Whoo boy, are we in for a season of FX’s American Horror Story, subtitled “Cult”. For A.Ron, it’s a little long on clowns and a little light on Cult, and Cecily wonders who or what is the focus of the social skewering going on in “Election Night”, the season premiere. It’s too early to tell a lot of things, like how seriously Murphy is taking all of this, if every clown or even any clown we see is real, and exactly how much screaming Evan Peters will be doing this year, but hey, we’re all Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re done, and so is FX’s American Horror Story for yet another year, with the release of episode 610, “Chapter 10”.  This episode isn’t going to change your mind about the season one way or another, but we found it funny and campy even if the end ultimately didn’t pay off the way it could have if almost every decision about Lee’s character was the literal opposite of what the show did, but hey.  You can’t win them all, or lose them all, even if you’re Ryan Murphy writing this crazy, Learn more about your ad choices.

A.Ron and Cecily were enjoying the more light-hearted, campy feel of episode 609, “Chapter 9”, and then the Woods Witch showed up, iCloud footage was found, and things got really bloody and gross in a decidedly POV kind of way.  We talk about the lone survivor of the season, do some speculation about where the show goes as it heads into it’s final week, and admire the quick recovery of Monet’s spunk and moxy.Learn more about your ad choices.

If you like the “torture porn” sub genre of horror, then there was a lot to like about “Chapter 8” of American Horror Story episode 608, and if you didn’t… well, better luck next week.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cecily and A.Ron think that AHS season six is really bringing the scares, even if the plot and characters are still as dubious as Polk Farm Sausage. Swinging for the fences, Murphy and Co. bring a lot of death, dismemberment, and dead Mott to the proceedings but that’s not all. Thrill to Cuba embracing the darkside, chill to Matt falling to the charms of a shrieking bear monster woman, side eye a suddenly murderous Shelby, and giggle as characters film their own demise for really no damn good reason at aLearn more about your ad choices.

A.Ron and Cecily got plenty of chills and thrills in what can only be called the best episode of the season for FX’s American Horror Story.  And sure, that might be considered damning the show with faint praise, but that Pigman and Nurse killing action was LEGIT frightening.  The pivot from pointless homage to genuine horror had us hungry for more.  What’s going on with Agnus?  Who will be this season’s lone survivor?  Will Sarah Paulson out scream Evan Peters?  Stay tuned to find out!Learn more about your ad choices.

A.Ron and Cecily are thoroughly entertained by the latest installment of FX’s American Horror Story: Roanoke, “Chapter 5”. Full of gore, creepy thrills, and Evan Peter’s screaming, it’s a nice way to close the door on this hit and miss homage phase of the season, and hopefully move forward with a crazy season proper.  We’ll see if we get filet mignon or chicken liver.Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s fitting that the worst, most disjointed American Horror Story  episode (thus far!) from the “My Roanoke Nightmare” season would be an homage to the worst, most disjointed season of AHS of all time.  But still, we can’t help but look forward to episode six when Murphy and company have promised this season is going to go bonkers on us.Learn more about your ad choices.

A.Ron and Cecily are a bit divided on their opinion on “Chapter 3” of FX’s American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare, with A.Ron really digging Cricket’s psychic connection with the former inhabitants of the lost colony of Roanoke, and Cecily impatient to get to the true fire Murphy is promising for later in the season.  Also, lots of pigs, and it turns out?  Shelby is the WORST.  All this and a bunch of feedback from you fellow fans coming right up!Learn more about your ad choices.

Cecily and A.Ron discuss “Chapter 2” of American Horror Story’s sixth season, including some crazy mom moments, spooky kid talking ghosts, the best kind of found footage (involving Russell Edgington, of course), and debate whether wicker pigs are a terrifying means of home grown terrorism, or just a way to be neighborly.  I mean, who says no to pork?Learn more about your ad choices.

Cecily and A.Ron say goodbye to the “Hotel” era of “American Horror Story” as we cover the finale episode number 512, “Be Our Guest”.  Lots of questions get answered, lots more get swept by the wayside, but overall we were surprised and impressed with the amount of emotion and heart Murphy and Company brought to the proceedings.Learn more about your ad choices.

A.Ron and Cecily take in the penultimate episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, and it’s pretty good! Sure, there are some muddy character beats, and daffy concepts of glampire physiology, but that ain’t anything new. On the other hand, we got Iris building Donnovan sand castles in the sky, Liz drawwwwingggg out allllll of the thiiiiings, Ramona chewing on the scenery– and our favorite voodoo priestess, Queenie, and much more. All this, some stellar feedback, and an epic Ode to the Countess!Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Happy Friday the 13th / Double White Russian day!  A.Ron and Cecily are here to talk about the latest episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, “Room 33”.  We were treated to a delightful if non-sequitur love affair between Liz and Tristan, more Alex being Alex, John being John, Gaga kind of being awful, Iris being a weapons akimbo badass, and poor Scarlet once again being the neglected afterthought.  Oh, and Gaga has a baby glampire, which isn’t as glamorous as one would think.Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Halloween everybody! On a super spooky “Devil’s Night” podcast, Cecily and A.Ron think that episode 504 of American Horror Story: Hotel was a sound concept that fell flat for us for numerous reasons.
