Horror has never only been about monsters or masked slashers.
This Thursday, 28 Beads Later launches with a simple idea: two Native women talking about the movies, games, shows, and stories that keep them thinking long after they’re over. Equal parts review show, pop culture conversation, and a fun yapping love letter to the horror genre, the podcast creates space for fans who enjoy digging a little deeper while still having fun along the way.
Each episode features discussions on horror films, survival horror games, television, and genre storytelling. Listeners can expect reviews, rankings, recurring categories, hot takes, and conversations about everything from cult classics and deep cuts to the newest releases in the theaters. The show will also feature guests from across Indigenous, horror, gaming, and creative communities.
While Indigenous perspectives are central to the podcast, 28 Beads Later isn’t just an academic overview of horror but a space to celebrate the stories we love and what makes them unique to our communities.
This could be diving deep into why these stories are important to us but also could be as simple as sharing our favorite Ghostface thirst traps and Pyramid Head edits. If these areas sound interesting then you have found the right place and the right Native women to hear from.
At a time when Indigenous creators are increasingly shaping conversations across film, television, gaming, and popular culture, 28 Beads Later offers a fresh perspective grounded in a genuine passion for the genre and the communities built around it.
The podcast premieres this Thursday and will release new episodes every other Thursday.
