Apologies in advance for Chris' terrible audio. It was our first time going live, but he's since learned from his embarrassing mistake. Maybe it's more tolerable to watch on YouTube, but then you'd have to see our faces.

We made it to Season 2! We're starting with another theme...Peter Jackson January. His first film Bad Taste (1987) is a ridiculous film in every aspect but you can't help but love the off-the-wall storyline, disgusting monsters, and Derek (who has a skull flap that refuses to close throughout the movie's entirety). A huge thumbs up for Peter Jackson's 1st of many movies.

It's Episode 38 and we've decided to call and end to Season 1. Holy crap! It's been a lot of fun so far and we're looking to bring more spice to add in the mix in Season 2. Calling all horror directors, we want to talk! We've got questions and you have answers. But first let's tackle this episode and find out what were TJ's and Chris' favorite reviewed films of 2023.

In Episode 37, we finish our "Christmas" themed month-long movie extravaganza with a New Year's twist...NEW YEAR'S EVIL!!! This is a movie that neither Chris or TJ had seen or heard of previous to the podcast. Apparently, it's one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite 80's slasher (if that means anything to anyone). We agree with Quentin on this one though. This movie delivers on dialogue, unintentional humor, kill scenes, and music. But most of all it gives us the greatest line ever uttered in a film, "GET SMASHED!"

In Episode 36, we don't even bother trying to show our dislike for this movie. Like the Winnie the Pooh horror movie spoof, this one relies heavily on the viewer being simply enchanted with the character instead of the actual script. It's overall a boring and weak attempt at a retelling of the Grinch story (but you can't call it the Grinch unless you want to get sued!). 2.4/10 from us!

In Episode 35, we spend 34 minutes talking about a movie that will surely go down in history as the worst footage ever put to tape. This abomination of a movie has comedy stalwarts, Justin Long and Joel McHale, attempting somewhat dark and terrifying territory. It's a giant flop and although they are not directly at fault, they certainly didn't help carry the movie across the finish line. Was it suppose to be funny? Scary? Thrilling? Well, it was none of those. Just place this one in the "WTF Was That?" bin.

In Episode 34, we start our Christmas theme in December by exploring the very controversial (for good reason) "Silent Night, Deadly Night." This film is the sleaziest 80s horror TJ & Chris have come across in ages. They are admittedly first time viewers of this slashic and walked away surprisingly content with everything it offered minus the totally unnecessary, tasteless and inconsequential s*x scenes. If you are a fan of 80s campy horror flicks, this one will not disappoint. Just don't watch it around your family. You've been warned!

In Episode 33, T.J. declares his disgust for the typical "Walmart" variety scares that attach themselves closely to this film while Chris sings its praises for nearly the same reason. While they won't see eye to eye on this particular horror movie that falls somewhere within the timeline of the Conjuring universe, they still deeply admire one another's convictions. True friendship, baby!

Not just when evil lurks, but where? Apparently, everywhere! In this soon-to-be nihilistic classic, the director knows no bounds--which is a good thing. Nothing is off the table in terms of gore, psychological torture, and abuse which if that sounds unsettling it's because it is. This movie is not for every fan of horror. This film will stick in your gut like a heavy meal and won't be flushed until you give yourself a mental laxative. There are no gimmicky horror tropes, just pure horror on every level. We dare you to watch it!

In Episode 32, we explore the sensation that is Five Nights At Freddy's. Freddy Fazbear and Co. are tortured souls trapped within Saw-like animatronic contraptions that hunger more children's souls. Actually, in this movie the motivation for murder is somewhat muddy, but we enjoyed the movie on face value because it's Rated PG-13 and you can only get away with so much blood and guts. While the storyline seems to fold over itself in an illogical way, the first hour of the movie is better than average. Truth be told, this movie wasn't made for T.J. or Chris' tastes but we could definitely see why die-hard Freddy fans would categorize this as a win. 4.2/10 for scores!
