Dead City Drive-In

David Warner | Donald Pleasence | Dick Miller

Inspired by graffiti scrawled in the stalls of the Dead City bathroom, Brandon & Chris get the wild idea to introduce their own Hall of Slime– a place for the gone (but not for-rotten) legends of genre cinema to be remembered forever. It’s a special episode that honors and celebrates the roles of some of our very favorite character actors and the rules for inclusion are easy: Inductees must be deceased and must have been in the type of movies that played on slime-splattered drive-in screens everywhere. From ooze merchant to scarred-faced arch-nemeses, beat poet murdering sculptors to machine-gun wielding future presidents, we’re dusting the cobwebs and uncovering roles deep in our inductees filmographies and welcoming this first terror triumvirate to the loving forever-home of the Dead City CELLULOID CATACOMB.

I, Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, command you… to get ready for another Dead City Drive-In Commentary Special with Brandon & Chris! We’re coating this spooky sequel with our voices like slime blowers to Lady Liberty! Watch along with us as we deep dive into a childhood classic. We’re talking genocidal madmen living inside magic paintings, mood slime with a kink for verbal humiliation, evil electric chair entities and rampaging spirits that are frankly, too hot to handle and too cold to hold! Will there be slime? Um.. is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9? Zip up your flight suit, heat up those proton packs, and crank the Jackie Wilson, we’re gonna be drippings with goo along with GHOSTBUSTERS 2!

TREMORS | THEM! | CRITTERS

With Guest Programmer JACK HOLLOWAY

Space hedgehogs with teeth! Irradiated, giant, mutant ants! Underground slugs with snake mouths! It’s a tough life for a horror movie fan, mostly because when it comes to choosing which monster we wanna snuggle up with on our car’s bench seat, we can’t pick just one! Lucky for us, Guest Programmer Jack Holloway is here to sneak his favorite monsters into the Dead City Drive-In–  and we’ve got two perfect choices waiting in the wings to join them. Sizzle up some Kevin Bacon, break out your ant farm and cozy up with your favorite critter, because if there’s anything better than watching monsters on a big screen, it’s having a few favorite CREATURE COMFORTS to go along with!

THE BROOD | XTRO | ALTERED STATES

With Guest Programmer ROBB LEE

Family dynamics can be a bit tricky– especially if Mom’s a crazy New Age nutbag who prefers to lick the afterbirth from freshly hatched brood babies rather than spend time with her familial unit. And where do you go with the conversation after you catch Dad slurping up snake eggs or devolving into a caveman who breaks into zoos to get in touch with his primordial side? Lucky for you, the Dead City Drive-In’s got you covered! Brandon and Chris are joined by Guest Programmer Robb Lee to delve deep into childhood trauma with a double feature of dysfunctional family dynamics! Lay down on the couch, pop a couple hits of acid and get ready for some intense psychotherapy… we can’t guarantee a breakthrough, but you will have a complete NUCLEAR FAMILY MELTDOWN!

NASHVILLE GIRL | HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD | HARDCORE

With Guest Programmer WILL ERRICKSON

There’s a bit of wanderlust amblin’ through the Drive-In, so Brandon & Chris enlist the help of guest programmer Will Errickson (co-author of the incredible Paperbacks From Hell and steward of the Too Much Horror Fiction Blog) to travel down those lonesome, dusty roads in hot pursuit of success and stardom. We’re slinging our guitars over our shoulders, hikin’ up our torn Daisy Dukes and thumbin’ a ride into the darkest corners of Tinseltown for a double-feature of hicksploitation and degradation– but at what cost?
