Mouths of Madness: A Horror Movie Podcast

This is a bonus episode of Mouths of Madness featuring our companion series, Straitjacket Talk.

In this episode, we dive deep into Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut (1999)—a haunting psychological thriller starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman at the height of their fame. We unpack the film’s eerie dream logic, secret society imagery, marriage, jealousy, sexual fantasy, and Kubrick’s signature tension-filled direction, while debating fan theories, censorship controversies, and that infamous masquerade scene. From its hypnotic cinematography and unsettling score to its bleak commentary on desire, power, and infidelity, this is a spoiler-filled horror-adjacent discussion you won’t want to miss!

Your hosts- Kevin, Nathan, and Gill

“We All Go Mad” Theme Music by Nathan

This is a bonus episode of Mouths of Madness featuring our companion series, Straitjacket Talk.

We dive into The Happening (2008)—M. Night Shyamalan’s infamous eco-thriller starring Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo—to ask: is it secretly camp or truly the worst horror movie ever? Kevin, Nathan, and Gill roast the awkward dialogue (“What? No.” “Why you eyeing my lemon drink?”), break down the lawnmower scene, baffling plot logic, the box office vs. budget, and how slick marketing + a killer trailer sold a stinker. Expect a funny, spoiler-filled movie review, retrospective, and deep-dive analysis touching Rotten Tomatoes, Letterboxd, Shyamalan’s career (Signs, Sixth Sense, The Village, Old), and whether this deserves “so bad it’s good” status…

Stuck in the “elevator to hell,” the Mouths of Madness crew (Kevin, Dan, Bearclaw & Logan) crash into Episode 48 to review Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)—the IP tug-of-war entry where Kane Hodder returns, Creighton Duke steals scenes, the Necronomicon pops up, and that infamous Freddy vs. Jason grabbing the mask tease. Expect generational takes (’80s vs 2000s), best kills (camp scene, melting cop), budget/box-office talk, why New Line ditched “Friday the 13th” in the title, and a brutally honest verdict on lore changes, body-hopping Jason, and whether the gore FX can save a franchise detour. If you love slasher history, ’90s horror, and unfiltered banter, grab Jason’s beating heart (figuratively), hit play, and dive into the madness with us—from St. Peter’s gate… straight down.
