Gem Hunt

¡Hola amigos! We’re back (we’re late!), and we watched another hard-to-find movie en español! It’s Gem Hunt, ghoulies! This week we tackle 2017’s El Habitante ( The Inhabitant). Tune in for possession, Catholicism, and the father-daughter stuff Beth spoke into being?! Anyway, here’s October..

Happy start of October!!! Join us this week as we discuss the 2018 Japanese revenge flick Liverleaf. Tune in for teenage angst, killer kids, and enough blood to make Quentin Tarantino’s toe-licking-self blush. It’s going to be a blast. We also welcome some super-special time travellers with important October movie updates from the future.

If someone tells you to stay away from the creepy pathway though the woods, you best listen! The Gem Hunt crew takes a trip across the pond for a very British horror flick: The Appointment from 1982. We break down the history, rediscovery, and restoration of this once lost film, and get deep in the weeds discussing the Freudian family drama at the heart of the story. Stick around for a big ol’ preview of what we have planned for October.

If you’re reading this and/or gearing up to listen, we suggest chanting the following phrase in your bathroom mirror three times: ‘rectum? I hardly knew him!!’ Or in other words, Cody has successfully survived the big surgery! But enough life or death stuff, let’s talk life or death stuff! This week on Gem Hunt, the Dirt Dog family goes to town on a newer offering- the Mexican film Disappear Completely ( 2022). Will crime scene photographer Santiago survive a sense-stealing curse? Does the dog die? Does anyone even care? and of course we find time to chat a bit about Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Join us (or whatever), as we keep rambling along..

Welcome back to another episode of Gem Hunt, did you miss us😏?? If you’re wondering why we’re a week late, it turns out abdominal surgery can put a stop to almost anything. . even podcast editing. This week we’re tackling a little movie called lurking fear (1994) which is LOOSELY based on the Lovecraft story of the same name. Think old cosmic horror meets general hospital, trust us you’re not going to want to miss this one. . .

The 90's brought us an abundance of alien content, and embedded a profound fear of alien abductions within the minds of many impressionable youngsters . . but why? The Gem Hunt team is proud to bring you our in-depth investigative reporting. Or, more accurately, we dig into the Brian Yuzna’s 1998 alien-impregnation shocker Progeny in search of answers. Buckle up for some fun sci-fi horror schlock of dubious quality.

The Dirt Dogs are back from vacation! No more fun and games! Wait a sec- I take it back.. Join us for Death Game, which is a helluva thing. Home invasion! Threesomes! Crazy makeup! Molestation! This 1977 feature has it all. Will wild performances from Seymour Cassel, Colleen Camp, and Sandra Locke be enough to push this film into gem territory, or does it belong in the dumper? Tune in to find out.

Better late than never.. Or maybe never is okay too. It feels a bit that way the past couple of weeks. Anyway, we’re delivering this episode ridiculously late because the damn dogs ruined our recording session, and it took us a while to come down from the fury and frustration. And then we had some audio issues to boot. BUT, now without further ado, we present to you the surreal slammer jammer, Chasing Sleep, featuring none other than the star of Dumb and Dumber, Mr. Jeff Daniels. Come along with us on a journey into repulsive plumbing and chronic insomnia as we try to solve the mystery of why this film, supposedly set in Seattle, shows literally no exterior shots of Seattle.

Hi! We are Dirt Dogs and we are SHALLOW, and also GROUNDed. Which is great news, as this week’s Gem Hunt selection is a lil’ ripper from 2004 that goes by the name of Shallow Ground. It’s mostly about a very bloody nude boy and some dumb cops (I guess?). Join us as we dive on in- but watch out- this ground is hella shallow! How can GROUND even BE shallow, dear listener? Tune in to find out.

Welcome back to Gemhunt! What are we watching this week? Well, it’s nun-ya business. Just kidding, this week we’re discussing The Killer Nun (1979), an infamous nunsplotation film loosely based on a true story. What is up with us and nuns? Are we being indoctrinated by Catholicism? Maybe we’re slowly but surely turning into a religious, Catholic-leaning family. Tune in and find out.
