Now let me tell you a little about two girls who are in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Yes, the industry is still on strike and so are we. So we are back with our first read in a long time and we're not sure if we remember how we used to do this, but we sure as hell are gonna have fun trying to figure it out!
For today's episode we read Suffer the Children by Craig DiLouie and the description is as follows: A mysterious disease claims the world's children before bringing them back. To continue surviving, however, they need to ingest human blood. As you may guess from this synopsis, this horror fiction left us with many many feelings. Join us as we discuss our first impressions, a.ka first anxiety, existential dread, how Mr. Craiggory DiLouis had us questioning whether or not we want to be parents nd much more! Mister Craiggory DiLouis, you have some 'splainin' to do!
Read MoreHello again everyone!
We're back from an unannounced hiatus that was necessary for many reasons! Travel, family, and the havoc that general late-stage capitalism is wreaking on our chosen industry!

Join us as we talk through reasons for the strike, where we stand (hint hint: we ain't no scabs), and a pivot or maybe rather a return to our roots! Plus bonus content if you make it all the way to the end!
Can't wait to hear from all of you once you listen to this weeks episode of Disney Deviants(?)!

Read MoreWelcome back to another NOT regularly scheduled episode of Disney Deviants!
We know we promised Stepsister From Planet Weird, but hopefully you can forgive us for this deviation, because we got to sit down and talk with the director of the ENTIRE Z-O-M-B-I-E-S franchise! After a DM to our Disney Deviants Instagram, we saw that Paul had not only listen to our last episode, but that he was totally game for coming on the podcast to discuss all of the questions, comments, and concerns we had about the final (?) movie in the franchise. And our chaotic selves of course said yes! So sit down, relax, and make sure you grab a cup of tea, because we spill all of our ours!

1) How does one REALLY apply for college?
2) If you replace a whole teenage girl with a pile of junk metal and a screen, and no one is there to see it, will it go unnoticed?
3) Who has been led to believe that Zombies, werewolves, and Aliens are real based on this Movie?
4) Is the love story between shrimpy the mascot, and eel, potentially the most important love story in the franchise?
5) How does Addison's mom keep that wig so laid?
