B Movie Breakdown

This is the tale of Ron and he is having a really bad day. His wife left him. He gave a hobo the last of his toilet paper and he shit his pants! All on the 20th anniversary of his mother going crazy and getting sent to the looney bin! After shoving a mushroom up his butt and tripping balls, Ron discovers the secrets of the universe involving space-nuns, booty-worms, tittie-maggots and the ultimate cause of all his problems: the unconscionable Dr. Beau Nerjoose! This film is definitely “NOT YOUR AVERAGE DICK AND BALLS MUSICAL.”

Would you construct an entire science fair presentation around a dinosaur bone? Would you then use the dinosaur bone to prove the earth was created in a week? If so, you’ll be able to relate to this movie!

Angels are the Warriors of the Lord. Soldiers of God. They have leveled Sodom and Gomorrah. Told Mary she would be the mother of Christ. Fallen from grace to rule hell. This week, a group of angels drops to Earth to…help a California baseball team win the pennant. This is Angels in the Outfield. Danny Glover embraces orphans in this goofy Disney gem.

Met with mixed reviews at the box office, 2017’s the Mummy is surprisingly enjoyable. Tom Cruise delivers a decent performance playing a terrible person, and while the movie DOES try to do several things… it’s not a complete disaster? It exposes the audience to a universe that, if given the chance, could grow into something pretty sweet.

Wolf is a movie that begins as a behind the scenes thriller involving the takeover of a publishing house and ends with an epic werewolf battle between three fantastic actors. Obviously everything is more nuanced than that, but by taking us out of the world of realism and launching us in to a world where wolfmen exist, the viewer is allowed to appreciate everything the movie presents. The publishing setting makes sense when you realize the movie’s co-screenwriter was renowned poet and author Jim Harrison. A true example of writing what you know and running with it, Wolf grounds itself only to unleash it’s bestial intent at its climax. A great movie and a great way to end our 31 Days of Horror.

The good son is a movie that excells in truly setting the bar in regards to sociopaths. It could be argued that this is what happens when someone, child or adult, but having that person be a minor adds that extra level of horror, is too self obsessed and intelligent for their own good. Left to his own devices, Henry is able to twist and turn his world in to his own personal playground. If he wasn’t so obsessed with murder I’m sure with his family’s business ties he would have been a successful hedge fund manager…or the President of the United States.

Today on the podcast we continue our October horrorthon with 1992’s Dr. Giggles! This town has a doctor and his name is Rendell. Stay away from his house, ’cause he’s a doctor from hell. He chopped up his patients, every last one. And cut out their hearts purely for fun. So if you’re from Moorehigh and you should get sick, then fall on your knees and pray you die quick. The key lesson here folks, is don’t go chasing nursery rhymes…or waterfalls.

This week we bring you one of the oddest entries in Wes Craven’s filmography, 1991’s The People Under The Stairs. Continuing our month of horror, we once again have friend of the show and frequent guest, Cody, on to discuss the misadventures of Fool and his super weird run in with Mommy and Daddy. This film has that great level of suspense and horror we expect from Wes Craven with a nice dash of b movie level wackiness straight out of a Troma movie. In every neighborhood there is one house that adults whisper about and children cross the street to avoid…..get ready to step inside.

What better way to kick off our full month of horror movies than with a film from the guy who directed The Exorcist. In 1990’s The Guardian, a young couple with a newborn baby who don’t realize that the nanny they hired is a magical nymph who sacrifices infants to an evil tree. I mean do we really have to tell you anymore than that?
