SlasherCast

On this episode of SlasherCast, the five middle fingers ignore the warning signs and head into the swamp once again, and take on Hatchet III.  But, before they can put an end their Victor Crowley thoughts, they have to hack through parts 1 &  2 first.  Is Hatchet the answer to slasher fans' wet dream of a new horror icon or just a lot of stuff and nonsense masquerading as horror royalty?  Also, we get Mike's briefest news ever (too much rejoicing) and a Top Ten list for us to disagree with.  Sign the release forms and hop on the boat to this week's episode of SlasherCast.

On this Side Effect we review Zack Snyder's Man of Steel.  Dave is joined by New Jersey Nick, Mike, and returning guest K.C. Chamberlain.  We delve into all things Superman, discuss the DC Cinematic Universe, and Nick even gets to discuss his long overdue anger about Iron Man 3.

The five fingers are just full of it after bingeing on The Purge for you. Will a fill meal of mainstream horror delight the boys or leave that slightly bitter taste of bile in their mouths? After that, The Disco Exorcist titillates the boys (well, most of them) with it's mix of sex, drugs, and 70s style horror. Act now, and we'll throw in a heaping hunk of horror (mostly) trailers and Mike's news to round it out. All this, and so much more, on this episode of SlasherCast

The five middle fingers experience pain and pleasure, indivisible, on this week's SlasherCast. After a bit of Mike's news the guys examine and discuss Clive Barker's seminal 1987 classic Hellraiser. Then Nick gives his own compressed overview of its sequels and the devolution of the franchise before a roundtable review of its latest incarnation, Hellraiser: Revelations. So tune in...we have such sights to show you.

This week you'll get some news from Mike before the fellas revisit the world of analog horror with the hotly-anticipated V/H/S/2. After the original V/H/S scored a rare SlasherCast Platinum rating last year, the found footage follow-up had its work cut out for it. Could it be the rare sequel that outdoes its predecessor? Or does it fall short? Give a listen to find out, but we strongly recommend you avoid our spoiler-laden discussions if you intend to see the film.

It's another special bonus episode as Mike sits down for a one on one interview with writer/director/actor Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, Holliston, Knights of Badassdom) to talk about the new season of Holliston, the state of horror today, Everly and the hidden meaning behind Jason Goes to Hell.

It's an episode a long time in the making as the boys go in for elective surgery at the hands of the twisted twins' sophomore effort. After not showing much love to Dead Hooker in a Trunk, can they wow the five fingers with a little body modification? Plus, we get Mike's news and a great discussion about the state of horror today led by the furious one, Nick. It will take you in some deep directions, but there's still plenty of the intelligent humor you've come to love us for. It's American Mary vs the Furious Five on this episode of SlasherCast

On this Side Effect, Dave (@TheHumanIMDB), Nick (@NewJerseyNick) and returning guest D.A. Chaney (@DA_Chaney) discuss the JJ Abrams film Star Trek Into Darkness.  In addition to the review we discuss the internet backlash regarding the film's plot twist, as well as a speculation about what JJ Abrams will bring when he directs Star Wars Episode VII.  Dave attempts to justify the use of contemporary music in the new Star Trek films while Nick reacts with apathy.

On our first double review Side Effect we explore two time travel science fiction films.  Dave (@TheHumanIMDB) is joined by New Jersey Nick (@NewJerseyNick), Chris (@Paimonean), and making his podcast debut is Dave's friend Brian (@destro610).  This episode discusses Colin Trevorrow's Safety Not Guaranteed and Shane Carruth's Primer. These are two very different takes on the classic science fiction device of time travel.  During the Primer review, Dave goes on some of the longest rants in the history of the Side Effect, perhaps in attempt to crush any dissenting opinion about Primer.

Note: There are some spoilers of The Prestige during the Primer review.

SlasherCast feels the earth move under their feet as they review Aftershock, the Eli Roth starring earthquake film. It stirs up some fond Irwin Allen disaster memories for the older fingers, but will the joy ripples extend to this film? Also, we go retro and explore The Descent and fall in love with strong women fighting monsters and tight spaces. Will it be SlasherCast Gold or did we just strike Pyrite? All this, Mike's news and more in this earth-shattering episode of SlasherCast.
