Plants. Simple, still organisms that eat nutrients from the ground. Until Hollywood got ahold of them and turned them into blood hungry monsters. Today Slate will dissect the different types of carnivorous plants and take you through all of the movie originals, sequels, musical spinoffs and parody films as we discuss: Crop Killers.

Slate's episode on Hicksploitation is all about those toothless murderous rape-y bootleggin' rednecks that Hollywood loves to abuse. From "Child Bride" to Deliverance" to "I Spit on Your Grave" we'll put on our southern accents and play a round of Dueling Banjos!

In 1972 audiences around the country stood in long lines to get a look at "Deep Throat," the first mainstream pornographic film to be reviewed by Variety. Some people loved it, some hated it but everyone had an opinion.

Slate defines "Hagsploitation" as a film that takes a formerly-glamorous older actress and turns her into a psychopath in order to drive ticket sales. They can be murderesses, pill poppers, corpse hoarders or ankle clubbers but any way you slice it, these old biddies aren't taking old age sitting down.
