Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

By: We Write Good
  • Summary

  • In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to Nightmare on Elm Street and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.

  • Leviathan (w/ Joe Lipsett & Trace Thurman) Aquatic Attack April vol 17
    Apr 26 2024

    Before Aquatic Attack April sinks to the bottom of the sea, we have one more gilled beastie to battle!! That’s right, we’re gulping down the oceanic variation of ALIEN and THE THING, the Italian-spiced creature feature, LEVIATHAN!! Here to help us dig for precious metals out of the raw schlock ore are two Returning Champions to the show, the Horror Queers themselves, Joe Lipsett & Trace Thurman!! Along the way, we talk about 1989’s Battle of the Deep Sea flicks, worship at the alter of Ernie Hudson, Trace keeps track of every sign inside the Mining Shack #7, debate the best underwear to bring for mining, clock every incident of sexual harassment, and ask what the NASA of the ocean is!! All this, plus we read the “Soul Pizza” Sea Monster for filth and play an extremely wet and fishy version of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! We get under the surface immediately this week on Kill By Kill: Aquatic Attack April!!

    Check out Joe & Trace's Horror Queers podcast - and listen to Joe & Gena's White Ladies in Crisis here!

    Next week, IT'S GONNA BE DE PAL-MAY!! Four episodes covering Brian De Palma horror films starting with PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (1974), followed by CARRIE (1976), THE FURY (1978), and BODY DOUBLE (1984)!!

    Apr 19 2024

    Finally, an animal attack movie where you’ve never been more on the animal’s side! That’s right, we’re dipping our flippers into frigid waters as we talk about 1977’s Jaws-ripoff meets John Wick revenge thriller, ORCA!! Here to help us navigate these dangerous waters is podcast host (Jordan, Jesse, Go! and Free With Ads), writer (Youth Group and Bubble), and Returning Champion - Jordan Morris!! Along the way, we discuss monumentally stupid plans, how to apologize to whales, how to burn down a village from the ocean, and the cast’s lack of a complete wardrobe!! All this, plus we debate how many X-Man powers this whale has, fan cast Charlotte Rampling as GI-Joe characters, and play a chew-heavy edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Get Whale Chase Madness with us today!!

Have you considered my hilarity?!

I have found Patrick and Gena at the height of the pandemic and I was mad that my friends told me nothing about this podcast. I look forward to every Friday to listen these two dissect my beloved B to Z horror movies in a tone that is not pretentious. In a world that is not all that fun and a pop culture subset that sucks joy out of things, I appreciate what Patrick and Gena do every week.

Can you marry a podcast?

Kill By Kill is funny, insightful, heartfelt and - most importantly - done with love and the appropriate amount of reverence for the subject matter. Patrick and Gena know and love horror (if not every specific movie) and bring on guests who are just as fun, smart and attractive. If I could marry a podcast, I would marry this one. Unfortunately, I cannot, so I will continue living in sin with Kill By Kill.
