Coffee Break Episode 1: It Comes At Night Trailer

In today's episode, Gracie and Abbey swoon over Vincent Price and laugh WAY too much for WAY too long while they discuss the amazing ridiculousness of the film, House of Wax (1953).

Episode 3: House of Wax - Her Eyes Follow You

During their second coffee break, Gracie and Abbey watch the trailer and discuss the up-coming horror movie "Happy Death Day." The film is written and directed by Christopher B. Landon.

Coffee Break Episode 2: Happy Death Day Trailer

It's the season finale of Good Mourning, Nancy and we're double digits! We would not have been able to get through these 10 episodes without your constant support, patience, and love! Cheers to you!

In this season finale episode, Gracie & Abbey get real philosophical about Jigsaw's motivations and discuss some serious topics.*** WHOA. On a lighter note, Danny Glover is in this movie and so are a few people from LOST! Oh and that guy from that movie ...uh... The Prince Groom or something.

***Trigger warning to those who've lost friends and/or family to suicide.

Again, thank you for all of your love and support! We'll see you in October with our special Halloween episodes!

Episode 10: Saw - GAME OVER!

It's our last coffee break of the season! We decided to talk about IT (2017) because everyone's talking about IT! Should your kids see it? If so what age? Should kids watch horror movies in general? Why is horror beneficial to kids? All of this plus conversations about Pennywise's GIANT head!
