B Movie Breakdown

Director Bob Clark is best known for creating the holiday classic A Christmas Story, but most people don't know that he was also responsible for a much darker holiday classic as well. The type of holiday classic that is less about Christmas and more about a sorority house full of innocent college girls and a very strange killer hiding in the attic. Black Christmas is not only an important film in the world of Canadian horror, but it is now regarded as a classic of both the Christmas and the horror genres, as well as a major touchstone in the slasher genre as we now know it.

If we learned anything from Richie Rich's Christmas Wish, which is available on Disney+,  it's that to love is to own. Isn't that what the Christmas spirit is really all about anyways? And just like Christmas, this film has it all: a kid who wishes he was never born yet still physically exists when that wish comes true, some of the WORST CGI that has ever existed, and Marla Maples raising her soon to be ex-husband/President Of The United States Of America. What more could you really want out of a Christmas classic such as this?

Telepathic pets Shadow, Sassy and Chance are back! It's been three years since their trek through the woods where they telepathically talked to each other in order to make it out alive. Now their owners live in San Fransisco and they're taking a vacation to Canada. Only problem, the telepathic pets escape from the airport while being put in the cargo area of the plane. Along their journey home, they meet telepathic bully dogs, a gang of telepathic abandoned rebel dogs, and two bumbling dog catchers who get roughly $16 per dog. If you loved this movie as a kid, it's time to take another look at this Disney classic in which most of the movie is just shots of animals starring at each other as they telepathically talk to each other.

Over the past few episodes, Corey has been sharing his top ten scary guys, girls, animals, monsters, etc in movies. During that time we continuously teased Nick's lists for these very subjects and now he finally has them all ready for this exciting half episode of the podcast. We will be back next week with a normal, full episode of the podcast for your listening pleasure. 

Brace yourselves as we discuss the ultimate showdown between two of the biggest horror icons of all time. Most recently on the show we discussed the entire Freddy franchise and in the past tackled all of Jason, so what better time than now to see how the 2003 Versus film truly holds up. So pop some Hypnocil and get ready for the ride, it's Freddy vs. Jason....PLACE YOUR BETS!!! 

Last you listened, Freddy Krueger had met his match and was finally destroyed for good.....or so we thought. It took his creator, Wes Craven, to bring him back to life in the best way possible. Sadly, this true gem and solid sequel in the world of Freddy tends to get over looked due to pure Freddy fatigue. With only a few years removed from Freddy's Dead and how meta the movie was, as opposed to being an in canon sequel, tended to turn people off. If you haven't witnessed Wes Craven's New Nightmare, it's time you do. 

In less than 24 hours Halloween begins, but for now our "canon" dive into the world of Freddy Krueger is coming to an end. For 7 years Freddy tortured the kids of Elm Street and terrified audiences nationwide, but after 5 movies the world was truly ready to see Freddy dead. To most the series started to become a joke and, in this last installment, the studio definitely steered into the zany more comical side in which people viewed the character in. They also decided to throw Dream Demons into the equation, but only explore them in the final 30 minutes of the film. Speaking of the end of this film, it is entirely in 3D and you bet we damaged our psyche in order to discuss that aspect just for you!

IT"S A BOY!!!!! Get ready to have your ear drums impregnated with awesomeness as we continue our deep dive into the world of Freddy Krueger with A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child! Last we left the teens of Elm Street, young Alice used her's and the recently deceased Kristen's powers to defeat Freddy and send him back to hell once again. Now Alice and Dan have left the past behind, got a whole new group of friends, are graduating high school, and are about to find out that Alice is pregnant. Little do they know, Freddy is alive and well using their unborn child's dream state to torcher them and their new friends. Will Alice be the first to survive two rounds with Freddy? Listen in and find out!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you another B Movie Breakdown After School Special. This time around Corey is joined by former co-host Gina, as Nick is out of town, to discuss the made-for-television Disney adventure "classic" known as Fuzzbucket. While this magical tale might not be anything to write home about, at least they got to see the original commercials that played during its May 18, 1986 airdate, including one for Shanghai McNuggets! 

The Dream Master is an interesting entry in the Elm Street saga. It's definitely not a movie most people love, but it's also not a movie most people hate, it's just kind of right there in the middle. While it does a great job at developing the newly introduced Alice and her abilities as The Dream Master, it does a bad job with making you care at all about her friends; which include Joey, Kincaid, and Kristen from Part 3! Yes, three characters from the last film are actually in this film, but are sadly killed off way too quickly. If this was the plan all along for Kristen, it's no wonder Patricia Arquette didn't reprise the role. Would have been nice to see Kristen and Alice team up in that end battle against good old Freddy.
