This week on Fearless Films, the guys discuss the very first Stephen King film adaptaion, 1976's Carrie!

Pete explains the story of a lonely, bullied high school girl who discovers she has psychic powers and ultimately unleashes her rage on all those who tormented her and more. Pete also gets excited to see John Travolta in his first major film roll, and his best villainous performance until Face/Off.

Kevin, having been conditioned by King stories at this point, assumes the worst at every turn and is suspicious of everyone's motives. He also relives his high school days during an overly long "getting ready for prom" montage, including the gathering of pig's blood for nefarious purposes.

So grab a date and join us for the greatest prom in film history, with Stephen King's Carrie! And remember: don't get too scared...

On this weeks episode of Fearless Films, the guys sit down to play a game with the darkly funny Ready or Not.

Pete delves into the pros and cons of making business deals with the Devil, and why you should always check the fine print on the contract. Also, he shows us why the Wedding Night is not the time for the bride to get to know the grooms family.

Kevin explains why board games are not the path to a billion dollar company, and you should just buy sports teams instead. He also enlightens us on the benefits of a sacrificial goat pit, and why you should have as many as possible on your property.

So grab some dice, a deck of cards, or your favorite crossbow, and join us for a game night to die for with Ready or Not. And remember: don't get too scared...

On this week's episode of Fearless Films, the guys dream up a scare with the essential 80's slasher, A Nightmare on Elm Street. This game-changer from Wes Craven is about a group of teens being stalked in their dreams by a burnt, blade wielding serial killer who can kill you in real life if you die in the dream.

Pete explains how vigilante justice can backfire if the criminal you kill has the power to come back in your children's dreams. He also reminds us of the importance of listening to your kids when they say the boogeyman is out to get them, especially if you created said boogeyman.

Kevin is excited to explore the horror dreamscape and all the possibilities it holds. He changes his mind though, when he runs across "Freddy Long-Arms" and falls out of his chair laughing.

So get a good nights sleep before joining us for this bloody good time, and remember: Don't get too scared...

On this week's special episode, the guys pick apart the two film adaptations of Stephen King's Pet Sematary.

Pete explains how an overplayed accent is the key to eternal fame, and that cats are assholes whether they are undead or alive. 

Kevin has to face the horrors of the idea that his children could turn demonic and kill him one day. Also, he agrees that cats are jerks. 

So grab a shovel and help us dig up the horror that is Pet Sematary. And remember, don't get too scared...

This week on Fearless Films, the guys redefine the slasher genre with the essential Wes Craven film, Scream (1996).

Pete breaks down the rules of every horror movie (and how they can be ignored if you are badass enough). He then reveals that horrifying truth that no matter how big a name your celebrity is, no one is safe in a horror movie.

Kevin is relieved to hear that not every horror movie from the late 90's/early 2000's is an edgy, cringey reminder of his teen years. He is also thrilled to see that these teens don't walk blindly into danger, and can actually fight back when threatened.

So join us as we Scream for joy at this classic film. And remember, don't get too scared...

On this week's episode, the guys run in terror from the 1988 remake of The Blob. It's a tongue-in-cheek monster movie with a lot of gory practical effects.

Pete explains how the only chance we stand against the Ruskies is with uncontrollable, mindless monsters that devour everything in sight. How this helps is still lost on him, but damn it this is America!

Kevin tries to figure out why this Blob menace seems intent on breaking up as many teenage dates as possible. Maybe it was scorned by a past lover? Maybe it believes that sex should wait until marriage? What kind of a broken heart dwells within the pink, gooey mass that is The Blob??

So join us as we face the unimaginable horror that is, THE BLOB. And remember, don't get too scared...

On this week's episode, the guys go back to the mall and check a remake of an old classic: 2004's remake of Dawn of the Dead!

Pete explains that zombies can run now, and characters are more like set dressing in the modern horror genre. He also details a list of fun games you can play if you are trapped in a mall during an apocalypse (most include the murder of zombies!)

Kevin mourns the loss of internal logic in the types of movies, from sudden zombie manifestations, to character laziness, all the way to plot hooks being introduced at the last second that could have been useful earlier. He also endorses the many uses of propane and propane accessories (as explosive devices).

So grab a smoothie, buy some non-blood spattered clothes at the Gap, and get a ticket at the movie theater to see Dawn of the Dead (2004) with us. And remember, don't get too scared...

On this week's episode, the guys deconstruct horror movies with the hit horror-comedy, The Cabin in the Woods.

Pete explains what it takes to make a horror movie, and why studio interference almost always ends with someone getting "axed". Also, he discusses the relationship between the audience and the movie-makers, and why hardcore fans tend to get a little too "Misery" at times.

Kevin develops a healthy new paranoia for middle-aged government drones watching and controlling his life. He also examines the long standing character tropes that make up a slasher movie, and why blood and boobs will always make money.

Finally, the guys share a special love for the actor, Fran Kranz. That is all, Fran Kranz is a delight. Don't get too scared...

This week on Fearless Films, the guys dive in headfirst to the original summer blockbuster (and the movie that almost ruined summer at the beach), JAWS!

Pete gushes over his favorite movie of all time, the breakout film of Director Stephen Spielberg and the one that changed cinema forever. Pete explains how sometimes a movie adapted from a book can be better than the source material. Then, he presents his thesis that Jaws falls under every genre of movie, not just horror.

Kevin, looking to get out of the house after our discussion about Arachnophobia, cancels his plans to go to the beach and catch some fish on the boat. After that, he critiques the characters' shark hunting techniques, based on all his years of experience on a... pond.

So join us as we explore the greatest "on the water" movie ever made (no, not Overboard with Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn). And remember, if you're going into the water, don't get too scared...
