Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

In continuation of our Jeff Goldblum month, we take a look at the 1978 remake Invasion of the Body Snatchers, starring a young Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams as they run from people who look normal, but who are really pod people aliens.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is truly an effective horror film full of paranoia, reminiscent of John Carpenter's later works, and it features a fantastic soundtrack. Listen for our full review.

Sorry guys. We hated - HATED - Suicide Squad with a passion. Ryne literally put his hands over his face in disgust. At a certain point in this podcast episode (about 55 minutes in), we just start listing off everything we hated about the film. Suicide Squad is a mess, and we truly would like to hear the reasons why people actually like this. The good news is that we found Genessee Oktoberfest, and it is delicious.

Our final (?) episode in the Jeff Goldblum month takes a swat at The Fly, the 1986 David Cronenberg film. Here we talk about body horror, practical effects, the quirky persona of Goldblum (he lands a 10 on the Goldblumian Factor), the chemistry between Geena Davis and Goldblum, and how much we love the Brundlefly. Also on tap: some thoughts on the new Suicide Squad film.

Join us for the next episode in Jeff Goldblum Month, where we discuss one of the most important films of the last two decades - Cats & Dogs. This rates a perfect 10 on the Goldblumian factor, but we also talk about how cats are assholes, how dogs can be stupid, and how Cats & Dogs is basically a kids' version of spy and film noir genres.

We've gotta come clean - we both liked Ghostbusters 2016. Most of the time, its jokes land; not only that, but its cast matches up with the original and it even makes some reverential references to the original. On the podcast, we talk about some of the best moments in Ghostbusters, along with its multiple flaws. We also bring up a funny theater-going moment, love for the original film, and the absurd claim that this Ghostbusters remake is full of feminist ranting.

Blood and Black Rum Podcast continues Jeff Goldblum Month with the sequel to Jurassic Park, The Lost World. This Spielberg film is a lot less serious than the original, and it resorts to a lot of hokey B-movie moments that we clearly are going to make fun of. It also ranks an 8.5 on the Goldblumian Factor. Listen in as we discuss dinos, Sam Neill, and Vince Vaughn's rousing performance.

Jeff Goldblum Month continues with The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. That's right, Blood and Black Rum Podcast cover another Wes Anderson film. This time, we're talking about our favorite ridiculous moments, including the time Jeff Goldblum smacked a dog and Portuguese David Bowie songs. ESTEBAN WAS EATEN!

Nostalgia might trick you into thinking Independence Day is a good film, but trust us when we say it is not. This marks the first episode in our Jeff Goldblum month, and we rate Independence Day a 4 on the Goldblumian Factor. We also talk about Boomer the dog, the poor special effects, and the stereotypes that abound in the film. Perfect listening for July 4 activities!

The Blood and Black Rum guys have been feeling a little down about their work schedules, so they get to vent their frustrations with a discussion about Office Space. Mike Judge's comedy perfectly comments on what's wrong with the workplace, and the guys talk about their favorite scenes. Who stole my stapler?

Blood and Black Rum Podcast tries something a little different - video games! Since we're both huge nerds, we've obviously played Fallout 4, and we're ready to discuss everything from the combat system to the story. Expect long diatribes about our favorite and least favorite parts of the game, plus some nostalgic anecdotes about the Fallout series. Oh yeah, and beer talk of course.
