Not only are we both big fans of his work (Click here to listen to our review of Psycho Goreman) but Steve has so many similar interests as us that is was like having a conversation with a life-long friend!

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) synopsis: “Little Billy witnesses his parents getting killed by Santa after being warned by his senile grandpa that Santa punishes those who are naughty. Now Billy is 18 and out of the orphanage, and he has just become Santa himself.”

Starring: Lilyan Chauvin, Gilmer McCormick, Robert Brian Wilson, and Linnea Quigley
Director: Charles E. Sellier Jr.

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey wraps-up the holiday season with Silent Night, Deadly Night. The Christmas slasher that put Christmas slashers on the map lol! Silent Night, Deadly Night is a true cult classic of the 80s, complete with brutal kills, lots of nudity, and even mainstream controversy. But it also has a fantastic original soundtrack that Zak and Corey highly praise!

Note the boys are reviewing the uncut version that Shout Factory put out on Blu-ray. As you’ll hear on the review, they do recommend the theatrical cut over this one. Just putting that out there for all the listeners that like to watch the movie before listening.

Silent Night, Deadly Night is our last proper review of the year. We’ll catch you on the warm side of the door in 2023! Happy Holidays and have a safe new year’s eve!

He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special (1985) synopsis: “He-Man and She-Ra join together to stop Horde Prime from ruining Christmas for some Earth children stranded on Eternia.”

This week on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo review the He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special! If you grew up in the 80s then you probably either watched He-Man or She-Ra… or both! And you probably have fond memories of their Christmas special from 1985. But does it hold up as well as you remember? Well, yes and no lol! Listen to the boys go over the highs, lows, and all the up-skirts in between on this special holiday episode of TV Obscura!

Lethal Weapon (1987) synopsis: “Two newly paired cops who are complete opposites must put aside their differences in order to catch a gang of drug smugglers.”

Starring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, and Tom Atkins
Director: Richard Donner

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak kicks off the holiday season with Lethal Weapon! Like Die Hard and Invasion USA, the boys consider this a Christmas movie. After all, it was written by Shane Black lol!

While Lethal Weapon isn’t quite as obscure as other movies Zak and Corey have reviewed on the show, it is one that is near and dear to both of them. As 80s kids, you couldn’t escape the dynamic duo that is Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh! Both of our hosts watched this and Lethal Weapon 2 more times then they can count growing up and revisiting these characters for PAD is like falling into the arms of an old friend.

Let us know what you think of our Lethal Weapon review on Patreon or social media!

Chopping Mall (1986) synopsis: “A group of young shopping mall employees stay behind for a late night party in one of the stores. When the mall goes on lock-down before they can get out, the robot security system malfunctions, and goes on a killing spree.”

Starring: Kelli Maroney, Tony O'Dell, Russell Todd, and Barbara Crampton
Director: Jim Wynorski

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak review Chopping Mall aka Killbots! A quintessential 80s horror movie and a true cult classic, complete with cheesy dialogue, a healthy dose of nudity, and one of the best head explosions in B-movie history! Chopping Mall is a fun time from beginning to end and the boys have a blast breaking it down for you listening pleasure.

Don’t forget to check out our exclusive interview with Tony O’Dell. He plays ‘Ferdy’ in Chopping Mall but you’ve also seen him in The Karate Kid and the short-lived TV show, Otherworld, which we covered on TV Obscura!

Where you know him from: Family Ties (1982-89), My Demon Lover (1987), and Phantom 2040 (1994-96)

This month on Interviews After Dark we talk to actor, Scott Valentine!

When co-host Zak booked Scott Valentine for the show he wasn't quite sure what co-host Corey's reaction would be. Would Scott Valentine be too obscure of a guest? Does anyone care about My Demon Lover?

Little did Zak know, the 'Nick Moore' character that Scott Valentine played on Family Ties was very near and dear to Corey's heart! That character showed a young artist (in a family of mostly non-artists) that it was ok to stay true to who you are no matter what anyone told you! Needless to say, Corey freaked out a little (ok, a lot lol) when he found out Scott Valentine was coming on Interviews After Dark.

The cool thing is, Scott Valentine lived up to every expectation and then some! He is a genuinely nice person who is very open about his career in and out of Hollywood. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as we did recording it!

Black Moon Rising (1986) synopsis: “A thief, Quint, is hired by the Justice Department to steal incriminating tapes from a corrupt corporation. The tapes vanish when Quint hides them in the back of a hydrodynamic powered racing car that is stolen by a hot car ring.”

Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Hamilton, Robert Vaughn, and Dan Shor
Director: Harley Cokeliss

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak review Black Moon Rising! Not only was this movie written by John Carpenter but it also features multiple PAD favorites, including someone the boys had the pleasure of interviewing: Dan Shor! (Click here to listen) Black Moon Rising isn’t perfect but it’s a fun ride from beginning to end and we highly recommend watching it before listening to our full breakdown. If only for the amazing late-80s fashion lol!

Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, James Jude Courtney, and Rohan Campbell
Director: David Gordon Green

Or, if you’re like Zak and have no plans to see it, then dive right in and enjoy the lively banter.

Just a heads-up: We had to record the Skype call so there wasn’t much we could do with the sound quality. We hope the quality of the discuss overshadows the technical limitations. Let us know what you think of the review, or Halloween Ends in general, on our social media pages and Patreon!
