Re-AniMates

This week, me and Timothy Clark answer some FAQ about Castle Freak (1995), like: Is it more of family drama with a creepy dungeon dude dropped in? How do you escape an Italian jail? Did The Duchess win Best Costume Design at the 2008 Oscars? (Yes; Easily; Tim's A Nerd So Yes). Come run around Le Castle Del Reilly with us! Molto bene!

Join me and Rob and Lucy Caruana for a look at the Haunted Hill House...House on the Hill...Haunted House on the Haunted Hill...a movie, anyway. A movie with scarcely any Jeff but enough Chris Kattan and killer 90s lines for anyone. Also: zoetropes.

Kicking off 2022 with an absolutely corker- I mean, the film [Sharkman / Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy (2005)] is rubbish but a great time was had on the pod by me and my guests Josh and Christian from the Welcome to Patchwork podcast! Jeff is in classic Mad Scientist mode and we discuss sock etiquette, good shark names and what to do when something explodes.

It's a Creature Feature! Me and Nick Mason (The Weekly Planet) check out "A Quartet of Creatures", S1/E3 of Ultraman- a show that is NOT Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. There's a lot of bad costumes and fight scenes but more importantly there's a lot of Jeff! We also look at the monster mid-life crisis, gross trivia games and why on Earth this show exists in the first place.

It's Springtime for Hitler, as me and Ben Volchok dig into Snide and Prejudice (1997), a film about a man who think he is the Fuhrer. It's not as grim a time as you think but it's no knee-slapper, either. It's a weird one! Plus: some IMPECCABLE Matthew McConaughey impressions (sorry) and lots of singing (not sorry).

Leap through your nearest plate-glass window and listen to me and Cara (Cruisin' for a Reviewsin' podcast) chat about fun action-comedy Felony (1994)! Jeff teams up with some old mates, does a lot of cool stunts and even has a romance! We talk about bugs, Nic Cage and the greatest podcast crossover of all.

Ben Nichols joins me for the gooey, sexy, monstery but very pretty From Beyond (1986)! One of Jeff's classic roles, it seems him team up with heaps of familiar friends from Re-Animator to make the moist and mind-bending masterpiece. Also: Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian, sensual pleasures and a million-dollar KFC idea.

Emily Intravia (The Feminine Critique podcast) joins me for the spooky, sleepy, slightly icky Parasomnia (2008). The film sees Jeff team up with old mate, writer/director William Malone and chewing a whole lotta gum. Plus: toilet robots, bro horror and Comb Juice comes full circle. Also, enjoy a lot of nice but unplanned bird sounds.
