Night Howls episodes

  • Ep. 87: Carnival of Souls (1962)

    "That must have been a kick in the head!"

    This week, Matt and Cody "Admit 2" for the ultimate 60's Carnival Movie (unconfirmed). They drive this car straight off a bridge and into a discussion including: powerful hand acting, how many sips it takes to get to the bottom of a spiked mug, comparisons to this film's more-famous contemporaries, and the dangers of Organ Rock 'n Roll. Not to mention: fun transitions, gorgeous aesthetics, that ambiguous ending, and what exactly is the landlady's name...

    Find a dance partner and cut in! Will this pod finally admit it's under water or will we keep harassing retail employees until it's obvious? 

    Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 86: Suspiria (1977)

    Hang on to your dance belts...

    This week, Cody and Matt enlist at a dance academy of the occult (or AH-cult, depending on who you ask.) They discuss the striking style of Dario Argento, the fabulous Jessica Harper, and the malicious magic of Mother Markos. They also conjure up questions about hairy arms that break through windows, 70's hairstyles and their effects on chlorinated water, and what exactly a witch is to do if she loses her invisible boss.

     You'll be saying Giall-Oh Brother by the time these two learn how to pirouette.

    Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 85: The Screaming Skull (1958)

    This week, Matt, Cody and Ed the Head, come boiling up from a smoky pond with another non-AMPTP production. They talk salacious marketing tactics, the pros and cons of "Actor-Directors", and the bodily autonomy of a floating skull. Not to mention: pot-stacking soothing techniques, precarious ladder tomfoolery, atrocious artwork, and how this movie takes a common leading lady trope and flips it...on it's skull. 

    Close the armoire (unless you want to have fun) and watch out for that peacock! There's a screaming skull on the loose!

    Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 84: Train to Busan (2016)

    Crazy... but that's how it goes!

    Get your tickets ready for a trip to South Korea for one of the most beloved cult films from the last decade. This week, Cody and Matt discuss the terrors of public transportation when zombies are involved while trying desperately not to cry. They talk effective ensembles, creepy choreography, and moral malfunctions. The boys also meet a pair of veteran character actors that steal the show and a Sally Hardesty Jump Through a Window Award nominee for the books!

    Please remain seated while the train is in motion... unless you're being mauled by a baseball player. Either way, thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 83: Martyrs (2008)

    Oui! 

    This week, Matt and Cody fall down a hole of depravity while discussing this hallmark of the French Extremity. They talk shapeshifting yard work, mysterious documentarians, fabulous Mademoiselles, odd torture chamber decor, and one of the most layered finales in all of horror. 

    Trade your metal eye plate for headphones and join the boys for one of the most severe films ever covered on Night Howls!

    Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 82: King Kong (1933)

    "And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty..."

    This week, Cody and Matt traverse the rough seas on a voyage to the mythic Skull Island to meet one of the biggest stars of the silver screen. They talk ground breaking special effects, record breaking box office turnout, and the heart breaking history of stop-motion genius Willis O'Brien. They also discuss ravenous reptiles, silly spectators, and seminal cinema simians. 

    There's no denying that Kong is King when it comes to game changing genre pictures.

    Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 81: Talk to Me (2022)

    Since you asked nicely...

    This week, Matt and Cody grab the hand and beg each other to do anything but talk. Despite their best efforts, they discuss trends of A24, other famous spooky conduits, and who they would connect with on the other side. Not to mention: gruesome party games, gruesome-er Aussie Accents, and the gruesomest directorial debut they've seen in awhile. 

    Grab the hand or your nearest pod catcher and join the boys for one of horror's hottest new releases. 

    Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 80: Blood Feast (1963)

    Thank Ishtar, another movie!

    This week, Cody and Matt take a stab at the iconic independent movie that's responsible for starting the splatter sub-genre. They talk dim-witted detectives, baffling Babylonian beehives, and lolly-gagging locals. They also dive into cult icon Herschell Gordon Lewis' impact on the genre and his infamous movie marketing techniques. 

    Pull up a chair, grab a fork and spoon, and get ready for the feast. 

    Thanks for listening!
