This week, we're checking in to the RAVENWOLF TOWERS from 2016! This bizarre little flick was repurposed from a Full Moon streaming series, that unfortunately was cancelled abruptly in the middle of it's season, just as it was setting itself as a kind of Kushner-Locke era AVENGERS.

Next week's episode: The Haunted Casino 

We're hitting the streets this week for a double-dose of mid-80s Linda Blair exploitation flicks! We're covering SAVAGE ISLAND, a cobbled-together amalgam of two sleazy women-in-prison movies with a tacked-on Blair wraparound, and as a bonus, we're covering the non-Empire film SAVAGE STREETS, a teen revenge flick that encapsulates the state of Blair's post-EXORCIST career. We're joined this week by the delightful Sean O'Connor of Macabre Daily!

This week we're joined by B-movie (I'm sorry, B-Plus) icon Tiffany Shepis! Tiffany started her career in James Gunn's TROMEO AND JULIET and has gone on to appear in nearly 200 projects, including Full Moon favorite DELTA DELTA DIE! We catch up with Tiffany for a delightful conversation about coming up in the microbudget horror scene and our own double-feature mixed tapes.

Next week's episode: Savage Streets / Savage Island 

We're back with the PUPPET MASTER series, and the franchise has entered a bumpy transitional period. We're talking about CURSE OF THE PUPPETMASTER, an odd side adventure starring the puppets and a crew of entirely new characters, and RETRO PUPPETMASTER, which takes us all the way back to the beginning of the timeline with Greg Sestero as young Toulon! Author and PM expert is back to walk us through the weird and tortured production of these films, and their weird fan legacy.

Next week's episode: Sideshow 

Two movies for the price of one! This week we're lumping two flicks together for one high-quality episode, with returning guest Jed Shepherd (HOST)! We're talking about 1992's BODY SNATCHERS knockoff SEEDPEOPLE, one of our last films from Full Moon's golden era, and then we're transitioning to an oddball Kushner-Locke era film from David DeCoteau, 1997's SHRIEKER!

Next week's episode: Curse of the Puppet Master / Retro Puppetmaster 

Pew pew! This week, friend of the show Adam Torkel returns to talk about one of Charlie Band's earliest hits, the sci-fi thriller LASERBLAST from 1978! This film not only looms large in Band's pre-Full Moon catalogue, it also inspired one of the best "Mystery Science Theater 3000" episodes ever!

This week we're talking about AIMEE: THE VISITOR, a title that could refer to either our movie or our guest! Director and writer Aimee Mayumi Kuge (CANNIBAL MUKBANG) joins us for one of Full Moon's most recent entries, a film that introduces cinema's first AI-generated femme fatale!

Next week's episode: Laserblast

Full Moon takes on the slasher genre for... the first time? Can that possibly be true? We'll dig into it with BLEED, Devin Hamilton's micro-budget SCREAM-a-like that has more twists than they know what to do with.

Next week's episode: AImee: The Visitor 

One of the quietly more controversial Full Moon films, the fun giant arachnid flick DEADLY STINGERS marked the contentious end of the Tempe era and sent the studio off on a new path.
