At The Devils Ball

This episode we finish off "Unhappy Campers," with the help of a very special guest, the comedy producer behind the "The Mads Are Back" virtual comedy show, Chris Gersbeck. Along with Mr.Gersbeck, the guys discuss their favorite moments from one of the better installments of the "Friday The 13th" franchise. 

This week, we do another creator spotlight with filmmaker Henrique Couto, director of the film "Devil's Trail!" We ask him about production headaches, his prolific career (both behind and in front of the camera) and generally have a good time! Enjoy, and check out "Devil's Trail" on Tubi!

The guys continue their "Unhappy Campers" theme with what Sam calls a "lost classic" in "Summer Camp Nightmare!" Joined by Eric from The GARF Network, they unpack the film with topics include fascism, "Lord of the Flies" comparisons, and political allegories. Also Beef Bologna.

The guys begin their "Unhappy Campers" month with the uneven but generally entertaining Summer Camp slasher "The Burning!" They discuss the strange characters, make references to "Meatballs," and encourage everyone to play "spot the famous person before they were famous!" Enjoy!

And now, for something completely different! The guys open up the show a bit by discussing the seminal and influential Sci-Fi/Noir mashup "Blade Runner!" Along with Terry from the Strange Highways podcast, the guys break down the themes and allegories of the groundbreaking film!

The last installment of "Half-a-ween" closes with the polarizing sixth entry into the Halloween franchise, featuring a baby Paul Rudd looking a lot like modern day Paul Rudd, and a fairly incomprehensible plot! Once again, the guys are joined by our friend Steven King of "Invasion of the Podcast," and audio issues(zoom hates Nathaniel's new mic!)

The guys brave one of the most maligned entries into the Halloween franchise as "Half-A-Ween" rolls on. Sammaeal and Nathaniel tackle the strange "Full Ahab" of Doctor Loomis, discuss the films intelligence (and whether or not that intelligence is "smug" about it or not) and come down on #teamtina. 

Our old pals Steven King (No, not THAT one) of "Invasion of the Podcast" and audio issues return (along with The Shape) to discuss Halloween 4 as our "Half-a-ween" theme rolls on. We discuss the reality and intelligence of this franchise entry, along with the richly drawn characters that move through it! It's a fun episode, audio issues and awkward edits aside! One of these days we'll figure out how to do this podcast thing properly!

We begin Half-a-ween, our "Halfway to Halloween" motif with, well, "Halloween" sequels! With the help of guest Jessica Scott, the guys try to make sense of this bizarre divergent timeline, the films polarizing reputation, and how it might be simultaneously "Overrated and Underrated."

In honor of "Alien Day," (and general laziness) the guys decide to breakdown Alien with their trademark positivity and constant digressions. In this episode we try (and occasionally fail) to divorce Ridley Scott's exceptional film from the rest of the franchise, and discuss the groundbreaking (and often weird) moments contained within! Enjoy!
