A big episode for a big topic. We talk about the political/class dimensions of some of the horror movies that hold up a dark mirror to society, including The Stuff, Society, The People Under the Stairs, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I also whiff one of Dan's jokes really badly by being the most gullible person on the planet. Subtopics include what it's like to be The Thing, what The Stuff is really made of, and the soothing voice of Leonard Nimoy. CONSUME.
Hiya, Georgie! Come down into the sewer with us and we'll give you the only take you need on the new horror movie everybody's talking about. Topics include jump scares, Charles Manson's taxidermied body, and places to go in Chicago.
This one has been in the works for a while. We discuss our favorite horror movie soundtracks and go off on a lot of tangents. Our longest and most fun episode yet. Also our most complicated editing-wise, so hopefully I didn't screw it up too bad.
In which we eulogize George Romero (1940-2017), one of the all-time greats of the genre, by doing a deep dive on his most famous works, the Living Dead movies.
For our extra spooky 13th episode, you're all cursed. We talk about the best curse, the lamest curse, and the movies that were themselves cursed. Listen and share with 13 friends by midnight of the next full moon or be doomed.
We're back! We discuss the spookiest subgenre, the Haunted House story. Topics include whether we would buy a house someone was murdered in, if cats can see ghosts, and which Empire Records characters we would be. I coin the new most beautiful phrase in the English language, "Extra-contextual gimmickry," but I also describe something as "a boatload of fun" and am horrified at what an old man I sound like. Enjoy!
Me and Dan gush about one of my all-time favorite movies, Near Dark, also making time to pay tribute to the dearly departed Bill Paxton and discuss some of our favorite vampire movies. We keep it pretty spoiler-free up until the ending, but definitely watch this damn movie if you haven't seen it.
Releasing this one out of sequence so we can get it out while the movie's still in theaters. We discuss Alien: Covenant, its place in the Alien franchise, and whether Prometheus is really as bad as everyone says it is. Don't @ us (just kidding, please @ us).
We're back! After much technical difficulties (aka me being very stupid), here's us talking about Night of the Creeps, one of Dan's favorites that I had somehow never seen. I mostly ramble and recap the plot because I was so blown away by it. Gets spoilery about halfway through. Affix your brain slugs and tune in.
We do a countdown of our favorite movie monsters ever (not counting the super obvious ones). Our favorite episode yet.
