It's Only a Podcast - A Horror Movie Review Show

Christian and Ian are barely surviving Daylight Savings Time.

On this episode we have a (gasp) good movie to talk about, a stack of listener feedback, and officially start #PancakeWatch2020. First up, we review a monster remake with a twist, THE INVISIBLE MAN. For our If You Got It, Haunt It segment we talk about a fake Edgar Allan Poe and actual H.P. Lovecraft adaptation, THE HAUNTED PALACE. We also discuss the Dark Universe, chicken nuggets, and Trader Joe's Cold Brew Concentrate.

*NOTE- we dance around some specifics but about halfway through the Invisible Man review we reveal some plot elements. Consider yourself warned.*

Christian and Ian are saying "Carol Anne" 121 times.

At the end of each episode we will answer the question- are we still in on this franchise or is it overkill? We round out the original trilogy and talk about POLTERGEIST 3, including the move away from suburbia, practical effects, and exterior shots. We also discuss Pixar's Cars franchise, Super Tuesday, and sticky ice.

Sight is 2020 for Christian and Ian.

We kick off a new decade leaning hard into ghost stories. Our new release review is for the latest remake of THE GRUDGE.

Christian and Ian are this year's May Queens.

On this episode we condense an entire year's worth of horror offerings into 3 lists- Best 6 of 2019, Worst 6 of 2019, and Top 6 Dead Teenager Movies. We are in near perfect agreement this year as the benefits of seagulls, farts, and copious drug use was obvious to both hosts. We also discuss softcore pornography and astrology, and try to remember literally anything about The Curse of La Llorona.

Christian and Ian are defending each other with plastic bags.

We are back with yet another Christmas-themed episode, which you'll hopefully listen to with earbuds in to try and drown out your aunt's weird questions. Our new release review is for the socially conscious third version of BLACK CHRISTMAS. We conclude our Dead Teenager Movies segment and talk about an appropriately meta dark comedy slasher, TRAGEDY GIRLS. We also discuss the X-Men, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
