Then a discussion of IT CHAPTER 2, followed by lots of adulation for the Hal Needham-Burt Reynolds documentary BANDIT.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays. This is episode no. 128.

Yeah it's not timely, but you get what you pay for.

Carlos and Spears are joined by Johnny Ganache, of the PINT O' COMICS podcast.

Ganache talks about stealing our format and "3 FROM HELL," Robert Zombie's latest stinker.

Glen Baisely co-directed 'TWISTED TALE: THE UNMAKING OF SPOOKIES,' a Vinegar Syndrome-produced documentary that just released as an extra on the 'SPOOKIES' Blu-Ray.

It's getting massively positive reviews, yet Glen isn't happy. Such is life in the social media age.

MONDO CREEPY TV's Matt Maisto joins Glen's therapy session.

Then we talk about The Mandalorian, The Walking Dead, The Art of Rick Baker, physics, podcast wars and your mom. 

A super-sized Mobile Horror Companion with Matt Maisto, the creative genius behind MONDO CREEPY TV, plus we ambush Glen Baisley to talk about his SPOOKIES documentary, then a shit ton of random geek talk.

Carlos and Spears react to viewer mail, then launch into a quick debate over God damned Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman.'

Filmmaker Glen Baisley has a long and tortured history with the MHC hosts, but he finally manages to make it through a 45-minute interview without throwing punches or calling the cops.

Baisley is now a behind-the-scenes DVD guy. He's shot 'on location' featurettes for DVD re-releases of true cult genre flicks such as 'The Children' (1980), 'Alice, Sweet Alice' (1976), and 'The Suckling' (1990).

'Midsommar' is  a deeply unsettling, expertly crafted cinematic experience that washes over you like a warm night's rest before you pee the bed.

But Jesus Christ it's long.

"I  have seen the future of horror. Its name is Fred Durst."

An in-depth discussion of the Fred Durst-John Travolta opus, THE FANATIC.

Episode 121.

In what turned out to be Joe's final MHC recording (until the reboot?), the intoxicated gang of three reveal their love for the (mostly) American Western film.

Each got to pick their favorite Westerns, plus a "wild card"/"honorable mention."

Carlos and Brian spend 30 minutes trying to guess Joe's wild card.

Happy Halloween!

A bittersweet episode, if you listen until the end.

Special guest Ethan thinks you've lost your right to write to film criticism if you paid 10 bucks to see Hobbs & Shaw. Carlos thinks "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" might be Tarantino's best movie. Spears is pissed.

It's MHC episode 119.
