Welcome to episode 11, where we cover the much anticipated reboot that is the Rob Zombie directed movie The Munsters.

This movie tells the story of the infamous monster family's move from Transylvania to Hollywood. It stars many of Rob Zombie's usual cast, including Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman, Daniel Roebuck as The Count, Richard Brake as Dr. Wolfgang, and, of course, Sherri Moon Zombie stars as Lily.

Greg does not like Rob Zombie movies, but Mari does. Mari has never seen an episode of The Munsters TV show, but Greg has seen them all. Greg was ready to hate this movie, but Mari was cautiously optimistic. We were both pleasantly surprised, although Greg has many gripes, mostly about Sherri's performance as Lily. Why does she gesture like that? Why does she maintain the quiver in her voice throughout the whole movie? Why does Lily suddenly have zapping powers?  Although Greg has his complaints, we both agree Herman and The Count are the best part of the movie. Greg is impressed with the many easter eggs for the fans. Mari can't get enough of Herman's dad jokes, so much so that she won't repeat them because she doesn't want to spoil them! We don't hate this movie, but we do concede how some may. And we both love how it looks! Listen as Greg admits, reluctantly, that he actually likes one Rob Zombie movie.

This month we apologize to every movie we slandered in previous episodes as we cover director/writer Uwe Boll's Blubberella.

Blubberella is a half human, half vampire woman fighting Nazis with rebel forces in the early 1940s.

If that makes it sound interesting, it's not. It's racist, sexist, homophobic, and gross. The holocaust jokes are so wrong, only to be topped by Uwe Boll's cameo as Hitler. It's sad to see Michael Paré and Clint Howard in this. How does Uwe Boll keep making movies with actual stars in them? There's blackface. Twice! It's in the 40s, but Blubberella uses a laptop and cell phone because, funny? The best parts are two firefights, which make up about 90 seconds of this 97 minute stinker. We struggle through talking about this thing, trying to make sense of why it even exists.

Enjoy our suffering as you decide will you stay clean, or will you soak in this Corpse Tub.

In this episode, we are somewhat making up for the bad audio of our "The Worm Eaters" episode by talking about "The Brainsucker," the somehow worse second, and only other, film directed by Herb Robins. 

From 1988, it's the story of Max (played by Jonathan Mittleman, whose name is misspelled as "Middleman" in the credits,) who, after being used in a brain experiment, goes on a killing spree by, well, sucking out brains.

We watched this on YouTube, so the picture and audio quality are terrible. All the acting is bad. Everyone looks terrible, like they forgot to have anyone do hair and make-up. Max's spree goes from killing people he deems bad to ones who just happen to be there. His brain sucking machine looks like a mix of a bong and a Fisher Price toy with a crank. We can't figure out what the brain matter is. Is it tripe? Fatty chicken? How did Max set up an office in a hotel overnight? Why does the Presidential Suite look like any other crappy hotel room? Why does the Mexican cop have a French accent? Why did Mr. Robins wait eleven years to make this, only to make a movie worse than his first? Is the $386 in singles a reference to how much he spent making this? There is a lot more to question here, and we try to cover it all. Join us as we discuss a movie that luckily is closed captioned, so that we could use the occasional "[Applause]" to cheer ourselves as we dredge through this mess. 

We spoil the hell out of this movie so you can decide if you'll stay clean or soak in this Corpse Tub.

Mari and Greg are celebrating their birthdays! For some reason we decided to do it by  watching Skullduggery.

From 1983, this "comedy horror" is the story of Adam, who is dealing with a curse on his ancestors by killing people.

This movie owned us for over a week. It's light on the comedy and the horror. How many people does Adam actually kill? We aren't sure. Are they playing Dungeons and Dragons? Kinda. How does Adam carry all those costumes in such a small bag? No idea. We can't even figure out where the jokes are! Except the Ashtray Man and his Tic-tac-toe, which is funny, right? Right? Let us lead you through this terrible excuse for a movie that we never, and I mean NEVER, want to see again. Oh, and the theme song is weird. 

We spoil the hell out of this movie so you can decide if you'll stay clean or soak in this Corpse Tub.

In this episode, we cover the 137th movie we watched together, American Bigfoot. Or Kampout, depending where you stream it.

A Bigfoot goes on a rampage after its child is killed. From 2017, it stars Zach Galligan as Detective Benson, Clint Howard as Paul Miller, and probably no one else you'd recognize. 

If you've seen the trailer for this movie, you may have high hopes for it. Well, drop them. The acting is bad. The time of day is erratic. The Bigfoot wears a mask and looks like a Star Wars Holiday Special reject. The actors don't seem to be on set at the same time, and new characters pop in and out as frequently as the scenes change. Why this was made, and why people chose to be in it, are legitimate questions we can't answer. It's all nonsensical, and we're here to tell you about it all!

We spoil the hell out of this movie so you can decide if you'll stay clean or soak in this Corpse Tub.

Welcome to episode 6, where we discuss our 224the watch, the 1988 movie Grotesque.

Lisa travels with her friend Kathy to her family's vacation home to visit her parents, only to end up victims of a home invasion by six of the most annoying antagonists ever.

This has a loaded cast list for any movie fan. Linda Blair from The Exorcist stars as Lisa, 50s heartthrob Tab Hunter plays her Uncle Rod, Guy Stockwell plays her father Orville, Charles Dierkop, who can be recognized as the killer Santa from the beginning of Silent Night, Deadly Night, plays Sheriff Matson. And for Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans, there is an appearance of Robert Z'Dar with a mere 2 lines, and Billy Frank as Ear Box, well known as Nick from Hobgoblins.

The "punkers" are awful. They are annoying, they are loud, they play their roles very exaggerated, and Gibbs will probably make you want to turn this movie off. But don't! There is a lot more terrible here to enjoy! Including the ending that follows the ending! Props to Tab Hunter for putting so much energy into such a ridiculous role.

*I mistakenly say in the recording that Charles Dierkop played the killer cop in Silent Night, Deadly Night, when I meant to say the killer Santa.

In this episode, Corpse Tub discusses the weirdness of the movie American Gothic.

Six friends go on a trip, but after their plane has engine trouble, they end up on an island inhabited by a deranged family stuck in the 1920s who are not okay. Released in 1987, it stars Hollywood legends Rod Steiger and Yvonne De Carlo, and even William Hootkins, the infamous Porkins from Star Wars!

We are well aware of how illogical this movie is. Where does their food come from? Are those "kids" theirs? How did they mummify that baby? Where does Ma get her fabric? This movie left us with those question and many others, yet we still can't help relishing in its ridiculousness. Join us as we try not to think too hard, and revel in the joy of the wacko finale.

In episode 4, we go into our personal archives and visit the third movie we ever watched together, the horror/comedy/fantasy that is Stitches.

Ross Noble stars as Stitches, a clown that is accidentally killed at a kid's birthday party, and returns from the dead 6 years later for revenge.

This movie is bloody. This movie has exaggerated kills. This movie is filled with the worst of the worst dad jokes. We are not shy about our enjoyment of all of it. Yes, we know there is very little logic to the plot. Clowns are a supernatural organization? There is an ancient ritual performed when one dies? They have to create a "Spiritus Singularum" when they join up? Will you attempt the "Stitches Dad Joke" or "Foreshadowing" drinking game challenge? Leave your judgement and most of your brain (and your love for cats) behind as you listen to us spoil the hell out of this movie to help you decide if you want to stay clean or soak in this Corpse Tub.

*Apologies for the echo on the episode. We found out after we recorded that Greg had his volume too loud!*

For our third episode, we suffered through The Worm Eaters.

Herb Robins plays Herman Umgar, a German hermit who tries to keep developers from taking his land by using his "trained" worms to, at first accidentally, and then purposefully, create worm people.

This movie is poorly made. All the characters are insufferable. For some reason, a majority of the dialogue is yelled. And then there is the worms, and the eating of worms, and the above mentioned worm people.  The whole thing makes no sense, and then it gets gross, and even more gross. Listen as we try to make sense of this senseless film, rant about the awful people in it, and put off as long as possible discussing the eating. Oh, the eating.

In this episode we discuss our frustrations with The Fanatic.

John Travolta stars as Moose, a handicapped man whose obsession with horror movie actor Hunter Dunbar (Devon Sawa) escalates to stalker level.  Written and directed by Fred Durst, and also starring Ana Golja as Moose's friend Leah.

We explore the many things about this movie that pissed us off. What is Moose's condition? How does he have an apartment in L.A. on a busker's earnings? Why doesn't he have a caregiver? Is this supposed to be a horror movie? How does no one find the dead maid for three days? Does Fred Durst hate us? We don't know the answers to any of these questions, nor any of the other questions this movie leaves us with, and we have plenty to say about how much that irritates us.
