Welcome to a very special edition of the Reviewed to Death Spotlight Series! While we usually spend our time dissecting the silver screen, today we are cracking open a book that has left us shaken. We are thrilled to welcome author, epidemiologist, and fellow horror podcaster Viggy Parr Hampton to the show!

Viggy joins us to discuss her new novel, A Veritable Household Pet. Forget ghosts and goblins—this is the kind of horror that can actually happen. The story follows Darla Gregory, a woman whose life was altered by a lobotomy at the age of eleven, and her sister Ellie, who becomes her reluctant keeper.

The cages are open, the blood is in the water, and we are bringing "When Cinematic Animals Attack" month to a close. For our grand finale, we are heading to the coasts of Australia to review the 2025 survival thriller, Dangerous Animals.

It's been a wild month of fur, stingers, and fangs. Join us as we decide if Dangerous Animals is a modern classic that sticks the landing or if it's just bait for the bargain bin.

⚠️ Spoiler Warning: We will be discussing the twists, the kills, and the ending of Dangerous Animals in full detail.

"When Cinematic Animals Attack" month continues, and things are getting... weird. This week, Marcus and Luke leave the killer bees and sharks behind to head to 1990s Hong Kong for a movie that defies every law of physics and logic: Lam Ngai Kai’s The Cat (1992).

If you know the director from his cult masterpiece Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, you know exactly what kind of practical effects madness you're in for. 

Is The Cat a misunderstood masterpiece of world horror, or is it just too "out there" for its own good?

It’s time for the Reviewed to Death 2025 Year in Review! Marcus and Luke are back to dissect a wild twelve months of jump scares, creature features, and questionable sequels.

2025 was the year of high-stakes swings and spectacular misses. We’re breaking it all down with our definitive lists:

• The Best of the Best

• The Worst of the Worst

Before the night is over, we’re handing out some (very unofficial) hardware, including:

• The "Aunt Gladys" Award for the year's most iconic horror character.

• The "Ice Skating Ethan Hawke" Trophy for the most baffling sequel choice

Finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for. After a long hiatus, the Wheel of Bargain Bin Bounties makes its triumphant, dusty return! Marcus and Luke spin the wheel to determine which Chilling Classic will be forced upon them for the first review of 2026. 

It’s been a hell of a year for horror. Let’s bury 2025 in style.

🎭 The 2025 RTD Awards🎡 The Return of the Wheel!

It's the most wonderful time of the year... to die! Your ghoulish hosts, Marcus and Luke, are trading in their eggnog for cocktails as they celebrate the holidays with a deep-dive into the chilling world of Christmas Horror Shorts.

We're opening the crypt and pulling out three blood-soaked presents from the HBO classic, Tales From the Crypt:

• "All Through the House"

• "New Arrival”

• "Death of Some Salesmen” 

Then, we're decking the halls with viscera as we face the greatest arboreal threat of our time: the 2008 viral sensation, "Treevenge." Get ready for a gory, satirical look at the brutal revenge exacted by a group of sentient Christmas trees on the unsuspecting human population.

Grab a seat by the fire, lock your doors, and join us as we dissect these miniature masterpieces of holiday terror. Don't forget your safety goggles—things are about to get messy!

🔔 Warning: This episode contains strong language, graphic descriptions of violence, and spoilers for all four shorts. Listener discretion is strongly advised!

Happy Holidays! It's time for UnChristmas 2025. Our annual holiday tradition on Reviewed to Death.

This week, we are unwrapping the 2012 "loose remake," Silent Night, where a killer Santa is painting the town red (literally) during a local Christmas parade. Is this violent yuletide flick a modern Christmas classic or a lump of coal?

Plus, they welcome back their first-ever guest, the one and only Nick, to help them navigate the flamethrowers, wood chippers, and holiday carnage. Slasher fans, grab your eggnog and listen in—you've been naughty, and this episode is just for you!

This week, hosts Luke and Marcus are wrapping up their "Classics Reimagined" series with a truly monstrous finale! They're diving into the dark, beautiful, and highly anticipated adaptation: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

But they won't be navigating the cobblestone streets and laboratory horrors alone! The guys are thrilled to welcome back their special guest, the incomparable Uncle John! He's a lifelong monster movie enthusiast and is here to share his take on the latest interpretation of his absolute favorite cinematic creature.

Did del Toro's signature style breathe new life into Mary Shelley's tragic tale? Does this adaptation earn a place on the shelf alongside the greatest monster movies of all time? 

Join us as we stitch together the perfect discussion on creation and the monster that started it all!
