The Summer of Slashers has begun! For the next several episodes all of our double features will be slasher flicks that none of the three of us have seen. First up, we’re talking about two slashers both released in 1981, the original “My Bloody Valentine” as well as the lesser known “Madman”. If you want to follow along with the podcast, the next two entries in our slasher series will be “A Bay of Blood” and “The Prowler”.

Rejoice! Barbenheimer has arrived to save cinema! We’ve been excited about this one, and the wait is finally over. Hope you enjoy our discussions about Geta Graywig’s new film “Barbie” and the new Nolan joint “Oppenheimer”. We sure did. Oh also, it’s discussed in the intro but I’ll leave it here too, both reviews contain SPOILERS!!! Listen at your own peril. Enjoy.

Surprise, name of the theme changed! Don't let the last episode's show notes fool you, the theme this episode is "it's frickin' demons!" Double feature this time out is the modern horror classic "The Witch" as well as the 2019 film "Sator". Hope you love it.

If you want to follow along with the podcast, get ready because we've got something fun planned. Summer is officially here, and we are celebrating with what we're calling "The Summer of Slashers!" Each of the next four DIE!gest episodes will pit two slasher flicks against one another, and by the end of each episode we will collectively crown a favorite, with an ultimate winner named at the end of the summer. The only rule is that we are picking movies none of us have ever seen. First up, we will be watching the original "My Bloody Valentine" (available on Max) and "Madman" (available tubi and VOD).

We are BACK baby! Not even a pandemic and a world on the brink of collapse could keep us from reuniting in person once again. Matt, Travis and Paris recorded this episode IRL, which is our first since February 2020, right before….well, you know. Hope you enjoy this review of “Renfield” as much as we did.

Ol’ buddy ol’ pal Kyle from the Suds and Cinema podcast joins us for a BANGER of a review of Ari Aster’s third feature film, “Beau Is Afraid”. The film has been quite polarizing to say the least, and this episode does not disappoint. You’ll have to listen to see where we land individually. Short and sweet one, get into it.

It was only a matter of time before this double feature happened, and coming off the heels of "The Ring" there was no better time to do. The theme this week is "I saw 'Signs', I opened up my eyes and saw Signs...and 'Scary Movie 3'." Terrible theme name aside, this is a fun conversation you won't want to miss. If you want to follow along with the podcast, the theme next time is “Demonia Cult”. We will be watching "The Witch" (available on HBO Max) and "Sator" (available on Shudder and tubi).
