Kill Streak

The Gingerdead Man series is...still bad! But sometimes bad movies are the most fun to talk about. Is that the case with this week's episode? Only one way to find out: listen in! After the movie, we attempt to right some wrongs with some Staff Picks, where we run down some better options if you're looking for a horror movie about filmmaking.

Alright everybody, here at Kill Streak we're big enough to admit our mistakes, and listen, we fucked up. It turns out this isn't a holiday themed movie, AT ALL, and in fact it is barely a movie, period. "The Gingerdead Man" is in fact an exercise in doing the absolute bare minimum required to skate by. But that's not what we here at Kill Streak HQ are gonna do. No ma'am! We gave this episode our full effort and by god, we reviewed this film fully and with the discerning critical eye that we bring to each and every show we do. And then, after that, Eric introduced a new segment called "Wet Hot Busey Hounds" that is not as gross as it sounds. Please enjoy this non-holiday themed trash fire.

On this special Turkey/Colonizers Day episode, we put a nice little bow on the Evil Dead franchise! Tune in first for a quick segment on the Starz series "Ash vs. Evil Dead." Then we dish out our customary franchise superlatives, including such hits as "Best Ash One-Liners" and "Most Satisfying Kills!" Then, of course, we rank the series in both our personal orders and the CANONICAL Kill Streak order. And finally, we reveal our winter holiday-themed franchise, and damn it smells delicious!

This week on the pod, the Kill Streak boys are doling out some HOT takes! In this century, horror remakes are a dime a dozen but they're usually worth less than that. Does the Tapert/Raimi/Campbell produced remake/reboot of the Evil Dead series rise above its brethren? Or does this relentless gorefest belong in the depths of hell with the rest of its hot trash cousins? The only way to find out is to listen to this episode or to politely ask someone else who has! Then after the movie, we introduce a new segment honoring some of the least essential films in the horror canon. It's a must-listen!

What a wild one this is, Kill Streakers! This week we unpack the final installment of the original Evil Dead trilogy and answer some of the big questions on everyone's minds, starting with "who keeps packing up these movies?!" This was a beloved teen classic for us, so listen in to find out if it still holds up in the eyes of these jaded old men. Then after the movie, we do a little "Scored to Death: Danny Elfman Edition!" with the voice of Kill Streak, Mr. Ryan Martin himself.

What do you get when you take the creators of one of the best indie horror movies ever, give them ten times the budget to make a sequel, and set them loose in the woods of North Carolina? If you guessed one of the single greatest horror comedies of all time, you guessed right! And this week on Kill Streak, we dive DEEP into the making of "Evil Dead II" and all the thrills, chills, and Bruce Campbell spills that happen along the way. Then in our late segment, we lovingly carve a Mt. Rushgore of Horror Hunks out of the hardest of rock.

Now that Halloween season is over, it's finally time to start covering well-known, well-liked horror movies again! This week, we cover one of the greatest indie horror successes of all time, the one, the only, THE EVIL DEAD! Listen along as we gush about the profound impact this movie had on horror, low-budget filmmaking, and little Mike and Eric! Then, stick around for a particularly MATURE end segment...

We've reached the big finale of John Carpent-ober with our hero's latest (but probably not greatest) directorial effort. Sure, it's got a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, but is it really that bad? You'll have to listen along to find out. One thing is for sure, it definitely came out at the height of popularity for "Mad Men"! After the movie, we indulge our inner trick-or-treaters and taste test some of last week's top candy picks. Listen as we put our money where our mouths are by putting a lot of chocolate and peanut butter where are mouths are, also. AND THEN, listen at the very end to find out what November's series is going to be...IT'S A BIG ONE! 

In the latest October commentary, we sit down with the HILARIOUS Mookie Blaiklock (host of YOU ARE WORTHY with LilMookieB) and dissect the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space! Along the way, we cover some classic hits, like HBO nudity, the no-fat diet fad of the 90s, and what its like to work with American treasure Thomas Jane. You don't want to miss this one!

John Carpent-ober marches on with "Village of the Damned," a remake of the 1960 film of same name. Neither of us had ever seen this one, because we heard it sucked! Were the rumors on the playground back in '95 true? You'll have to listen to find out! Then, stick around for the end segment where we rank the Top 5 Halloween Candies to find in your little plastic pumpkin. It's a sweet treat you absolutely WILL NOT want to miss.
