A new Dinner for Fiends, and it hasn’t even been six months? How did that happen? Well, it did. And after last episode’s scream-a-palooza, you’ll find this installment either refreshingly mellow or disappointingly not a seething cauldron of nerd rage. Give it a listen if you can pry yourself away from Grand Theft Auto V long enough to do so.

A thoughtful 30-minute discussion debating the pros and (mostly) cons of the series finale of “Dexter” starts off the show. From there Andrew, Fini, Buz, Foy, and Uncle Creepy engage in less thoughtful discussions of The World’s End, Maniac, Insidious Chapter 2, Prisoners, Lesson of the Evil, and Riddick, during which I definitively solve the mystery of Riddick’s sexual proclivities.

We’ll also each offer up a few horror movies we think Hollywood should remake. I tell an abbreviated version of the long story as to how I ended up getting a story credit on the Syfy original movie Ghost Shark and what my original version would have been like. Fini reveals his irrational hatred for Charlie Hunnam. And Buz – Buz is all about winning.

As has been the case of late, this Dinner for Fiends is another marathon session that will probably take you three months to listen to - just in time for when we should be recording the next show. See how it all works out? Winning!

Post Thumb:/may11/dff.jpgWe haven’t had a lot of free time lately, and that means you’re going to need a lot of free time to digest this nearly three-hour installment of Dinner for Fiends. If you think this episode is long, just wait until you hear how contentious it gets.

After I give everyone their new Jaeger pilot names, the spirited debate quickly begins when Matt Fini and Uncle Creepy get into it over Lords of Salem. From there we discuss R.I.P.D., V/H/S/2, Hatchet III, This Is the End, The Purge, Gallowwalkers, World War Z, and The Conjuring. Then someone brings up Sharknado, and this causes Buz to snap, filled with a frothing rage that carries over into the great Pacific Rim debate of 2013. You’ll also hear about Comic-Con and Andrew Kasch’s ghostly encounter.

But most importantly, finally, at long last, I get to tell the story of the guy sitting a few seats down from me at Texas Chainsaw 3D. Although even that almost didn’t happen again thanks to the magic of Skype seemingly screwing with me on purpose. Damn you, Skype.

Prepare to get Pacific reamed in the eye of a Snarknado with this mega-sized edition of Dinner for Fiends.

Post Thumb:/may11/dff.jpgHear Uncle Creepy rant about The Last Exorcism Part 2. Hear Buz explode with rage over “The Walking Dead” season finale. Hear Matt Fini and Andrew Kasch vigorously debate Uncle Creepy over the merits of Stoker. Hear Foy describe the lunacy of Tyler Perry’s Temptation.

Wait, what was that last one?

After a bit of a lethargic start, this Dinner for Fiends turns into quite the spirited little (Little? The damn show is 2 hours long!) podcast once the great Stoker debate of 2013 gets under way, which leads into the latest “The Walking Dead” debate of 2013.

You’ll also hear Uncle Creepy, Matt Fini, Andrew Kasch, Buz, and Foy discuss, debate, and/or deride Warm Bodies, The Call, Dark Skies, Beautiful Creatures, The Host, Phantom, “Bates Motel”, “Hannibal”, Tyler Perry’s Temptation(!), and last but certainly not least, the remake of Evil Dead.

We hope you have the time to spare listening to all this because some of us stayed up past our bedtimes recording this late-night edition of Dinner for Fiends.

Post Thumb:/may11/dff.jpgAt the outset of this edition of Dinner for Fiends, I joked that I had a feeling this was going to be a pretty damn good horror podcast. You can decide whether or not that’s the case, but let me assure you the recording of this edition was a living nightmare.

Uncle Creepy, Matt Fini, Andrew Kasch, and yours truly (Foywonder) got together to record a Dinner for Fiends without Buz and… Let’s just say we never truly realized how much he was the glue that held this whole thing together from a technical standpoint. However long this episode runs, the recording of it was more than twice that. The editing of this show was not that much different from the stitching of Leatherface’s mask. Skype experienced a cornucopia of technical difficulties constantly messing up our audio, disconnecting us, and, thus, interrupting the recording. Then my laptop began overheating and… Let’s just say you’ll detect increasing levels of exasperation in our voice once you get past the 10-minute mark when the fun began.

The Collection, Texas Chainsaw 3D, Mama, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, and “American Horror Story: Asylum” are our main topics. By the last half hour, after the 4,000th technical difficulty, we just start shooting the breeze about whatever loosely related topic we felt like as we awaited yet another meltdown.

Our pain is your pleasure.

At long, long, long, long, long, long, long last… Dinner for Fiends has returned with a two-hour epic-sized edition with a lot of ground to cover jam-packed with spoiler-riffic discussions of the last three months of horror movie and television and all the sniping and snarking you love or hate or love to hate.

Yeah, we’re really late with this show. But we all have good excuses. Fini and I both got hit with hurricanes in the time since the last show. Uncle Creepy’s appendix exploded and nearly killed him. Buz and Andrew, well, they don’t really have any excuses. Since we haven’t done one since September, we have a whole lot of ground to cover. How much ground? Here are just a few of the topics we either briefly touch upon or discuss in-depth (i.e., heavy spoilers):

Bait 3D

Resident Evil: Retribution 3D

Dredd 3D

House at the End of the Street

Hotel Transylvania

Frankenweenie

Sinister

Smiley

Beyond the Black Rainbow

Paranormal Activity 4

Silent Hill: Revelations 3D

Among Friends

The Bay

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2

Plus, the new seasons of “The Walking Dead”, “Supernatural”, and “American Horror Story” are debated.

A super-sized edition of Dinner For Fiends that is as spirited as it is overdue, particularly when we get to Paranormal Activity 4 and… well… you’ll just have to listen for yourself.

Post Thumb:/may11/dff.jpgGoing into this edition of Dinner for Fiends, we were all thinking there wouldn’t be much territory to cover. Turns out there was actually much more to talk about than we expected. Of course all conversations were sandwiched between the usual nonsense.

On the menu today... The Possession, The Apparition, V/H/S, Cosmopolis, Total Recall, Juan of the Dead, Detention, YellowBrickRoad, Premium Rush, The Oogieloves, and the misadventures of a mystery movie shopper, just to name a few of topics we discuss.

Now the bad news… You ever been working on something and just get the sense that the vibe is all wrong? That’s how we were throughout this entire recording. By the end we were all convinced that this episode is going to go down in history as one of the worst ever. Buz was in a bad mood from the beginning and just seemed to be trolling the rest of us at times. Matt Fini was his usual mellow self though still quite bitter about the space baby. Andrew Kasch actually managed to stick around for most of the show but had little to contribute a lot of the time since he hadn’t seen anything but the newest Cronenberg flick that isn’t even horror. Me, I just wanted my money back from Uncle Creepy after he talked me into seeing The Apparition: better believe that got contentious.

So in addition to the sniping and bad mojo, there were also numerous technical issues (most of which have probably been edited out) and an overwhelming sense the whole show was going down in flames like the Hindenburg. Because we were so sure this Dinner for Fiends came out bad, I’m convinced it’s going to be one that you the listeners end up enjoying immensely. It just seems to work out that way.

Enjoy! Hopefully. And don't worry, we know this one sucked so we're recording another this week to make up for it! Sorry for the delay. It's as if all the forces in the universe conspired to not bring you guys this show. But here it is... for better or worse.

Post Thumb:/may11/dff.jpgIt’s dinnertime once more. The fiends have all gathered to sink their fangs into Chernobyl Diaries, Battleship, The Amazing Spider-Man, Prometheus, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. We’ll wash it all down with some listener emails for dessert, some of which are actually coherent.

Uncle Creepy opens the show with a lengthy walk down memory lane celebrating six years of Dread Central. From there he, myself, Matt Fini, Andrew Kasch, and Buz engage in a very lengthy discussion of Prometheus, very short discussions of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Battleship, somehow I ended up talking about The Amazing Spider-Man, and let’s not forget Creepy and I briefly going at it over Chernobyl Diaries.

I realize now I just wrote two different versions of the same paragraph. So be it.

Dinner is served!

And, no, you cannot have my para-bot!

Now go listen ... then head on over to iTunes and give us a review, damn it!

Dinner is served once again. More like a buffet this time given how much we have on our plates. Over a dozen movies to digest. Email for desert. And somewhere in between we'll learn that Matt Fini has an irrational hatred of pants. On this edition we'll debate the merits of The Cabin in the Woods and Dark Shadows.

We'll discuss in depth Wrath of the Titans, Mother's Day, The Asylum's Air Collision, Area 407, and - somehow - the awful and thankfully obscure 1995 Denise Richards/Paul Walker sci-fi comedy Tammy & the T-Rex.

Seriously. Tammy & the T-Rex... How do we get on these tangents?

We also briefly touch upon The Hunger Games, The Raven, The Raid: Redemption, The Avengers, Lockout, and more.

Plus, we learn about Matt Fini's aforementioned hatred of pants, Buz's love for wearing bathrobes in public, Steve's pendulum conundrum, and I explain why you're only allowed to enjoy either The Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises but not both.

Finishing things up is a batch of viewer mail that is only slightly more lucid than usual. Now go listen ... then head on over to iTunes and give us a review, damn it!

If you like Dinner for Fiends episodes that consist mostly of us jabbering about nothing of great importance, then this nearly two-hour installment is going to be music to your ears.

Myself, Uncle Creepy, Matt Fini, Buz, and (for about a half-hour) Andrew Kasch have returned for a Dinner for Fiends that might leave you with indigestion of the mind.

Everything starts off fine as we discuss in spoiler-y details the season finale of “The Walking Dead”. That’s when I make the grave mistake of bringing up the outrageous online meltdowns people are having over the ending to the video game Mass Effect 3, and suddenly the show turns into a Matt Fini therapy session. You’ll hear in painstaking detail why this game broke Fini’s heart and left him a bitter, broken shell of a man.

Then the technical difficulties begin as Space Baby tries desperately to remind me why I continue to be no fan of Skype.

But on the plus side, I think this might be the first DFF in ages that is 100% rape-free.

From there the Amanda Seyfried serial killer flop Gone gets spoiled, as does the Halle Berry shark dud Dark Tide, even more so the indie chiller ATM. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance gets burned as well. You’ll also hear our thoughts on the trailers for Dark Shadows and Prometheus. We’ll top it off with some viewer mail for dessert.

Dinner is served.

Editor's Note

What you're about to listen to came within a hair of being a lost episode. For whatever reason we were riddled with technical difficulties, which led to Buz nearly killing himself cutting together the original recording with Foy's back-up recording. Yes, the Foywonder saved the day. It took over a week but Buz managed to Frankenstein it together for you. Yes, you will hear the occasional weirdness and interference. The only thing we can do is blame it on the Space Baby. Sorry for the mess. Won't happen again.

Kate Beckinsale in fetish wear drops from ceilings. Super-powered teens go all Columbine. Ghosts terrorize Harry Potter. Liam Neeson beats the crap out of wolves. Movie endings confound. Viewer mail confounds even more so. Plus, film snob douchbaggery, two-headed sharks, men on ledges, and much, much more. Yep. A new edition of DFF is being served.

Myself, Uncle Creepy, Matt Fini, Andrew Kasch, and The Buz return for a more than feature length installment of Dinner for Fiends covering all the new post-Devil Inside releases. We’ll discuss the greatness of Chronicle, the idiocy of Underworld: Awakening, the hits & misses of The Woman in Black, the pros and cons of Kill List, and a heated debate regarding the end of The Grey. Beware of spoilers, but you should know that by now. You really, really should.

Liam Neeson would like you to know you have 5 seconds to start listening to this new edition of Dinner for Fiends or he’s going to start beating the fuck out of you. You wouldn’t want to make Liam Neeson angry, would you?
