The Lady Killers: A Feminine Rage Podcast

Dedicated to Female-Identifying Killers in Horror Each episode will feature Jenn, Sammie, Mae, and Rocco discussing a female-identifying killer in the horror genre—and sometimes the wider world of cinema—from Julia and Jennifer to Carrie and Christine. We’ll tell the story from her point of view, decide if it’s “Good For Her” Horror, and answer the most important question of all: would we die for her? Join us every Thursday as we pull on our sweaters, pick up our ice picks, sharpen our scissors, and honor the lady killers who live on the silver screen. No boys were harmed in the making of this podcast.

    Everything I love in one pod!
    I’m a big fan of The Losers’ Club and Psychoanalysis podcasts and was so excited when I saw the initial Lady Killers announcement! Jenn, Sammie, Mae, and Rocco dive deep into the complexities of female-identified killers in horror in ways that are fascinating, thought-provoking, vulnerable, and sometimes downright hilarious. I appreciate their criticisms of characters and discussions of the sociopolitical contexts the characters and films exist in and how those pieces all connect through each film’s narrative. Each episode feels like a love letter to horror films and female characters in many ways and this show has definitely become my “comfort podcast.” I love this show, the hosts, and can’t wait to see what else they have in store!! If you love critically examining horror and female-identified killers (with occasional bonus hilarious discussions of hot, sweater-wearing actors) this is THE podcast for you!!

    A truly delightful indulgence!
    I discovered this podcast about 9 months ago, & I have never been more thankful! The female forward format + the amazing hosts = the perfect recipe for fun. It has swiftly raced to the top of my list of favorites like the gorgeous dark horse that it is. I urge you to indulge- you won’t be sorry!

    I hate/love this podcast
    I’m listening to this podcast from start to finish. I got to the Carrie episode and cried at my dress at work. From the conversations around periods, to the conversation about bullying. I lost it during the ‘Good for her’ section on the of the podcast. As someone with BPD hearing Mae talk about it even briefly (it was the episode before) made me feel seen, I appreciate Jenn for talking about her tough childhood, Sammie has spoke some of the most beautiful word I’ve ever hear, and Rocco (Spelling) is always optimistic and sunny. Over all, I have enjoyed binge listening to this podcast.

    Great Discussions!
    I enjoy the insights and discussions. I love the dynamics between the hosts— they all feel like my kindred spirits. I appreciate that they don’t always agree and have a lot of fun with each other. It’s a wonderful reprieve from the real world.

    Got me through a proposal
    These guys are so awesome that I actually was able to listen to an episode and help keep my nerves steady while I get ready to propose to my girlfriend! So in a way the ladies killers podcast helps relationships!

    Feminine Rage Satisfied!
    I’ve been a Loser’s Club & Horror Virgin fan for years. So when I heard about this podcast I was excited to give it a listen. And it’s great! It’s giving… hanging with my besties and deep diving on our mutual passions. Keep it up! 🥰🥰🥰

    A podcast that I would happily die for…
    Led by Losers Club veteran Jenn Adams, the Ladykillers podcast is a fun, insightful, and sometimes therapeutic look into films that feature—you guessed it—women who kill. The movies are as unique as the hosts, and any given week could be a deep dive into classic horror, dark comedy, international mysteries, or erotic thrillers. The episodes typically go about two hours, but move quickly thanks to flawless production, and highly skilled editing. Thank you Jenn, Sammie, Mae, and Rocco for all your hard work…as long as you keep making them, I’ll keep listening. -Mike in DC

    The Vibes are Immaculate!
    I originally listened to Jenn on HV and fell in love with her deep analysis of horror films. I have a background in literary theory so it’s so interesting and fun to hear these discussions occurring around several different genres of movies and art! I love the rest of the Ladykillers crew as well! The conversations seem fluid but structured. I feel like this team really wants to hear from each other so the tone stays respectful, open, and kind. I look forward to hearing more and more! 😻😈

    One of my new favorite podcasts
    I am relatively new to listening to podcasts, and The Lady Killers show appeared in my recommendations. I’ve only listened to a couple of episodes so far, but was completely blow away by the recent episode on Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist. It is one of my favorite films, and the group had some very interesting theories and insights into the movie. I really enjoying listening to this podcast. If for no other reason, it gives me an opportunity to hear discussions of horror films from a different viewpoint than what I would normally hear. I am really excited to go back and listen to other episodes. Highly recommended.
  • The Dead Sams
    Pretty Good
    This podcast can be great but sometimes the hosts will interrupt each other just to repeat something they already said. There are also too many times where the pod will be hijacked to go on long winded and sometimes unrelated tangents. I find myself wanting to fast forward every time I feel that happening. I’ll keep listening though.
  • Luke Escool
    My new favorite
    Day one listener of Loser’s Club. An instant fan of Jenn when she joined and finally started listening to Lady Killers. I truly enjoy everything about this group, especially when you all shower love amongst each other. Looking forward to catching up on the episodes I’ve missed.
  • LeoCantu
    top tier!
    every time Roffman would bring up Sammie on the other pods I would think “Sammie needs her own pod” and here we are. This is so good.

    Dying for her, and her, and her, and...
    New obsession. Arrived here through common threads of The Losers Club, Pod & The Pendulum and other associated podcast panels. Jenn, Sammie, Mae & Rocco relentlessly bring the good stuff about horror and ladyrage through critical lenses I wish I'd had earlier in my own scholarly life. The talk is consistently hilarious, regularly sobering and always thoughtful. Thanks to you all for this program.

    Jen Adams Is Queen
    I came for Jen, and I stayed for Jen. But, the rest of the hosts are also really good and I enjoy hearing their discussions. One of my favorite podcasts
  • waxiecat
    I loved The Brood episode!
    With references to Barbara Creed and Coil The Lady Killers quickly became my favorite horror podcast. Like many horror fans don’t have enough outlets to discuss the movies I love, especially from a feminist theory point of view. Please keep up the good work The Lady Killers!
  • lan0017
    Two thumbs (and paws) up!
    Loving the discussions and I often find myself agreeing out loud with the hosts while walking my dog! He also agrees and loves listening! Can’t wait to see what other lady killers they delve into!

  • AJonesAPN
    Killer podcast!
    I love listening to this crew discuss female killers and echo my sentiments, emotions, and opinions. The latest episode on Carrie has been my fave so far. I am a HUGE King fan and Carrie is my favorite King character. Jenn, Sam, Mae, and Rocko’s discussion was on point.
  • Brian Finnerty
    Channel your feminine rage here!
    This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. It fills the hole in the soul of my spooky inner feminist that I didn’t even know was there! Keep up the great work!
  • Psychologist 339
    highly recommend!
    As a big lover of horror and feminine rage this is the perfect podcast. Everyone is so articulate about the characters they discuss. I find myself watching episodes that review movies I’ve never seen just because it’s so enjoyable to hear this crowd talk. Mae is hilarious and has such a sweet voice. I love the Taylor swift references Sammie makes! Jenn has such a great perspective on the characters. And Rocco is…woof.
  • abh8er
    Amazing show!
    I’m a big fan of the halloweenies podcast, and as a lady myself- I was absolutely thrilled when I found out about this new show! It is the PERFECT sister podcast (pun intended). It’s entertaining, funny, informational, and even had a smattering of depth and emotional realness. I highly recommend listening to this bright, hilarious and intelligent group talk about lady killers in your favorite horror movies.
  • kate.s.miles
    A new favey fave
    I love the deep dives into these movies, and I love hearing all the different perspectives. The show is so well moderated and organized, too. Normally I would think that four hosts is too many, but they manage to keep it well balanced and only chaotic in the best possible way! Looking forward to future episodes!
  • MrsBatty
    LOVE this podcast
    I absolutely love this podcast. The banter is the best! If you love women and horror then this is for you
  • LoriD23
    Great Content, Need an Editor
    I’ve enjoyed the episodes of this pod so far - knowledgeable, fun guests and hosts, interesting topics. One caveat: the episodes are SO SO long. Seriously, things get repetitive over 2.5+ hours. Tightening things up would be a benefit.
  • Phantomspit
    Love this podcast !!
    I could listen to this podcast every day of my life. The banter, perspectives, and the all around appreciation of women in horror makes for an entertaining listen. It’s a great addition to the horror podcast universe and I suggest you listen if you haven’t . 🖤
  • SludgeNate
    Wonderful niche for horror and film nerddom!!
    Being a local Chicagoan and horror fan, I absolutely love hearing you guys discuss films- both known and lesser so! - combined with your unique perspectives and backgrounds on the genre and real life! Please bring us all more of this in the future! And shout out to Mae for being a strong presence in the Chicago metal scene as well!! Love you guys!!!
  • js923!
    Great
    I love Halloweenies and the Losers Club so I was primed to like this. Great listen :)
  • Mikey Eighty Nine
    Great show
    Rocco brought weird energy to the Craft episode… Good stuff otherwise!
  • P. Lê
    A promising new podcast
    So far, I've only heard the first episode, but The Lady Killers podcast comes across as fun, fresh and insightful. The hosts have a good rapport, and the technical quality is great. Looking forward to more.
  • DOONK
    Great new pod!
    Great personalities from the Bloody Disgusting network taking on a new pod. A must listen!

    Yet Another All-Timer From the Psycho Analysis/Losers Club/Halloweenies/ Crew
    Honestly, at this point I would follow Jenn Adams and Sammie Kuykendall to any podcast they wanted to host, but the addition of Mae and Rocco bumps it all up another level. Love the subject matter, can’t wait to hear more!
  • Feen86
    Great idea
    Big fan of the Loser’s Club and Halloweenies so clearly I’m going to enjoy this too. Really cool idea for a podcast.
