Scorpion Milk's Mat McNerny joins us today to discuss the most joyous of terrifying movies of the 80s, The Stuff. Mat's latest album is called 'Slime of the Times'  and I can not stop listening to it. So why not ask him to come onto a show about horror movies and combine my two passions. BOOM!

Is this the end of J-Horror, or has the legacy, inspired a new batch of directors gained new legs? Marc Canale and myself dig in to find out through the American remake boom, South Korean cinema and a wealth of fresh Japanese talent.

I join here as a co-host to Marc Canale who will guide me through the origins of J-Horror. Together in this episode we begin our journey through the evolution of J-Horror, tapping into the history and early work of the originators of the genre and coming out the other side, I hope, fully prepped for the onslaught of what's to come. 

Holy Smokes, today we discuss the auteurs, three of the top directors during the J-Horror boom and the films they crafted that shook a generation of genre fans to their very core.

Today we explore the franchises. The retellings. The Japanese inclination to rework stories, films, etc. So, hold tight as we dip into Godzilla, Zatoichi, Ring, Ju-on and Tomie & so much more.

Episode 339 is here! Its been 4+ years and there has been 4+ beers but this time around we have finally caught up with Chat Pile. Straight outta Oklahoma City and thankfully unscathed from being propelled into the noise rock limelight, we welcome Raygun Busch to the show to speak with us about the 1980 slasher classic, Friday The 13th.

This is part 2 of our Paradise Lost special and we welcome to the show Gregor Mackintosh, lead guitarist with the band. The film he chose to chat about? Alejandro Amenábar's The Others. A ghostly ghosting ghost flick that loves to ghost. 

PARADISE LOST

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a two parter anyways. 1961 was not the most ground breaking year for horror movies, well, as far as the big hitter films are concerned anyways. The highs are really high & the lows are few & far between. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1961? Well, here we have the top 3. A slew of also rans. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and over 2 hours of running time split over 2 episodes. This is 1961, A Year In Horror.

• 0.33 - Shadow of the Cat
• 5.40 - Curse of the Werewolf
• 10.53 - Taste of Fear AKA Scream of Fear
• 17.31 - The Innocents (John Tantalon)
• 59.28 - Outro
