Night Howls

You better watch out...

Toss out those jack-o'-lanterns and slam the door on those trick or treaters because we're about to have a bloody good Christmas. This week, Cody and Matt check their stockings and discuss ferocious filmmaking ,narrative nuances, and grotesque gore. As expected, the boys go all out on Art the Clown while discussing physical bits, comic timing, and how David Howard Thornton has earned his place in horror history.

With Art, every list is a naughty list... and you're on it!

BURN IN HELL!

This week, Matt and Cody are certainly the secretaries of something as they deep-dive into this Wes Craven cult classic, while also celebrating the birthdays of Fool, Wendy Robie, and one of the top two hosts of this program. The boys talk about the social and political ramifications of the film...just kidding...you know they have a field day with odd make-up choices, precarious tarot illustrations, fairy-tale parallels, doors in other doors, viciously adorable pups, one of the iconic mothers of horror, and why exactly are the people under there anyway...Not to mention: a fun recent celebrity run-in they had this spooky season.

This one's sure to scare your hair white so turn the tv towards the crack and  guard your doubloons!

Bughuul! Bughuul! Bughuul! Wait... wrong trickster demon.

This week, Cody and Matt fire up the old Super 8 projector and screen what just might be the "scariest movie of all time!" Between reels, the boys discuss troubled writers, effective jump scares, and this film's greater context in the horror landscape of the 2010's. They also buddy up with Sheriff Grizzled, Deputy So-and-So, and Professor Skype. Trust them, it'll make sense by the end of the episode.

Break out the eyeliner and put on your finest coat and tails for this certified horror hit!

MILK!

This week, Matt and Cody are Back! Back! We're Sorry! The boys talk about their Summer apart and are taking this week's pick all the way to the bank...head. They discuss the life and legacy of the iconic Tallulah Bankhead and the "old biddy" subgenre while also having a hay..hair?...day with scene-chewing performances, hilarious European driving techniques, pro-wrestling maids, incredibly sexy portraiture, and boggy blue boys left below. Not to mention, they are joined by this week's listener recommender and mutual long-time friend, Terrie Miller, to get her take on what gave this film it's lasting impact.

They're drowning in Bankhead impressions over here so unless you want to end up soggy in a basement, turn this car around while you still have a chance!

How do you solve a problem like The Strangers?

With one hell of a solid sequel, apparently! This week, Cody and Matt rejoin the terrifying trio at a lakeside retreat where only the finest of veteran character actors retire. They discuss 80's inspiration, nuclear family annihilation, and sequel anticipation while trying to figure out what happens after 10pm in Gatlin. They also pitch their ideas for a third entry in this continuity and how they feel about a complete reboot with Chapter One. 

Something strange is in the air... and it's probably this show!

hElLo...hello...HELLO!

This week, Matt and Cody are unscrewing a bulb and stalking their way through one of modern Horror's home invasion masterpieces. The boys unmask all the gritty details of simple story-telling, pristine direction, effective sound design, and powerfully non-method performances. Not to mention: Tamara theories, the throes of relationship woes, the fear-inducing sound of Joanna Newsom, and the real drama of the inevitable and hilarious next door neighbors. And of course, the ice cream. How could they not talk about the ice cream?!

Tamara may not be home, but you should be for this week's episode!

Game over!

This week, Cody and Matt wrap up their time on LV-426 with the mother of all sequels! They discuss the affect of 80's machismo, what to do when you find a feral child, and just how dangerous it can be when you trust a company man. Between fried eggs, the boys also discuss men in rubber suits, kids falling down chutes, and cutting ties with your horror roots! Oh yeah, and a little director called Jimmy Cameron.

Consider this podcast terraformed into the ideal den for an expectant Mother Alien!

Here kitty kitty...

This week, Matt and Cody continue their journey (chronologically) with the tow that started it all. The boys wax poetic about patience in building suspense, powerful acting ensembles, parallels to the circle of life, the beeps and boops of effective sound design, and the quaint use of technology from  yesteryear. Not to mention: ineffective felines, shocking chest pains, the fear of  going through a thin layer of mist, gender dynamics in heroic people, terrifying creature aesthetics, and why everyone refers to Sir Ridley Scott as such.

Thanks for listening and whatever you do, always go back for the cat!

Quick! Break out the flute!

At long last, Cody and Matt find themselves waking up from cryo-sleep to catch up on the Alien franchise! Between rogue transmissions, the boys discuss droid doppelgangers, doomed destinations, and delicious deaths! They also familiarize themselves with the Xenomorph family tree while piecing together the puzzle of the Prometheus.

It's an orifice bursting time... just the way H.R. Giger would have wanted!

Welcome to Night...Owls?!

This week, Matt and Cody tune in and tune back for one of the buzziest titles to hit late night and the Horror zeitgeist all year! The boys talk David Dastmalchian's turn around a leading role, split story-telling techniques, and the hallmarks of dressing women from the 70's. Not to mention: powerful talk show sidekicks, healthy psychic skepticism, and who really is the devil around here...

Thanks for listening!
