We are Progressively Horrified, a podcast dedicated to the idea that horror is for everyone and, despite popular beliefs, is one of our most progressive genres of art.
Every week we watch a horror movie and talk about it through the lens of progressive politics.

By next February at the latest we'll have reviewed enough horror movies with black directors to post an episode every day. AT LEAST.
I'd love to see a lot more than that.

I had an absolute blast talking with the @proghorrorpod.bsky.social crew about one of my favorite slasher movies of all time and how it inspired my newest book, The Slasher's Apprentice! Definitely worth a listen if you have any affinity for the slasher genre.

New episode drops today! All about Alfred Hitchcock's Birds. Can we call this a monster movie? Is a Birds x Sharknado crossover in the cards Hollywood?

Listen in on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

When you do a podcast for a while, you end up with a lot of unofficial guests.
This week we're losing one of the greats. Ben's cat, Blargy, has wandered into more episodes than any guests and we are sad to say we're having to say goodbye.
