New to The Deep Cut Podcast? This is the perfect place to jump in.

Rottin’ Roger and Evil take a break between seasons to welcome new listeners, run through the horror franchises they've covered, and give you a taste of what the show is all about.

But of course… things don’t stay on track for long.

The guys dive into the latest Halloween video game news coming out of PAX, talk about life outside the podcast, and revisit Roger’s interview with Elm Street’s own Danny Hassel.

And then… things get weird.

From bizarre headlines to a truly unbelievable story involving a quadriplegic cornhole champion turned murderer, Roger and Evil have a LOT of questions...and even fewer answers.

If you like horror, chaos, and conversations that spiral in the best way possible… welcome to The Deep Cut.

What happens after you survive Freddy Krueger…?

Roger sits down with Danny Hassel (Dan from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5) for a deep dive into his wild journey... from stepping into one of horror’s most iconic franchises to life beyond Elm Street.

Danny shares behind-the-scenes stories from working on the Nightmare films, what it was like stepping into the role of Dan, and how those movies shaped his career. But that’s just the beginning…

We also talk about:

• His unexpected path into the U.S. Army Rangers

• Life after Hollywood and finding purpose beyond acting

• His passion for music and indie filmmaking

• The reality of the horror convention scene

• And what Freddy Krueger still means to fans today

This is one of those stories that goes way deeper than horror it’s about reinvention, resilience, and living multiple lives in one lifetime.

🎧 Welcome to The Deep Cut Podcast… where we go beyond the surface.

Something isn't right in the cabin.

With Evil still missing and the sun seemingly refusing to rise, Rottin' Roger is trying to hold things together and get an episode out for the Deep Cut audience… even if that means letting Walter co-host.

Walter insists on discussing one of his favorite horror movie topics — possession.

Walter chooses The Shining.
Roger chooses Evil Dead.

But as the episode goes on, Walter keeps pushing Roger toward something far more dangerous… reading from the Necronomicon.

Roger refuses.

Until Walter suggests playing a reel-to-reel tape that supposedly contains a brand new outro song for the show.

It wasn't just music.

And whatever was on that tape may have just changed everything.

For years we’ve been friends in the horror trenches… but this is the FIRST official appearance of Strange Monkey Reviews on The Deep Cut Podcast.

Rottin’ Roger sits down with fellow horror YouTuber, film critic, and horror host Strange Monkey Reviews to talk about what it really takes to become a horror host in the modern era, how to create content that actually stands out in a sea of creators, and why some of the most interesting horror movies are the ones that don’t always get respect.

Then… Roger hits him with Hot Takes.

That’s right. We make Strange Monkey choose between some of the things he loves most ... directors, films, games — no fence sitting allowed.

This episode is fun, lighthearted, and maybe even a little inspirational for aspiring creators and horror fans alike.

If you love horror community conversations, content creation talk, and a little chaos mixed in...this one’s for you.

This week on The Deep Cut Podcast, Rottin’ Roger sits down with Moshpit Mike — 2-time JCW Gimmick of the Year winner and the self-proclaimed Man of 1000 Gimmicks.

Mike breaks down how he earned his shot with Juggalo Championship Wrestling, including the grind of tryouts at Gathering of the Juggalos, where pressure is high, crowds are wild, and nothing is guaranteed.

The conversation dives deep into the new direction and growing success of JCW Lunacy — airing live every Thursday night — and how the show’s rising viewership is proving there’s still massive hunger for chaotic, character-driven wrestling.

From gimmick evolution and deathmatch mentality to deep-cut stories only a hardcore crowd would appreciate, this episode is wall-to-wall passion, pain, and personality.

If you’re a wrestling fan who loves creativity, carnage, and carving your own lane — this one hits hard.
