Corpse Tub

For this month's episode, we are discussing a movie we swore we'd never watch again. It's 2020's Human Zoo, or The Human Zoo, according to the movie itself. 
Robert Carradine plays the Producer. No one else is significant.

Contestants compete for one million dollars by living in 8x8 cells on a 24/7 livestream reality show called Solitary Confinement. 

Our sole purpose for this episode is to keep people far away from this movie. Seriously. It's boring. It's pointless. At the end of it's gruelling 2 hours, it points at you and laughs at you for watching it. Even Carradine phones it in, seeming to read his lines for the first time during his 'big' scene. There is no reason to watch it, and we tell you why.

Human Zoo is available to stream on tubi.

This month we celebrate 5 years of "experiences" together! To commemorate, we go back to almost our very beginning, the second movie we ever watched together, 2015's American Poltergeist. 

Five college kids move into a house with a sinister history.

This movie tries to convince us Lizzie Borden was six feet tall with red hair, and that her house is now a mansion with a pool, jacuzzi, 2 saunas, and a guest house. It also tries to be scary. It fails on all accounts.

This month we talk about 1972's Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, which stars Alan Ormsby, who has writing credits that include Popcorn and Cat People, and is directed by Bob Clark, who directed Black Christmas and A Christmas Story.  None of those facts help this movie.
 
A theater group goes to an island to stay the night and raise the dead. 

Seriously, who signs on with a theater group who plans to raise the dead? That's the burning question through all of this, from the blood envelope to the boat sailing away. If that sentence made no sense, welcome to this movie.

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things is available to stream on PlutoTV, YouTube, AMC+, Full Moon, Plex, and to rent/buy on Amazon.

For this episode, we talk about what is probably the grossest movie we've ever seen, 1987's The Nest.

Meat eating roaches attack a small fishing village.

How gross is this movie? So much so that we say 'gross' approximately 33 times. You could make it a drinking game! We audibly squirm as we talk about roaches in a toilet tank, invading a diner, eating a chef, and appearing everywhere else possible. Roach Cat and Roach Dad are the only slight relief.

We did not choose the movie for this episode because it is bad. It's really not. We chose it for the zombies! From 1974, it's Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, or The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, or Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue, depending where you find it.

A couple is accused of a rash of murders by a sergeant who refuses to believe it's actually being committed by zombies.

This movie has really spooky sound effects and a lot of gore.  That's not the best part. It's the zombies! They use tools. They work together. They can make other zombies by touching the recently dead. They use headstones as weapons. It's glorious!

We can't deny how excited we are about this month's episode. Maybe you've heard us talk highly about our appreciation of Polonia Brothers movies, but with this episode, we get to fully gush about Mark and John Polonia's first movie,  Church of the Damned! 

A satanic cult goes on a killing spree, and two cops try to stop them.

It's Mark! It's John! It's Todd Michael Smith! It's Matthew Satterly! These teenagers got  a camera and made a movie! It's gory, it's amateur, and  it's poorly made. Yes. All that. We don't care, because we love Polonias, and although we critique, we do it with love. Join the Brothorhood!

Welcome to season 3! Once again, we are starting the season celebrating a work from Mr. Wings Hauser. From 1991, Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time stars Marc Singer as Dar, Wings Hauser as Arklon, and has a brief appearance by Robert Z'Dar (Eric in Grotesque) as Zavic. Some screenplay credits go to Ken Hauser, an alias of Wings.

Dar must travel to Earth to stop Arklon from using a neutron detonator to take over his home world, Arok.

We go on a bit longer than usual in this episode, but we can't help it. We love Wings Hauser! We see a lot of what we're used to from his films, be it his hand gestures or the bits in the movie we know only he could write. There is a lot of this movie that doesn't make sense, mostly that people from an inferior world aren't really that shell-shocked by what they see in 1991 L.A. Let us tell you all about it.

After a long delay, we finally have our season finale ready, which is Trucks, from 1997. It has a few stars, but we recognize a young Brendan Fletcher, who plays Logan, from Blubberella, where he played Nathaniel. Also, the ill-fated mailman, Terence Kelly,  made an appearance in American Gothic as the curiously laughing psychiatrist. 

Trucks become sentient and trap a group of people at a truck stop.

Yes, this is from a Stephen King story. Is it Maximum Overdrive or Christine? Hard to say. It definitely copies from both, and is weirder than either. The mailman, the ax-wielding suit, and the ending are why we feel everyone must know about this movie. Mari even gets a little too loud a few times, so sorry if that is jarring.

Trucks is available to stream on freevee, plex, and tubi, and to stream, rent, or buy on Amazon.

This month we cover The Being, which contains an Oscar winner, a Laugh-In legend, a munchkin, and a confusing monster.

A mutated creature wrecks havoc on Pottsville, Idaho.

We don't know how said Being gets around so quickly. We don't know if it's one or many. We don't know how it oozes through car radios. What we do know is we watched this movie so you don't have to.

For this month's episode we talk about 1983's Mountaintop Motel Massacre, a lovely movie with insects, rodents, and a surprisingly skillful murderer.

A woman gets out of a mental hospital, kills her daughter, and then many other people who were lucky enough to stay at this deteriorated motel.

Somehow Evelyn, the elderly killer, is stealthy and moves heavy bodies with ease. We wish for more scenes of the Rev and Melvin, and much less of the surviving "hero," Al. Also, how does Vernon stay conscious so long after a rattlesnake bite?

Mountaintop Motel Massacre is available for free on tubi, and to rent or purchase on Amazon.
