Grawlix Cinematic Universe

Long is the way, and hard, that out of Hellraiser leads up to light. What’s in the box will tear your soul apart. And yes, we have such sights to show you!

The Grawlix Cinematic Universe gets DARK with the grittiest and goriest double feature we’ve covered thus far! We review Se7en, the 1995 David Fincher sin-based serial killer classic, and Hellraiser, the 1987 Clive Barker S&M horror classic. Then, of course, we pitch our takes on a Seven/Hellraiser shared universe. Come to daddy!

In a world where the film franchises keep getting bigger a band of misfits set out to create the ultimate shared cinematic universe. 16 movies enter but only one shared universe will leave… or nine. A lot, okay?

The GCU season 1 finale is here and it is massive! We look back on the 16 movies we’ve covered in episodes #1-9. Then we take those 16 movies and combine them in the most unholy of mash-up, fan fiction universe melding movie pitches we could muster. We couldn’t do it alone! This episode features pitches from listeners, fellow podcasters and, of course, us! Prepare yourself!

In a future where the line between reality and fantasy, man and machine are blurred… no one seems to know what is really going on. Do androids dream of Martian mutants? On this Rekall journey two nerds discuss Blade Runner: The Final Cut and Total Recall (1990) before pitching several different cuts of a Philip K. Dick-averse!

You just had to do it, didn’t you? You couldn’t leave well enough alone. You just had to go and tamper with nature! Don’t you know this is what happens when man tries to play God? Don’t you know… this is how we get Ants! And wasp women, apparently.

Ant-Man and the Wasp hit theaters this weekend and we wanted to celebrate the release of the latest MCU movie. It’s only fitting because without the MCU the GCU wouldn’t be what it is! However, we decided to go… a different way. No, we will not be discussing Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp. Instead, we will be discussing Ants!, a 1977 made-for-TV movie, and The Wasp Woman, the 1959 Roger Corman low-budget monster flick.

That’s not all! We pulled Jesse over from Grawlix Podcast Prime to join us in reviewing these forgotten cinematic gems. You may also want to check out this episode’s Pre-Show, a nearly hour long bonus episode so massive it became its own show! Pre-Shows are the “show before the show” episodes available only to our Patreon supporters at the $1/month and up tier. Patrons can listen to that right on the website or over on our Patreon page.

You think you know every horror movie trope? Well, so does Joss Whedon and he’s going to do what Whedon does. Put down those pom poms, valley girl, there’s something rumbling underneath the creepy old cabin out in those woods. Join two nerds for a Joss Whedon horror-comedy double feature. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) and The Cabin in the Woods (2012)… this Cinematic Universe practically writes itself but that doesn’t stop our nerds from reaching WAY too far.

From the frozen tundras of Antarctica to the wild streets of Chinatown, things are getting weird. All we know is we just may have found big trouble! It’s a John Carpenter double feature inspired by an unsolicited listener pitch! We revisit John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) and Big Trouble in Little China (1986). Then we read the mash up from Matt Downs before descending into ridiculousness.

One is part man, part machine and all cop. The other is judge, jury and executioner. Together, they are the future of law enforcement!
