournau’s Raw , braved Takashi Miike’s harrowing Audition , and traversed Osgood Perkins’s fairytale nightmare Gretel & Hansel . From Angry princesses ( Thir13en Ghosts ) and ferocious cannibals ( The Woman ) to daredevil drivers ( Death Proof ) and alien queens ( The Faculty ), we’ve scoured the genre for our favorite female killers and discussed whether their stories are Good For Her horror . 

We’re celebrating this eventful year with a special peek behind the curtains of our raucous recording sessions. A special bonus episode features nearly an hour of wild tangents, obscure fun facts, hilarious miscommunications, and a few moments of sentimentality between four friends who gather each week from across the country to share their enthusiasm for feminine rage. We may have rounded the corner on one year of chatting fantastic femme fatales, but we’ve got no plans to slow down. The Lady Killers Podcast is hard at work on another year filled with murderous mothers, wicked witches, teen queens, and more in a new slate of cinematic women we would absolutely die for.
